I have had this for a few months now. I bought it because I was tired of looking up at home alternatives to leg extensions, lying leg curls. This has increased the efficiency of my workouts a ton. I completely agree about the criticism of the adjustment knobs for the stabilization pads however I definitely didn’t destroy mine like that just had to take them out put that back in a few times to fix the threading. I did have some issues there though. I think you overstated the issue with having it permanently attached to the rack. I keep this on my main rack and with the attachments removed from the carriage it really doesn’t take up much space and putting on the seat, pads or handle is extremely easy to do. Storing them is another issue they do take up some space in my garage. I’m able to squat, bench press in the rack with carriage on no problem however I don’t have it mounted in the center like that but mounted to the outside of the post. I also leave the weight arm on it most of the time. I think they try to show it being a do it all product a little too much but for lying leg curls, leg extensions and preacher curls it gets the job done. I’m sure I’ll find some other uses for it but I would buy this with something in mind and not just thinking it can do it all.

I’ve had it for about 3 weeks and really like it! The product is as advertised with Coop’s point about ease of mounting is important. I have not had an issue with the plastic knobs. Very valuable for preacher curls and hamstring work.

I've had mine for months now, and I think this is a pretty fair review. I haven't had any problems with the knobs breaking though. I mostly use mine for leg extensions, hamstring curls, and preacher curls. Of course it does other movements but some things I'd rather just do using cables or free weights. Some other exercises it does well is hip thrusts and pullovers. I like to attach bands to the weight horn sometimes to address the resistance curve that is noticeable on longer range of motion exercises. I have to say, I'm pretty happy with mine. Are there times when I'm short on time and don't feel like setting it up? Yes. But I figured as much when I bought it. This thing brings a ton of versatility to my small gym space, and gives me options, so its worth it to me.

I love mine, in addition to the preacher curl movement you can also just use the pad with dumbbells. Besides the movements he mentioned I also like calf raises, ab crunches, back extensions and the list goes on. Great, heavy duty piece of equipment.

Super innovative product! I honestly gravitate towards using it for seated leg curls, leg extensions, standing unilateral leg curls, hip thrusts, and preacher curls. Doing that alone and saving space adds a lot to anyones home gym! If you have the cash and not a ton of space, it’s worth the buy. Good breakdown Coop

[Beecels]

I love my isolator, definitely filled a gap in my equipment at a price point that no other piece of equipment can do

[vintageweightspgh]

I was ready to pull the trigger on this one until I saw how tough it is to setup and remove from my rack. The main reason I was interested is that I have a small gym and don’t have room for a leg curl machine. But if I have to have this thing attached to my rack, I can’t use most of my rack. I hope Bulletproof can improve the manner in which it’s attached, make it easier to attach/remove. If they improve that aspect, I’m sold. Great review, man.

I ordered this the moment it was dropped. The BEST purchase i've made for my home gym outside of my rack. And tricep work feels great using a rope.

[daryoes]

Thank you Coop for great reviews and great service for the home gym community.

[bmbpets]

COOP! You’re the man. I watch your reviews even though I know I don’t want this product lol

I take everything off mine except for the trolley, and I just leave it sitting at the very bottom of my rack. Once you know your height settings taking the components on/off only takes about a minute or so. I've timed myself before, not trying to rush or hurry or anything like that. It was about a minute and a half. If for some reason you need the trolley off the rack completely, that takes even less time. 10 seconds to get it off and move out of the way. Like anything that requires a set up time, you have to be willing to use the time setting it up initially to know where your settings are going to be. After that it's really not bad. I don't feel like this is something that gets in my way, or that I would have to have permanently installed somewhere.

I have had mine for about a month and a half. I love this piece. I have the REP short rack with holes only on the front and back of my uprights. It sits on the bottom of my rack and does not get in the way on any other exercises I do in my rack. Its made very well and has so many functions. I havent had any issues as of yet and I am glad I spent the money for what it really is...Looking forward to what other attachments they will release to use with this product.

[mikeleddy]

Had mine for about a month when you go heavier on the attachment attachment/pop knobs. The threads on the inside break and it falls apart, but the customer service was great and they were fast to send new parts. Best addition to my home gym.

[davidkittow]

Would love to see it tested on a 2-2 and put it through its paces as the smaller racks are obviously cheaper and would make more sense to have as an always on attachment.
Especially one with a pulley system. See how well they work together to cheat the weight stack.

[LosFerrer]

I feel like waiting to a 2.0 version is a good move to an already great product.

[andrews]

I love mine. I sometimes add a stretch band to increase the resistance. I’ve not had the same issue with the knobs. Mine are fine. I also like it for triceps. Particularly using it for an extension while sitting with my back up against an upright bench and my elbows down on the pad. Great product.

[Taj]

I love the isolator! I don’t have space to have another rack for it. So I carefully plan and prepare my workouts if I have to take it off the rack or put it on

[Mikestuh]

This is my favorite attachment. Ive had it for a few months now (preordered it). I leave the carriage on my upright and have no issues benching or squatting. Setup is a breeze if you leave the carriage mounted with the roller. It can easily move up and down the upright as long as you don’t have all the attachments on it. Highly recommend this product.

Would be cool if they offered knurled knob upgrades 😂

[ak-zwjv]

Would be cool to get a single side rep athena. Bolt the upright to the wall and this to the front. Wrap the pulley around the weight horn and BOOM leg extension curl combo with a weight stack.

[robramirez]

I love mine, haven’t had any issues with it. One of my favorite things is how easy it was to assemble. And they let me come pick it up from their facility. Customer service is top tier and it’s something that makes my single car garage gym even more legit. Love using it for leg exercises and the preacher curl ability on this thing 😮‍💨
