Adjustable dumbbells
Freak Athlete
Coming soon120-lb Adjustable Dumbbells
Timing — The first production round is sold out and nothing on this product can currently be bought, re-confirmed Oct 4, 2026. The buy area renders "FIRST ROUND SOLD OUT" and "The next round of pre-orders is expected at the end of October", with NOTIFY ME as the only live, enabled control — its form posts to the store's contact endpoint under a dumbbell-waitlist tag, not to a cart. There is no purchase control of any kind on the page: no cart form, no add-to-cart button, no pre-order or reserve control, visible or hidden, and the theme itself marks the product sold out in the page's own body class. The deposit is described in the future tense, under the heading "DEPOSIT WHEN PRE-ORDERS REOPEN": $100 per pair, "Fully refundable, and it comes off the full price", against full prices of $1,099.99 (85 lb pair), $1,299.99 (105 lb pair) and $1,499.99 (120 lb pair). The structured data agrees, publishing all three offers as PreOrder at those full prices with a priceValidUntil of 2026-10-14 and a category of "Deposit". An optional dumbbell cart is listed at $299 with a $50 deposit. No actual reopening date has been named. One caution for anyone reading this product automatically: the store's underlying variant data lists all three $100 deposit variants as available while the storefront renders no way to buy them, so an availability flag read from that layer will report this product as purchasable when it is not.
Offered in 85, 105 and 120-lb versions, priced per weight at $1,099.99, $1,299.99 and $1,499.99 per pair respectively, each reserved with the same $100 refundable deposit; an optional cart runs $300. Cage-free shape, 5-lb increments and spin adjustment. Manufacturing has started and the first run is limited.
Why it matters — This is the clearest potential challenger to REP x PÉPIN for lifters who need a compact dumbbell above 90 lb — and it now has a real price and a reservation queue.
Watch for
Final length at lighter settings, stand design, warranty language and whether production units match the drop-test prototype. The end-of-2026 window is explicitly not guaranteed, and the "end of October" date for the next pre-order round is the brand’s own estimate rather than a commitment. The per-weight pricing trap this entry documented is moot while the round is closed but will return when it reopens, so it is recorded here for that moment: Freak Athlete publishes three pre-order SKUs in its structured data - DEP-ADB-085 at $1,099.99, DEP-ADB-105 at $1,299.99 and DEP-ADB-120 at $1,499.99 - while only the middle figure has rendered in the product page’s visible text and $1,499.99 has rendered nowhere. With a flat $100 deposit regardless of weight, a buyer reserving the 120 LB pair commits against a balance $200 above the figure the page showed them. When the next round opens, get the weight and the balance confirmed in writing before paying.

Benches & ecosystems
REP
Coming soonPhantom Adjustable Bench
Timing — Listed but not purchasable, verified Oct 16, 2026 by rendered read. REP published a full retail listing across three colourways on Oct 15, 2026 — Metallic Black (AB-3102-MBLK), Matte Black (AB-3102-MAT) and White (AB-3102-WHT) — each read at its own variant URL with the selected colour asserted in the same execution. All three render COMING SOON on a control carrying a true disabled attribute and aria-disabled true, with a NOTIFY ME WHEN AVAILABLE line beside it, every swatch label reading Unavailable, and every JSON-LD offer publishing as out of stock. The listing carries no reviews yet, consistent with a product that has never been purchasable. No production timing is published. Ship date, pre-order window, lead time, launch date, expected, arrives, backorder and every month name from October 2026 through January 2027 each return zero occurrences in the fully expanded rendered product region, including inside all three specification modals. The White colourway's image was added a day after the other two, so the colour range grew after the listing went up. A reading caution for anyone checking this page: the sticky add-to-cart bar reads SOLD OUT on first paint and settles to COMING SOON once it activates on scroll, so a read taken inside about thirty seconds returns the opposite availability word for the same SKU.
REP's entry-level adjustable bench, and REP says so in its own words rather than leaving it to be inferred: the page describes it as a simple, well-built adjustable weight bench for a first home gym, designed as an entry-level bench for a first home gym. Price is $299.99 and identical across all three colourways. The adjustment range is published as counted positions with their angles, which is what this index asks benches to do. Seven back-pad positions at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 85 degrees; three seat positions at 0, 15 and 30 degrees. There is no decline — REP answers that directly, saying the back pad runs from flat at 0 degrees up to 85 degrees. Published dimensions: overall length 50.3" / 128cm, overall width 22.7" / 57.6cm, height 16.7" / 42.4cm, back pad length 34.8" / 88.4cm, back pad width 11.8" / 30cm, seat pad length 13" / 33cm. The seat pad is tapered, published as 11.8" / 30cm narrowing to 8" / 20.3cm. Frame material is 14-gauge steel and the pad material is REP's CleanGrip. Bench weight is 70 lb and weight capacity is 500 lb; note those two figures come from the overview and features copy rather than from the specification table, which carries no weight row. Storage is built in: a rubber-lined vertical storage post, which REP says needs no wall bracket or rack accessory. Warranty is published as ten years on benches and frames with thirty days on upholstery.
Why it matters — This is the first time the index can describe the Phantom from published numbers rather than from show-floor coverage, and the answer to the open question — what position REP was filling — is the cheap end. At $299.99 with a 500 lb capacity, a 70 lb frame and built-in vertical storage, it is aimed at a first home gym rather than at REP's existing bench buyers, which is a different product than the crowded upper half of REP's bench lineup suggested. For anyone comparing benches on the index's own terms, it does the thing the incline guide asks for: it publishes its positions as counted angles instead of as a vague range. What it does not do is decline, at all, which rules it out of a whole category of work no matter how good the rest of it is.
Watch for
There is still no way to buy one and no date. Everything except timing is now published, so the single thing left to wait for is a ship date, a pre-order window or a launch — and REP publishes none of the three. Do not read the sticky bar's SOLD OUT first paint as a stockout; the settled state on all three colourways is COMING SOON. No decline, and REP says so explicitly. If you need decline work, this bench cannot do it and no attachment will fix that, because REP also says the bench is not compatible with any bench attachments. The one compatibility it does claim is with the Ares 2.0 footplate. The 500 lb capacity is published without a test method or standard, like most capacity claims in this category, so it is not comparable with a rated figure from a brand that publishes one. And the two headline weights come from marketing copy rather than the spec table — worth re-reading if REP later populates a weight row that disagrees.

