Would you recommend this over a stand alone leg curl/extension machine. Not sure how it compares to something like Titan’s dedicated machine in terms of weight tolerance, resistance curve, etc.
I was watching your video views because I’m an athletes moving into a trucking career (Semi) and I think this machine is perfect for helping reach more functional strength training that I thought possible living in truck. Just want to say thank you in advance. Definitely don’t want to sacrifice exercise and this will really help.
New drinking game, take a drink every time Coop says the word “nordic”, i started this amd be thay thyme i write thosex sentamces im absomlutlay wasteeed!!!
For the price they want for this you can buy a rack machine

Thanks for the great review I’ve had 2 knee surgeries including a full ACL and lower back issues. ordered one based off this review love it still waiting for the leg developer. But big fan so far.
This could’ve been a 5 min video
Crazy price for what you get. But nothing new to this market
it is not made very well
Can you tilt the angle of the seat/bench to increase the incline while doing leg extensions/leg curls? If so, its a great way to increase resistance at the lengthened position which id certainly buy this piece of equipment if i could do that
It’s really cool, but you’re point about full rom for nordics doesn’t make sense because you’re not going past a vertical body position at the end of a rep. If your bench is flat you’re moving 90 degrees but if you incline the bench to 30 degrees then you’re only traveling 60. The flipside is the decline does increase the rom past 90 which is something that most other nordics can’t do.
And they’ve already jacked up the price 😂
The only thing I don’t like is their BS "Lifetime Warranty" it isn’t actually lifetime as they wave the right to not own up to it if your product is Discontinued… Not really Lifetime if they can just Discontinue your item and not have to own up to the Warranty.
Can it bench?
“Premium” home gym equipment..
What is the height requirement you would need for GHD. I’m 5’9” and would use this in a basement with low ceilings.
It’s $1200….
Is this good for herniated disc rehab
Man, oh man…. This is exciting. Look forward to seeing if larger manufacturers like Rep and Rogue make a version of this type of design.
It looks like this can be a decent bench for lower weight dumbbell workouts. Has anyone used it as a bench or more important to me an incline bench? As in sitting on the ankle rollers (that don’t roll). I am living in NYC/Tokyo areas of space where I live and this would be a no brainier if it could replace my bench.
I have the old version of the Freak Athlete Nordic Hyper. I bought it specifically for the versatility, which has only improved with the latest upgrades. I had a Sorinex Nordic bench that I bought in 2011 which I sold to make space for the FA bench. The Sorinex unit was definitely more durable, but didn’t have half the versatility of the FA unit. I use my FA bench every time I workout at home
Just purchased this! So excited to finally be able to do back extensions, leg extensions, and leg curls! Now the only move I can’t replicate in my home gym is the leg press.
1300 and doesn’t come with everything in the video?
No thanks.
I have the "original" Nordic hyper. Though not the original original… Mine has the multi colored knobs and stuff so it’s a slightly updated varient. Anyway, I absolutely LOVE this thing. I pre-ordered the leg developer attachment to enable quad/ham curls and am incredibly excited for it to show up. It’s been a HUGE value add for my home gym.
That could be ideal for Calisthenics types.

The only thing I’m worried about when something isn’t "downgraded" from a gym design is the quality control of the product. Bad welds, improper alignments, etc.
Budget does not mean what you think it means
This is a BEAST!!! Good grief, this company went ALL all ALLLLL out whew
That costs 4.5 years worth of my gym membership…
This is my favorite piece of home gym equipment. So many options to strengthen your entire core … the back extension feels so good. When you do side bends/leans, you realize how sturdy this machine is as there is no tilt even though all your body weight is on one side of the machine. Phenomenal given the relatively low weight of the machine! The leg developer attachment is fire! I agree with your assessment on the leg extension. One detail that is overlooked on the leg curl is the decline position you are in when doing the leg curl. I did not realize this until I watched a friend do the leg curl on a flat bench. When doing leg curl on a flat bench, it is easy for your low back to compress and/or have your butt raise. Watching the top of the movement on the flat bench, you realize that you probably should be doing leg curl in a decline position. Sooooo, when you do the leg curl on the Freak Athlete in decline position (as you show in your video), you preserve your lower back from the compression that comes with doing leg curl on a flat bench. IMO, that is huge … and overlooked.
Price increased by 300 since this video…………..
more garbage
Thanks for the video. Can this replace a bench?
@8:00 you explain how the adjustment bar would get in the way with a barbell but the atlantis video shows it on his back and it wouldnt be in the way lol
$1,600!?!? Why!?!? You can get a full cage system for that!
My God… The bot comments lmao
Hey James. I was curious about getting into character design/poster art and film. Any info helps. Thanks!
On my home gym wish list now! I love this concept. This and the SkiErg combo machine too.
Looks annoying to try to set up each exercise but if you aren’t worried about quick sets then it’s perfect
I’m sold!
I’ve been watching this dude on and off for a few years now. My question is, how is someone who has access to a home gym that better equipt than a regular gym, why is he still small?
Price is up $400 2 months after this video came out
Freak Athlete’s product support is lacking and they do not honor what different members of the support team say. This makes for a very frustrating customer service experience. If you ask about the 30 day return policy you will get no reply. At this time I still have damaged product and no resolution from Freak Athlete. I have purchased the Nordic pro(about 1 year ago), the new upgrade package(Oct. 16 2024), and a WheelBarrow Sled(Oct. 16 2024). My first purchase was good no real issues other than scuffs, scratches, dents probably from shipping but I didn’t really care. My second purchase has been miserable due the damages to the product and frustrating customer support. Due to the frustrating experience with the support team and Freak Athlete’s lack of desire to replace the damaged part of my order. I have lost my trust in this company and regret my purchase. If you had a good experience with Freak Athlete I am happy for you, but I did not. I can not recommend this company, Buyer Beware.
Has anyone used this as a bench or incline bench?
Too expensive for what it is. For $600? Sure. Not $2k.
The price, bro! C’mon…
That price thou
im afraid of nordics blowing my hamstrings out
Can I throw out my adjustable weight bench and replace it with this?
