What They Don't Want Me to Tell You | New Freak Athlete Hyper Pro 2025

[@NoFate247]

Was I too hard on the Freak Athlete Hyper Pro or tough but fair? Freak Athlete Nordic Hyper PRO: bit.ly/4b2sp0N

[@jared.freedom.gym2021]

Tough but fair is my vote

[@DerickCross34]

Not at all. I am probably more likely to buy in than I was before the vid. Good to know about pricing and I was wondering about the reverse hyper with it tilted down too. Great review thanks!

[@TheCarterHomeGym]

The way the video started, I thought you were about to crush it, but it turned out to be an overall positive review.

[@Adi-sl9zr]

For me, it ended when I saw your affiliate link.

[@NoFate247]

You don't have to use it....do you think the video was bias?

[@babygiantbarbell1014]

Love to see how eager they are to continue to improve their product.

[@NoFate247]

Yeah it really didn't need an upgrade but it says alot about them

[@TheCarterHomeGym]

The new GHD attachment is a GAME CHANGER! Love it! It's a true fold away GHD now.

[@NoFate247]

It's definitely a fantastic piece of engineering. How often do you use yours

[@ronburgandy7571]

Walking on the treadmill backwards while Checkinggg in!

[@NoFate247]

I love that exercise! Just super set that with calves and man on man, you feel those DOMs

[@weightsnwaves]

I appreciate FA keeping the GHD pad separate. I've never used a GHD, so Im unsure if I would utilize that feature.

[@NoFate247]

That's true, if you never used it then it'd be a waste of $170. I do like the whole "choose your own adventure" on pricing, allowing you to pick the pieces that you'll actually use

[@Ice_Box_Gym]

Eric here. Checking in. I kind of wish I would have went this route. But it came out like 2 weeks after I ordered the tib bar guy NBE. And that took 22 weeks to get to me, and like 2 weeks after I got it they released a version 2 😢. Ugh

[@NoFate247]

UGH! Not a massive fan of the TBG's first version. At least with my testing

[@Ice_Box_Gym]

@@NoFate247 yeah, i mean its fine. But could be so much more

[@HunterMalin-v4u]

I love the Freak Athlete. So good for a bunch of exercises. The stability is reflected by my ability to do side bends with the machine in a 45 degree angle … all my weight on one side of the machine … and the machine does not rock, wobble, tip or show any weakness in structure or stability. Flat back extensions with the GHD pad are so good. The leg developer is excellent. Given what this machine can do and its stability, I think the price is reasonable.

[@NoFate247]

Exactly! If you want a premium product you've got to pay a premium price

[@TheKurtlocker]

Probably my favorite review you've done.

[@NoFate247]

With 1700 videos under my belt that is high praise, thank you. Hope to keep the quality this high

[@tbissonnette1835]

I agree the GHD should be included in the already outrageous base price. I wish they would offer the branding color in 2 choices white or orange. I'm picky on the aesthetic of my home gym.

[@NoFate247]

Yeah definitely should be included

[@KyleNelson-hp8td]

I would definitely get the leg developer. It’s a game changer

[@NoFate247]

It just showed up today!

[@pepetelacrosse]

I will not follow your channel because Im not really into Gym equipment, however, this might be the must fun video review, very well done, I really like it! thanks! keep up with the good work!

[@wb5mgr]

It’s not perfect, but try putting a set of ankle weights on when doing the reverse hypers. Gives you that weight out at the end of your leg.

[@NoFate247]

Ohhh I need to try that

[@Alex-bz3hs]

I think one of your best videos yet!

i don’t understand where you were rough on them? quite a positive video if you ask me. you just explained common sense. Great review!

[@joecowan3719]

You were tough but very fair in this review. It is impossible for a small footprint piece to have you perform 20 different movements and have them all feel perfect.

[@NoFate247]

I try to be tough but fair on all my videos but sometimes my bias comes through too much.

