A variable resistance rope pulley that attaches to a squat rack. Yowza.
The Torque Fitness Endless Rope Trainer is designed to simulate rope climbs and rope pulls, but uses variable resistance and requires hardly any setup time. For a home gym, the ability to quickly set it up and get to your workout is essential to it actually getting used.
There's a lot to like about the Endless Rope Trainer, but the downfall as we discuss is the price. For many, it will be simply too expensive. Let's review...

I was really looking for ward to this but the price is just insane for some rope. I think I can speak for all of us here. You can get 500lbs + of plates for that

[@GarageGymReviews]

I'm the exact same way. I want it to be less so bad because it is REALLY good. It's just so costly.

[@Erick925]

@Houseof theBear He’s not a sellout at all! I actually appreciate him showing varying types of equipment regardless of price (cheap/expensive). Even if you can’t afford it, someone else can, and now there’s a video to help them decide if they should buy. For me personally, I find these videos entertaining. It’s nice to know what’s out there.

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

Before the pandemic u could of bought a power rack with high low pulley system with a 100kg weight stack and bench for 600 lol

[@BrandonSchwartz1]

@Houseof theBear his job is reviewing equipment. Should he not review things if they’re expensive?

[@boneman8823]

@Houseof theBear he’s reviewing garage gym equipment. This isn’t something a commercial gym would have. Read the name of the channel...

[@Joe___R]

The way to build the best home gym on a budget is to build a popular youtube channel about gym equipment reviewing & the top brands will send you tons of free equipment.

[@MajesticSkywhale]

me: "this looks like it's gonna be expensive, probably over 200....wtf, nope im out"

[@callumgill7019]

Lol these are going to be wayyyyy more than 200

[@TheModernwarfare96]

Seems like a nice piece, but for basically $1200 after shipping and taxes, that's kinda steep.

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

So confusing Americans add taxes on after

[@TheModernwarfare96]

@@girlsdrinkfeck Unfortunately yeah, and it varies state by state which just adds to the confusion. What's worse is some purchase categories have the taxes baked into the price due to specialized taxes on things like movie theatres, skating rinks, etc that STILL have sales tax on top.

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

@@TheModernwarfare96 oh in UK taxes have to be on the shelf price label by law. So what u see is what u pay

[@priscillagonzalez6732]

One of the best advantages of being a New Hampshire resident...no sales tax. But shipping is damn expensive.

Lmfaoo, my god. 1200-1300 shipped with taxes. There goes the market for it.

[@kevinmoran4164]

Free shipping! Lol

Pretty sure this is basically for physio therapists and elderly people young fit people can just buy a rope for like 30 bucks

[@kevins5166]

Agreed, ridiculous. They got greedy!

[@davidbuche]

Buy a used commercial Marpos rope trainer for 300-500

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

@@kevinmoran4164 makes me laugh when free shipping is a privilege in America. UK is so compact most things has free delivery if u spend like over 50 quid

[@MBenson]

Saw a Torque ad for this yesterday and was hoping for a review soon. Thanks Coop. Right on time.

[@ignitefitnessapex1272]

We just put this on one of our Rogue racks - for the horizontal pulling we use the Rogue monster plate storage pin with Acetal covering and it is super smooth (and I assume will be less wear and tear on the rope over time). Thanks for the video - it saved me lots of time with the installation.

[@adammercer3310]

Having this attached to a trolley system on an upright would be awesome and make it even more versatile

[@GarageGymReviews]

Yep, that would be awesome. May try and figure something out.

[@jmplese]

I've seen other reviewers who have experienced the same problem with the rope separation and quick fraying. If they fix the rope quality issue, I'm in.

[@dv0273497]

Coop: "Budget home gym owner, absolutely avoid this" Titan Fitness: **HOLD MY BEER**

[@edwin2105zz]

🤣🤣🤣

[@victoriao9958]

This looks awesome. But ohhhh that price tag :( Would be awesome if you could compare some more budget friendly alternatives

[@manuelgaertner2258]

There is a german rope Trainer. Revvll Pro. 700 eur

[@mrgoetz3424]

We have one at the gym at my Uni gym. Older though, it’s on a spool that has resistance that increases as you pull harder

[@kpath74]

Coop is the the Jay Leno of function equipment.

