Free-Standing F9 Fold-Away Functional Trainer
I was bracing for a complicated build but it was very straight forward. Easier with 2 people in a couple steps, but I was Ble to do it by myself. The screws, nuts, etc are placed in individual bags corresponding to what step you’re on (i.e., as easy as picking up the bag labeled “step 5” when you’re looking at step 5 of the instructions.)
There was one small piece that was missing; I emailed on Sunday night, got a response 6am Monday morning, and received the part on Wednesday.
My son and I are going to be HUGE pretty soon :)
Not a small investment but the equipment, build, and service all exceeded my expectations. Really impressed.
(Re: pic, i decided not to put the side coverings on at this point.)
I’ve only been using this for about 10 days and can’t believe how much better I feel. Great value for the price.
Well made
High customer support
I got my F9 a little over a week ago and have been generally very pleased. Giving it five stars overall, but it’s not perfect. There are some areas where torque could improve the product at this price point.
It was easy to assemble despite the somewhat lacking instruction manual. It really helps to use the PDF version because the printing quality of the manual is rather poor and it can be hard to make out details. Luckily, the quality of the drawings is good in the PDF. Still, would it kill you to make a video?
One particularly cool thing about the F9 is the ability to adjust the width. I’m a big dude with a big arm span. Most functional trainers are 48 inches or less between the pulley rods. This is great for things like chest press, but too narrow for an ideal fly. With the F9, I can pop it open to wide mode and it adds another 10 inches between the pulleys. That makes for a lot more flexibility. I honestly didn’t care about being able to close it and never do. I bought this because I could vary the width and have been very pleased with that flexibility.
Build quality is great although it’d be nice to see aluminum pulleys instead of plastic. It’s not a big deal, but aluminum pulleys look way better and at this price point, they should at least be an option.
The one disappointing aspect of the F9 is one that is the same for most functional trainers. The attachments are mostly mediocre. The D handles are not terrible but it’s such a coincidence that the best grip pattern for the D handles is the torque logo. The foot attachment is not very useful for anything but kickback and even then, it’s not great.
The straight bar is nice though. Some knurling or positioning marks would be helpful, but it’s a nice bar. The squat harness is very cool too. It works perfectly and is pretty comfy. The strap is also basic, but useful.
I’ve already purchased replacements for almost every attachment. The only ones I’ll use long term are the harness and the strap.
Overall, the F9 is fantastic. I’d highly recommend one for anyone looking for a home functional trainer. I’m 6’ 2” and it works for me, but anyone taller might find it a little short. You also have to think of attachment length. For example, I got a 24” tricep rope instead of the more standard 28 inch.
