I’ve owned just about every rack out there. Williams/EliteFTS, Multiple Rogue racks dating back to their 7ga, and most recently, the Rep Ares. The Prime HLP combines the strength and durability of American steel and workmanship with no-details spared engineering. Truly a phenomenal product that will last for decades- I know this because I have strive machines which use the same exact bearings and trolley design for the weight stack and they are still as good as new nearly twenty years after manufacture. Beyond the engineering and design, the fit and finish is also incredible- the powdercoat is a hammer tone type and is some of the best paint work I’ve seen. I needed an all-in-one cable + rack setup and after selling my Rogue and Williams racks I fell for the Chinese trap and got Rep. The old adage couldn’t be more true with gym equipment- you get what you pay for. Eventually I got tired of the cheap materials; the final straw was when a Rep safety bent on me 😳. I went ahead and sold that piece of junk at half price and placed the order for the Prime HLP the same weekend. Worth the cost, it’s a forever rack with endless versatility. Save yourself the time and order it the first time, you won’t regret it.
The Prodigy HLP gives incredible functionality in a small footprint. With the equipment it replaced I have more floorspace and much more versatility. I am seven feet tall and can get full stretch on the lat pulldown (just not with the RO-T8 handles). Also I like the idea that if I move and have more headroom, I can add the height extension kit. The quality is mind blowing as was the packing. Arrived across the country in pristine condition. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase!
Overall I couldn’t be happier w my prime fitness gym. Customer service was great w ordering. Had some delays w shipping which were not Prime’s fault. However, there were a number of nuts and bolts missing from delivery which Prime quickly took care of. My only complaint is I thought I was buying equipment 100% made in USA… which was not the case. Cables, wheels and bearings have China written all over it which was disappointing since Prime claims made in USA all over website. Overall, my Prodigy 2:1 rack, half rack, bench and numerous accessories are phenomenal, commercially made equipment that I will continue to buy. There equipment is beyond versatile and has helped change my life forever. They continue to push development and I can’t wait to see what they have to offer in the future.
The HLP selectorized rack is fantastic. I did extensive research and settled on this vs. the competition and couldn't be happier I did. It's the perfect centerpiece for a home gym in a small space.
Best piece of gym equipment i ever bought. Options are endless. And the rack is made perfectly. The customer support in getting it to my home was painless and professional. I Will definitely getting more Prime pieces in the very near future.
