What other brand attachments will fit on the GetRXd RX3 Racks? I know there are websites out there with charts on other brands listed with compatibility charts, but not any I have found with GetRXd. Might be a good weblink for you to have Gluck 🤔
I love the upgrades over the builder series and I’m looking forward to the tornado arms making it out into the wild. Keep up the great reviews! I’d hate to run out of curl variations.
@ I mean, not all designs are future proof. The builder series has nonstandard spacing and bolt sizes. The only real upgrade path there is to replace all those components. This model looks more future proof to me because it’s 3x3 with 1” holes
@@fwiffo42 or sell a 3x3 post with the old nonstandard spacing but with the new 1" holes between the connection points... (My gripe is really with the 4 post functional trainer i purchased a few months ago) hhmmmm????
I was at the (CA) REP showroom yesterday. I’m with Wynnie on the weight of the AB4100 being “just right”. Thanks for all those bench reviews, I watched them too many times 😂
I just put together the Tornado arms half rack. I don't have much functional trainer experience, but they definitely seem heavy to move on the upright and wiggle until the pin inserts. I hope it can be a low-cost freemotion trainer with storage shelves in the middle and a secondary rack.
@GlucksGym As an update, the trolley is much easier to move if the knurled handle is only used to operate the pop pin, and a second hand applies vertical movement at the trolley's center of mass. The cantilevered Tornado arm causes a lot of trolley side load and friction.
Idk if rogue just came out with it, but their FMHR twin machine is a dream come true. Compact, dual pulleys, lat pulldown and low row plus ability to do free barbell exercises as well - it’s perfect.
If I wasn't so cheap, this might have been a good option a year ago. But I went with the Bells plate loaded and am happy with it. Selectorized would be sweet to have though.
I mounted the BOS pulley tower on BOS cross supports at the back of the hydra rack and it makes a great low row, lat pull down, and functional trainer with the added height. For everything but chest flies.
Great video! Love the Honesty. I finished building my wall-mounted RX3 Tornado Tuesday night. I have 8' ceilings in my garage, so it was a tight fit, but it does work. You should mention the instructions manual. They are not very detailed. I had to cut out a couple of notches in my base boards. I wrote them a pretty detailed email. Overall, i am very happy with my purchases from GetRXd. I don't have near the fitness equipment experience as you though 😅 Look forward to your review on the Tornado Arms
Did you need to tighten most of your pulley bolts and everything? Most of the "pre-assembled" items I had were barely hand tight. That's fine, I just wish it would have told me in the instructions or at least an email letting me know.
Thanks for such a good review. I have been trying to decide between the RXd 3000 and the BoS weight stack cable tower. My home gym is in a 2nd floor bedroom so I am dealing with a tight space. Weight is a consideration for what is allowed in there. I have a Nordictrack incline trainer, Sole elliptical trainer and adjustable dumbbells up there already and it is a small room. So a single tower is all I can really get up in there. The RXd looks good because it is taller , has band pegs, and has the 3x3 uprights which allows for more flexibility down the road for expansion and attachments. The BoS looks good because it allows for a better Lat Pulldown and Functional trainer experience as well as a potential belt squat option down the road (using Matt Porter’s attachments). I have never seen the attachments in person so not certain this should be a decision maker. The footprint seems better for me with BoS as it is about 2 foot square versus RXd 5 feet by 3 feet protruding out. I’d love to hear thoughts on the two compared from people who have them and have been through this decision process. Are the Matt Porter attachments great and do they make that big of a difference? Is the 3x3 wide and taller uprights more of a difference maker? Thanks
I just assembled my selectorized BoS tower last night ... I think this GetRx, for only $300 more, is a much better unit. No regrets though ... you gotta start somewhere and my BoS can keep me productive for quite a while. If I'm lucky enough to outgrow it it will be a cause for celebration.
Versatility is king for me, which is how I ended up with dual BoS towers. Being able to do either 2:1 or 1:1 on a single tower opens the door to so many different exercises if you like to tinker and try new movements. You can do lever arm movements (leg press, leverage squat, etc) with up to 420lbs of cable resistance, for example. Having said all that, if I was starting from scratch (and had the ceiling height) I would be extremely torn between two of these or the tornado rack. Being able to easily adjust the width of the pulleys and get them higher or lower than where the trolley can travel might outweigh the benefits of the dual cables. But either way I’m going with the equipment that lets me get the most out of it for my training over the equipment that looks and feels nicer but does less.
Need a review of the tornado rack! I’m finally about to pull the trigger on an all-in-one rack and that might just be the one, but can’t find a customer review yet!
It's 31" from front surface of front upright to back surface of back upright. But 36" depth if you factor in the footplates that are welded at bottom of each upright
Long run, what do you think will win out or is better... Ingtegrating everything on your rack, or going with a separate unit from your rack for cables, etc?
