I’ve been using the Giant Lifting Vertex All-In-One Trainer for about a week now, and it’s already proving to be a great addition to my home gym. I was needed something that wouldn’t take up too much space but could still support a full-body workout—and this delivered. Before buying, I spent a lot of time researching different all-in-one trainers and comparing features, build quality, and footprint. After narrowing it down, the Vertex stood out as the best fit for my goals and space.
The versatility is awesome. I can switch between cable exercises, squats, and presses without needing multiple machines. The pulley system is smooth, and the rack itself feels super solid—no wobble, even during heavier lifts.
Assembly did take some patience. The instruction diagrams could be clearer, but with two people, we had it fully set up in under 4 hours.
So far, I’m really happy with it. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up with regular use!

Great quality and faster shipping than I expected.

Love the dang thing. That’s all.

We turned to GIANT for our at home gym equipment and it has been a good experience, from the delivery, to the quality of equipment, and at an affordable price. We'll come back to shop here.

These weights are very nice. I sprayed some sealant on the painted surfaces and these weights look awesome now and the paint will not rub off.

I love grip plates because of their versatility and these are quality, well priced plates. I have a full set (2x of every available weight) and am very happy with my purchase. My only (minor) gripes:
- Every single plate has an oily, black coating that needs to be wiped off. I'm not sure if this is from the rubber itself, some protective coating or just due to the manufacturing process, but the oil very easily transfers to any surface it (or you) touch
- I wish they had more weight options! I know 15 lbs is not a standard size, but with just a pair of each size, I have a gap in available weight on some lifts I'm doing and 15 lb plates would be perfect here (I ended up ordering more 10 lb plates)
- Shipping takes longer than I'd like, but not a huge deal

GIANT 2X Adjustable Bench

Everything is a plus, high quality, and easy to assemble, which is good because no assembly directions are provided

*Full disclosure, this review is written one day in; not a long-term review.
Lost my old cheapo speed rope and fell down the rabbit hole looking thru (mainly crossfit-related) youtube videos - glad I ran through my normal sites and found Giant instead of spending $60-$80 on something else.

This was five bucks more than my basic, hollow plastic-handled rope. The handles feel excellent - perfect amount of weight without approaching the category of weighted handles, rope is very fast while still providing decent control & a little feedback, thumb screws for the adjustments made sizing the rope quick and painless too. I only wish they had replacement ropes available but for $20 if this lasts me even as little as a year I'll consider it a big win and pick-up another to replace it.

Love the knurl, love the look, very happy with it.

Kettlebell arrived in good condition with solid packaging.

The kettlebell looks great with a textured grip; not too smooth, perfect for 1 or 2-handed swings.

We've been using this kettlebell for 3 months now and only indoors but see no issues with the powder coating so far.

This 12 kg kettlebell was an absolute steal at the discounted price and I bought it primarily for my wife who is very happy with this purchase.

I thought I would use this rack for longer before upgrading but the new all-in-one from GIANT got me excited enough to try it and now I'm out of space :(

FOR THE MONEY: I think this is the best option online for most starting home setups. Squatting 400 still feels safe in this rack but I doubt slamming 700 would end well more than once. The lat pulldown is "good" but do yourself a favor and get some aluminum pulleys online to replace these and it will feel so much better.

I do wish they had the top cable set to be optionally pulled out at more of an angle, you pretty much can only pull down (15° of movement) or the cable catches the edge of the tubing and will shred it over time.

The low row angle is also like AT the floor so even sitting on the ground you can't get a good position without setting up. If the low row was 4-6 inches higher it would open up a lot of options for movements that might even include sitting on a bench, still works for curls, shrugs, etc...

The SPACE of the rack is great inside, really found the room to not feel claustrophobic and my over sized bench fits inside just fine for all lifts.

I'm currently working on possibly modding the rack to save the lat pulldown for a corner of our gym instead of replacing it since it's held up great and doubt I'll need anything besides a new cable in a few years.

This is a 2x2 rack that is stronger than expected, for most people I think this would be good enough for a decade of lifting on a budget, if you're already strong and planning on powerlifting or hanging all kinds of stuff from your rack one day, maybe save for a 3x3 11 gauge or at least know you might need to move to in a few years.

5/5
Also Giant lifting support got back to me quickly with missing/damaged accessories and overnight shipped a replacement j-cup when I had issues. GIANT is still my favorite reasonably priced company for home lifting and this is the best bang for your buck imo.

I do not have a Giant made rack but these fit perfectly in the 1” holes of my rack and already saved me from getting racked. They are very solid and I feel confident in their ability to protect me when I am lifting on my own.
