Never really did belt squats before, so I don’t have much to compare it to, but the belt itself is very comfortable. Just wish it was easier to clip out of once the legs were smoked. I’ve got to figure out the technique.
The APEX Ecosystem is a fully integrated training system built around the APEX Adjustable Bench. Every attachment is engineered to connect directly to the bench, transforming it into multiple machines in one. Instead of buying separate bulky equipment, you expand your setup piece by piece with attachments like the Nordic MAX, Stryker Pad, Landmine, Ab Trainer, Leg Extension, Belt Squat, Power Tower, and more.
Yes. APEX attachments are engineered to connect directly to the APEX Adjustable Bench. The bench is the foundation of the entire ecosystem, and all attachments rely on its integrated connection system for proper use.
Yes. We’re actively expanding the APEX Ecosystem. New attachments are already in development, and we’ll continue building the lineup based directly on customer and community feedback. Your input helps shape what we create next. If you have a cool idea, we'd love to hear from you!
Of course. The APEX Ecosystem is designed to grow with you. You can start with the attachments you need now and add more over time. Every new piece integrates seamlessly with the APEX Adjustable Bench, making it easy to expand your setup whenever you’re ready.
The APEX Ecosystem replaces multiple standalone machines with integrated compact attachments. Instead of needing separate equipment for leg curls, extensions, Nordic work, core training, landmine exercises, belt squats, and more, each attachment connects to the APEX Adjustable Bench, helping reduce the footprint needed. You only store compact attachments rather than full machines, which dramatically reduces space while still giving you the functionality of a complete gym.
We spent a long time refining every detail to ensure each attachment is truly multifunctional without sacrificing performance. Instead of single-purpose add-ons, every APEX attachment is engineered to deliver multiple high-quality training functions while integrating perfectly with the bench. The result is a more versatile, more refined, and more complete system.
