I have two pieces from this company so far and I cannot express how happy I am with them. I have the iso row as well as the multi flight. I also own a pendulum squat thats not from them specifically, but this is 100% the better machine and I will be upgrading to it in the future.
I also cannot express how happy I am with the companys owner and the shipping/packaging. Everything worked as expected with no issues and it is 100% commercial quality on a budget.
As far as pendulum squats go, most pendulums uprights shake. It's the nature of the beast. I have used Arsenals, Atlantis and a few others as well as my own and they all shake just due to how the arm is attached to 2 uprights and the weight hangs like 6 feet from those uprights. Its not a safety issue or a design flaw, just nature of the beast.

I’ve been looking at this pendulum squat for awhile and no reviews. Wasn’t expecting to see you do one lmao

[majrdave]

This is a welcomed surprise review, thanks coop, been looking at their pendulum squat.

I actually own 6 of temple of gainz machines and love them all, best value for money! Yoni is the man

[doseofreality]

YES!! Please start reviewing Fettle Fitness machines. Not just the pendulum squat. Pec fly/rear delt machine.... leg extension/ seated leg curl honestly - just do a fettle fitness series/Playlist reviewing all their shit would be ideal. Maybe do it in conjunction with Bolt Fitness, ATX, and this company I just heard of (Temple of Gainz) and their offerings. So like get all their pendulum squats and compare/review them all. Get their leg extension/curl combo machines and review/ compare them all.

Honestly I'm just thrilled to see machines being reviewed on this channel and not just dumbbell, plate, rack, rack attachment, cable attachment, or bar review. Like a couple months ago you reviewed the Bolt multi-flight machine. I'm not interested in getting that machine at all... but I am intrigued by other offerings from Bolt. I was thrilled when I saw that video too.... and watched it despite not being in the market for that machine. Then a few weeks ago you did Bolt's rack/functional trainer. While it's... another rack review.... it was from a company rarely... just recently really, featured on this channel. I watched that one too even though I already have the best rack in the world in the Prime Prodigy selectorized rack. Haha.

But again.... not only was it a machine... somewhat (functional trainer aspect at least) but it was a product NOT from Rogue, Rep, Titan, or Elieko... the brands this Channel has essentially been an infomercial for for years no offense. I know Rep pays you to pimp their shit.... but it's nice to see you actually broaden and expand who's stuff you review and WHAT you review. Might also be the fact outside of their urethane dumbells - nothing from Rep really piques my interest. That is until they announced their partnership with Pepin. But that's not really a Rep offering. It's a Pepin offering taking advantage of Rep's facilities, marketing, and shipping. For that I actually applaud Rep. Not just stealing pepins design and making their own fast series dbs. I plan on waiting until next year to buy them and sell my current fixed set of urethane DBs.... or at least until they start shipping them out in a timely manner. I think if you order them now you won't get them until like... Christmas. I'll wait until at least the new possibly a full year from now.

I digress. But YES.... please start reviewing Fettle Fitness products.... and this Temple of Gainz and ATX and continue to review Bolt products. I can't speak for everyone but I got a full 2 car garage as my gym.... within reason - I don't care how much space the equipment takes up. At least just review their combo machine offerings.

William strength has also recently released a pendulum (the largest on the market currently) and said they have plans for a more compact unit. Cost will likely be in line with all the other "high end" manufacturers though. Prime Fitness is also currently working on one and believe it is moving out of the initial prototype stage soon.

Personally have been really eyeing this model and the Predator Strength one. However, I kind of want to try my hand at building a DIY version first. Just for the hell of it 😆

Pendulum vs Leverage, there must be a difference but they look so similar. Love to see a comparison video. I have a BodySolid leverage squat machine and love it.

[chipfillers]

Can you compare the GMWD and how do these compare to the lever squats? I think a belt squat and Pendulum Squat would be a complete leg day in itself.

[greghill]

How would you compare to a leverage squat machine….like titan, bells that also build in calf presses?

[zain_kolsy]

I went with a titan leverage hack squat to save some space, it's like a slightly more compact pendulum squat. Would love to see a comparison video!

[Colt-hd]

I know it’s cheaper . But I’d like Coop to review the GMWD pendulum squat . I’ve seen great reviews on it .

[stealthassasinday]

Someone call the knurling police on this guy. FYI commercial grade machines don't use knurling.

[Fitchcane]

Why is Gluck's Gym the only channel that has reviewed one of Rogue's new functional trainer racks so far? There are SO many people hungry for even one more review but nothing. I am ready to pull the trigger on one before the end of the year (and someone will get the affiliate referral) but I would really like to see some more reviews first. I just don't understand how one of the biggest new fitness equipment releases of the year by one of the biggest names in the home gym space is getting so little coverage.

[tominatorrix]

Really looking forward to the predatory strength pendulum squat review! I have been considering it for a while :)

[DVDVAMPIRE]

Honestly, if i had the space I would pickup this machine. I already own three ToG pieces and the quality is fantastic.

[levidenouden]

atx has one thats only 1600, you should review that pendulum squat pls

[Urukage]

Thanks for doing this review. I've been looking at options to help me get my legs moving due to advanced osteoarthritis and lymphedema in both legs and I think something like this would really help with movement and diminishing leg mass/swelling as a therapy option. So many options such as this have the potential to help with physical therapy and condition maintenance, if only I could get health insurance to cover it.

[killerkhatiby]

Coop, please review the MAXUM Fitness SX2 all-in-one. The community needs to know how good this thing is and there's nothing else quite like it!

[davidjfein]

I love that you are doing more reviews of single use machines. Please keep it up! Maybe do some chest press options, and maybe do some of the paramount equipment!

I liked the equipment history lesson- was great to learn about.

[therealer]

I'm waiting on the 1500 dollar stairmaster review. GIVE IT TO ME!! Lol
