In our opinion, the ideal home gym or personal training studio houses equipment that both saves space and offers the maximum potential for resistance exercises. It allows for the racking/spotting of free weights, is versatile yet turn-key (incorporating elements such as machines, cable/pulley systems, elastic/band/suspension training hook points, etc), and is solid enough to be deemed commercial-grade. Bodyforce X9 Hybrid Gym offers this and more in an all-in-one, beautiful package.
There really is nothing like the X9. It’s open on both ends, making it excellent for fitness professionals to assist & observe their clients when performing an exercise. It’s perfectly balanced, remaining clutter-free from wherever you’re standing. The Bodyforce H3 Catalyst Bench (included in Package #2 on their site) can dock in place - even teleporting without detaching for quickly transitioning between exercises (or for performing actual exercises, such as a leg press). In sum, it’s a beast.
While the X9 offers incredible value, it is geared towards fitness, muscle-building, and strength enthusiasts as well as industry pros and competitive athletes; basically anyone who’s serious about their training. As such, pricing naturally reflects their target audience and usage purposes; that said, we’ve found through our research that the X9 costs less than most rack-based home gyms sporting approximately half of the features that the X9 offers.
If you’ve been searching for the best in home gym equipment, this truly is it.
