For those who haven’t heard of Home Gym Con, it’s one of the premier conferences for the home gym community, held annually in Louisville, KY. Home Gym Con 2025 was filled with 121 vendors, including some of the most well-known names in fitness equipment, as well as up-and-coming brands we’re very excited about.
This year, our video team made the trip to Home Gym Con, including Garage Gym Reviews founder Cooper “Coop” Mitchell, Lindsay Scheele from GGR Everything, and our filming crew. Coop and Lindsay were able to try out some amazing new equipment in person, getting a firsthand look at some of the latest innovations in home gym tech.
In this recap, I’ll be highlighting some of the pieces we’re most excited about. We also have full video recaps available live on all our YouTube channels. If you prefer to watch Coop and Lindsay chat with equipment manufacturers and showcase the latest strength, cardio, and budget-friendly equipment, the videos are linked below.

Home Gym Con 2025: What We’re Most Excited About
With over 120 vendors at Home Gym Con, covering every new piece of equipment is impossible. I’m going to share the pieces of equipment we’re looking forward to most, and if you want to see more, be sure to watch the videos linked above.
Dialed Motion
Let’s kick things off with Dialed Motion, a newer company based out of San Francisco. While most of Dialed Motion’s products are only available for pre-order and are expected to ship in August 2025, we’re very excited about the upcoming new products we’ve had the opportunity to try.
In fact, Cooper “Coop” Mitchell, GGR’s founder and home gym equipment expert, said that of everything at Home Gym Con, he was the most excited to try Dialed Motion’s leg extension and leg curl bench attachment. He was able to use the machine, and it met his expectations.
Coop said it was very smooth and noticed that the weight was heaviest at the bottom of the leg extension, which is a feature typically only seen on high-end machines, such as the Prime leg extension. The resistance comes from attaching the unit to a cable machine, and if you don’t have a functional trainer ready to go, Coop said that pairing this with the Beyond Power Voltra would be a match made in heaven.

Dialed Motion also showed off a range of products designed to work with standard power racks, including cable attachments, a preacher curl, and more. We were very impressed with the details, and Coop said, “It’s hard to capture it on video, but the details on this stuff are just amazing.”
This machine is currently in production. If you’d like to explore other products from Dialed Motion, you can click the link below.
ATX
Another company we’re really excited about is ATX. This German company isn’t selling its equipment in the U.S. just yet, but its products are expected to be available to American customers around the end of September.
ATX offers a comprehensive range of commercial-grade gym machines, including power racks, half-racks, Smith machines, weight plates, adjustable weight benches, traditional bodybuilding machines, functional trainers, and more.
Coop tried the all-in-one machine that doubles as both a squat rack and cable machine, and appreciated the details, from the smooth cable motion to the knurled adjustment knobs. There’s also an option to purchase an upgraded rack with a built-in Smith machine, offering even more versatility to home gym owners.
While we don’t know all the details yet, the ATX representative told us that the expected price will be around $4,000, with the current tariffs, although pricing may change by the time it becomes available for U.S. customers.

We can’t wait to get an ATX rack in our warehouse and do a detailed video review, and in the meantime, you can check out the ATX website to look at its current product offerings.
Titan Fitness
Another brand we visited is one that needs no introduction to GGR readers: Titan Fitness. For years, we’ve loved Titan products, as they typically offer high-quality products that won’t break the bank.
This year, Titan showcased a variety of products, including an upcoming chest-supported rowing machine and our personal favorite, a single-stack cable machine. For home gym owners with limited space, this single-stack cable machine is a game-changer, offering tremendous versatility in a compact footprint.
The prototype at Home Gym Con showcased a 320-pound weight stack with both 1:1 and 2:1 pulleys. While this will provide sufficient resistance for most users, the machine is also narrow, so it won’t occupy too much space.

