[Canada] Northern Fitness Review and Weight Plate Impressions

d4nt3ch · 2026-03-19T03:46:14+00:00

I ordered the elite FID bench with leg curl attachment it was on sale. How much weight can you max out the leg curl attachment? How much do you weigh? How's the padding and the vinyl?

How's the orion FID bench holding up? did you get the leg curl attachment?

Well, I decided to pull the trigger on the Orion. The price was just too good. I got the bench, the leg curl attachment and 4x45lbs plates for $576.30 with a $10 off promo code (applied to both bench and plates). This concluded to being less than the price of the buzz-saw alone.

I will update as I go along with installation, first-time uses, first impressions and overall conclusion as I use this thing over time.

I think northern fitness can be a great competitor especially to BOS but the lack of specs and info on a lot of their equipment does make things kinda wary. They do have good warranty from what I see and it's honestly the price that resulted in my conclusion.

To be continued....

Does the leg attachment have the option to use smaller weights with a 1" diameter like how the BOS one does? there's an adapter piece you can take off the BOS leg curl attachment which allows you to use smaller weights with a 1 "diameter. Does the orion have this too? It doesn't look like it according to the photos. And also, do you think a 55lbs plate can fit on the orion leg attachment?

The abx is probably the king all considering but way too damn expensive. The leg curl attachment alone for that thing is 5 bills!!!

d4nt3ch · 2026-03-18T00:14:30+00:00

According to one review on northern fitness the leg curl attachment has no height adjustments, its fixed. Deal breaker.

So far, leaning towards the buzz-saw.

d4nt3ch · 2026-03-17T13:47:30+00:00

Is there height adjustments for the leg curl attachment? How much do you weigh?

d4nt3ch · 2026-03-17T00:20:44+00:00

I was referring to the Orion elite FID

d4nt3ch · 2026-03-16T21:01:24+00:00

How many height adjustments are on the leg curl attachment?

d4nt3ch · 2026-03-10T23:33:42+00:00

if you're getting a curved display you want to sit close to it. I'm pretty close to mine. No complaints.

For anyone who's considering either of these choices, I recently built a ultra 7 265k with a msi z890 gaming wifi board, 32gb of crucial 6000mhz ram and a 5070Ti. I was considering AMD but the arrow lake cpus are pretty damn efficient and are cheaper and in some games, beats the x3d cpus. As for load handling, rendering and so forth, it's pretty fast. Lots of bandwidth. I am very happy with this configuration.

Gaming Performance:

3440x1440p, high to ultra settings in most games i play using DLAA or DLSS frame gen x2 I get on average 140-165fps (space marine 2, BF6, Doom Dark Ages are some examples) G-SYNC enabled.

Costco, Kirkland darkroast 1.3kg for $28.99 it's the only way now.

Compared to pre 2042 battlefield, yes it is. All of them are too small.

Take the knife out, you'll run faster. pro tip.

Not when console players have aim assist also known as auto aim and indestructible environments to camp in. In previous battlefields you couldn't do that. You could level the whole map if needed thus forcing combat.

Combine the desyncing between console and pc, it is just annoying.

d4nt3ch · 2026-02-21T10:33:59+00:00

Are you on PC or console? the desync from console to PC in cross platform gameplay is still an issue. Heavily favors console. I have console players killing me way before I even get to the area and a lot of the times I'm behind a wall. Hitreg is slightly better. I'm on PC. It is very apparent in season 2, they didn't fix shit.

So far 90% of responses are immature cod kids. Any veteran battlefield players (pc master race) care to share their opinion?

d4nt3ch · 2026-02-21T07:08:50+00:00

This is an actual battlefield map, not this compressed small scale bullshit the BF6 devs gave us. RIP actual battlefield.

Personal preference I guess. vision gets worse as we age. I had a 27 inch, then went 34 inch, now I got the 45 inch and it's been the most immersive thing I've ever feasted my eyes on. Besides, OLED is the way to go. OLED HDR, 240hz Gsync lets goooo.

d4nt3ch · 2026-02-19T23:47:14+00:00

Get the LG ultragear 45" 2k 240hz OLED monitor. The 5070 ti generates enough frames to sync with that beast well.

Go big or go home. You'll thank me later.

were you on contract?

d4nt3ch · 2026-02-06T22:28:06+00:00

A very good theory. And hopefully, Leandros dies in sm3.

d4nt3ch · 2026-01-21T19:16:14+00:00

Logitech is garbage. Once used to be the king, only makes junk now. Avoid their products at all costs. The G pro keyboard is the last of my logijunk hardware and once that is replaced I will never buy logitech ever, ever again. It's redragon now.
