So glad I bought this
Frame doesn't budge under my heaviest squats. J-hooks lock in cleanly. The Smith rails run silent even after months of use.

Perfect for tempo work
Shipping was fast, packaging was thorough, and assembly took two of us about four hours. Once built, it looks like a commercial machine dropped into my basement.

Support team was responsive
Storage pegs on the frame keep plates, attachments, and bands organized. My space actually looks cleaner than before.

Sturdier than expected

Exactly what my home gym needed
For a home lifter this is really the endgame. Squat, bench, deadlift, pulldowns, rows, curls, tricep work — all in one footprint.

Great value for the features
My partner and I both train and the dual stacks mean we can superset without swapping cables. Huge quality-of-life win.

The counterbalance sold me
Been using it for a few weeks and it's already my favorite piece of equipment. The pulleys glide, the frame is dead still, and the attachments cover everything I want to train.

Feels like a piece of pro equipment
Cable ratios are the killer feature. I run heavy pulldowns at 1:1 then flip to 2:1 for lateral raises. No plate loading, no waiting.

Perfect for tempo work
Bought the bench package with it — perfect pairing. Adjustable angles line up with the rack for incline pressing.

Rock solid build
Perfect for tempo training. The counterbalance lets me focus on the eccentric without fighting a heavy empty bar.

Best purchase of the year
As a taller lifter I appreciate how high the pulleys mount. Full range of motion on overhead extensions.

Great for hybrid training
The customer service team answered my questions within a day. Genuinely helpful, not scripted. Machine arrived exactly when promised.

Highly recommend the N1

Feels like it will last forever
Replaced a $70/month gym membership. Paid itself off in less than a year and I never have to drive to work out again.
