cant beat the rack
I purchased the rack the end of september 2011. Just been too busy to write a review. first and foremost, every one else's reviews are all true. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was that sometimes I feel that the rack could have been made a little deeper for allowing room to maneuver during different exercises. I had problems deciding on what brand of bench to buy and ended up going with the Fitness Gear adjustable (vertical down to decline) from Dick's sporting goods. So far so good. The bench has supported 375 pounds plus a 215 pound lifter, you do the math. (that's one thing to look for is how much the bench will actually support. Most only went to 350, Dicks version didn't say and it hasn't broken yet so we will see). The rack has had 585 in it and dropped on the safety catch pins and the thing didnt even budge. I was really surprised. I know they had to put a maximum number on the weight capacity of the equipment, but it will definately hold over 600! I would like...

Valor Athletics -- Quality Equipment
The previous reviews by murat meydan, Bob, and Andrew "Drew" are all correct. Just out of curiosity, I called Valor Athletics (I wanted to know the load limit on the attached pull up bar - 600lbs) and was pleasantly surprised to speak to the owner - Jim - as murat meydan mentioned. Jim was very knowledge about the equipment, its uses and specifications. I definitely came away with the feeling that if I did have a problem he would correct it.

As to the rack itself. It came in two boxes and all the pieces, nuts, bolts, and washers were there - a pleasant surprise. For assembly I would recommend both a socket and a lug wrench. I would also recommend completely assembling the rack first, then attach the Lat Pull. Also, the foam roller on the accessory bar is just that foam - have some duct tape available to cover and you would be set.

I'm 205lbs and with a 50lb plate the pull up bar didn't budge either with a close grip or a wide grip. The rack itself easily...

Good, not quite great.
I've completed weeks 1-3 and am in the middle of week 4. Here are my thoughts:

1. The product itself is rock solid. I'm not worried about straps breaking on me, they are VERY sturdy. The rotational aspect of them is fairly underwhelming; the straps don't slide that easily, and so the difference between these and TRX are just not that noticeable.

2. The door anchor... meh. You won't have a lot of clearance between the door and your feet with away facing movements, so your feet may bang on the door. The metal portion just below the strap that is the door anchor will also scratch your door up if you don't use the protective cover. Even with that, it still scratched up la quinta's bathroom door.

3. The DVDs: LOTS of recycled footage, which annoys me. You'll be very tired of the warmup and cooldown by week 3. Also, there is quite a bit of plyometric stuff, especially jumping jacks, so if you have issues with high impact, you might not tolerate the...

A challenging and balanced workout program
I had been thinking about suspension training for about a year and bit when it was an Amazon Gold Box special in December. I was aware of TRX, but when I looked at all the reviews, many cited the superiority of rip60. My purchase decision was based on good price, great reviews for the straps, and the inclusion of 12 DVDs.

The program is 8 weeks long and you workout with one DVD each week. Weeks 1-3 gradually build up in difficulty. Week 4 is a yoga routine to recover. Week 5 is a step up from week 3 in both time and challenge. Week 6 is the most challenging--it is longer by ~10 min, and then weeks 7 and 8 back off a bit from week 6. It seemed to me that weeks 6, 7, and 8 focused a bit more on cardio than strength. The exta workout called lean muscle is a pretty challenging strength workout thats lots of fun, but only 25 min long. After running through the program and the extra DVDs, I find myself repeating the week 3 and week 5 workouts....with some week 4...
AWESOME system and workout... but with IMPORTANT warnings
Review originally posted under an identical product listing for Rip60 on Amazon...

AWESOME system and workout... but with important warnings

This is an AWESOME system and workout. The workout covers everything: Balance, Agility, Flexibility, Endurance and Strength. It takes about an hour each time and runs four to five days a week depending on the week. In the time it takes me to drive to the gym and back I can get in a great workout and not leave the house and waste time along with gas and gym membership money. I absolutely love it.

In my opinion, the trainer (Jeremy Strom) knows what he is doing, why he is doing it, and is good at it.

Warnings:

(1) Finding a place to mount this system which has the required space available might be harder than it appears. I don't know if you would have a door would work like it shows in the advertisements and it won't work as well as on the videos (the straps are suspended freely in the videos)...
