I just found out I live 20 mins from a REP showroom/warehouse this past weekend😭 had the chance to try out all of their equipment as well check out all their colors. This company is INCREDIBLE. High quality AND affordable price.
I like this machine. It felt like a quality piece when I was able to test at Home Gym Con 24. It was also nice Ryan from Rep was there to help and answer any questions.
I am a HUGE REP fan. If I didn’t already have the PR5000 with the Ares, I would absolutely look into this one. So well done. Thanks so much for the great review.
Between the Ares 2.0, Adonis, REP x PEPIN adjustable dumbbell, Pegasus seat... they just keep coming. Most others look like they are just trying to keep up at this point.
Would love to see the comparison with Rogue. The only thing that makes me hesitate on this is the size of the stack. Rogue's is 300lbs. With how REP approached Ares 2.0, I kind of just want to wait for Adonis 2.0 since I'm certain a 300lbs version is coming.
It looks like a great piece, But here's the thing that will keep me from buying it. There's no option for a 4000 series style upright on the front. I've got a ton of money invested in a 4000 series rack with a bunch of accessories that would be nice to use on this, but won't be able to. And I'm not going to double up on certain items because that defeats the purpose of staying in one ecosystem. They need to make a version for a 4000 Series front upright.
FWIW, you can get a Kaizen DIY pin adapter / sleeve to slide over your 5/8s inch attachment so it fits within 1”. I have a couple for when I still owned a Rogue ML and then transitioned to 1” hardware. There was a period where I was still using my old attachments before I slowly upgraded each of them. The adapters did the job well without any fuss.
Rogue is shooting themselves in the foot not releasing more media on the CTM-1 while REP gets all the attention. Meanwhile, REP scrambling to fill orders before the CTM-1 is released. Notably, they both seem to have a similar footprint on the weight stack options. The shorter stack on the Adonis facilitates it's longer cable travel than the CTM.
I think they should make an adonis brother where there wouldn't be any low row and lat pulldown so you can just have the full functional trainer. I like the idea that i could choose how wide the unit would be as a functional trainer, but I wouldn't the second latpulldown and lowrow unit
I wish I could fit any cable stack in my tiny home gym, but sadly it won't work. Instead I ended up getting a few nice pullies, a loading pin and cable machine cable (which is really hard to cut). I can't use it for everything, but I'm set for unilateral lat pulldowns 🤣 Those have actually been surprisingly effective...
My Low budget keeps getting higher(. SInce this is a garage gym channel then maybe some stuff on upgrading your Garage? AC units, garage door insulation, best speakers for the heat, best mini fridge? Or a new channel Upgrademygymreviews.
Got confused by the intro, was watching a video before this about a few youtubers rating american pizza, straight into this video, thought you were in the ending as a cameo...
I want to see an Adonis 2.0 with a higher or angled foot plate for the low row so I have the option to sit on a bench. A common depth so I can use it with an Athena. And an option for an 80" height.
I feel like everyone is so excited about reinventing the wheel. Hoist Fitness has had this same set up but includes leg curl/extension. Coop show some of those options./companies. This is a semi-functional trainer because it’s missing options that have been featured on other machines years earlier.
@@mikejensen1473Hoist has a huge home gym lineup. People I guess are not aware of that. I have their V4 in my home gym now which is the reason I commented on this post. Maybe Coop can feature their equipment so people are aware of that option. The V4 I have is at least 15 years old now and basically same as this Adonis but with a leg curl/extension option. You could even add a leg press to it if you want. Rep is just reintroducing what has already been done.
That may be going away in the future. Can’t see companies continuing to do this,after the ATX Trinity Pull-down . And older home pull-downs did have the option to sit me do low rows. No idea why they got away from it
Curious question, in your opinion, would it be better to get this and attach to rack rather than get the Ares 2.0? Assuming there is enough floor space
How would it be for belt squats? I know you would have to start at the bottom and use plates/blocks to stand on but looks like the low cable can travel vertically?
I have a space that’s about 6’x4’ to lift in my bedroom, in my San Francisco apartment. I watch these just for fun. This crap is way above and beyond anything I would ever buy. You’d laugh if you saw my setup.
It is way too expensive. Just buy a used weight plate loaded lat machine. I bought a used heavy-duty weight loaded lat machine for $150. You can buy an entire home gym for the price of the REP Adonis Cable Tower: A power rack, a 300 lb Olympic Set Barbell Set, dumbbell handles, a weight-plate loaded lat machine, a landmine, a monolift, cable attachments, an adjustable kettlebell, a loadable mace, and a free standing pull-up/dip station for what you would pay for the REP Adonis Cable Tower.
I got to try this at Home Gym Con and it is very nice. I wish the lat pull-down came out over the seat a little more. It felt a little too close to the upright. I guess I’m in the 1% that wants more than 210 lb for the base stack. For that reason, I’m more interested in the Rogue CTM-1 with a 300 lb stack. Though neither is high on my list as I’ve already pre-ordered a Rogue FM-6 twin add-on for my RM-6.
It’s beautiful, but at that price I won’t own one for a while- may just grab bells of steel’s plate loaded standalone for $700 (includes a local pickup discount)
I use a 6 inch jump block for my low row as a seat it works well. Gets you up off the ground and is soft on your ass. It's also leather usually so it won't move around on a gym floor. It's also a great angle for low row. At least for me it make it feel the closest to a seated row machine. Because you are pushing down on the foot pads slightly like a row machine. Allows me better form and better stretch then just on the floor.
My personal problem is that I can't find any functional trainer available in UK and nost likely will buy first available one even if I would love to get rep one 😢
I’m in the Titan ecosystem currently, and whilst this looks awesome, I’d wonder how it would compare (at least solely plate loaded) to the Titan Plate Loaded Functional Trainer. Titans been stepping it up recently and their PLFT has both a lat pulldown and low row 1:1 and trollys (plural) that are 2:1. Would you do a comparison for us budget minded? On sale at $850 recently it seems like a better value option but I’d love to hear your thoughts.
That price for 2 moves is legit insane. A full rack with cable system from major dutie is 600 bucks. Is it fancy? No. Will it replace so many pieces of equipment for under a grand? Hell yes
This is way better. Thinking of the ATX Trinity Pull-down though. It technically has more than two movements though. Single stack, low row, and pull-down
@@fatboitino2 of course is better quality, just dumb to spend 3k on something so limited. My whole home gym nuts to bolts probably is barely 3k and I can do everything I want.
I don't get why Coop doesn't understand that the bearings of the pulleys matter and not the material. Many commercial and perfectly smooth machines use plastic
I disagree. I've replaced like for like pulleys with the only difference being material and there's a clear difference in the way it feels. Not life changing or anything, and probably not worth the price tbh, but there's a difference.