“I was hoping to do chest supported rows with the Pegasus seat but the pull point was too high”… have you tried putting the Pegasus up higher and using a box/bench for your feet?
I feel like nothing compares in value to the BOS All-in-one trainer. Even being forced to work in their ecosystem will provide cost savings. I got the plate-loaded option and 2 standard J cups. Unbeatable value.
@@GlucksGym just saw it at their show room. They also have a bunch of attachments ready to go. Apparently they will retrofit some of them to the 2.3 x 2.3 cable tower.
Hey Gluck. Thanks for all of the tips and sale info. Please remind viewers of the company that makes the barbell hooks that allow you to store a barbell inside the top of your rack rack and parallel to the floor. I think they are based in southern cal?
Ah so glad someone finally released a 3x3 pulley tower that would have been an upgrade from my titan tower. I’ve only been asking for a budget-ish option for a year. Oh well my Adonis came in and is assembled so I don’t care anymore since it took everyone too long.
Honestly, I would go with neither because I believe everything is going to free motion arms on these things . That's going to be the next trend that's being produced in China and other countries . I've seen lat pulldowns with them , wall mount functional trainers , leverage machines , half racks , power racks - this goes on . I really see that's the next thing that's going to be pushed , and they're only going to get better . Fitness equipment has always been about trends , and everybody is always looking for that next itch to scratch , regardless if it works for them or not . I should know , I used to install fitness equipment in rich people's homes . Some people will buy anything just for the status symbol .
Someone should try making the trolley adjustable so the pulley assemblies could be shifted up or down on the trolley. Up for high pulls and down for low pulls. Making it possible to get almost another foot of travel
@GlucksGym when you say the Athena is a smoother system, are you referring to their trollies? If one were to replace the Athena trollies with the GetRxd tornado pivot arms, will that negate the smoothness of the Athena system?

@@wakawaka1976 no - but thats because i only used these dumbells for certain exercises and only added a few plates at a time. i have a an old rep fitness pr 3000 setup with all the old attachments ( dip/landmine/ pully/safetty straps and all that)- so the dumbells were just there for random stuff. its quick to adjust and I will say that these are by far the best adjustable dumbells out there in my opinion. they feel like regular old dumbells lol. if your interested in the ironmaster and old rack of mine with the attachments let me know - prolly cut you a sweet deal
I wish they would offer an upgrade option from last years model. same for their functional trainer. if not someone should offer a front 3X3 post with the old bolt connection points and the new top to bottom one inch holes. (My gripe is really with the 4 post functional trainer i purchased a few months ago)
@EnglundFam The RX3 Upright to Builder Upright Adapter mounts your RX3 Crossbars or Uprights to a Builder Upright.. THIS IS NOT THE SOLUTION.. However if they reversed the design.. To mount your existing Builder Upright crossbar to the new RX3 Upright. The that would promote customer loyalty.. My own thought is to hire a local company to make two custom uprights that have the same 10mm bolt on connections.. but have the new 1 inch holes top to bottom.. Or modify my existing Uprights..
My 30 year old lat pulldown/ low row still going strong. Someday I’ll upgrade but it will need to be with something with a 5 lb starting weight or so for the wife
Would love to see 5lb starting weights. The issue is since these are used for overhead lifts companies worry about people dropping heavy attachments on their heads.
I’m of the opinion that you buy once cry once. I have REP’s Ares 1.0 on a PR5K and absolutely love it. I do wish I could easily upgrade to the 2.0. I love the upgrades of the new version. This does seem like a really good budget option if a few hundred dollars is a deal breaker. Rogue or REP is the way to go.
Heard from someone at bells of steel that they are releasing a 3x3 cable tower with a set of attachments in first quarter next year. I wouldn’t buy this and just wait for theirs
100%. I have the BoS one and the lack of compatibility really holds it back. The weird tub sizing means you're completely limited to what they put out and since they don't make a basic seat with a leg holder, you can forget heavy lat pulldowns. Great for lots of other exercises though, but if you've got the choice, go for compatibility.
@@GetRxd I'm an inch taller than Gluck and I have a tall torso. I guess I'm not most people? This would more than likely eliminate the stretch for me with close grip handles. Also if I can't use it for single arm pulldowns it eliminates one of the main reasons I would purchase the piece. It's a no go for me!
@@williamwallace2809 One of our engineers is 6'1" and we had him try with lat pulldown bar, chinning triangle for close grip lat pulldowns, and with single arm using the default handles it comes with. It was enough ROM for the lat pulldown bar and chinning triangle for sure. Very close to enough with the included single handle if you angle back a little, but not enough when sitting totally vertical. We had the lat pull seat at the lowest position and rather than using 2 links of carabiners as seen in gluck's video, you can do with just 1 carabiner link instead. Email us if you'd like to see the video!
