I had been waiting for so long for this machine to come back in stock at Costco. I finally decided to go inside the store to see if they had one on display and man was I shocked to see one. It was a beauty! It was the last one they had and I talked them into selling it to me. Just the day before that I watched a video on how to assemble it. I told them that I would break it down myself and load it up on my truck. They didn’t want to sell it at first, but I persisted. I paid $1250 for it, went home and got my tools, broke that baby down and loaded it up. Now it's sitting pretty in my garage right beside my Inspire Power Cage. I have to say that I'm in love with it. It's very smooth and gets the job done. No more gym memberships me!
Bought this functional Trainer and i love it. Amazing Total body workout with minimum space requirement. Bought other attachments to maximize different exercises. Best exercise equipment I ever bought. Highly recommend!
This is definitely one that I’m considering. I keep getting hung up on that pull-up bar. It looks like it’s attached by L-brackets instead of going all the way across the top. What’s the weight limit on that bar?
What a wonderful machine ! They sell it at Costco but at 1799$ it's too expensive here in Canada. I wish they could give us a promo code so that it could bring the price down to 1000$ like in the US. I would buy one in a heartbeat.
It's a similar price here in the UK. I definitely understand the price being high, but it is a great investment and you won't need to buy anything else for a long time, so you can get your monies worth :)
Inspired FT equipment isn't like your typical low end quality home gym equipment you'd see at Walmart. For a few yrs I was working out at the gym that had same exact FT set. I loved the equipment so much I got FT2 Inspired gym set. It's a "investment", where your not fighting/waiting to use the gym equipment & the equipment runs smooth, with quick & easy switching things. & not paying monthly fees at the local gym. You want a real home gym & quality without shuffle free weights this is it.
Costco just ran a special for $1,299 which included free shipping and a free year of the app. I was able to score one, just finished putting it together. Now I see it's back up to $1,499
@@ExerciseUK Each pulley maxes out at 82.5 pounds. Great for basic fitness, but not for intermediate lifting. From their website: "The FTX has a resistance ratio of 2:1 per pulley, which means the maximum weight you can lift per pulley is 82.5 lbs per pulley."

I purchased this weight system a few years ago. Only now am I getting serious about getting into shape. But the APP program has now expired.😢 I really wish I had access to these workout videos. Do you have any recommendations for me? I’m looking for a very basic strength training routine. I’m planning on strength training twice a week. Looking to build lean muscle but to not get bulky. Thanks In Advance.
Can you tell me the height of the towers without the chin up bar? Yes, I realize it needs that support but we have a low ceiling and could fabricate a flat bar to keep it together if needed. TIA!
Hello, we only have the measurements that are on the website: www.exercise.co.uk/inspire-ftx-functional-trainer-with-bench The bar isn't very big and doesn't take up much space, but we wouldn't be able to say for certain what the height is without the bar.
I just bought the sf3 and can’t get my 1 yr free subscription because it says my SN is invalid, sent in all my info and 4 wks later still no reply to help.
Hi, sorry to hear that. We don't sell that particular gym; you would need to speak to Inspire or the company you bought it from. However, I do believe that the 1-year free subscription to the Inspire app no longer exists and is just free to all as they are working with Centr. If your subscription is for that then definitely contact Inspire oe Centr. Sorry, I can't be of more help. inspirefitness.com/theapp/
Lat pull downs can be done with the pulleys. These can be adjusted up and down the runner at the front of the machine so that you can change the type of exercise you're doing. For lat pull-downs, if you jump to 1:40 on the video, there is an example of what to do and how to adjust the pulleys. By adjusting the pulleys in the same way, you could move them to the bottom and do low rows. In terms of the height of the machine, or technical specs can be found here: www.exercise.co.uk/inspire-ftx-functional-trainer-with-bench
@@ExerciseUK I know that but is there a way to hold yourself down while doing lat pulldowns like a lat pull down machine? I also heard this functional trainers are shorter than lat pull downs machines so even if I was able to find a way to add a seat or something to hold myself down it looks like I would not have fully rabge of motion on arms do to functional trainner being shorter
@@futbol1972 The machine comes with a weight bench if that's of use. If you want a machine specifically for lat pull downs, you might be better looking for a smith machine or a cage of some kind. The functional trainer is designed for you to be able to do lots of different workouts without having to buy more equipment. I can't say about the height as it depends on what specifically you're judging it against. It all comes down to what else you'd want from a machine in your home I suppose.
@@ExerciseUK thank u for ur response. Well, I was hoping I could use the functional trainner as a functional trainner plus a lat pull down of some sort knowing that it's not a pull down machine..however I seen people doing low rows and lat pulldowns on functional trainner that's why I was wondering if it's really effective doing lat pull downs and low rows on it since u own the machine....also u mentioned a simith machine...I have read most bnegative reviwes about smith machines though
@@futbol1972 It really depends on what you want from a machine, your budget and space. If you get the right one, Smith machines are perfect for what I think you're looking for (www.exercise.co.uk/home-gym-equipment/smith-machines), but there are a range of functional trainers aside from this one that might be more suited to your needs (www.exercise.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=functional+trainer).

Awesome. Upgraded from a boflex. Thnx for all the great ideas
Huy. Did you have the Blaze? Currently trying to decide between two. Care to share your thoughts? Thanks.
Love showing this video to my friends. I tell them to pay attention to his breathing by the end of the video.
This is a really good machine in general, but the relatively low cost makes it a great machine!
Just ordered it today from Costco...get it next Friday..can't wait! I see it went up a couple hundred from the time it was selling during covid.

i really like this machine. I am just concerned if I will ever outgrow the weights.
You shouldn't, the weights are a set weight, but by using the cables, the resistance makes them heavier, so you should always be able to progress.
You could add weight with a weight pin right?
@@bigbubbano23 You can use the weight pin to change the weights, but you can't add weight plates to the weight stack.

You don't actually bench using a cable machine... You need a rack
Just do a fly or crossover.