great idea!!!!!
Seriously bc these instructional videos suck for the most part
Assembly Sam channel!!
Cracking idea
He’s not assembling anything
I like where home gym equipment has been going and rep has innovatived a lot recently.
A weight upgrade would reduce the range of motion. That's why they added the weight horns instead.
Can’t wait to see you compare this one and the Rogue. Great video and thanks for the info, Coop!

Great review. Can’t wait to see the Rogue stand alone and FM reviews
Yes compare this to the prime single stack and then try putting the prime foot plate on the Adonis. Please
Between the Ares 2.0, Adonis, REP x PEPIN adjustable dumbbell, Pegasus seat... they just keep coming. Most others look like they are just trying to keep up at this point.
What's REP x Pepin???? Ohhhh, you mean the REPPINS???? Call them by their proper name.
They did a great job on this. Just wish it wasn't so wide.
That’s what she said.
Have it. Love it!
Would love to see the comparison with Rogue. The only thing that makes me hesitate on this is the size of the stack. Rogue's is 300lbs. With how REP approached Ares 2.0, I kind of just want to wait for Adonis 2.0 since I'm certain a 300lbs version is coming.
Been waiting for Coop's review before I order this bad boy. Probably my most anticipated release in a while.
Would love a comparison with the rogue and the prime stand alone.
Arcadia Max review coming soon?
A rep Hyperion set up but it’s two of these Adonis with a pr-5000 16” rack in the middle…….its like a few hundred bucks more
I’ve had the BOS version and honestly it’s been amazing, especially for the cost.
It looks like a great piece, But here's the thing that will keep me from buying it. There's no option for a 4000 series style upright on the front.

@@djbakasan that's going from 5/8 attachments to 1 inch hole. Can't fit 1 inch pin into 5/8 hole
@@ak-zw8jv You can with enough lube. Just ask my wife. 🤭
great review! would be nice if you could touch more on the stretch compared to commercial pieces, would you recommend for 6 ft+ people, etc.
thanks for the video
You gotta love how they charge full price for the seat when you include it with the Adonis. They should have given a discount for the bundle.
Rogue is shooting themselves in the foot not releasing more media on the CTM-1 while REP gets all the attention. Meanwhile, REP scrambling to fill orders before the CTM-1 is released. Notably, they both seem to have a similar footprint on the weight stack options. The shorter stack on the Adonis facilitates it's longer cable travel than the CTM.
The only thing missing from my home gym is a full dumbell set and some sort of pully system. This looks very enticing for the price.
I think they should make an adonis brother where there wouldn't be any low row and lat pulldown so you can just have the full functional trainer.
I like the idea that i could choose how wide the unit would be as a functional trainer, but I wouldn't the second latpulldown and lowrow unit
Yeah, they need an Adonis Lite version
Great video as always, Coop. If you could only choose one, Voltra vs a full cable tower, which would you choose?
I thought I wanted one but leaning towards the Aries 🎉😂because of the integrated power rack!
REP KILLING IT
I wish I could fit any cable stack in my tiny home gym, but sadly it won't work. Instead I ended up getting a few nice pullies, a loading pin and cable machine cable (which is really hard to cut).

