You've got humor and expressed respect for your womenfolk. Great review. I'm still looking at the options, and this helped a lot. Consider doing a review of these in terms of their resistance mode. That is what I found to be missing here.
In all honesty if you’re considering space I’d recommend the virtuvian solely because it doesn’t need a wall and if you move it’s by far the easiest to transport. Yeah it’s limiting on workouts but apparently they’re working on a lag pull-down attachment using pulleys and that could be a game changer
Oh wow. This is the 1st time I've stubled across machines like these. They're pretty neat and futuristic. I'll remain an adjustable dumbbell guy for a while but I'll be researching these more. Great overview.
Depending on where you live you may be able to try before you buy. Around me Nordstrom has tonal on display and I found a vitruvian demo location on their website. I'm researching too
Great Video and I'm loving your content! Just ordered my Oxefit after watching your videos and David's channel. You guys have been very helpful! Keep up the great work and I hope your channel grows tenfold.
I actually 100% agree with this video. Vitruvian just doesn't have enough workouts to keep me motivated. The 440 lbs of resistance is awesome because for someone like me I'd love to be able to push my limits without worrying of maxing out the machine. I used to lift 200lbs like nothing so worried the resistance on the tonal won't be enough to push me past my goal of benching and squatting 350-400lbs one day. But I guess once I get that big I should be in a real gym anyway.
I have had my Xs1 for just over a year and I have had numerous issues with the machine. The first being an extremely delayed shipping process. Then within a month of using it, a motor malfunctioned and had to be replaced. After that there have been multiple software issues that cause the machine to be inoperable. Most recently, the machine encountered an error that caused the deck of the unit to be non-functional. When I co tasted the support they advised it was out of warranty and said they'd get me a quote. They didn't even attempt to trouble shoot with me. In the short time I have been an Oxefit customer, I have noticed a sharp decline in their customer support. When the Xs1 works, it is a great product. However, it has caused countless headaches. Especially for the price I would steer clear of this product.
Wow. First of thanks for the quick comparison. It was so quick I had to watch again. I’m so used to other creators chatting away or doing the TH-cam subscribe schpill that I tuned out for a few minutes and then your video was approaching the end lol. Also, no affiliate link? Dang. Who are you? Thanks and will keep doing my research. This bit of info (your opinion) has helped a lot!
I’ve been watching many videos to know what to buy. Thanks for your video. I live in an apartment but less and less time as time goes by. If I had the space I would go for free weights, without a second thought. 200 or 250 pounds, even if unstable, that’s not even a warm up (like 25 reps to get close to failure). I think I’ll go with vitruvian. I can set a $60 pulley to my pull up bar if I need vertical exercise but I already have a pull up bar set to a frame for that. With how big oxefit is I thought it would have a higher digital resistance.
Great video again! Pretty much have the same pluses and minuses that you do. I ordered a tonal last year and had a terrible shipping experience with those guy’s so I canceled and I’m glad I did. Still trying to determine what’s best for me I guess the Vitruvian cause I can save about $1500-$2000 depending on what I’d all order on the OxeFit if I went that way! Just waiting for the overhead attachment that may come out for the Vitruvian but if it isn’t soon you may have convinced me on pulling the trigger on the OxeFit. So thanks and keep the videos coming!
@@scottmcclain2918 For sure… the lighting, background, camera settings, etc. - you really worked hard! I’m trying to do similar - ‘future wellness’ - th-cam.com/video/MB3vk6LmSao/w-d-xo.html - although this is mainly for existing members rather than to build up TH-cam
Hey Scott...have you tried the similar equipment made by Wolfmate fitness? Costs a lot less and they say you get the same benefits. Hope you make a review on those too
The funny thing about these machines is you can do the same USING BANDS LIKE BODYLASTICS and a door!! Yep I lost 150 lb to have a Beachbody using bands!! You could do various variations for your chest and legs with push-ups using the bands. If you want more resistance you could get a bar and extensions for the bands and a bench, into bench press and squats!! use the anywhere anchor to simulate bench press UP TO 500 LB!! You could also find ways to anchor these bands with all the attachments to a wall, to the floor the amount of weight you can use is endless!! There is ways to do anything with these bands FOR UNDER $200 AND YOU GET ALMOST 550 LB!! They are a lifetime warranty You only get to pay five bucks if one starts to wear.. had mine 12 years never had one break!! And you can take the bands in a bag anywhere and you have a door you're all set!! Not to mention elastic bands actually simulate how your muscle flexes more than anything else even more than these machines!! WHICH MAKES IT MUCH BETTER FOR YOUR JOINTS AND BODY! Simply amazing!!
Great content! Would absolutely love if you would do a video of the limitations to the oxefit. Coming from traditional squat racks and functional trainers with a width of at least 39” I was wondering if the width from cable to cable is wide and tall enough to do cable fly’s and what your thoughts coming from iron to resistance is. - Really torn on getting a Rep Ares or this. Thanks for your vids!
Hey…I understand your concern…I’ll try to put a video together about limitations; although, there aren’t many Check out my short where I do chest fly exercise
