Had a pretty big issue with the length of the cable just hanging the weight up, and it wouldn't rest on the weights --it still worked, but it wasn't right. Customer service was great and is sending me spacers to fix the issue.
I then had an idea how to fix the lat pulldown issue and the bottom pin issue... so I moved the unit to the side. The weights still need those spacers, but I can used the bottom pulley and the lat pull down machine.
I had one box get lost in shipping, but Ritfit assured me they would ship me a new one as soon as they restock. They also offered me a gift card for the inconvenience. Solid customer service.
I am very pleased with RitFit. The delivery was quick and timely. Setup was straightforward and smooth & the machine functions much better than expected. It is heavier and solid than I originally thought and I have been pleasantly surprised. My trainer is even impressed! I would 10O% recommend.
Edited review: I decided to create my own platform to sit on top of the bar where your feet should be placed during a hip thrust and RitFit refunded me for the materials to create this solution vs. spending hours packing up the machine to return. I used metal diamond plate secured to a base made of standard lumber that fits over the bar on the floor and this created a stable platform that works pretty well. Besides this issue the machine does function as expected and overall worth it just want people to know about the hip thrust issue!
Original review:
Went to go try this machine out for the first time today and even though RitFit says it is possible to do hip thrusts on the PSR05, just know you absolutely cannot unless you are maybe 5 foot or shorter. The floor bar on the back prevents foot placement for a hip thrust and this is one of the main exercises I purchased this machine for. Disappointed in the lack of information and transparency on this and plan on calling tomorrow to get my money back.
Thank you for our awesome flag. We are loving this equipment both personally and for our clients. Looking forward to doing business with you guys in the future.
My only regret is that I didn’t buy it sooner. I definitely recommend this cage. I will be buying the peg board as I’ve added more accessories and need somewhere to put them.
Took about 4,5 hours to assemble but was very simple. I feel like the footplates are slippery, maybe should have a rubber coating on them, other than that I love this machine!
Better than I expected. This machine is very well-made. Assembly Instructions were super easy to follow. Every single nut bolt and washer was properly packed and labeled therefore, assembly time was very fast. I have very limited space in my garage gym and this machine fit perfectly for my needs and space..
Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der Beinpresse! Sie läuft extrem flüssig! Die Einstellmöglichkeiten sind super, man kann den Winkel der Platte oder auch vom Sitzpolster so einstellen wie man es braucht. Die abnehmbaren Gewichtsaufnahmen sind auch super! Gerade wenn der Platz etwas begrenzt ist. Ich lege die Gewichtsaufnahmen wenn ich nicht mit der Beinpresse trainiere unten rein und hole diese hoch wenn ich sie brauche. Auch das 4x Aufnahmen dabei sind um die Scheiben zu lagern ist auch super, welche ebenfalls abnegmbar sind. Aktuell brauche ich diese nicht, aber stark das diese dabei sind! Die Aufbauanleitung ist auch extrem gut! Sehr detailliert Schritt für Schritt alles beschrieben. Vergleichsweise habe ich nichts besseres gefunden für den Preis! Auch für Wadenheben sehr cool. Und Frontkniebeugen funktionieren auch super. Man kann sehr abwechslungsreich damit trainieren. Schön das RitFit nun auch in Deutschland erhältlich ist! Weiter so!
Great starter machine for our new at-home gym. Still waiting on the 35lb and 45lb plates but so far no complaints. Super easy to put together. Took two people 4 hours with putting together 2 adjustable benches. Super easy to follow instructions- all parts came in in great condition. No issues!
So I went with the M1pro with the weight stack and 370lbs weights and I love it .Did a lot of research on reviews before buying. It was simple to put together took a bit of time I want to say between 4-6 hours solo. The pulleys are smooth the bench is great an comfortable.the only thing I don’t like is the knurling on the smith bar it really doesn’t have any grip.I recommend wearing gloves . a couple of the attachments feel cheap and feel like they will need to be upgraded .plenty of plate storage. The weight stack definitely makes it secure it definitely isn’t moving anywhere.
We have our Gazelle in a very tight space, and therefore need to maximize the room on the lower trolley vs using the horns on the side. These steel plates have been great for this, taking up under half the room of deep dish plate each. We leave them loaded most of the time, and plan to get a few more to add to the weight we can fit without the upper removable horns mounted.
I had wanted to get the Gazelle Pro but we were very tight on space and went with the non Pro Gazelle instead to just save those few inches as they matter in my garage setup (need to be able to load / on load weight from the machine and rack next to it).
The dedicated grips to hold when in use were a plus over the Pro to me, I would have loved the thicker steel and bigger foot plate but it just wasn't in the cards in our space.
Overall it's been great, we had 2 damaged parts on arrival and RitFit quickly replaced both quickly. We don't use the side horns in our space but have loaded up on steel and deep dish plates to get enough weight onto the lower carriage.
Assembly was pretty easy and mostly 1 person job, some of the thin connector plates were warped, but tightening them down flattens them out, so don't be afraid to crank on them a bit.
For us it's been a perfect add on to the gym and at the price it's very hard to beat.