[@NickSiekierski]

Just ordered one, they are out of stock at the moment but if you add your name to the notification list a sales rep might reach out to you with a discount. I also learned that the rope is not tied to the unit's functionality so you could replace it with another one of the same diameter if it's outside of the 1-year warrant. Just not sure how easy it is to find a rope like that which is a full circle and not a "battle rope". In any case I'm pumped, if I wear out the rope in the first year I'll know I'm using it to its full potential.

[@Lachino-y3f]

I want that so bad. We use to have one at our local gym. They’re so good. I can always feel it

[@PaceWC]

Mentioned this on the IG post. For the price you can pick up the tank and the wall hanger and still have money leftover for chipotle😂

[@fatboitino2]

And still have a nice savings after

[@DanesinTexas]

I will absolutely get this piece of equipment...if I had a rack...and if my boss agrees to double my salary!

[@Valente_Quintero]

Awesome video Coop, I was just looking at this yesterday and was wondering if anyone had experience with it. Glad I didn’t post this in the group before checking my notifications

[@tbx59]

I park 2 cars in my garage, so something like this mounted to the wall would be great, but not at that price.

[@Rich_Lahman]

If the resistance can be expanded up to 300/400 lbs and finely tuned, then I can see a potential for endless rope climbs without having to leave the ground no more than 2 or 3 feet off the ground.

[@shane7350]

If it was in the $300-$400 range that would be pretty decent. But at the price that it is...GTFO here. It's a rope lol.

[@MBATheGreat]

Pshh I’d pay no more than $150-200

[@manuelgaertner2258]

There is s german rope Trainer. Revvll pro. Must be 600-700 eur

[@BobTheCoach.]

How does this compare to the cheaper Revell rope trainer? half the price for starters

[@VegaNCalleDQuesT]

I’m watching this years later because I’m shopping through a sale and saw one of these bad boys - so I came to this vid to see what it did. $1,600 CAD! So after a few years they clearly haven’t sensibly priced it. Thanks for the vid - I’ll be grabbing one if I come across it in a garage sale decades from now

[@easye8097]

Really Coop!? Make me fall in love with it and then just break my heart with that insane price. 😔

[@stevehs4287]

Anyone know where to get those 5/8 to 1 inch adaptors from that were shown in this vid? Thanks in advance!

[@FitnessNews24]

Imagine using this same idea but for a cable pulley instead, mount 2 on each side of rack for flyes etc THEN we can consider the $1300 price point 👏👏👏

Great question. I wonder if a shaft adapter could be used....🤷🏾‍♂️ they have plenty on amazon.

Ya if we could get a link to that it would be awesome!!

[@mpnofi]

@@dustintoll777 the link in description!? Where is it 🤣

[@andrewdeandrade2142]

I would love it if this supported other rope sizes. I sail a lot and being able to work with a smaller diameter line comparable to what you'd find on a sailboat would be awesome.

[@ezratay1]

Awesome Coop. I've purchased three items because I saw it on your channel. I'll wait to buy this.

[@inkironmojo775]

this was absolutely GREAT thanks...Yep I’ve ordered one in Australia, excited... Home gym doesn’t have the height for actual rope climb. Price .. sure its steep.. but Torque’s quality is outstanding.. it’s definitely gold standard equipment .. I also have the M4 tank so I know this will last probably a couple of life times

[@BasementOps]

Bro I can just grab my mother in law by the hand and drag her around the garage gym for freel, I will definitely get a better workout than this .

[@02phenom]

Any advice on this torque rope trainer vs Marpo X8? Any feedback would be great

[@YOSMiroslav]

This really looks like epic gear to add to the home gym. But at this price is way up in space. I would go for it at 350 USD, but the gap is too wide for the manufacturer to even consider if there is any point to drop the price even a bit because it would not make any difference for the mass buyer. Still a great contraption!

