Inspire Fitness FTX Functional Trainer - Compact at Home Workout Machine with Accessories - Space Saving Design - Home Gym Cable Machine and Two 165 lb Weight Stacks

Bought this on Black Friday, November 29th, for $1,519 and received it on December 6th - with great service and communication from the logistics company. It arrived on a large wooden pallet and as stated by other reviewers, it’s incredibly heavy and had to be broken down to haul it downstairs to the basement. The two weight stacks come assembled separately, the weights themselves are in another 6 boxes and then the two cross-supports are separate also. Even with those items broken down, it took three of us to get item downstairs. Putting together was a simple process, made difficult by how heavy the towers are. It took my wife and I together to get the two towers upright, positioned correctly and assembled with the two cross supports. After that I was able to complete the assembly and slide the weights onto the runners by myself. I was worried briefly during the assembly stage as it felt very unstable and moved under any weight, but once all bolts were tightened and weights added, there was no wobble when doing pull-ups. I’ve now been using the product for 3 weeks and have to say I’m very impressed. The cables are very smooth and feel very well balanced and the product appears to be very well made. The item came with a few attachments (a tricep rope, chin/dip belt, curl bar, two handles - material/rubber grips) which also appear to be very robust. The only issue taller people may find, is the (relatively) low height of the highest setting for the stations. It doesn’t bother me at all (I’m 5ft 6) but I can imagine that taller people may have a smaller range of motion when doing lat pull downs, tricep push downs etc. The height of the product in general is great for me, as it’s the perfect heigh for chin-ups and allows just enough clearance to my basement ceiling. In conclusion, I am incredibly impressed with the product and I would buy it again in an instant. It’s very well made and has helped add a ton of variety to my workouts. I would thoroughly recommend the FTX to any prospective buyer.

I highly recommend the FTX Functional Trainer. For a home gym, it is extremely well constructed out of higher-end materials. It feels very solid when in use (gym quality) and, so far at least, there are no annoying squeaks or rattles. Delivery (from CA to SC) took about 1 week and assembly was much easier than I anticipated...but you definitely need two people since some of the pieces are quite heavy and bulky. To the extent possible, try to get it dropped off as close as possible to the room where it will be installed. The unit is shipped in 7 boxes....6 50-pound boxes containing the weights for the two stacks and one box containing the actual trainer frame and components. All together it weighs close to 600 pounds. Most of the boxes were fairly well shredded by the time they made it to my house but, while there was some minor cosmetic damage to the FTX frame, it was surprisingly well-packed and protected. They include some touch-up paint (along with some teflon lubricant) with the package which comes in very handy. One issue that arose was the fact that the price of the FTX dropped almost $300 between the time I placed the order and actual delivery. Given that this is a very hard item to repack and return, I was worried I would be stuck with the higher price. However, I sent an email to Inspire Fitness customer support and received a reply back within 24-hours indicating that a refund would be issued for the price difference since they have a 14-day price drop policy. Lastly, keep in mind that the weight stacks in the FTX unit are not upgradeable...so if you feel you might need to add more weight to the stacks down the road then you must go with their FT1 or FT2 models. Overall, a great product at a fair price along with responsive customer service and I would not hesitate to purchase from them again.

The cable machine is incredibly versatile, allowing for a wide range of exercises that target various muscle groups. Its adjustable cables provide constant tension, enhancing muscle engagement and promoting balanced strength development. The smooth motion and multiple attachment options make it perfect for all fitness levels, from beginners to advanced athletes. Compact and efficient, it's an excellent addition to any home gym. Investing in a cable machine can transform your workout routine, making it more effective and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

I am fully satisfied with this product. First, the machine was delivered a week ahead of schedule. Second, the simplicity of the assembly is greatly appreciated. Finally, the smoothness and versatility of the machine allow for explosive and intense workouts, it feels like a quality commercial machine. It completes my home gym. The seller were easy to work with.

Great and durable product. I was a little concerned about purchasing a functional trainer without first seeing it in person, but it is sturdy and the cable and pulley system moves very smoothly. It was more put together than I was expecting it to be but the instructions were fairly easy to follow. I was not paying attention to how long it took me, although it can be set up alone I would suggest grabbing a friend to make some of the steps easier. I was surprised to find it included an adjustable bench. Great addition to any home gym and especially if you have injuries. It was also less expensive than similar functional trainers but it is by no means a cheaply made product.

This is a really nice machine. It's all we should ever need. It's smooth and sturdy. Just wish it came with the 5lb add on weights...or that they weren't so expensive to purchase. ($37 each).

It's nerve racking buying a large piece of exercise equipment online. I took the chance and I'm so glad I did. I love this cable machine. It's the perfect size for a home gym and does everything that I want and need. The quality exceeds my expectations and it runs very smoothly. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Horrible customer service. Website shows that upgrades are available for the trainer.Specifically, the smith bar and complete assembly. But was told by associate that no upgrades were available. Also told me that the only replaceable part was the weight stack pin. It took them 3 days to tell me that. So, I had a machine that was not useable. You would think after investing 2200 dollars they would treat you better. My advice. Buy an aftermarket machine. They are much cheaper and you can get the smith bar and complete kit for installation.
