Welcome Andrew. Legend equipment is well respected here. I have spent a number of paychecks there. The new facility is awesome.

Andrew, glad to have you here. I love the Legend equipment I've got , and would like to add some more in the future.

I met Andrew while visiting the Legend Facility. He is great guy!

Hi Andrew,

I love the looks of the equipment you guys make. I wanted to ask...does your company accept individual requests for modifications on your equipment? Such as, for a residential sale of a power cage (like the #3121 or #3121v) could a customer request a specific height for the cage to accommodate a low ceiling for an extra fee? If not the #3121, would it be possible to do so for any of your other cages or half racks even if it might mean losing weight horns?

Thanks for the info in advance!

Hello and we can do a Custom Modification to your cage/rack for an additional fee of $50. For example, if you are wanting a 3121 and needed it cut down to 84" from the standard 88"....it would be $50 upcharge to make that happen. My email is andrew@legendfitness.com, so email me if you need quotes or anything of that nature and I can get you a pricing/freight quote. Thanks for the question and have a great day!

Always awesome to have reps around. Welcome to the forum.

[xephonics]

Very nice to have another rep to talk to on the boards, it could really help some of our Legend based questions we tend to get.

Welcome to the forum.

[AttyGuy]

Andrew, glad to see you here. I've been wanting a 3133 for a long time. I will be in touch!

[BIgOrange865]

Welcome Andrew. I live in Knoxville and will be visiting your store soon. Interested in the Simmons rack in orange of course....
Will be in touch

Welcome to the forum! The 4 way utility bench is on my list of wants. It has to wait for a couple of other things, but it is really nice and got nothing but great reviews here.

Glad to finally see a Legend Fitness guy here. Just a bit too late for me, though (just ordered a rack from another vendor). I got a quote for a Legend rep, who told me that the customizations I asked for were not possible - which is disappointing for a home gym, where customization is paramount.

Specifically, I wanted the Legend 3133, with the following:
-raised lower crossbars for sumo stance (not sure why it's not available when it's available on the power stations)
-drilled holes for bandpegs instead of welded bandpegs (welded bandpegs do no allow deadlifting in the rack unless you use a spacer on the bar - really unnecessary)
-walk through design
-spotter arms that fit the entire space (front to back) between the main front and back uprights - that way I can use them both as safeties and as spotter arms on the outside of the rack

Here is the email response I received

1. We offer a sumo base on our 3171 Performance Series Power Station #3141 or #3171. http://www.legendfitness.com/product...tion_3171.aspx

2. Cannot drill holes for band pegs but Adjustable Band Peg Spotter Arms #3236B are meant to address that problem.

3. The good news is that the 24" Safty Spotter Arm will fit.---the bad news is that it will leave about 15" not covered.---Will work but possibly not a good idea.

4. Two tone is a $25 option on the Performance Series Cages.

The reason I went with the other vendor is I'm able to get exactly the rack I want. I hope Legend can be more flexible for the home gym sector, because it's an otherwise well-regarded company.

Do you have a link to see a video of the LeverEdge Bicep? I have looked everywhere and can't find one.

Hello and thanks for your thoughts and I am sorry that we could not provide exactly what you are wanting and needing. To give you some more information and it sounds like you needed the Westside Barbell Combo Cage #3230. It has the features that you described and allows the Sumo Stance squat position. Not sure if you had seen this cage or were even interested in this but it would have met your needs better than a standard 3133. We are a "custom/built to order" company, however some modifications that require design changes in the prints of the actual piece of equipment, for example the Sumo Stance for the 3133, is something that would probably be done only in a bulk order and not for just one piece. I understand your concern and appreciate your words and know that this issue will be passed along over my head within the company. Hope you enjoy your cage and let me know if I can ever be of assistance in any way. Thanks again

I don't think that we have any videos of this piece in particular....in my honest opinion....this is one piece of LeverEDGE that we have, that is flawed as of right now and we are working on a redesign to make it better. The problem is with the handles and the way that they are angled and we are working on giving the handle a different grip so that you can supinate and really squeeze the bicep without straining the wrist. Give us a bit of time and this piece will be extremely legit as for now it is just not quite there yet in my opinion. Thanks for the inquiry and follow up with me and here in a bit and I will update you on this piece and try to get a video for you.

Thanks for replying. Yes, I was aware of the Louis Simmons rack, but was looking for a 3x3 rack since I do not plan to bolt the rack down in my home gym.

Sounds great, thanks for the honesty!

Hopefully, bbcom will be able to bring on your equipment. I've been asking for it and heard it might be in the works.

Hey Andrew,

I got a couple questions regarding pricing and shipping for these three machines

Always awesome to have reps around.

Yes; they all make the 'Supplement' forum so much 'better.'






















I look forward to this one soon being overrun by company reps.

I don't see it being anything but positive. There's a lot of broscience and unknowns to the average person with supplements whereas here in the equipment forum it's nuts and bolts. Hopefully with reps showing up here we'll be able have input on production and be able to voice our concerns, opinions, or have previous wrongs righted.

If all else fails, we'll send them to the depths of the misc.

Time will tell. Now that the cat's out of the bag, every rep can demand equal time here.


BTW, OP of this thread has already had at least one 'sales pitch' post deleted.









I look forward to the manufacturers' pissing matches to come in this forum, and it turning into little more than a classified advertisement section.

I can't wait for the Tug Toner and Shakeweight reps to drop by. I have a few ideas for them.

I thought the exact same thing when I saw this thread. The last thing I'd like to see is for someone to ask a question on this forum and have 5 Weider reps jump on the thread saying how great JW products have been working for them. Gross.

[AttyGuy]

I have noticed that reps who hawk their companies' wares too aggressively get bounced. Coupled with the knowledgeable and critical voices of the regulars, there should be sufficient pressure to keep this forum from going commercial.

That would be negworthy.

and THAT is appreciated.
