Loves their 93-inch Ares 2.0: good stretch on lat pulldowns, rows are okay, their Nighthawk fits inside the rack, and REP support has been phenomenal.
“You’re right about the buy once option. I expect this thing to outlive me. It’s very nice, REP customer service is phenomenal, and I currently have no real complaints.”
Owns a 6-post Ares 2.0 and found its central low pull points, with the posts to hold onto, make cable adductor/abductor work better than a dedicated machine, saving space and money.
“I bought a REP Ares 2.0 and was expecting to still want a dedicated abductor/abductor machine. Now, I don't think I need it. In fact I think it just isn't that good in comparison.”
Owns a launch-edition Ares 2.0 on a 93-inch PR-5000 and is very happy with it.
Sold the REP ISO arms they never used and bought the Ares 2.0, which they now use every day and find much better.
“Get the Athena. Iso arms are such a pita i never used mine. Sold em, got the ares 2.0 and use it every day. So much better.”
