I was looking for a good workout and I didn’t want a basement full of dumbbells and this fit the bill . Combined with the app and you have a fantastic workout experience. I highly recommend this piece of equipment!
I picked up a SmartConnect base unit, with no accessories, which is a great value for how versatile it is. The door-mount option works okay, on a 36" door minimum. Without the accessories, it's a good place to start in terms of having a wide range of workout options from a device that takes effectively no space whatsoever when not in use. The travel bag is sturdy, and I can absolutely imagine using this to keep up consistent workout routines while on the road. Without the wall-mount and bench accessories, it's limited in what you can do, but the base model is also very affordable, so it's a tradeoff.
I bought mine as a discounted open-box, which worked out great: it had all of the basics, including the lift bar, the split handles, and the wrist/ankle straps, and the door mount system, all in very good condition. That definitely added even more value.
Mine came visibily used, paint chipped and the foam torn on the right food pad. The cables look really worn right at the beginning of the pull. We will see if I get a year out of these! It's definitely a nice piece of equipment, just don't believe where open-box says "looks new".
I love my maxpro its my life line it keeps my my health in check. Each day its my challenge and motivation to be better health wise.
I purchased the certified open box Max Pro and it’s like new! I’ve used it every day since I got it and haven’t experienced any issues. I travel a lot and wanted something that I could take with me. It’s so compact and surprisingly lightweight. As a person who was always fit and life just took over the last few years… I needed something easy to use and this little machine wipes out any excuses I might find to not work out. As others have noted, the paywall in the app is a bummer. I’m using the few free workouts and figuring it out myself. But the machine itself is exactly what I needed. T
Long story short. Trainer and gym rat for 30 years. Too many injuries from free weights. Absolutely love the MAXPRO with rack system. Provides a lot of variables/movements. Hearing a lot about no eccentric phase but I increase my rep schemes and can actually focus more on contraction during concentric phase! Hope the hardware maintains its efficiency and longevity.
I am surprised and blown away by this state of the art equipment. The resistance level makes this a legit muscle building tool and I have been using it for that purpose. I have also been surprised at how many exercises can be done. Absolutely love it.
Glad I bought this. I am 53 years old and it gives me a nice work out.
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.