It also features a removable seat for lat pulldowns, laser-cut holes and numbers, a bar hook to hold the lat pulldown bar, a built-in change plate to adjust your weight in smaller increments, storage, and more.
While the single-stack cable machine was the highlight of Titan’s exhibit, in our opinion, we’re also excited to try the chest-supported row, as well as some of the upcoming rack attachments like new safety arms and j-hooks.
We’ll review as many of these products as possible once they’re released. In the meantime, you can check out some of our other Titan reviews below.
Temple of Gainz Quadsend
If you’re in the market for a new leg press, the Temple of Gainz Quadsend is a leg press and hack squat combo machine from one of the most innovative brands in the home gym market. We’re not just saying that–Temple of Gainz was named “Most Innovative Brand” in our Fitness Most Wanted 2025 guide.
While we’ve seen other leg press and hack squat combos, this one offers plenty of unique features, including:
- A 37.5-degree angle
- A large 36” x 24” footplate
- A deep range of motion
- 11-gauge steel construction
- Integrated calf raise
- Knurled handles
These features are already included in the current prototype, and a second, improved prototype is already in development.
The Temple of Gainz works great in home gyms, and most of its equipment is also durable enough to withstand use in a commercial gym, so you know it’s built to last.
There’s no official release date for the upcoming Quadsend yet, but you can check out the product page below for more details.
Prime Fitness Trap Bar
Prime Fitness is known for incredibly high-quality machines that offer the ability to customize your resistance curve. Whether you want the heaviest point of the movement to be at the beginning of the movement, the end, or somewhere in between, most Prime machines allow you to manipulate the resistance curve by changing a lever.
However, Prime also manufactures more traditional equipment, like power racks, cable attachments, and barbells, including the upgraded open trap bar that we were able to try out at Home Gym Con.
This trap bar features interchangeable, adjustable handles, as well as built-in wheels for easy transport. For those who love trap bar deadlifts, this is going to be the most customizable trap bar we’ve seen yet.

It will also feature attachments that allow it to be used for hip thrusts or converted into a super squat bar, providing even more versatility.
We don’t have an estimated date for the new and improved Prime Trap Bar, but for now, you can check out the current model using the link below.
REP Runner
When we first previewed the REP Runner in our first look at REP’s cardio equipment, we were excited about the REP Runner, a curved manual treadmill. After all, REP makes some of our favorite racks, benches, and adjustable dumbbells, and we couldn’t wait to try its cardio equipment.
Now rebranded as the REP Strive Series Curved Treadmill, this latest piece of cardio equipment is better than ever. Manual treadmills are powered entirely by the user’s legs, requiring no external power or energy, which is why they’ve been shown1 to provide a higher cardiovascular demand than motorized treadmills.
While this isn’t a new feature with manual treadmills, what makes REP Fitness’s treadmill truly stand out is the adjustable deck angle, a feature we haven’t seen on other treadmills, and the built-in handles that simulate pushing a sled.
For those who want to train for both running and sled pushes on a single machine, such as those preparing for a HYROX event, this is a great feature. The treadmill also features dual consoles, with a traditional console at near-eye level, as well as one near your feet, allowing you to see the screen even while leaned over in the sled mode.
There’s no final price announcement yet, so we suggest bookmarking the Strive Series treadmill page using the link below.
PRx Weight Bench Lineup
Another great company specializing in home gym equipment is PRx Performance, which offers a variety of squat racks, functional trainers, adjustable benches, and a variety of rack attachments.
This year, our team had the opportunity to see some of the latest benches from PRx, including the Razortooth, Stealth, and flat bench, all of which are currently available for pre-order on PRx’s website through the link below.
Coop pointed out that the benches are very light, and PRx confirmed that all the benches can be stored upright between uses, which makes these benches a good choice for gym owners who are tight on space.

We also got to see the new PRx functional trainer, which features a 250-pound weight stack and a 2:1 pulley ratio. This is a great choice for those looking for a new functional trainer. If you already have one, you may be interested in the Vendetta arm. This versatile attachment looks similar to the PRx Halo Arm, but it can be mounted on either a rack or a wall, allowing users to perform belt squats.
To pre-order upcoming PRx equipment or explore current offerings, you can visit PRx using the link below.
AbMat
While many of the companies we’ve mentioned focus on heavy-duty strength equipment, AbMat focuses on accessories to complement your existing gear. This includes accessories such as the original AbMat for core training, hip thrust pads, Zercher squat pads, and so much more.
If you’re already outfitted your rack with attachments and bumper plates, AbMat has plenty of amazing accessories you may not have considered.

