BruteForce UX1 Functional Trainer Rack Review: All-in-One That FOLDS!

[@BRUTEforceAU]

G’day Coop! Thanks for reviewing our UX1! We’re glad you loved the FOLD. We hear you on the front uprights. This was a decision made by our engineers to reduce the weight of the folding sides. Our stress tests were extremely positive, so safety is not an issue. Plus all of our machines are covered by our Lifetime Structural Warranty. The “Live” feature of our smith bar still offers a locked-in vertical plain, but adds a bit more freedom to the horizontal roll which helps stabilise your core. Our other foldable model, the UM2, does offer around 60% less roll for that more traditional smith movement. Rest assured, the safety and stability of the smith on the UX1 is still there. Despite having ample weight on the stacks, as you mentioned, for those heavy hitters that require more for their lat pull downs and rows, they can add the plate horns to the stack for up to 200lbs extra weight by removing one of the metal shrouds at the back. As for installation, our customers are reporting completion time of around 6 hours (one even states he had it done in 3.5 hours!). We have assembly guide videos to follow along with the extensive assembly manuals that come with the machine. Keep an eye out for our future products. We have some exciting stuff in the works. If anyone has any questions, we’re happy to answer them!

[@balboa0621]

You mentioned powertec. Why haven't you reviewed anything from them? Their lever gym is a unique piece and their compact leg sled looks like a great space saving option for home gyms. Make it happen!

[@marioalvillar7276]

Wey need this rewiew, coop where Is our rewiew from powertec or gmwd

[@matthewsmith1079]

I’ve asked this many times with no answer

[@marioalvillar7276]

@@matthewsmith1079 we have to ask AND every video, we could get lucky

[@DaveSchneider7]

I'd bet it's because Powertec refuses to send them the equipment for free to review. GGR refuses to review anything they have to pay for

[@bigk2080]

​​@@DaveSchneider7 no, he has done reviews on items he has purchased himself. I admit it's been awhile but to say he hasn't is wrong. 12:49 He mentioned power tech, so perhaps we will see a video in the future .

[@justinhamilton5844]

I have this in my PT studio. Great piece of kit.

[@nathan_middleton_]

The "live" feature isn't a bad idea, but would be even better if you had the option to lock them out. That way you can get the best of both worlds and choose between complete free-weight, partially stabilised, or fully stabilised.

[@acecalzadilla6878]

I almost got this in March, emailed them back and forth, No one had any videos on it. I really wanted it because it folded and I could fit my truck in my garage. ended up re- arranging my tool boxes and ended up getting a Fray Fitness functional trainer power rack 3x3 for 2500 delivered with dual 250 stacks 1:1 ration. Glad I went that route

[@MelloHubb]

If this was 3x3 I'd buy it today. Also, smith machines are GOATed for accessory work. I'm glad to see so many people using them again.

[@-Cristian_12]

The Vesta Fitness 3 in 1 is the same with 3x3 but it doesn't fold.

[@Sports_Geek]

can you explain what you mean by accessory work?

[@stephenwallace3308]

Awesome coop been waiting for someone to review this!

[@chrisraggi4265]

I like the 'live' Smith idea. The down side to Smith machines is injury due to the lack of flexibility. Either you give or the weight gives, and we both know the Smith is going to win that battle.

[@CPowell133]

7:40 - Wait, there are smith machine drop-in's for power racks now? Why have we not seen reviews on that?

[@raven-19x]

A few are out there like Bolts. Bells of Steel will release one soonish. It was at GymCon.

[@Auddy07]

Definitely want a video with some smith machine attachments for power racks.

[@SEAKPhotog]

The live Smith machine is kind of a great idea but they should have designed it so that the user could lock it out with pins or something and have it become rigid if desired.

[@SpenceHitt]

Definitely want to see that lever gym

[@grahambarr-g1w]

i have this gym decent bit of kit for smaller spaces

[@bentolmachoff]

I'm waiting on ANYONE to review the Major Fitness F35 folding rack. Seems like a steal for the price, but there isn't much in the way of it so please give folding racks some more love!

