Recently purchased this machine and have to say the quality is outstanding. With regard to the vertical stacking of plates I made some small spacers to go between the plates to make removing them easier. I have shoulder issues so benching and military pressing with a straight bar gives me problems, the floating movement of the arms eliminates them. Really grateful for this revue it was what encouraged me to make the purchase , which I am really happy with.

[@hybridresistance]

Awesome to hear that! Thank you for sharing.

[@briand5047]

Being able to break it down to put in the garage in warmer months and being able to not tie up the functions of the power rack are great features.

[@hybridresistance]

For me, this is a huge reason why I love the machine. I can't stress enough the ease of breakdown. I see myself having time with this set up and times when I break it down.

[@JayB-JayB]

Happy Memorial Day, Mike and America! From you friends and brothers up North.

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks Jay. Love my Canadian brothers

[@captain4825]

Great video! I find myself more and more interested in this machine the more I see it. I, as a fan of leverage gyms am always happy to see updates to these machines. I hope you make some more videos of this soon.

[@powerplanthomegym]

I was like this for over a year when I first come across this machine, and finally got one last month. It’s an incredible machine, highly recommend if your after a lever style machine that does it all.

[@hybridresistance]

I will for sure. I'm looking at doing some "follow along" content in the future either here for the Quantum Trainer website

[@loulopez554]

It's awesome that you get to try all these units out, Seems like a ton of fun.

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks Lou, it's a blessing and a curse as every workout is different so I can make sure and try everything out.

[@JayB-JayB]

The Q Trainer looks amazing! I love the fluid movements of this machine!

[@mrqualityreviewer4752]

Great review. Looks versatile I appreciate the updated review. If I had the space I would definitely consider this.

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks for the watch brother.

[@jaleesa00]

This style video was cool with the b roll of exercises and informative screen share of similar products to replicate the lever action online. 🤓 👍🏽 💪🏼 thanks for the content

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks Jaleesa. I’ll keep that in mind for future videos.

[@jaleesa00]

@@hybridresistance thank you

[@thomaskennedy7842]

I'm interested in the QT. It's just a shame the price is what it is but this is often the case with a smaller company dealing in lower production runs. It'd be cool if they could partner with a larger manufacturer to release a less expensive version the way Peppin did with REP fitness on those dumbbells.

[@andreadalex8893]

I think you can't compare this to a rack with "jammer harm" until you own it yourself and use it by doing all the possible exercises with the various jammer arms!

[@futbol1972]

Lol it looks like the same thing except the machine is huge and leverage arms on rack save space

[@powerplanthomegym]

Awesome update dude, I couldn’t agree more with this. The more I use the QTPro2 the more I love it, and initial impressions were amazing anyway. The mind is the only limiting factor with this machine I think. I’ve got so many exercises jotted down on a note pad with the set up numbers etc but the variations are endless I feel. Keep these videos flying out dude great exposure for an incredible machine 💪🏻

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Feel free to share with me some of you of your favorites sometime.

[@powerplanthomegym]

No problem. Some standouts for me are any pressing movements, flys, chest supported row, all the delt raises, shrugs, single arm hacksquat using the straight bar and a slant board, belt squat and bicep curl standing side on to machine each arm.

[@dannyrodriguez5737]

@@powerplanthomegym So as I was on the Quantum Trainer Instagram page I noticed your name there and saw that you also have an IM2000. Do you believe the QT can adequately replace the IM? I also have one and just listed it to make room for a QT.

[@powerplanthomegym]

@@dannyrodriguez5737 it’s a totally different machine, that’s why I have both. IM2000 for barbell training, smith function, also vertical leg press and the high and low pulley use. Both really versatile machines that do different things, but supplement each other so well IMO. Would I replace the QT from the IM2000? I’m not sure. It would depend on your own personal training style / goals. I have both in a single car garage, not sure how limiting your space is. What I would add though is if you’re not using the IM2000 as a half rack too and only as smith function I’d say the QT is definitely miles ahead. If you can have both I’d highly recommend doing that, they seem to be the perfect combo.

[@dannyrodriguez5737]

@@powerplanthomegym appreciate the answer, thanks!

[@Mrwatson185]

Would love for you to get some proper jammer arms and compare. Would love to one day have a proper jammer arm set up with a rack at home but know you have to get the adjustable arms to get the best use out of them. Thanks for the content!

[@kyles8391]

Same. Not only adjustable arms but articulating so they move horizontally and vertically. I'm looking at the Griffin 2.0 or the new PRx Performance Halo Arms that drop next month. I've heard REP is releasing a new design of their arms as well.

[@Mrwatson185]

@@kyles8391 prx ones look incredible. I hope rogue hops on the bandwagon and releases their own version. I am a fanboy, but also like to keep it all in the same “ecosystem” if possible

[@hybridresistance]

Thank you. I'll definitely be considering looking into that for a future video.

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks as well. Those are on the radar as well. Too much stuff coming out!

[@dannyrodriguez5737]

You've definitely sold me. Just need to sell one of my big items to make room.

[@dannyrodriguez5737]

And what are your thoughts on the QT for leg training? Would you give it a good feel for squatting? Thinking DLs probably aren't great, so maybe keep an open trap bar.

