I ordered the Nordic Pro bench with the GHD pad in advance

I ordered the Nordic Pro bench with the GHD pad in advance, but due to some home renovations, the boxes stayed unopened and unused. Around two months after the delivery, once my gym room was set up, I put together the Nordic Pro bench and noticed that the Nordic pad (the main pad) had a cut. The packaging was really good, so I think this must have happened during shipping. I was worried that since it sat unused for a while, the company might not help me. But my worries were unnecessary; they just asked for a photo of the damage and sent a new pad right away. The product is great, I really enjoy the Nordic Pro and GHD. The assembly and "how to use" videos are clear and helpful. Once my FM-6 arrives and is set up, I’m thinking about ordering the leg developer attachment too. The price is a bit high, but you're definitely getting a solid product with a customer service team that really supports you!

I bought the Nordic Hyper but found out it wouldn’t

I bought the Nordic Hyper but found out it wouldn’t fit in my tiny home gym alongside a regular bench. Customer support took some time to respond, but once they did, they were quick to keep in touch and resolve everything. They also refunded the shipping fee, which was a pleasant surprise. Because of this, if I ever have a larger gym, I will definitely consider getting the Nordic Hyper.

Great customer service who assisted me with

Great customer service who assisted me with getting an early discount. Later, they really showed their integrity when the discount ended up being larger than expected. They contacted me on their own to inform me they were refunding the extra discount amount, no need for me to ask. It's rare to see a company do the right thing like that these days!

I bought the bulletproof bundle

I bought the bulletproof bundle when it was on sale at a garage sale and was really happy to try them out. I've been using them for my workouts and I really like them. I also got some change plates which are good too. They were delivered fast and arrived quickly. I'll definitely watch for more sales to get more equipment from them.

Great customer service.

The Freak Athlete team kept me informed about shipping and delivery and reached out to make sure everything was okay. The Nordic Hyper was as good as I expected. I’ve mainly used it for back extensions, Nordic hamstring curls, and decline sit-ups so far. The video directions were great, but I wish there were written ones as well.

The company's advertising showcasing

The company's advertising showcasing different users caught my attention. The bench seemed easy to switch between exercises, which got me interested. The specifications looked good, and reading the reviews helped too. So, I bought one for my home gym. It arrived on time, and I managed to put it together myself without any trouble (I'm a 50+ Masters runner). The instructions were okay, though the print could've been larger. The bench is strong and really easy to use! I can have quality workouts without any hassle. The pins fit snugly, and there's no wobbling (though I weigh 120lbs). Plus, it's easy to store, which is great.

It's user-friendly

The NordicTrack has significantly enhanced my Nordic workouts. It's user-friendly, providing comfort and convenience while not being space-intensive. However, the assembly process was excessively challenging and frustrating, resulting in a one-star deduction from my rating. Apart from that, it remains a great addition to my fitness regimen.

Equipment is decent.

Equipment is decent. Had rust inside tubing, but still light and versatile. Hip thrusts wobble, but nice to have option. Back extensions and curls work well. Joints could be sturdier, but feel safe. Missed out on color-coded knob upgrade!

The Nordic Hyper by Freak Athlete

The Nordic Hyper by Freak Athlete falls short of our expectations, lacking the versatility and user-friendliness we had anticipated. The tutorial video provided by the founders' team skips essential construction steps and oversimplifies processes, resulting in a building experience that falls below even IKEA standards. The transition from use to storage is surprisingly immobile, and despite its marked dimensions, the Nordic Hyper occupies a significant footprint in the home, feeling cumbersome and regrettable. Unfortunately, the regrettable purchase has led to minimal usage, as the numerous configuration changes required for different exercises, storage, and reopening have proven inconvenient. While the team behind the product seems cool, I find myself regretting the decision to purchase the Nordic Hyper.

I'm quite disappointed with my recent order experience

I'm quite disappointed with my recent order experience. Although I received an email on October 13th indicating that my product had shipped, it's been over two weeks, and I haven't received it. To make matters worse, I was informed that there was an issue with the marketplace, and my order number changed. I haven't received any tracking information or further details about the shipment. What's even more confusing is that I received emails inquiring about my satisfaction with the equipment, when, in fact, I haven't received it yet. This experience has eroded my trust in the process, and I expected to have the product by now.
