The Torque Fitness F5 (F.A.S.T.) Home Gym

Ok! How much is this equip? I would definitely use this at a GYM but i would never buy this for my house because i know it probably cost an arm and a leg..

Actually it is a very good piece of equipment especially in space limited environments. 200 lbs on the stack is adequate. The cabling is smooth and the variety of different exercises is surprising. I would recommend the F5 over its big brother the F7.

@bbfolgart Whats the difference betweet the F5 and F7? The F7 look more expensive and dont have the legs attachement. Do you know why its more expensive with less fonctionality?

@fujtif I mulled both for a long time and could not come up with an answer other than the F7 has independent weight stacks and a more robust chin-up configuration. I do think the construction is more up to date. It appears to me that the F7 was made for the fitness boutiques. I doubt very many people put them into their homes. It was a none starter for me and every consultant I asked said the F5 was a better and more versatile piece of equipment.

@bbfolgart Ok, so you really think the F5 is better for a home, but that the F7 is alot more 'robust' and up to date. But what about the 200 lbs stack? Isnt it a little bit short when your using the full bar like a bench press?

And what about the cable, is the movement smooth like with the F7?

Thanks for your time I really appreciate to talk to someone who tried both of them it will help me alot doing my choice!
