I've owned this for several years and I have mixed feelings on it. On one hand, it's built pretty well overall and the curved tread is great for teaching you how to run properly. I like how I control the pace of movement. It makes you really focus on running instead of just tuning out. The negatives for me here are it's extremely expensive (just go run outside) and my tread is a bit noisy. I'm the type who would prefer a motorized treadmill to set at a static pace and just watch TV to get steps in, so this isn't really for me.

These are competition style KBs, so they're all very similar in size. This makes it pretty comical when lifting the lightest KB of 8KG vs the heavier ones as they look the same but feel completely different in use. The actual build quality of these is ok, but my issue is I have KBs that are the same color but are different weights. Seems they were mispainted.

Pepin did a small run of these KBs that mimicked his Fast Series Dumbbells. The thought was that someone could just buy the handle and get more use out of their plates. The problem is this thing is a bit too utilitarian. The handle itself connects at 90 degree angles so it makes doing KB movements more difficult. It's also not very wide, so it's hard to get two hands on there if need be. I will say it's built very well and is a cool concept, but needs some further revision.

I love this bench. It's big and beefy and allows for a lot of customization. That being said though, it is lacking compared to some of the other benches when it comes to adjustability and add ons. Since this is such a big beefy bench, you may find it's way to heavy for some to move around easily. I'd still go with this bench over others for my space b/c I wanted something I was able to really customize to make my own, however for most that prob isn't a big selling point as it drives up the cost substantially.

This is the most robust combo I've used and I've used them all! the bench is fully welded as is most of the base of the combo. That means this thing is extremely sturdy. The combo utilizes a pop pin to make putting the uprights in or out extremely efficient. If you're looking for a made in USA combo you don't have a ton of options, but I feel like this is one of the nicest you can get that still allows customization. The downside here is the cost. With a MSRP over $5k, it's likely to turn many off. You won't find this in competition in USAPL or Powerliftering America, but if you want a rack that really stands out, this is a great consideration.

Porter makes some really nice and high end gear considering he's a one man shop. This thing is perfect for single arm cable movements. The grip is big and girthy, has a great knurling, and just screams high end. The biggest downside here, as it is with most small manufacturers, is price point. It's an expensive piece that will likely hold some back from purchasing, but once you have it in your hands you can feel the quality.

These are some of the best made in USA plates you can buy. They look great, hold up well, and have the perfect amount of lip, while still being relatively thin, that makes them easy to handle. They fit on bars extremely well so there's no extra slop. I dinged them for build quality b/c most of my 45s (16 in total) are slightly underweight. I know they're not calibrated, but would have preferred to see some slightly over so that it would even out a bit more.

One of the nicest open trap bars you can buy. There's a lot you can do with this bar from traditional deadlifts, to many more movements bc of the open design. The handles are also removable, the bar is rackable, and there is some light knurling on part of the bar so you can press or squat with it as well. They offer several different handles which they advertise as being easy to swap out, but I haven't found that to be the case for myself. I think you're better off buying one set of handles and just sticking to those. The biggest downside to this bar is that it's extremely heavy and awkward, so storing or setting up for some may be difficult.
