Best Praise

“It would be nice if they had rollers. I just installed them on my PR-5000 to use with my Athenas and honestly, I think this “they’re too heavy” issue has been exaggerated. Yes it’s super hard to lift by just grabbing the side handle, but with one hand on the handle and the other under the arm, it lifts pretty easily even without oil.”

“I just feel sad looking at your first picture. I Have a PR-5000 sat on my garage waiting for that Ares 2.0 since July 2024. REP sold me the dream of having it until the end of the year but it seems that the EU customers are being forgotten. Maybe is fair.. but well.. Some regrests of not going for the ATX is really starting on invade me. They have released their new racks with functional trainers for 3000€. REP PR-5000 + Ares 2.0 will be more than 4500€ in the end. Maybe I should have waited.”