RELATED: AbMat Pivot Pad Review
This year, we had the opportunity to see some of AbMat’s newest offerings, including the Drop Zone pads and the Range of Motion Pad. The Drop Zone pads provide excellent protection and soundproofing for your weightlifting endeavors. The PRx rep dropped a 53-pound weight onto the pad, which made virtually no noise at all, and they’re designed to be very durable.
If you’re not concerned with noise, the upcoming Range of Motion pad resembles a foam roller cut in half lengthwise and can be placed on a bench to provide more range of motion with upper body pressing movements. Yes, you could create a DIY version of this by cutting a foam roller yourself, but they’re quite stiff, whereas this pad is designed for both support and comfort.

Ancore
The original Ancore Pro enabled users to enjoy the benefits of cable training without the need to purchase an entire functional trainer or install a pulley system on a power rack.
While the Ancore Pro is still a great tool, those interested in a cable upgrade may want to wait until the fall, when Ancore’s latest cable unit is expected to be released. This new and improved trainer offers up to 80 pounds of resistance in 5-pound increments and features a 10-foot cable, providing enough space and functionality for nearly any cable exercise.
It also features a sliding rack mount that locks into place if you slip while adjusting the weight, and it’s held in place by tension, not pins that go into the holes on your rack. We love this feature, as it allows you to place the trainer anywhere you want without worrying about the spacing of the holes in your rack.

It also features a durable metal chassis, and it’s easy to remove from the rack by lifting a handle.
The new trainer will cost anywhere from $1,300 to $1,500, depending on your mounting setup. While this is nearly double the cost of the original Ancore Pro, it also offers significant improvements.
As we wait for this product to be released, you can visit Ancore using the button below to explore the current products.
Bells of Steel
Bells of Stell is another well-known brand in the home gym space, offering nearly any type of strength training or cardio equipment you can think of. Most of the equipment we’ve tested is very durable, well-constructed, versatile, and reasonably priced, and we’re huge fans of the company.
Our favorite piece of equipment from Bells of Steel this year is the new Shoulder Boulder rack attachment. This exercise is designed for lateral raises and chest flies, although it can also be used for exercises like bicep curls. It’s very easy to customize your range of motion, allowing you to achieve a fantastic workout for your chest, shoulders, and more.

Since most lateral raise machines are standalone pieces of equipment that aren’t exactly compact, we love the convenience offered by the Shoulder Boulder. We haven’t seen many other companies offering rack-mounted lateral raise arms, and we look forward to having one of these in our warehouse for in-depth testing.
While supplies are very limited, you can pre-order yours using the link below.
Force USA
Force USA is known for incredibly versatile and durable home gym equipment, especially their all-in-one units. We wanted to review the C10, but held off, as we know the updated C20 was coming, and as Coop said, “This thing is a beast.”
Built from durable 3” x 3”, 11-gauge steel, the C20 is a power rack, functional trainer, and Smith machine all in one. The new, compact pulley arms are designed to feel more stable and can pivot in nearly any direction, allowing you to customize your workout.
The J-hooks have also been redesigned, and now have a metal pin with a slit in it. This is designed to rest on the cutout holes of your rack, providing better stability.
Not only is this trainer durable, but it’s versatile. The center cable allows you to perform lat pulldowns, and you can lower the Smith machine bar to hold your weight, since the C20 will include pads to protect your thighs.

It also comes with additional accessories, like dip handles and a magnetic landmine attachment.
Finally, while we loved the C10 bench so much that we included it in our 2025 Fitness Most Wanted List, ForceUSA told us that a C20 bench prototype is also in the works, so this new C20 will eventually have a sleek new bench to go with it.
While there’s no official price yet, the original C10 costs nearly $4,499, so we don’t expect this to be cheap. However, this all-in-one unit is one of the most versatile trainers we’ve seen, so we think it’ll be well worth the cost.
If you want to be one of the first to know when the C20 is released, we recommend visiting Force USA using the link below and bookmarking the page. We’ll also provide a full review as soon as possible.