[@joecowan3719]

@@NoFate247 Nahhhh, don't be too tough on yourself... by pointing out areas of improvement that is why the community is blessed with V2, V3 etc. It stinks when a product has known areas for improvement and ones that improve the experience and V2 never happens.

[@LukesGarageGym]

wish I had this bad boy. Pretty cool with most of what it can do.

[@NoFate247]

Yeah it can definitely do a lot well

[@GayleGrantDocGrant]

Don't do a lot of dumbbell chest work so with that said, can I replace my adjustable gym bench with this HyperPro? Thoughts? Thanks!

[@NoFate247]

No, it's not designed for that and it's too wide to be able to bench on it even if you could. Sorry

[@bwp81]

I've got the older version (w/color knobs) - might add the leg developer down the line.

[@NoFate247]

Yeah old Version is great

[@BrimhallBarbellClub]

This was a good one! Thicker, bigger, and denser! 💥

[@NoFate247]

😂 glad you caught that

[@ManOfEthnicity]

As often as I see people say you can do GHD sit ups on this thing I've yet to see a single person actually do them in the form people would. Let's see some sets of 10+ at a moderate pace, everyone just does a couple of super slow reps and calls it a day on testing.

[@NoFate247]

If I was Matt Fraiser i'd probably be doing them faster. Unfortunately, that's the speed I can go to and not snap up my back. But you bring up a solid point, going faster would put more momentum into the nordic hyper

[@squatrx]

$170 for a ghd PAD.... Not to be totally "good old days" about it, but I bought a cheapo GHD on New York Barbells 20 years ago for $100. It's not the best GHD, but it still does the job. The cost of the same GHD now is no less than $400.

[@NoFate247]

if all you want is a GHD machine and u have the space, you def. can save money buy going fb marketplace

[@squatrx]

@@NoFate247 Rare to find a used ghd on FB marketplace around here (may be different elsewhere idk). Prices since the pandemic have mellowed A LITTLE, but yeah, still high... Not dogging this piece necessarily, but if I had an extra grand sitting around, I might go w. a Vulcan Krakken instead

[@dannyrodriguez5737]

Would something like Monkey Feet help with the reverse hyper function?

[@NoFate247]

It probably would but not sure if you could connect 2 at a time or if that'd be super difficult

I would only want this for lower back stretches. If someone else in the house can get down with this doing other tasks…WIN🔥

[@NoFate247]

Yeah you definitely need to use this for a few exercises to make it worth it

[@shiwakuseven5859]

Excellent video. After watching your video, I've decided not to buy the Freak Athlete Hyper Pro. I can't see the logic of paying a premium price for an innovative "Swiss Army Knife-like" exercise apparatus so I have a better way to do rarely-done exercises. There are far less expensive ways to develop the glutes, hamstrings, hips, lower back, and abs, and I already own the exercise equipment I need to do them. This includes a power rack, Olympic barbell, dumbbells, kettlebells, Squat Max MD, Powertec Leverage Squat Machine, Roman chair, Freak Athlete Mini-Pro, Suples Bulgarian Bag, a pull-up tower, and Life Pro Glute Blast/Hip Thrust Machine. For instance, an excellent way to develop the abdominal muscles is by doing leg raises and crunches on a flat bench and frog kicks while suspended on a pull-up bar.

[@NoFate247]

It definitely isn't for everyone. Do you make up your own programing

[@shiwakuseven5859]

@@NoFate247 Yes, and I focus on rotating exercises, the way I do exercises, using different exercise tools, and strength training methods to avoid muscular accommodation, which is when muscular endurance, size, and strength gains stop if you do the same exercises with the same exercise tools with the same load and using the same strength training methods too long. The Freak Athlete Hyper Pro is versatile, but there are far cheaper ways to get a total body workout, which includes just using a kettlebell. Tommy Kono, America's Greatest Olympic Weightlifter of All-Time", won 2 Olympic Gold Medals in weightlifting, set 26 world weightlifting records, and 4 Mr. Universe titles with just an Olympic barbell, weight plates, and squat stands, even though he advocated hanging exercises, like frog kicks, from a pull-bar.