[@chuckslaten6114]

I would like to see the Rapt and Powertec reviewed

[@KenanTurkiye]

SUGGESTION: Coop when reviewing equipment with stack weights, please test it's real weight, to do that, as you would know, you just need to add plates on the end of the cable and let it hang down and see where it finds equilibrium. Thank you.

[@staceygram5555]

Or, y'know, just use a scale....

[@KenanTurkiye]

@@staceygram5555 Not something that didn't cross my mind, but doing it with the plates, adding plates and getting to the equilibrium point is I think good content for the internetzes. :)

[@staceygram5555]

@@KenanTurkiye A fish scale would be much easier and give more data, such as friction.

[@KenanTurkiye]

@@staceygram5555 Yeah that's what had crossed my mind too, and you are right. But the suspense of adding plates to see where the equilibrium is at it self is entertaining. But for a quick fact, what you have mentioned is a good idea.

[@SeanFarrell1]

$4000, 16 gauge steel... who would buy this?

[@DrDoke]

I’d rather spend $40 on your mom.

[@killerkhatiby009]

Coop, would be cool if you could do some sort of weight capacity test showing the difference between 16, 14, 12, and 11-gauge steel so people could know what may practically limit them or be unsafe for their use case! I know you've done the drop tests on the Fitness Reality rack but an updated version comparing budget/thinner steel to thicker would be really interesting to see! Especially with shorter drops simulating re-racking a heavy bar onto J-cups or something and/or bailing using spotter arms vs a full rack.

[@bmstylee]

Unless you're Ray Williams, Julius Maddox, etc there's probably not a huge concern. The original Rouge R3 was used by Louis at Westside Barbell.

[@Polentaccio]

about time! These guys have some killer stuff

[@zzClaytonRoyzz]

I got the UM2. I like it a lot . Similar to the UX1 but cheaper.

[@killerkhatiby009]

Coop, any chance you'll review the MAXUM Fitness SX2 all-in-one next!?! Seems like the best mid/high-end option on the market both in terms of value and versatility since it uses standard 3" x 3" 11-gauge steel with 5/8" holes and has unique articulating functional trainer arms, leg press plate, removable smith machine counterbalance, and built-in weight horns to augment the dual 220lb stacks. Plus it comes with so much included for the price that anything else comparably configured costs significantly more!

[@MrMadeinthe80s]

Waiting for this one too! Although todays option looks pretty nice!

[@raven-19x]

The best all-in-one rack out there now on paper and hardly any info on it.

[@killerkhatiby009]

@@raven-19x Right?!?? It needs some coverage so we can know if it's actually as good as it seems on paper.

Great review! Do one on the inspire FTX (Costco) please!

[@NovaPrincess]

I love your gym reviews. I bought my house last year, and I have lots of garage space and an extra room for my indoor and garage gym areas. This machine would be amazing for the garage. I LOVE that it folds, gotta keep space for my real mower and garden tools. ❤🏡 If you buy it, how was the installation? That's always my biggest concern with these.

[@jamesgrow70]

Hello coop I spoke into my last text and I guess I should have proof read it before I sent it I noticed a bunch of mistakes I'm not very computer savvy as you probably have noticed Nor am I very good At punctuations or spelling you have probably noticed that as wellI'm what you would call a meat head LOL.😂 But what I was trying to say before still stands hopefully you could do a In depth review on the Force USA C10 all-in-one functional trainer with sliding bench and pay particular attention to the functional trainer poly system part with the rotating polys and how they rotate out for a wider stretch on the The functionality portion I'd love to see them in use thanks coop you're the best. PS the leg extensiand chin attachment would be really cool to see in action is well with your review not the one that they have to offer Thanks again coop. I'm James Grow I go by JC I'm a long time subscriber. you're awesome!

[@themalloftheinternet5682]

Great concept having an all in one folding smith machine. I agree with others that the Smith machine needs to lock in place. If its not at least 14 gauge steel there is no way i would feel safe using it even if it were cheap, which its not.

[@TheBigfeet83]

Do the RAPT next could do with some options a little closer to home for shipping

[@steverapos3904]

I have seen it before. The folding is cool for small spaces, but the only folidng rack people actually seem to fold are the PRX ones because it is soo easy. Seems like other than maybe making room for a car in a garage the folding is not practical given it is still pretty compact unfolded. Personally, for an all in one i probably wouldn't care much about the folding.

