Many thanks to this channel for testing so many products that get less visibility by other gym equipment reviewers. When I first saw Hybrid Resistance's review for the Quantum Trainer I was sold of the piece as it looked amazing. So I found the Quantum Trainer website to place an order but has some concerns about the legitimacy of the website due to its "no-frills" design. So, with that, I had some hesitation to buy one. Hybrid Resistance saw my comments on the video and within 24 hours, the owner Glenn reached out to me and provided the single best customer service experience I ever had with purchasing a piece of gym equipment...and I've been doing this for 30 years. While Glen's customer service was above and beyond anything I had previously, I can also say this piece of equipment is amazing!! It allows for so much "controlled" range of motion that, 1 month later" I am still discovering ways to do every day exercises that work for MY body type. After benching with 25 years of shoulder pain, I am now cranking out reps with nothing short of delight. The one take away I would give to someone looking at this piece is that the way the arms move and the simplicity of the machine's operation, you can tailor the angles and positions of the arms for the exercise you are doing to work with YOUR body type. To me, this is the genius of this piece...I do bench press with no shoulder pain, I squat with no back or knee pain, and I do rows that hit every angle of my back with a mere change in body position. As for cost, this is in the realm of Rogue quality but designed to be very simply to put together and move. Not Rogue :) That attachments and bench that are included would normally run well over the $1,000 area on other major retailers, so keep that in mind when you are deciding. And trust me, the bench is pretty darn good. It replaced my Powertec bench. Anyway...many, many thanks for Hybrid Resistance for reviewing this piece and Glenn at Quantum Trainer for the amazing customer service and piece of gym equipment.

Looks amazing but the price is tough to swallow. I guess if I was very limited on space I'd consider it, but it's competing on price with the digital gyms like Oxefit (think Oxe is a bit more but when you add the lat pulldown piece it will be closer). If you don't need the portability it might be a tough sell for the space saving crowd at this price point. Hell, the powertec is better on price and despite not being commercial grade, is rated for the same capacity. It does require more space though.

I know during summer, I'll for sure just have this set up in my backyard for some occasional outdoor workouts.

The universe couldn’t have chose a better person to speak on this machine. Very cool. Edit: didn’t realize the spotter arms were adjustable I was so confused. Makes total sense for the center post. Edit2: that lat pull down attachment looks gnarly to load for strong guys having to put 45 lb plates that high. I could probably use a plyobox to get that high to load it but probably won’t get the chance to try one of these in a million years. 💸 Can you do the vertical leg press motion while lying on the ground with the squat bar attachment?

I found 75 lbs resistance bands for my Gr8flex. The issue is that with 6 bands "450 lbs" I slide off the board. With lower weight, I can just hold the bottom of the board, but with more weight it's kinds of tougher. My arms and shoulders seem to get a better work out from holding the bottom of the board when using more weight.

@hybridresistance the gym I go to has things like Chest Press maxout at 300-350 lbs, considering this 220 lbs per arm, then that is better. But compared to squat rack, it probably won't do as much. So it does have its strengths, which is these independent swinging arms. The pad if designed could just go over the bar attachment you had. So it wouldn't need another attachment. Heck a pool noodle cut may help. But if you want duo pads for squat, that would be another attachment, maybe. You could Calf raises too!

@@hybridresistance A couple jammer arms with two-plane hinges that have come out I saw recently on a rack would be cheaper to about the same price, but with much more built in variety. The point of a simple design should also reflect in the price. Two thirds of the price of this Quantum Trainer seems to be in the 80% of metal framing that is the foundation. Just extrapolate that framing into a $100-200 half-rack and you've got a more affordable home system that more people would buy. This is a massive oversight that will lead to poor sales. 1) ISO Arms DIY Jammer Lever Arms | Home Gym Power Rack Attachment 2) The Ultimate Jammer Arms Build! Vendetta, GymPin, Rogue Fitness & More 3) Jammer arm adapter = better range of motion = now available! These three are right off the rip. It's 2024 and you can't hide from the highly available competition without clearly perceived benefits in features; no half measures or "might sorta be ok...but limited". I guess the mobility aspect is nice, but who's going to want to lug all the weights along with it for an "impromptu outdoor private class" or something? Hell, that gives me an idea for mobile anchoring system for the home made version. But that's a secret for now~ 😉

Something I didn't cover that you'll want a weight plate that has space for handles as my "Strength Co" weights can be so tight together that they're a pain to take off unless I put a spacer weight in-between.
