The look, feel, functions, accessories are great. The cage is solid with minimum movement. It feels sturdy, safe, and is a great addition to create a home gym. Another great point was the height of the cage that fits well in my basement. This is a great value purchase. The cage has been in use for 3 months, and I feel confident that it will be lasting for a while. It a great home equipment, of course it is still not totally comparable to a professional gym, but is perfect level of intensity and provide a great diversity of exercises. The Drone 1 definitely delivers an impressive experience. Another great value from the manufacturer is their website which offers a few free training plan (beginner, fat loss, muscle building). The plans are simple and adapted to get full use of the product. Read more
I have been shopping for a quality budget rack for a few months, but was hesitant to place an order because there was always some lacking feature in the models that I had been considering... until I came across the Drone 1. The Drone 1 by Major Fitness caught my eye when it launched, as it has a compact but sufficient footprint (I have a small garage space to put this in), can hold a substantial amount of weight, and has a cable pulley system. It seemed like the perfect design for my use case. I'm fine being an early adopter of products that have good product information, however there were already a few user reviews that demonstrated how stable and capable the rack is, so I was completely comfortable ordering. The package arrived quickly and well packaged, in 2 large boxes. I found the assembly was easy, it took me about 2.5 hours to put together myself. Most of the bolts and parts are all the same, so there's no confusion over trying to figure out which parts go where. Which is great! I recommend using a socket wrench, it'll make the assembly process a breeze. I was missing 2 pieces for the pulley system and contacted the manufacturer - they responded immediately and sent me replacements promptly. No problem, it happens. I was pleased that the Customer service support I received was top notch, which inspires confidence in my future purchases from this manufacturer. I have worked out with this unit for about 2 months now, and am VERY pleased with this purchase. The rack can handle all the weight I need it to (<500lbs), and is very stable. The included accessories are all good quality, especially at this price point, and really add a lot of functionality to the rack. Some users have complained about the feeling of the pulley system, but I have found it to be pretty smooth. Add some silicone lubricant (like silicone WD-40) to the steel poles, and I feel no friction at all when pulling on the cables. I am very happy with my decision to buy this product. It is a sturdy cage, and I think it is worth every dollar. Even better if you can get it on a deal. 5/5 stars all around, both for the product, and for the Manufacturer support. I will buy more gear from Major Fitness in the future. Read more
Great sturdy squat rack with tons of accessories! Took about 2 hours to put together with a buddy. Have an impact driver and socket chucks for this, it cuts down the time a ton. Everything works great and I'm very satisfied with it. I have a very short basement; my floor joists are at 83" from the floor. The rack fit, but the pull up bar had to be situated between the joists to fit. The pull up bars could be flipped upside down if that's not an option for you. I could not install the pull up bar stabilizing rods because of my floor joists running parallel to the pull up bars, but it still feels very stable. I won't be doing too many pullups because of my low ceilings and my dislike for concussions 👌🏻. Great rack, give it a try! Invest in your health! Read more
Nice, decent to put together, the ropes sometimes get tangled but good price for set, no weights included Read more
This is a quality machine at a reasonable price. So far it seems really well built and pulley system is smooth. I would recommend it. The directions were overall good but a few items/steps in them were not clear and had to be assumed. It would also help if somewhere it showed all the possible exercises with this machine. I have googled it and checked their website and it is provided for other machines of this company but not this model. Also can not find if there are any accessories available for this model ,that would be helpful. Read more