Awesome just checked it out thank you! What are your thoughts overall? Really want to make the switch since I move every 2 years and taking a full gym set it’s a hassle Many thanks!
@@MandrewAndrew I like the oxefit so far…I have an issue with a shackle but I’m awaiting the service call still, which I’m sure will fix it. I think the ares, like the oxefit, is a large machine. The ares will serve you for a long time and probably without some issues you may face with an oxefit. ( being electrical and having software) However, moving every 2 years is a lot for either machine and increase risk of damage. If I were you, I would consider a tonal and maybe ancillary set of dumbbells …the machine isn’t as heavy as the other 2 so moving should be easier but you may have to pay to have them move it. Eitherway, I would buy a warranty on your products just incase…good luck with your selection
Awesome video and if I had the room I definitely would get the oxfit for sure but I do know you can do seated rows on the vitruvian. I've had it for a couple months and yes it is very limiting with certain movements like lat pulldowns even certain tri exercises as well
Hey brother great video and a big help just wondering if any of them if you don't get the Subscription of any of them Which one of them were still function with a great workout without any limitations because of the subscription
I’m curious have you actually tried the Tonal? I heard that the resistance on Tonal felt heavier than compared to Oxfit. I’ve only heard this but haven’t heard any confirmation
No I haven’t personally…I have a friend that has it and she didn’t mention anything unusual. The oxefit digital weight ends up about 5-8lbs heavier then what it reads as weighed by me…it’s plenty heavy and feels heavier than traditional weights imo
Nice review. I went between the Oxefit and Tonal for a while. The Vitruvian wasn't even in the running. I don't think it's even close to the same level as the other two and not for its price point. I went with the Tonal based on the space also for ease of use with my wife. The partner workout are fantastic on the Tonal. We each can have our own settings and seamlessly swap between sets. Mobility wasn't an issue a few lag bolts and finding the studs it's very difficult and Tonal doesn't need to know that I moved it :) It doesn't have gps and they don't track your address for warranty claims. It's also not that heavy it doesn't weigh 200lbs so one person can carry the machine. Both fantastic machines they really motivate you. My wife and I haven't missed a day since getting ours 8 weeks ago. We have to force ourselves to do Yoga or put the workout in recovery mode for a break. Oh did I mention recovery mode? It lets you work out with your same routine with reduced weight so you don't have to skip days for rest. If anyone needs the $100 off Tonal code here you go fbuy.io/tonal/8my6fygz
I disagree, the vitruvian has WAY better hardware and that is something you cannot reinvent or make better, as to what the tonal hardware isn't as sturdy seeing how there are plastic parts that can wear down and is more prone to wear and tear. the Vitruvian is carbon fiber and hardly any plastic, the machine will last a lifetime, as to the software bit, yes it is inferior to Oxefit and Tonal, but with the thing about software, unlike hardware, software can be improved over time, so there's that. also with over 400Lb compared to the other two, that's a huge win. Most exercises can be done on the Vitruvian and the team is already working on new accessories to increase exercise variety. They're designing a bench where the cable runs through the top of it, making lat pulldowns possible. I love the Vitruvian bc you don't have to use so much space and ruin your walls with installation. you can travel with it and store it away when need be, and it's only 80Lb. Also the Vitruvian has eccentric only algorithm which is amazing.
@@judahguerrero1090 That's cool glad you like it. I like all smart home equipment but it's not one size fits all. I don't want a platform laying around the room. Having a 6" wide tv-ish device on the wall is perfect and takes zero space. I don't see how it ruins the wall I hang lots of things on the wall and if I move them I use a little spackle and paint. It's only a couple lag bolts holding it in place. Just like my pullup bar. As for the plastic some plastic covering metal to make it a little nicer looking is hardly a wear item. They're all cable machines that you cannot service yourself so they will have the same longevity based on how good they were built. I'm just happy there are multiple options now. I'm never going back to traditional weights these devices are all so much better for me working out at home. I'm glad we have multiple options that fit our needs. Speediance looks interesting as well as a cheaper Tonal alternative. www.speediance.com/ I'm not a power lifter to 200lbs is perfect for me and the wife.

Yeah it’s limiting on workouts but apparently they’re working on a lag pull-down attachment using pulleys and that could be a game changer
Then again, you could just add a pull-up bar, which may be even better than lat pull-downs. I like how small and versatile the Vitruvian looks.

Digital weight is heavier than regular weight 😂
Sure would love to see a comparison between the Oxefit and the Speediance Gym Monster.
Same
Total if you dont pay subscription becomes an expensive rope machine 😂😂

My need is making sure I can track my proper form and prevent injuries and also get a variety of workouts.
I wonder if any of these would help. Maybe that’s why he says “if you know what you’re doing”…
Good review. I have the Tonal and mobility isn’t an issue for me. But fair review.
Thank you for this comparison review. You are amazing ❣️

Thanks, I'm looking for a device that will be one-in-all since I will have just 1 small room for it. Didn't know Oxefit. Looks amazing.
IDK my old Bowflex had smaller footprint/portability/variety/resistance for a whole lot less….wish Bowflex would go back to that platform …
