Anyone have a MaxPro? I’d like to incorporate heavier lifting into my training. I currently do several body weight exercises, but something like squats isn’t available since I only have dumbbells up to 35 pounds. The price seems pretty steep, but reviews are favorable, and it’s quite compact.
Is this the thing NBA Shaq has been pushing? Looks promising if it works well and is durable.
Yes - saw Shaq in their add on Facebook. Seems like something that would be easy to travel with and goes up to 300 lbs of resistance.
Not interesting in the Elite Bundle because I have a Squat Rack and weights at home. But depending on how much I travel this year the just the smart connect portable cable machine looks interesting.
Looking at this too, mostly because it seems better than using resistance bands. Pricey but looks very good. Wish I could try one out.
But a cable machine would be much costlier and take up more space

You could join planet fitness for years before you spend good money on this. You buy this and are stuck with it and it becomes a clothes rack.
You join a gym and have access to more/much better equipment and if you find you arent going you can cancel.
Personally I would never purchase something like this.

I don’t disagree with your math, but looking at the MaxPro, it would make a really shitty clothes rack.

I agree on the pricing side. However, time is money, and getting to and from the gym takes time. As a parent of two young kids, I can never have enough time in the day, so having something like this I can use without getting in the car and driving somewhere is often worth the tradeoff. My wife has said no to the Endless Pool idea, but adding this is not much different than getting a treadmill.

I think it depends on what your fitness goals/needs are. I have a simple bench and dumbbells at home. For my needs it’s plenty. Sure, all the equipment at the gym is nice but not critical for my needs or many endurance athletes.
Of course, there’s no way I’d pay the amount they’re asking for that device. No where close. The idea is nice with how compact it is and the ability to go high in weight.
If you’re going to exercise at home, you’d possibly be looking for used real gym equipment (rack, bench, barbell, plates etc.); if you’re looking for portability also, then, that’s a different story

If you’re planning on doing deadlifts under heavy load, I would be concerned that this fucks up your knees by not being able to stand plane on the ground. Don’t underestimate the pressure your knees need to cope with. If your feet are not properly supporting the rest of your body, not sure what that does…
One thing that really sticks out to me is that it provides concentric resistance only, not eccentric. That’s going to dramatically reduce time under tension, and make any exercise fundamentally different from the free-weight equivalent (and reduce the training benefit). It would be like only doing bottoms-up squats, which isn’t something anyone would program.

Not that you’d achieve your WT goal with a treadmill but I think that would be a better use of $1200 for an endurance athlete. This item looks very gimmike and not worth the price. Kinda like the mirror wall workout POS. Useless to anyone who is already in decent shape. Look on FB Marketplace. $1200 will go a long way. I think even a bowflex would be better than this. That’s what I started with and added equiment I wanted over time…