@GlucksGym yeah, I saw that but your review says 12 and it's the same as their light commercial which is 12. I'm pretty sure that's a typo on their website. Could you confirm?
@@GlucksGym btw, you nailed it in comparing this to the bells towers. I have dual plate loaded bells towers and I'm looking to upgrade to something with a stack. This was on my radar for that very reason. Great job.
I've had my dual BoS cable towers since last year and I'm pretty sure they used to say they were 12 gauge steel back then in their website, maybe they moved to 14 gauge since then.
Mine (which is older) is 12 gauge. I verified with calipers. I won't assume it's a typo I've seen companies swap gauges before and I actually appreciate the honesty if that's the case. I will reach out to the owner of Bells. If it's a typo, they'll update the listing.
Lat pull down while shoulders hiked up like earrings. 😆 I am watching with no sound. Can’t wake up the baby. And the cc isn’t working on my phone. Maybe you made a joke about it? If not, lighten the load, dude.
Too expensive. I can buy a seated leg extension/curl machine. a seated row machine, a Smith Machine with an upper and lower cable pulley attachment, a glute ham developer, and a belt squat machine from Temu for less than the price of the RX3000 Cable Tower, and I have. Exercise equipment is getting ridiculously expensive. For instance, Rogue Fitness actually is selling an overbuilt power rack for sale for $9,995. You can pay much more for exercise equipment, but why would you want to when you can buy 5 exercise machines for the price of the one shown in the video?
Skipped leg day for this video - no regrets.

looks like you cant add matt porters pull down attachment to the new kraken 3x3 because the pulleys are on top
We'll also have more attachments for our cable tower 3000 series coming out soon. Stay tuned : )
They've legit been saying soon for years lol
It looks like GetRx has a plate loaded option similar to BoS (cost is $444). If ceiling height is not a concern, would you choose this one?
Plate Loaded and Weight Stack options are both on our website now!
100%. I have the BoS one and the lack of compatibility really holds it back. The weird tub sizing means you're completely limited to what they put out and since they don't make a basic seat with a leg holder, you can forget heavy lat pulldowns.
Great for lots of other exercises though, but if you've got the choice, go for compatibility.
Why am I the only one who wants this to be taller?
The highest trolley point is 78" - should be good height for lat pulls for most people
@@GetRxd I'm an inch taller than Gluck and I have a tall torso. I guess I'm not most people? This would more than likely eliminate the stretch for me with close grip handles. Also if I can't use it for single arm pulldowns it eliminates one of the main reasons I would purchase the piece. It's a no go for me!
@@williamwallace2809 One of our engineers is 6'1" and we had him try with lat pulldown bar, chinning triangle for close grip lat pulldowns, and with single arm using the default handles it comes with. It was enough ROM for the lat pulldown bar and chinning triangle for sure. Very close to enough with the included single handle if you angle back a little, but not enough when sitting totally vertical. We had the lat pull seat at the lowest position and rather than using 2 links of carabiners as seen in gluck's video, you can do with just 1 carabiner link instead. Email us if you'd like to see the video!
i'm always a fan of a nice rack
I thought bells uses 12 gauge, not 14.
Their listing says 14
@GlucksGym yeah, I saw that but your review says 12 and it's the same as their light commercial which is 12. I'm pretty sure that's a typo on their website. Could you confirm?
@@GlucksGym btw, you nailed it in comparing this to the bells towers. I have dual plate loaded bells towers and I'm looking to upgrade to something with a stack. This was on my radar for that very reason. Great job.
I've had my dual BoS cable towers since last year and I'm pretty sure they used to say they were 12 gauge steel back then in their website, maybe they moved to 14 gauge since then.
Mine (which is older) is 12 gauge. I verified with calipers. I won't assume it's a typo I've seen companies swap gauges before and I actually appreciate the honesty if that's the case. I will reach out to the owner of Bells. If it's a typo, they'll update the listing.
Algo.
11:15 hahaha
Lat pull down while shoulders hiked up like earrings. 😆 I am watching with no sound. Can’t wake up the baby. And the cc isn’t working on my phone. Maybe you made a joke about it? If not, lighten the load, dude.
11:20 💀💀
Too expensive. I can buy a seated leg extension/curl machine. a seated row machine, a Smith Machine with an upper and lower cable pulley attachment, a glute ham developer, and a belt squat machine from Temu for less than the price of the RX3000 Cable Tower, and I have. Exercise equipment is getting ridiculously expensive. For instance, Rogue Fitness actually is selling an overbuilt power rack for sale for $9,995. You can pay much more for exercise equipment, but why would you want to when you can buy 5 exercise machines for the price of the one shown in the video?
Yet another reason to not shop at Walmart.
Hmmmm... Nice rack 😅
but surely all carbon steel is equal since it's 11 gauge- no way China would skimp on quality
IM GOD! #1
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
