Hey Steve..excited that you made the ultimate decision to purchase the C10...I received mine a few weeks back based on your earlier video on it. I can tell you this piece of equipment is outstanding! I ordered the sliding bench as well as the jammer arm attachments ..I just ordered the aluminum pulleys today...The dip handles you mention are also great! This truly is all I will ever need (I also bought a Freak Athlete Hyper Pro at the same time...another great piece of equipment BTW). I own a set of powerblocks to complete a total gym! I am 100% satisfied with this purchase...all based on your recommendation! Thanks again!
Congrats on the purchase and your thoughts on it. I’m super excited to start using it while protecting my spine. I have the aluminum pulleys as well and decided to give them a try. I’ll have to take a look at that Freak Athlete product. Lots of people love their stuff. Congrats again.
Thanks to your reviews I have purchased the C10 and thank you for your added “Stevie” discount. Much appreciated ! My third day using it and so far it’s great! Sliding bench is on back order. Looking forward to receiving it
@ I remember hearing you say it was quite the undertaking. I like assembling equipment, so if I was closer, I’d gladly help…would love to hear some old wrestling stories.
I asked forceusa support about the dip bars being sold a la carte, they told me they will be available to be purchased on their own soon. I agree, I want the forceusa dip handles (rather than aftermarket) because they have the two handle positions. I don't need the leg dev attachments because that functionality comes with the sliding bench, and I don't have space to store the jammer arms, nor would I use them much. So hold off for now, they should be available to purchase on their own in the future.
Preparing to build a gym in my house gonna go with Forceusa x15 with the lat pull down attachment. I also plan on getting the 45 degree Hack squat and leg press combo to cover my leg days. Buy once cry once is awesome I gotta steal that one.
That sounds like a great setup. Congrats on getting all that and keep me updated. I would love to showcase other gym spaces on the channel. When you do decide to purchase, please use my link to save: www.forceusa.com/stevie
I ordered them only for review purposes. With all the trainers I’ve owned, I haven’t noticed any shortcomings with the standard pulleys. People seem to really want the aluminum pulleys, so I figured I’d try them with the C10.
I bought C10 with Sliding bench from Johnson Fitness with their assembly service as I didn’t want to deal with headaches of installing it myself. They included Axe strength air bike free to match Force USA offer but in return I had to pay for the assembly service. It’s scheduled to be installed on Dec 10 so can’t wait to get started with my new fitness journey. This will be my first big investment so far I have been working out with dumbbells mostly.
9 would be my estimate as well. I actually plan on uploading a video dedicated to measuring my space for the C10 as well as some tiles soon. Stay tuned. Thanks so much for using the link to purchase. Keep me updated on how the C10 is working for you.
Hello Steevie, Thank you for your videos. I was going to buy the G15 pro because I am a small woman and the 4:1 ratio is very interesting for small muscle groups but the C10 is very interesting for the legs. What do you think? Thank you
That’s a tough call- for the best of reasons. The 4:1 ratio gives a bit more scalability than most trainers. However, I personally decided on the C10 because of the extra functionality, especially working legs. I’ve personally decided to go with the C10 and sliding bench to emphasize more leg work, not need a dedicated leg press/hack squat and curls/extensions. Add to that the other standard all in one trainer features and it’s a winner. If you do decide to purchase, please use my link: www.forceusa.com/stevie
I was very excited with the C10, but the fact that we have to move the front pulleys every time we want to use the smith machine and the pulleys itselfs are the security for the barbell, is kinda a deal breaker for me. I like to be able to use the cables and the smith machine without having to move everything away each time. Same with the pulldowns, you have to move the 2x pulleys, then set the barbell to lock the legs.. That's a lot of manipulation for one single exercise. Once I move to the new house next year I'll get a Taurus multifunctional (pretty much the same as the G20), with leg plate and jammer arms that can actually be used with the cables and take advantage of the weight stacks, and a separate lat tower 1:1 ratio for those heavy charges. As I live in France and I have a taurus shop 1h away from me, I'll play safe and buy local, at least if I'll need some assistance in the future I can go directly to the store.
Thanks for this. I didn't realize that, so knowing that the pulleys are the Smith safeties make it more difficult to have multiple people using it at once.
I’ll have to test that out further and see how much of an inconvenience that may turn into. Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, having access to support when owning one of these monstrous pieces of equipment is a good idea. I’ll have to check out the Taurus brand.
@@StevieRichardsFitness Taurus have some interesting pieces of equipment, they have several "German brand of the year" awards. But obviously, like all other brands, the final product is made in china.
@DarrellLangford it really depends on what exercises are you both doing. You can put the pulley in a low position and use it while someone else uses the smith, but apparently you can't use the smith with the pulley in a high position, the back of the pulleys don't let the barbell move.
@@StevieRichardsFitness yeah the new X15 is great, but i'm looking for a full rack. Its a shame that they discontinued the x20. I hope there will be an update versión soon. Thanks, and i will be waiting fornde C10 review.
It may not be your thing, but would you do a workout video we could follow at home ? nothing crazy but like 15min cardio session with a few exercises or something like that

Congrats on the C10 and thank you for using the link.
The sliding bench is definitely something I will uploading dedicated videos here.
@@StevieRichardsFitness Any and all tips using the sliding bench will be appreciated, especially tips for taller guys (6'7"). Thanks Agian!
I have a C10 and the sliding bench sitting in the shed ready to be put together. Can't wait!
That’s awesome. Congrats.
How long did assembly take?
@mikejensen1473 waiting to move into new house before I can assemble, but I'll try to do a video on it and go through everything 🍻
@@tonygillahan Thanks!
Looking forward to seeing this in your garage. The Sliding Bench is a really cool feature.
Thanks man. I’m not looking forward to assembling it lol.

Thanks for the information. I was hoping that was the case.
The C10 seems like it will be a game changer. Really excited to see how other companies react.
It really does stand out right now and I’m sure others will add it to their lineup.

Just curious, any rumors of other sets in the C series?
I've only had the unit for 2 months, I have the normal pulleys. Are the aluminum upgrades worth it?

Congrats on the C10. It looks like we both are going to be learning all the functionality together.
Keep me updated on how it’s working for you.
@@StevieRichardsFitness Thank you. I cannot wait to get started. I look forward to watching your future videos on C10 and learning from you.
Preciate the videos, i just subscribed and am about to use your code to order a C10. How many floor tiles do you recommend? I was thinking maybe 9?
9 would be my estimate as well.

Hey Stevie!
I want a full rack, and now the x20 isn't available anymore.
There will be a new model next year? Like the v2 of the X15
Thanks!
I’m not sure about an updated version of the X15. The current one is a beast.
@@StevieRichardsFitness yeah the new X15 is great, but i'm looking for a full rack.
Its a shame that they discontinued the x20. I hope there will be an update versión soon.
Thanks, and i will be waiting fornde C10 review.

Absolutely. Workouts are definitely something I have planned for 2025.
