I got my MAXPRO a couple of weeks ago, and so far it has been pretty good. The machine works fine, it functions correctly as a cable weight system. However, the numbers on the dials are meaningless to me. I wish I had an idea of the weight that I was lifting. I can see a lot of use in this machine as I haven't even hit the halfway mark on the dials. There is a lot of upward potential for me to continue to grow my strength.
However, the app is extremely buggy. The videos don't cast to my TV properly, and in the embedded youtube videos, you can't skip or open the video externally, all the controls are broken.
It would also be nice if I could link this up to other smart training apps that I have been using like Fitbod that track my progress over time. This machine is pretty unique, which is cool, but Fitbod doesn't know which exercises I can and can't do with it.
I love the concept, but the technology and execution could be much better. MAXPRO, if you need a senior software engineering manager to help with the app, let me know lol
I've been lifting weights for almost 40 years. So I've engaged pretty much every aspect of the weightlifting universe. Ive been a powerlifter, body builder (natural), and athlete. There's many, many facets to that time, too much to describe here. So, I was interested when I saw thile Maxpro. Like others you investigate a bit, here the good, and the other skeptical. I received mine and thought I would engage it exactly as the instructions said. I didn't get distracted with the small tugs because it says it will get smoother with a little time. I couldn't believe what I could do with this. It is truly an entire gym. There's so much room for creative exercising here! I was getting a great pump. And truly, the eccentric aspect, or lack of it, is a blessing. The UCLA study is on to something here. I've torn muscles on the eccentric phase of exercising. So to move the weight versus carry it down, is to me just as generative and more healthy. As well, I did some dumbell presses the other day and the explosive aspect of moving them felt like never before for me, it was easier! So, I've had mine for a month and am never going back to weights. I can do hack squats, bench press, cable crossovers, pull downs, and the list goes on. Even a version of dips! It's a move I created that I haven't seen demonstrated with this yet and let me say, it works the pecs. What's awesome as well is the portability of this device. I truly feel this is a workout Renaissance for me. To have it all here. I ordered a second one to have r as a spare.
I can see the results already. My body is responding in so many ways. At 6'1 and 220lbs,my muscles needed to be challenged. This is it for me. I wish I would have invested in this company from the beginning, because now, I feel like a die hard spokesperson for this workout system.
This system, is IT!!
I used my Max Pro with my Max Pro bench and two sets of power blocks. That’s my total gym.
In short, Max Pro is a good complement to any gym in my opinion. Hope this helps.
Love the product and the versatility! Wish that the bench would have the option to be inclined or flat.
So far I am pleased with the product. It’s giving me the workouts I had hoped for and plan on buying the wall rail to give me more options. Adjusting the tension is easy but based on numbers and not lbs which will take some time to memorize because the only way to know how many lbs is through the app. My only frown is how a lot of workouts are blocked behind a subscription and while I can understand that, I am not finding a lot of workouts that show me what I can do with just the unit and not the other options. There is a lot of flexibility on workouts and I will figure out my own with time, I just wish there were more workouts available to me by just buying the unit. Overall again 4 stars because I am not disappointed, it’s a shame companies feel like they need to try and force people into subscriptions.
So far, so good, serves a great need in my travels, the break-in is a bit shaky, but overall, I'm very happy.
I've had my MAXPRO for years, since I seen it on Shark Tank. I've always enjoyed my workouts with the unit, but the equipment in the 4-pack has taken my workout to another level. I had been eyeing the jumpbelt for awhile, and then when I decided that I also wanted to do some suspension exercises, I bought the 4-pack. One of the best investments I've made this year.
This is all you need for an effective in house workout. Fantastic machine!
This small piece of equipment is the real deal. I am super sore but quite happy with my purchase.
Definitely can get the job done as a portable fitness device. I really wish the platform were bigger though because I don’t always like having the heel lift and there are exercises I do that do not include a heel drive.
I’ve only had it for 2 weeks but I love the portability of it and the levels of resistance from such a small device. I’m over 60 and I feel every fitness senior should own one
I have been using it for a month now, I work at the desk and am fixated on my computer. MaxPro sits right by my desk, I do 8-10 exercises every day, it is awesome. I feel better, much stronger, this little machine works wonders. I especially like how you can switch levels so easy (and a little beep when sides align :-) ) and how high resistance can be from such a small machine.
I love the bench, it works really well and it's not too heavy in moments where you want to move things around. I will say my only dislike is the fact that it's not adjustable. I know on sharktank you guys had one that was adjustable so, just wondering when something like that would be available. Love the product, works really well and I will definitely be taking it on my travels
Works great! A little heavier then I thought it would be, but it is built very well.
The slimline wall track is a must have! It is so versatile with the max pro unit. Super easy to install on wall - I absolutely love it.
Love how versatile it is
Very versatile and easy to use. I keep it in my home office to get a quick work in at the end of the day. My only issue is that I need two more sets of door mounts so I can easily go to different routines without messing with the straps. I I had wall space I would get the wall mounting kit, but I don’t.
So please offer the extra door mount kits to purchase.
This is what is advertised and I'm happy when it finally arrived. The pulley system seems well enough and the manual does talk about a break in period and that resistance between the left and ride can vary between each other but 1-2lbs, but these are the two biggest issues i have right now.
1. left pull clunks as i pull it in the same spot. Yes i can pull very fast and it wont but thats not the type of work out id be doing most of the time. So slow or medium pulls always has you feel this clunk as the cable rolls over something, i cant tell. it makes a solid thump on the floor as well. Right side does not do this the same and is much smoother.
2. the left resistance pulley has to be around 3-3.5 to feel similar resistance to the right which is set to 1. Once figured out where i need to be its easy as ill probably never max out on this thing. just more then suggested in the manual plus the issue stated above. Im starting to wonder if this left side system isn't built as clean as the right side.
all in all, this thing works, its compact and you can mount it to a door. its exactly what im looking for minus some of the (hopefully) breaking period issues.
the app on the phone is pretty nice touch. I havent used it or the workout videos extensively but getting some stats back while you work out and being able to pair with the apple watch is very handy.
Thanks