[@samjanko8946]

Please review the RAPT Lever Gym! Thanks Coop

[@oswelds]

Solid design

[@JJ-to6qu]

For garage gyms, the floors often have a slight slope. I wonder if that would impact stability and ability to fold it.

[@flixalicious2424]

COOP DO THE BOLT FITNESS SMITH MACHINE REVIEW

[@mintyloogoblin]

Shame you didn't show the jammer arms that come with the millions of other accessories (leg press plate, cable attachments etc) as i think it is a massive usp that the jammer arms connect to the functional trainer and allow loads of additional functionality. Think these are perfect for European markets where space is at a premium.

[@ModeratorFriendly]

Would definitely be interested to know your thoughts on lever gyms.

[@balboa0621]

2 inch 16 gauge? Nope. I'm not a powerlifter, but no way I would go below 12 gauge on a rack. Bells of Steel light commercial at 60mm 12 guage is good enough for 90% of people, and 3x3 11 gauge is just an unnecessary flex, but I'm not going below 12. No chance.

[@c8h8r8i8s8]

I would love to see a budget showdown in this type of category. I was looking at the Major Fitness b-2 but not sure if how worth it would be to upgrade to a rogue or rep. Don’t think Coop has reviewed anything since they rebranded. Lots of paid “reviews” for this but I have trouble believing them.

[@mr.t7431]

Great content. You mentioned you added a smith machine to your existing equipment? Looks like a REP rack from the video? How’d you do that?

[@dannytgrantham]

when yall coming out with the sauna review?

[@lynchpin8017]

I'd be interested in a review of the Quantum Trainer Pro 2. Those and the likes of the Powertec levergyms seem to have a lot of versatility in a garage gym space, but how do they really compare against all the other options in the market today.

[@-Cristian_12]

I will prefer the Vesta Fitness 3 in 1 but you lose the folding part. I have a Rep rack with a single Athena but if I'm starting from scratch I'll probably go with the Vesta Fitness 3 in 1.

[@HwaRang777]

I'd buy one if it had more standardized parts like 11 ga 3x3 uprights with standardized holes (1" or 5/8")

[@bmstylee]

Why companies make things that aren't this standard makes non sense.

[@-Cristian_12]

Other companies make the same thing with more standard parts like the Vesta Fitness 3 in 1, it's 3x3 11 gauge.

[@bobbyhunt3009]

Brute force Honestly, no one wants 16 gauge steel in the USA unless the price is a whole lot lower, just being honest.

[@johannduplessis3467]

[@jlirving]

@12:11 such as? Unfortunately, it's a bit out of my price range at $5,500 AUD. Looking for something more around the $3,000 price point. I actually really liked the look of the Rapt Lever Gym but it's cable functions leave a lot to be desired and the promo video is like the worst thing ever lol.

Is there a similar brand /model here in the states you would be able to compare this to.? This one is nice but looking for something that maybe has free shipping?

[@Dzavala1739]

What about a functional trainer that can use the weight stack instead of weight plates in the smith machine 🤔 jk just enjoyed the beginning of the video.

[@MrMadeinthe80s]

I think they use less holes because of the thinner steel. Too many holes and I bet that would be too weak on 16awg.

Hey comments, in the market for a half rack functional trainer. Was looking at “The Dane, functional trainer” by fringe sports for a good cost $2300.00. Any other recommendations before I go down that route?

The rack section feel like a $500 amazon rack or even worse look at how far the distance between holes, definitely not the quality for a $4000 product, I would say nahhh.

[@cashandraven2369]

Neat but as usual overpriced for what it is, and then the smith machine is just a downgrade from a normal bench when it comes to versatility and proper benching imo.

Hold up, does anyone else completely disagree that smith machines are somehow safer than a proper power rack.

I must not know how to use them. They always feel "off" to me. And the heavier I go on them, the worse they feel. I always feel like I am on verge of tweaking something. Give me a regular power rack any day.

This is fact not my opinion, Smith machines are liked by the weaker people so they won't have to stabilize the weight, it is done for them. Could you imagine going into a HighSchool, College, or Pro locker room on Max Day and finding the guys lying down under a Smith machine. They would get laughed out of the room.
