5 months in. Still going strong.
It's small, stores away easy, and you can put it under your couch. The resistance is genuinely solid — I started at level 4 and I'm already at 8.

"I haven't seen my arms look like this since college."
Started at level 4 because that's where I could do 12 reps without my form breaking. Twelve weeks later I'm at level 9. The thing that worked: it lives next to the couch.

Why we exist
We obsess over the small things, so you don't have to think about them.
Most home gym equipment is built to a price point. Ours is built to an experience.
When you open the box, the hex tool is right where you expect it. The setup card explains things in plain English. The hydraulic cylinder feels solid the first time you pull it. The 12-week program is already in your inbox before you finish unboxing.
None of these are accidents. They're choices we made because we wanted you to have a product that just works — the way good products are supposed to.
We're a small team. We're not the cheapest. But everything we ship, we ship knowing someone like you will open it on a Tuesday evening and use it for the next five years.

Tested all 15 levels.
I went through every resistance level to see if the higher ones were just for show. They aren't. Level 13 had me actually struggling.

Skeptical, then surprised.
Honestly thought this was going to be junk that ends up in the closet. It's not. Hydraulics feel solid, the resistance jumps are real.
