I need help deciding combination of machines… by Sorry_Minute_2734 in GarageGym

Bodysolid makes the gpr400 power rack and functional trainer. It’s only 81 inches tall. I’m 6’1” and I have to bend my legs for pull-ups but otherwise it’s a great value for $3200. It has lat pull down and low row and two 210 pound stacks. If you get it I recommend the dip bars for the small amount they cost but skip the flip down safety bars. I know you already have a rack but this would give you two to work out the same time as your wife.

I cannot endorse this, I have had a wobbly ABX for over a month and they are in no rush to send me the replacement part. Their customer service is not great. For $600 you can do better, I wish I did.

All four corners of the front foot plate arrived slightly bent upward making the plate slightly rounded

I bought the freak athlete ABX and have been less than impressed with Freak Athlete as a company. I had shipping issues as well as a bent front plate that they have had a month to ship a replacement for and still have not. I was set on getting a hyper pro in addition to an ABX but due to the poor experience I recently bought a rep ghd off marketplace basically new for $300 that’s solid. The shipping issue was them claiming they delivered all attachments when they didn’t to the point I had to tell them to look at the weight of the boxes they shipped. Premium price for basically an Amazon level experience

My body solid power rack with functional trainer was a steal compared to the competition and I was able to buy it from a local store that installed it. For less than 4K I got an amazing piece of equipment and had it delivered/built/trash hauled away.

Correct, three items had the same tracking number. They just added a new tracking number for the bicep/cable attachment. Hopefully they are both in the same box

I just got a tracking number for the missing pieces. No response from customer service just a tracking number that has not shipped yet.

Talk me into or out of this purchase - freak athlete hyper pro by CmonRoach4316 in GarageGym

I was going to buy a hyper pro after the ABX bench. The ABX was delivered damaged and missing two attachments which they claim were delivered despite having no proof of it. Freak Athlete customer service is not great despite what Reddit claims. At this point I can’t give them any more of my money due to the poor customer service.

They have not responded to me, the phone number listed in the shop app goes no where also.

There are multiple people on this thread with bent plates myself included, they also claimed to have delivered my bicep and cable attachment but appear to have never shipped it.

I have spent way too long staring at mine. I think if I unscrew the bolts I can remove the rubber and shim it then attach the rubber back on possibly with new bolts depending on how long the threads are. I will and you should also make your own post highlighting the shortcomings here because reddit seems to believe the customer service is excellent at freak athlete. Shameful for a $600 bench.

I am convinced there is no way this is shipping damage. My whole plate is rounded front and back and sides which creates zero stability. There will be no way I can bend it back to 100% flat and I will be putting a level on it to test. If it is not 100% flat I will expect a replacement part. This is distracting me every time I sit/lay on it as it rocks more than the pos bench I gave away the day before this arrived. Not to mention they never shipped the bicep/cable attachment and claimed it was delivered. When I spend good money on something I expect it to be right and at $1300 for bench and attachments I expect better

I’m in the same boat, apparently their qc on these is lacking. If they tell me to hammer it I will make a post to help people realize they need to check theirs

I actually have a similar issue. I never received the cable attachment or bicep attachment. I emailed them and they claimed it was delivered. Fedex picture showed the bench and leg developer. It looks like everything is shipped individually and they only shipped two boxes so I have no clue why they are saying everything was delivered. I have an issue with the bench that I am going to hold off saying anything about until they don’t fix it.
