Never heard of em personally, but checked their website. Nice stuff, and highly priced! Titan, NewYorkBarbell, Powertec have solid equipment and good prices!

Nice looking equipment

If you find out anything let me know I've been wanting to buy a hack squat machine, but I'm in no hurry since I'm having shoulder surgery next week.

I wonder how this company gets away with it, all the patent infringement’s?

Essentially most of it is Life Fitness and Hammer Knockoffs.. Chinese manufacturers who do work for many manufacturers such as life fitness and star trac etc have agreements to produce and sell their designs.. you are now starting to see gym80 knockoffs etc .. most of the manufacturers have stopped producing their own equipment and rely on china.China.. the down side is China gets to sell your design.. id guess the tubing is not of a heavier Guage along with the upholstery etc.. but the biomechanics shoukd be the same

Yep, the original square tubing was probably 11-14 gauge thickness. When it gets replicated by China they save on the steel tubing costs by using 20 gauge or thinner materials. It’ll still work, but the solidness of the machine just isn’t the same! With the costs of steel nowadays that’s a significant price difference between the two!

Like Lats said the upholstery will be a much cheaper material prone to cracking, tears, etc. too.

Looks like good equipment just a bit pricey.
I’ve never heard of them but will say powertec is solid as it gets, I have machines that don’t have issues that are 10+ years old.
Titan is great too and good pricing
