Apparently, there is a guy who makes gym equipment, too.
I e-mail, asking how much a Rogue R3 copy would be, seeing as how his website says that he makes equipment similar to Rogue. He also has some pictures of equipment, including a lat pulldown, so I ask about that.David has been designing and building over 90 pieces of weightlifting equipment since 1981. His equipment has been used by the Indianapolis Colts, colleges, high schools, commercial gyms, reformatories and private residences for many years. To say it is commercial grade equipment is an understatement. In recent years as the CrossFit scene has made its way to the United States we have fabricated many rigs that are in use in several local gyms. Our rigs our custom built to our clients specifications and are similar in design to that of Rogues, but at a much lower price point.
Although, I am a little suspicious if this lat pulldown is actually his design/build or if that is just a generic pic.
I get a response within 4 hours that he does the rack for $350, and the lat pulldown is $350 plus the weight stack. Great. I respond with a couple additional questions asking if everything is built to order, if he has things on hand, if I can come check anything out, etc. No answer. A week later, I follow up a again. No answer. 8 days later, still no answer.
No point to this thread. I'm just venting here
