MAXPRO SMARTCONNECT: Full-Body Fitness Machine w/Bluetooth | Burn, Build Tone (Cardio, Strength, Circuit & HIIT Training w/ 5-300lbs of Concentric Resistance), Portable & Compact Weighs 9lbs

no complaints!

At first Amazon sent the wrong maxpro without the smartconnect but got it a week later other then that you’ve seen the videos it’s the real deal

Resistance feels like actual weight not like what you feel from a loop strength band. Which is a stretchy feel. Quick to adjust weights and comes with bars/ankle straps/handle straps. The maxpro definitely feels complete when coupled with the bench and the wall rack. Rack is well built and provide different angles. Bench is very solid and provides even more variety. Using the maxpro on it provides so much versatility as doing incline movements on it is based on the angle of the cable so no real need to have an incline bench. This is a great piece of equipment that filled in the gap in my home gym. Already have 90lb powerblock dumbbells with an adjustable bench. I was using strength bands with wall hooks top/bottom to get different angles definitely not good enough for muscle building. After a week of maxpro doing back movements I see more development in my upper back. It can do all of the cable exercises you would do at the gym at home now. Even can do leg extensions and leg curls with the bench with ease. It was weird not having eccentric resistance. I made the adjustment and squeezed and held it for 2 seconds at the top of the movement. Doing lat pulldowns and other rowing motions on this had my back sore in areas i have not felt sore in the past. I can't compare it to Tonal or Mirror as those take up a large footprint and the maxpro is really tiny so I can't expect the world out of it but it is definitely good enough. The Tonal has eccentric resistance but requires a $50 membership and thats an expensive retention price just for that. If they come out with a new version that provides eccentric resistance I do not think I would upgrade as I feel holding it for that extra squeeze is all I need. In summary I like it and haven't felt this excited to work out in a long time. The wife and I enjoy using it and we fight over using it sometimes :)

Overall I'm very impressed with the Max Pro. It is an engineering marvel that provides portable resistance unlike anything I've ever seen.The main reason I bought the Max Pro is because I've found that one of my biggest weaknesses is that I'll get into a habit of working out and then I'll go on vacation or a business trip and get thrown off completely.I have no such excuse with the Max Pro. I'm writing this review now having worked out with the maxpro 5-6 times per week for about 9 weeks now. (Almost exclusively on the Max Pro)I would put myself in the intermediate lifting experience category. I lifted for 5 years in high school 3-4 times per week very consistently. As a dad and husband, my time for the gym has waned and I've been out of the habit for almost 10 years now.One of my biggest concerns with the Max Pro was that the science on concentric resistance seemed to be a little bit conflicting. Some studies showed similar muscle growth (slightly less with concentric). Others showed less cross fibers with concentric.I'm happy to report that I can see substantial muscle growth after just two months. My strength gains are definitely more on the concentric side. When I go back to the gym with weights, I can tell I have more strength while pushing the weight up versus trying to do a slow eccentric movement. It's kind of interesting.I use mine primarily with the Wall Track which allows me to do almost everything I would do in the gym. I lift somewhat heavy, so it makes me a little nervous when I'm doing a 200 pound chest press and I'm relying on the strength of the studs in my walls. With heavy weights, I'm nervous to do anything on a single side (such as a tricep pushdown with a rope attachment) because I don't feel the walltrack is sturdy enough.The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it has some quality issues that at this price point really shouldn't be there.I swapped one out under warranty for a few issues and all of the issues were there on the second one. The clips that hold out the cable are not tight enough. As such, the cable slides back in slowly. This is especially problematic with suspension training. This seems like something that could be solved easily with a stronger spring.The thing also seems to have some funny issues with turning off after use. It would be really easy to have it automatically turn off after non-use for 20 minutes. Yet sometimes it will just die overnight because it doesn't turn off and is connected to bluetooth for an extended period of time.I don't love that you have to recalibrate it. I understand for the technology it's a must, but seems like there should be a way around it.Lastly, I do like the app a lot and have used it almost every time. It has some unique querks and idiosyncrasies that make it less than ideal.I would say overall, I'm pretty pleased but the next generation will likely hit that sweet spot.

If you workout barefoot this thing is very uncomfortable on your feet. The stepping area should have been shaped as a foot which could also guide people away from breaking the hinges. I also wish the weight (pounds/kilos) was written next to the cable strength numbers so first time usee that arent new to the gym can get a good starting point.I wish the cables had lines drawn across them so we can evenly lock them accurately so the weights are even.But the main problem is that there is almost ZERO chest workouts with this thing unless you use the wall mount to do chest flies. You cant benchpress with this thing unless you buy their bench as an extra. The maxpro app literally have to add PUSHUPS as a chest exercise on their app because of how limited this thing is for chests. Maybe include a small padded bar you can place on top of the maxpro so you can do floor benches