[@hybridresistance]

@@dannyrodriguez5737 It does lever bar squats and hinge patterns very well. I also really like lunging / squatting with the strain bar landmine attachment over one shoulder. I'd probably just deadlift with regular weight though. I also really like their leg curl/extension universal bench attachment, but Glen is still upgrading that a bit until it's being sold. According to Glen other attachments are also in the future. Thanks for watching !

[@outtrigger]

would you ever review the synapse ccr? it looks cool, kind of like a portable cable machine

[@hybridresistance]

That's been on the list, but it's something I'd have to pay for and it honestly is not something that I really see myself using. I have nothing against buying stuff for review, but a main point that needs to be hit is if I see value in it personally given the high price tag. All that said, there's a good chance I could cover it this summer.

[@johnpeterman2177]

I would want to buy this with the attachment for the lat pulldown/triceps and the leg attachment you have to complement it. I have tried contacting the company, but they have yet to respond. Do you have any idea what these attachments would cost? If they are expensive, having a complete gym will add a lot of cost. When you add the weight plates for around $800 and the attachments, you could be into this for closer to $5000. I was ready to pull the trigger on this, especially since I can set this up on my patio, but I will wait and see when the attachments are available and what they cost. As always, excellent video demonstration and honest opinions on all your videos.

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks John. I assume if they didn't get back to you it will just be a matter of time. But I assume within the next month or two max those attachments will be ready. He could have started selling what I'm using, but he wanted to hold off until he perfected the attachments. They know the cost is getting up there as well as people expect these attachments. I have a feeling the lat attachment will be very affordable possibly included and the leg/curl will be something

[@buddyryan875]

Wow I can't believe the powertec is gone! I thought for sure that would stick around. This Quantum Trainer must be good!

[@hybridresistance]

It's still here, just broken down a bit. Not really sure what to do with it honestly. It is not a bad machine, the QT just does (what I like) better.

[@andreadalex8893]

Quantum i think doesn t have low pulley...Powertech and Triplex Atx have also low pulley....a lot of good and important exercise for body Building,!!!

[@powerplanthomegym]

@@andreadalex8893 having tried most of the lever gyms this feels totally different to them, also these arms are way more versatile. A lower pulley can be set up DIY style for cheap or a dedicated machine with an adjustable pulley is relatively low cost and add loads more functionality. I really rate the powertec levergym and even more so the ATX triplex but this machine is a totally different beast.

[@dereklopez4238]

Can you tell me what leg extension leg curl attachment you are using in the video. Where can I buy it?

[@hybridresistance]

That's actually from Quantum Trainer. The owner was going to release the model I have, but he's making a few minor improvement tweaks. So it will be available soon.

[@meisdetermined]

You said it is in your top five, I am curious what all is in that category? :)

[@hybridresistance]

That's actually going to be an upcoming video, so stay tuned for that. Always hard though as things come in and bump stuff out.

[@joseppebatman]

Can you get a deep stretch for pressing movements? Seems like the Arms stop you from going deep

[@hybridresistance]

I kind of depends on the exercise, but that could be argued as a limiting factor of the machine is the lack to be able to adjust the arms. I did ask the owner and he said there was a good reason for this based on the design as well as making it sturdy.

[@kyles8391]

Also interested in jammer arms review. When you were at Home Gym Con did you see the new Halo Arms that PRx Performance were showcasing that drop next month? Unlike the Vendetta arms where you need adapters, the Halo arms have built in articulation and other new designs such as the Griffin 2.0.

[@UberAugie]

I'm waiting on those Halo arms and to see how they stack against Griffin 2.0. I like the price point on Griffin but Halo has more options.

[@kyles8391]

@@UberAugie yeah guessing those Halo arms will be at a different pricing tier since they've got more options, more hole spacing, greater range of motion, and you can lock in the articulation at different angles. That's important for me since I plan to leave the arms on full-time and don't want them to get in the way of my pulleys.

[@hybridresistance]

I did seem them, but to be honest a lot of the rack attachments I just wasn't into for some reasons I might be saving for another video. In retrospect, I wish I did look closely at them to compare to the QT for you guys. I will do this though in a future video, just let me know what particular one you want to see.

[@conqueringbarbell2101]

Griffin Fitness has something similar and available now

[@kyles8391]

@@conqueringbarbell2101 Griffin 2.0 is $900 but Crandall has similar arms at $750. The PRx are overblown at $1,500.

[@sobutterysmooth]

People who think this is overpriced have never bought actual commercially graded homegym equipment… I think what you get for the value is well worth the space.

[@hybridresistance]

I like buying cheap as next much as the next person with certain things so I empathize what they're saying. But I agree if you had this side by side some of the cheaper "home gym products", you'd know instantly what the increase in price is. Not to mention when you start to learn the cost of some of these items going for ~1k.

[@dionisioramirez6706]

I would love to get the quantum but that price is out of this world. Hopefully another company comes out with a cheaper alternative.

[@protectandserve7385]

Kinda off topic but when is this Bodylastics band machine going to be released? Why in the world did they prematurely advertise it the way they did? They literally had a count down-about a year ago. SMH.

[@hybridresistance]

I got a good feeling you may be hearing some news about the machine this week....
