Title: Versatile, tiny footprint, safe workout, solidly built. GREAT PRODUCT!!!
Review: In short:Space Saver- you could get a weight machine, and you can probably do all the things Maxpro can do, but you dedicated the room to the machine. You have a home gym, but that's it. With Maxpro, I have a room I can use for weight training, yoga, sewing, Guitar Hero...Versatility- it can do everything a weight machine or a Bowflex type machine would do (but taking up a fraction of space). Dumbells- sure, I thought about getting hundreds of pounds of metal, but then, doing a lateral pull would be an issue. Maxpro provides training in any direction! I love doing those punching exercises, as well as squats, and lateral pulldowns. All in one small package. Amazing.Safety- I'm not worried about any weights dropping, or something snapping (whether it be a cable or my neck :O) Maxpro feels so safe.I'm a mechanical engineer, and I research stuff to death before I make a decision. Yes, one of those people. When I was searching for a home gym, since I got rid of my gym membership... I wanted something versatile. I'm also kind of person who want options, but I'm not a buff guy. I looked at big names like Bowflex and Nordictrack. I looked at their home gym setup, and also their nifty dumbell sets. They all had major issues. If you see the photo of my Maxpro setup, it doesn't really get in anything's way (other than the mat, which is 4'x8' for your reference). If I had spent the same money getting one of those conventional home gym setup, my tiny room would be full with the setup! I didn't want this gym towering over me in this multi-purpose room I use for hobbies, and many other things. Even the smallest setup would have taken something like 6'x4' PERMANENTLY. Maxpro does wonders in that area. It takes next to no space. You need space to workout, but except for that 10 minutes a week (:O), the space is yours!Build is great. It's substantial. It reminded me of Iron Man... It's all aluminum... not that Iron Man would have been built with Aluminum, but Maxpro feels great. It feels solid, quality made. You get what you pay for (in a good way!).I notice that some people think this is expensive. I mean, for the same price, you could get a towering hunks of metal that will sit in your room, taking up maybe 6'x6' or more permanently. Maxpro did everything home gym did in a small packaging. If you want more hunk of metal, why would one buy Mercedes when you can get a semi-truck for the same price?I also find some people don't like the whole concentric exercise, etc. There's very informational video on the Maxpro Facebook site, and it's not a sales pitch- they're just saying that different exercises serve different goals. I'm not a big guy, and I work out to stay healthy. I didn't notice anything less because of concentric exercise part. In fact, I'm much big of a fan of it now. One big reason is, it doesn't feel like the machine's going to explode. What I mean is, when you use a weight machine or Bowflex, there's this huge energy build-up. Even the cheap elastic bands are going to store energy when you're extending them twice the original length. Imagine bench pressing 200 lbs with a dumbell or a weight machine, and you can't drop it safely, or something snapping, and there's no one spotting you. That's going to come crashing down and do something- at the least make horrendous noise, or at the worst injure someone or your dog. With Maxpro, you put in the effort, but without feeling like something is going to break or explode. I love that.And there's this cool App. There are many exercises you can search (almost too many) for. It also has these "coached exercises." It feels just like a personal trainer, and the video eases you into using Maxpro seamlessly. I'm in the process of trying all of it to see which I like the best, and just to get used to using Maxpro. I say those coached exercieses should be the first thing you try if you get Maxpro. Maxpro connects to your phone's bluetooth, and it counts the reps for you, etc- pretty nifty.Overall, I'm a big fan. It's compact, versatile, easy to use. It feels solid built, unlike some questionable products. I wrote this lengthy review because I'm convinced that Maxpro made a great product, and they definitely deserve the attention!

Title: Would give it 4.5 stars if I could...
Review: 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.

Review: The tension on the lines are uneven and jerky. It's a really poorly manufactured or designed system. It's really too bad because the idea is great and the hardware seems like it's decent quality, but that uneven and sporadic tension in the bands is no good.

Review: Der gröÃte Pluspunkt ist natürlich der geringe Platzbedarf. Selbst nur mit der MaxPro alleine kann man alle Muskelgruppen trainieren. Mit einer Bank (es muss auch nicht zwingend die offizielle sein) und der Türhalterung (enthalten) hat man noch viel mehr Möglichkeiten. Im Gegensatz zu Widerstandsbändern kann man hier aber besser steigern (in kleineren Inkrementen) und es geht auch schnell. Zu beachten ist dass der Widerstand nur in der konzentrischen Phase entsteht. In der exzentrischen Phase hat man keinen. Finde ich persönlich aber auch nicht schlimm. Je nachdem was man für Ziele hat, ersetzt das natürlich kein vollwertiges Gym, aber wenn man keine groÃen Ziele hat bzw. für unterwegs ist das Ding perfekt. Der Preis ist allerdings übertrieben hoch. 500-1000 fände ich angemessener. Ich spiele mit dem Gedanken meine sonstigen Gewichte zu verkaufen, was mich aber abschreckt ist dass ich die Haltbarkeit nicht einschätzen kann. Selbst Ersatzteile wie die Seile sind nur umständlich zu bekommen (weil Versand fast nur aus bzw. in die USA möglich) und benötigen dann vermutlich auch das nötige handwerkliche Geschick.