[@Ice_Box_Gym]

I know Titan has a rack mounted one that hasn't been in stock for an eternity

[@AlbertFischer]

If you're on Titan's e-mail list they send an update everyday on what is back in stock. If this gets enough buzz it is only a matter of time. $1200 bucks is a lot of cash for this. I'd be patient and wait for Titan to restock.

[@GarageGymReviews]

The problem is it isn't variable resistance. I've used it and others and it's okay, but completely different in use.

[@AlbertFischer]

@@GarageGymReviews Could be true but then again if there is enough buzz Titan may come out with a new version sometime in the next year or so at a lower price point and "always free shipping." It looks like a cool toy to add to my gym but a figure I can be a bit patient and give Titan a year to come up with something and save myself somewhere between $600 and $800. Any way around I still love the review channel. Keep up the good work Coop.

[@noahblevins9569]

@@GarageGymReviews You have a point, but using magnetic resistance they should be able to use a knob and have at least 10 to 20 resistance levels. 4 isnt much variety.

[@eacapecod]

@@noahblevins9569 agreed, except using magnetic resistance and a knob, they could have infinite resistance between A and Z. Don't understand 4 at all.

[@Rocket4ce]

Excellent review! Wow so glad you have a review on this. I got the notice about it the other day and was really intrigued.

[@jarodtincher2933]

Coop I love you’re videos but can you start doing more reviews on stuff that’s actually home gym friendly and maybe more DIY projects. I read the comments on every post and everyone always seems to say it too expensive and most of us can’t afford gym equipment that cost over 1,000$

[@josephh5085]

How did you prop up your lever arms like that? Do you have a video showing how you did that?

[@andyobrien3612]

Think it's outside most garage gym owners budgets. Could get a new rack for the cost.

[@andresmaldonado7356]

Literally listed the pros and cons I had in my head. Been trying to find an endless rope pulling machine at a better price, hard to find these at quality and I enjoy rope pulling. Have you found another one more economical?

[@ketoketoketo]

I've always been interested in one of these. Thanks Coop.

[@matthewangeloni2764]

Does this have to be mounted to the very top of a rack? I have low ceilings and would be able to do many of the exercises you demonstrated from a seated position, but I don't have much clearance overhead.

[@davidhicks3540]

What is the height of the storage upright you have it on in the video? How much space do you need between top of upright and roof?

[@mikealberto504]

I want you try the gladiator wall drum pulley and see how…. It’s cheaper

[@CoachVikingVaughn]

I love my Torque M4 tank, and it was worth every penny at $1600 for its versatility; using it as a rope pulley as well. While I love the idea for this . . . ya I agree for $1200 not worth it.

[@chrisdonnell2575]

But size vs versatility makes it better. I had that same tank and it took up a lot of garage space. This virtually none as it hangs from rack. Great for finishers biceps, triceps, back and keeping heart rate up without leaving gym.

I hope a company starts selling adapter sleeves for 5/8 hardward to be used on 1" racks instead of just including them in some products. I'd be nice to have both types of racks with only 1 set of accessories.

[@Jackedhobbit]

You called it. I was really excited for this piece of equipment but the price tag killed it. If they could cut that number in half or if a competitor could I’d be all for it. But that price could buy so many other things for my gym.

[@drummerzip]

wonder if they could make the resistance mechanism cross compatible between the tank and endless rope. Bundle the two for ~1400.

[@Gunny559]

I just finished mounting this on my Rogue Monster LITE. I did however have to drill one hole for the plate to line up. IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Their mounting plate only lines up for the MONSTER SERIES or like SORINEX (anything with the 1inch hardware spacing.

Carnival Mardi Gras gym has this or something essentially the same. I liked it. Did some sets of like 50 fast pulls, and it got really tiring.

[@scottrivkin3307]

As far as tge bracket is concerned and the way the machine attaches...they should have made tge bracket with rails so the machine can just slide right in once the bracket it mounted...either from the side or from top to bottom and have it lock it so it can be easily moved...and they can sell additional brackets so its even more portable around your gym
