Sorinex frankenhyper

So it's on their site now. Problem is of all the photos, none showing someone actually doing a GHR or a reverse hyper movement. Only back extensions. I think people would want to see more before spending $3300.

Comments are funny.

Comments are very true though. For the same price you can get a nice deluxe reverse hyper from legend fitness with a tilt top and swappable pendulum or belt and you'll still have money left over to get a nice GHD.

I dropped my .02 cents worth on the comments as well. Little ridiculous.

ridiculous price. only place i would see wasting the money on those are places with 6+ figure equipment budgets who throw the money around without care.

I've commented on this before, but unless people remember, I find Sorinex to be overpriced on a lot of products (not all, mind you). As someone put it, they are drinking their own Kool Aid.


The best way to describe this product is that the sum of the parts is less than the whole. I'd rather have a really nice GHR/GHD & separate Reverse hyper with a larger area to lay on. Using this as a GHD also seems half-assed as there's far better pad options. The step ups for the Reverse hyper portion are useless & will most likely cause someone to slip. There's no good plate to grip onto during reverse hypers either. For this much cash, it should be a pendelum roller reverse hyper w/ adjustable tilt top &

Seriously, Sorinex, is this a prototype? Where's the finished product?



Mech6, since you posted this, are you planning on making a quality version? lol. I'm still waiting for US distribution, buddy!

$10 says our good buddy tombro welded his own version of this beast in his garage and that his works better and only cost him $80 in materials

Don't forget that his frankenhyper also has a Stanford law degree & a beautiful wife.

maybe they need to inflate the price so much cuz it is not made in house like a lot of there other stuff.

Cleveland you owe me a new keyboard after that comment. My water went everywhere. I'm sure it puts the hammer strength machines to shame.

No, I already own both machines. I'm not really sure you could do it properly without swapping pads for each exercise. And this version is not practical, for reasons you mentioned.

I love Sorinex. Local company and they're a bunch of really solid guys. That being said.......this thing is awful. Who exactly is the target market? They'd have been better off doing a RH rack attachment like Rogue did. I'm still not sure I like that either, but it's better than this monstrosity.

[deiphid]

The target market for any kind of combo machine is someone with limited space.

So I would think it should be targeted at home gym users and small, studio gym owners - and this is priced way out of that market. The kind of people who would pay this kind of money aren't typically the sort of people trying to squeeze multiple machines into a single car garage.

People with the budget for a top of the range GHD and reverse hyper tend to have the space for both machines.

Dropped my .04 cents.

[morebarbell]

The "removable man canyon" would be lost or destroyed in a commercial environment. I don't like the rest of the design either and the price is ridiculous. They've jacked up the prices on a lot of their stuff. I suspect that the rave reviews of the racks and benches gave them the marketing that they needed to raise the prices on those pieces. I don't really see a market for this piece but the fitness industry isn't really known for smart buying decisions.

[matrix563]

I'd rather have the ucs ghr and the westsite bent pendulum. just my .02 cents.

there is just no good way to combine these 2 machines into one. not really.

Those are nice but I'd prefer a rotating pad like on the Power-Lift GHR. Do you use the reverse hyper that you got? I never ended up picking up the one that I saw on Craigslist and it disappeared again. Either the listing expired or it was sold.

Yeah feela just like the heavy duty version. Cant beat $50

Didnt read the ********, but honest question...

How is price determined for this contraption? Do they not know of an assembly line invention, ie make 20 at a time...

3300 USD is a lot of money...my current car cost me 2300$ CDN and Ive had it for 2 years and 50,000km with no major issue.

And this thing is 3300 plus whatever they want for shipping?

I think they're probably made to order like the benches and racks. That avoids the cost of warehouse space and depreciation of inventory. The Sorinex product page shows two large installations and there are usually discounts for large installations. Facilities often buy everything from one vendor rather than look for the best pieces. I doubt there will be many sales to individuals.

Well, they made upwards of 100,000 of your car most likely. If you order 100,000 of these, I'm sure they'll lower the price . Problem is it's still all welded by hand. Sure, you get a break on the machined parts when you buy in bulk, but steel and labour won't go down if you make 1 or 1000. All you save is setup time and such.

I think Sorinex has so many corporate orders coming in that they really have lost touch with the home gym consumer. I understand individual consumer orders are chump change compared to universities and professional sports team, but c'mon man.