I think it looks sweet. Only caveat for me is, that the pegasus attachment only allows for a body weight of 300lbs.
Got confused by the intro, was watching a video before this about a few youtubers rating american pizza, straight into this video, thought you were in the ending as a cameo...
I spy an F35 😍🤩
Can’t wait for that review
One rep, everyone knows the rules….
Should be this for all equipment reviews going forward
It's deep, not wide.
I want to see an Adonis 2.0 with a higher or angled foot plate for the low row so I have the option to sit on a bench. A common depth so I can use it with an Athena. And an option for an 80" height.
test the pegasus on prime single stack
Are you going to do another video on the pegasus seat attachment?
Yes....he said he was in this video. Did you not watch it?
I feel like everyone is so excited about reinventing the wheel. Hoist Fitness has had this same set up but includes leg curl/extension. Coop show some of those options./companies. This is a semi-functional trainer because it’s missing options that have been featured on other machines years earlier.
I have to agree Hoist has been there a long time. But rep is shooting for home gyms while hoist has never marketed to that customer.

Need a review on the Arcadia max asap
Hi Coop, I can't seem to find a lat pulldown / low row, where the low row has a seat! What would you recommend? Thank you!
Someone needs to make a latpull/lowrow that is shorter and narrower. Make it able to be wall anchored to remove the need for some type of base.
Nice machine for my area
For 3,000$ I’d like to not be sitting on the floor for horizontal pulls.
That may be going away in the future. Can’t see companies continuing to do this,after the ATX Trinity Pull-down . And older home pull-downs did have the option to sit me do low rows. No idea why they got away from it
@@fatboitino2Sean Axt trinity is the way 2 Go
How does it compare to to the ATX trinity tower that should be available in the USA soon? ( Review the TYTAX Mx Coop!)
Trinity is better in my opinion . I would get one for sure if they had a low ceeling Version…. :/
So excited for mine!
Ordered since March 22nd, still waiting on delivery.
Wow, that's quite the lead time
Wow, what was your expected ship by date?
@@hermsdog02 31st July
Ordered 22nd March
Bells of steel is 2k and is nice

Please review the forceusa C10 and the sliding bench.

How would it be for belt squats? I know you would have to start at the bottom and use plates/blocks to stand on but looks like the low cable can travel vertically?
For those that have the Adonis, when did you preorder it and when did you receive it?
Dude I thought I clicked on the wrong video lol
Hahaha I did a double take at the title and thought I was going crazy
Same, I was worried they were going to talk about gym equipment and not get into that cauliflower crust debate that we're all here for
It’s a nice piece but still pricey for what it is. Might as well save for an all-in-one solution.
please review prime fitness hlp selectorized rack 2:1
Still hoping for that Maxum SX2 review.
Does it make more sense to just get the lat pull-down low row attachment for the 5000 over this? I already have the rack, but I need asvice
As expected, good stuff. Where is Sam? I don't see him these days.
I have a space that’s about 6’x4’ to lift in my bedroom, in my San Francisco apartment. I watch these just for fun. This crap is way above and beyond anything I would ever buy. You’d laugh if you saw my setup.
Great video as always! Now I want some pizza.
Coop any word on when Bulletproof fitness is dropping their competition to this unit?
It is way too expensive. Just buy a used weight plate loaded lat machine. I bought a used heavy-duty weight loaded lat machine for $150. You can buy an entire home gym for the price of the REP Adonis Cable Tower: A power rack, a 300 lb Olympic Set Barbell Set, dumbbell handles, a weight-plate loaded lat machine, a landmine, a monolift, cable attachments, an adjustable kettlebell, a loadable mace, and a free standing pull-up/dip station for what you would pay for the REP Adonis Cable Tower.
Rep has taken over the #1 spot in equipment. They leading the pack in pushing innovation.
Coop still over here trying to give Rogue the Hawk Tuah .
Ask 100 people Rogue or rep and see what' they'll choose. Rogue is the king period
How tall is this unit in the back? The top is slanted upwards. I understand its 92" in the front.
Planning on buying the Rogue, looking forward to the comparison!
Quite a bit less cable travel on that one. Also not set up for corner placement
Great review! Can't wait to see the Rogue review. I read some where that the cable travel on the Rogue is an issue.

Review the new Rogue lat tower please!!!
theyre not even on sale yet...
Feel like that Rogue CTM-1 either wouldn't exist or would be starting at like $3500+ minimum if Rep wasn't pushing the market so much.

Costs more than my entire homegym, including my treadmill.
Right, why does this cost more than their full fledged functional trainers?
Dummy question - can you do cable flys with this??

I would have bought this day one if you could be turn it into a half rack. (Without buying 2)

ATX Trinity Tower>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This is really really nice but no 2:1 cable
