Easy to replace my cables following the video instructions. Took about 30 mins total. Works great - fixed my max pro investment from 2020! New cables are smooth - original ones had some “skipping” before one broke.
The MAXPRO is an invaluable workout tool and there is really nothing else like it on the market. Some people online list the lack of eccentric weight on the MAXPRO as a con, but it is a FEATURE. You will not miss the eccentric. Because let me put it to you this way: you never need a spotter. Why? Because the moment you stop your concentric motion, the weight is GONE. So lets say you do a bench press, you press up to the top of your rep, and the weight is instantly gone at the top; no eccentric pressure, no risk of injury, just reset and go again. It takes all the fear of injury out of the bench press! If you are in danger of bailing on the rep, the weight is gone the moment you stop trying. And as a 6'8" man, the MAXPRO ad where Shaq puts the handles clear above his head for a shoulder press sold me; if it works for a giant like Shaq, it works for a very tall man like myself. This was a big hindrance on me whenever trying the same exercise with exercise bands with handles; they just don't make bands for that exercise for tall men. With the MAXPRO, you can do a weighted squat straight into a shoulder press, or a Romanian deadlift, straight into bicep curls to shoulder press in one smooth motion. You can get creative and attach it in odd places with the door mount, and I even put the straps on my wrist to get good resistance while boxing. I'm really impressed with MAXPRO overall, thanks so much to Nezar and the Sharks for bringing this incredible device to the world.
Love the product so far, although I haven’t really used it a whole lot yet. I’m looking forward to using it steadily from here on out. I love the convenience of it and storage is great with it folding up into just about nothing. The folding bench is a bit pricey but works great with it and also folds up nicely for storage. I keep them right in the living room so I don’t have a good excuse to not use them. I haven’t gotten sore from a workout yet, even though I’ve pushed pretty hard for a couple workouts. I have yet to see if the results are as good with only a concentric workout.
i truly get a great workout with tge maxpro system. ineeses to send it in for a tune up to keep it on its Best working condition. not only did i get back to its original form, the turnaround was quick and precise. Well worth it . thanks again!
I needed something that was small but I could do all my lifts with. I have a small space in my house and I love that this folds out and has all the accessories needed. Only thing I wish it had was a chart with the weight the levels represent. I know they have it in the app but I am not much of an app person.
Get it, you wont regret it, best work out tool out there!
Cables don’t feel secure. Quality not as expected - especially given the price you are paying.
When it comes to strength training, I’ve spent many, many years enjoying equipment at both gyms (big ones, not-so-big ones, ones where you’re not supposed to grunt 🫢) and at home. For a while I had a great bench and power cage set up, but then moved cross country and had to sell it. Post-covid I landed in a place so rural there’s no gym within an hour’s drive, and since I’m renting I’ve been hesitant to once again invest in more heavy/bulky equipment that I may not be able to take with me when I go.
Enter MaxPro. I thought about it for a looooong time before deciding to purchase this system. I kind of love having barbells/dumbbells in my hands and wasn’t sure this would compare. However, I’ve been using it regularly for a few weeks now and am really happy with the functionality of this system. I bought the whole package - MaxPro, bench, wall track and suspension handles - and if you’re trying to duplicate an actual gym experience I would highly recommend doing the same. They work very well together and you can mix up your workout in lots of different ways. There IS a bit of a learning curve for certain exercises (squats, bench press) if you’re accustomed to barbells, and I’m still working through that.
I was a little concerned about the concentric-only aspect of the MaxPro, and only time will tell whether or not that has an effect on hypertrophy. I’m hoping that adding in some sets with the suspension handles will provide a little eccentric stimulus. What’s nice is that the wall track provides plenty of stability for suspension, and you can quickly raise/lower the straps as needed.
My one complaint (and why I took one star off the rating) is that at higher weight settings the cables are indeed stiff and janky. That’s supposed to get better with use/time - hopefully this will be the case. If they were smooth this system would be perfect. In the meantime, I’m having a lot of fun with my MaxPro and am happy to have equipment that’s compact yet powerful and that I can take with me when I move - even if it’s back across the country.
Easy to workout using the maxpro device. Workout are better focused and the device enables better position and form during workout. The dial and the resistance force seem a little off, or maybe I'm in better shape than I thought. Will keep working with the scale and resistance to determine if it feels right.
The bench is sturdy but I got it primarily for bench presses and it is so awkward. At the gym there is a rack to take the bar off, but with this system you have to get the weight from the floor and then do the lift. It never crossed my mind, especially since the exercise videos show the lift already in progress :) I've taken to using the bench only for leg extensions and hammy curls.
This wall track makes the system so much more "gym" like. It even convinced my gym rat husband that it would be a good substitute if you couldn't get to the gym (his closed for electric problems for a few days). I feel like this track opens up a whole new playbook of exercise possibilities.
I was looking for something compact but not resistance bands. I'm not a bodybuilder just a woman looking to tone up in the privacy of my home. I'm not worried about how much I can lift, not in a contest, so the resistance numbers don't bother me. Although there is a chart that will give you an idea of what you would be lifting. There was some jerk to the pull when I first got it and when I use a heavier setting then before but that was listed in the manual. I would definitely buy this again and recommend it to anyone looking for something they can use in a guest room on the second floor.
Super happy overall that it got my husband working out again. The versatility is great between the bench and the wall track.
Con: the. Numbers for weight adjustment are odd. Not in pound or kilograms. We had to make a little graph to paste on the wall next to where we work for reference of resistance in lbs.
It gets the job done but with some drawbacks. I bought this because getting to the gym has been difficult so this is doing what I need it to for now. Like many other reviews have stated, there is no eccentric contraction on this things. You can create it a little bit with some control but it is definitely lacking.
And I’m not sure if this complaints is just the one I got, but it uses a cable tension system that is adjusted with a knob dial. The tension is different on both sides so for example, I’ll have one side set to 15 and I have to turn the other one down to about between 13.5-14 just for it to feel even. It is not is obvious with lighter weight, but the heavier you go the wider that weight discrepancy becomes.
This thing is a game changer for anyone that wants a home gym without spending thousands of dollars on equipment.
The bench has been a great addition to the Maxpro and really expands the types of exercises you can do! It's lightweight and folds up nicely to store. Must have in my opinion!
Pretty great and convenient product. Works as advertised, can do so many types of exercises, and its portable.
Honestly, I do not have anything bad to say. I love the idea that this is portable with great versatility. You must get the elite package to fully enjoy Max Pro! I’ve had it for a month now and my workouts have been phenomenal following the workouts in the Max Pro App. I am grateful to come across a product that does not break the bank and does not take tons of space in my basement. Thank you!
The bag works great if you travel with your MaxPro at all. Plenty of space for everything and some extra for a few additional accessories that I use. Definitely recommend.
The bench is very well made, but as others have mentioned, it does lack in functionality in places. Cotter pins would have been much handier for the legs when it comes to wanting to put it away for storage. Also, it would have been nice if it had the ability to become an incline bench, although I understand that would definitely add some cost.
Love this product I’m truck driver take it everywhere I go
Configurable partitions make this bag. Good stitching, zipper looks like it will last. The MaxPro equipment fits nicely. The partitions can be configured to about any shape. It reminds me of my high end camera bag.
