Arrived and was very well packaged, managed to break it all out and take to our workout area. Once we had everything unwrapped it was relatively easy to put together with just the two of us. I think I am really going to enjoy using this functional trainer. For the price it is really heavy duty, well made and

Best home gym equipment I ever purchased. My Peloton and this trainer make for a perfect home gym. Super smooth, for the price it’s unbelievable how good the quality is. You won’t be disappointed.

Excellent machine! I searched every major brand for an affordable, yet high quality functional trainer. While many good options exist, I kept coming back to the FTX due to how smoothly the cables operated, the flexibility of exercises available, ease of switching attachments and most importantly – the compact corner design. Do not hesitate to trust Inspire for your next machine.

Recently retired after over 40 years in the gym/fitness business, moved to 12.5 acres in the west central mountains of New Mexico, and started building my home gym in my 16’x7′ cargo trailer (the closest gym is 80 miles away). I thought that I was done, but was really missing a Functional Trainer, so checked on Costco and they had an Inspire FTX at a really great price, so I ordered one. It was delivered quickly, and I had to unbox it in the back of my truck, but got all the parts into the gym; I’m 69 years old, 5’4″ and 130 lbs, but it was not challenging at all to carry everything to the gym, which is about 40′ from my truck. Got everything assembled by myself, which was pretty easy since the towers were already assembled, and all I basically had to do was connect the 2 towers, insert the rods, stack the plates, and tighten everything up. I’ve had it now since 7/1, and use it 2-3 times a week (for back, chest, shoulders, bi’s and tri’s) and am really impressed with the quality and function of the FTX. I was used to Free Motion FT’s, but I don’t miss the arms at all, and get just as good a workout as on FT’s costing 4-5 times as much as I paid for the FTX, plus it came with a very high quality Inspire bench and an assortment of handles! I can’t recommend the FTX highly enough, and am so glad I found Inspire products!

this ftx is great.i got rid of my barbells and most of the plates.this ftx is so easy to use.so quick to change the weight and the exercise and with the cables changing angles too.

I have used functional trainers at the gym for years because of the ability to workout all of the muscle groups. That and a spin bike. I got tired of times when ‘my favorite’ trainer wasn’t available and a newly renovated space allowed me to get one for home, along with a spin bike as well. I shopped various trainers and ended up buying the FTX. I’ve had it coming up on a year now and am very pleased with the quality. One of the weights had an issue but customer service replaced with no delay. One end of tricep rope accessory pulled off when my nephew was working out (and weights came crashing down). I don’t use it so I haven’t pursued a replacement but I have no doubt if I contact customer service they would make good on that too.

Outstanding construction quality, versatile functionality, and all in a compact footprint for home use. The FTX is a very good value.

This was a Godsend! Due to covid, I was reluctant to join a gym but I have limited space to work out in. When I saw this, I had to have it. It takes only a corner of a room and I can do practically anything that I can do in a gym! I have raved to all my friends who are looking for a something like this.
joenrawlings –
Excellent equipment and service
warminwinter –
Great functional trainer with all the needed movements needed to keep me in great shape. The construction is super solid and the amount of room space it takes is small compared to what you can do with it. Thankfully you can order additional weight plates so you can up the amount of weight you are moving.

I use functional trainers at home everyday. It’s save space and I can do many workout in one. I’m very satisfied with this product. I would recommend to anyone.

FABULOUS FITNESS TRAINER!! We got this for our home gym, and it’s not only beautiful, but fits a small space easily in the corner. It is sturdy with plenty of weight to challenge my teenage boys who are strong! It is so versatile with many exercises and options to keep you coming back for more and never getting bored. This is a great piece of equipment all on its own. We are very happy that we bought it.

Purchased the FTX functional trainer for my garage gym. We have been very pleased so far with the FTX, very well built, smooth and has a ton of functionality. We love it and are looking to purchase more Inspire items in the future. This is a great piece with a ton of variety for our clients we train. We have even had a few clients purchase the FTX because they saw it in our gym. I would recommend the FTX to anyone looking for a reasonably priced functional trainer, that is well built and high quality.

Since I haven’t received it yet you really can’t expect much of a rating can you.

Top notch product and company. The shippers could have been better, but the product was outstanding, probably should have been in more than box as the shippers struggled to even get it into the garage.
The FTC was well boxed and nothing was damaged. Assembly was relatively easy, although I did it myself. 12 screws, and stacking the weights, inserting the center bar. The included weight bench was a little short for me (I’m 5’10) but I already have a taller one so no problem. FTC operates very smoothly and included extra touch up paint. Attachments are great. I ordered the straight bar with two attaching points.
After assembly, My son and I hauled the boxes to the dump and accidentally tossed the pins for the weights. The company was great about replacing them. And later when my son pulled on one of the cables he dislodged it from the pulley. Called the company who gave me instructions to correct the problem. Couldn’t be happier!!

Love our machine. We have had it for 2 years now. We use it 7 days a week between hubby, son and I. Heavy usage on this machine daily. It really does the job and doesn’t take up alot of space in our home gym. If you need something compact to put in your home gym this is the one for you. Also, follow the maintenance routine that is posted on this machine and you will have it for years to come.