REP / Dialed Motion
Coming soonREP x Dialed Motion Leg Developer
Timing — REP showed "Price Coming Soon" with an unpopulated ship date on every daily check from Aug 23 through Sept 15, 2026. The placeholder is gone and the page has rendered $799.99 on Sept 16, Sept 17 and Oct 12, 2026, with one single-day reappearance of the placeholder on Oct 11 that did not reproduce. There is still no Add to Cart - both primary buttons read "OUT OF STOCK" with a true disabled attribute, and "Notify Me When Available" is the only working control. REP still publishes no ship date for this SKU: as of Oct 12, 2026 the page's own preorder sentence does not render at all and the date field behind it is empty, and a month-name scan of the entire page finds no other date belonging to this product.
Cable-driven bench attachment for extension, seated curl, prone curl, preacher curl and pushdowns, using a retractor for fast stack connection. REP's page is live and carries a price, but the item is out of stock and REP publishes no ship date for it.
Why it matters — It can turn an existing bench and cable stack into the three leg-isolation patterns most home gyms struggle to add.
Watch for
This entry's standing rule was that a price must hold across two consecutive daily checks before being recorded, written after a $799.99 figure appeared on Aug 22, 2026 and vanished within 24 hours. That rule is satisfied: $799.99 rendered on both Sept 16 and Sept 17, and it rendered again on Oct 12, 2026. The price is recorded. The rule has now also been exercised in reverse. On Oct 11, 2026 the "Price Coming Soon" placeholder reappeared for a single day, with a "$0.00 Coming Soon" cart total; on Oct 12 it did not reproduce - "Price Coming Soon" returns zero occurrences in the rendered layer and zero in raw HTML, $799.99 renders four times, and the $0.00 node is present but hidden. One day's disappearance was check one of two and the second check came back negative, so the figure stays. Treat $799.99 as a price this page has shown, withdrawn once for a day, and shown again. One caveat a buyer should know: the structured data on the same page still carries "price": "0.0", so $799.99 is a rendered-DOM figure that REP's own JSON-LD does not corroborate. The practical position has never changed across any of these states - the SKU is out of stock, both primary buttons read "OUT OF STOCK" and carry a true disabled attribute, the only working control is a notify-me, and REP publishes no ship date for it.

Conditioning & hybrid
Chisel Fit
Coming soonHybrid Rower
Timing — Preorder open; $2,995.00 list with $1,000 off via a $500 fully refundable deposit; ChiselFit states "Delivers Fall 2026" as of Sept 9, 2026
Chisel Fit's patented "Dynamic Angle Motion" hybrid rower, now with a named product page and full feature list following its HomeGymCon debut.
Why it matters — It may join the trend of cardio machines that provide more than one resistance or movement mode.
Watch for
ChiselFit now states a shipping window where it previously stated none: "Shipping begins Fall 2026 in the order received", with "earliest pre-orders fulfilled first". That is a season, not a date, and no firmer commitment is published. Understand the money structure before ordering: the $1,995.00 figure is not a list price, it is $2,995.00 less a $1,000 discount that is conditional on placing a $500 fully refundable deposit, and the "Remaining Balance Due 2 Weeks Prior to Shipping" — so the balance falls due on ChiselFit's schedule, not yours. In-home professional assembly is a separate $195.00 per unit. Independent reviews still do not exist; nobody outside the company has used the Dynamic Angle Motion mechanism. Also note the page still advertises "we are offering Free Shipping until August 1st", an offer that expired over five weeks ago and is stale copy — do not count on it.

Torque Fitness
Coming soonTANK SX
Timing — Reservable now, shipping early 2027. Torque's own page states "SHIPPING EARLY 2027" and "Reserve Yours Now!" beside a visible enabled ADD TO CART (disabled:false) and JSON-LD publishing http://schema.org/InStock — so that InStock value describes an open order book, not stock on a shelf. Also published: "Free Shipping. Always." and financing at "0% APR or as low as $88 /mo with Affirm." This is a genuinely new product, established from Shopify's own record-creation timestamps rather than from launch copy. The TANK SX product record was created 2026-09-15 and published 2026-10-06; the Athlete Kit and Complete Kit records were created 2026-09-25 and the Console 2026-09-28. No TANK SX record existed on Torque's store before Sept 15, 2026. The store's "TANK Cover for M4/MX/SX" looks like counter-evidence — its record dates to 2024-10-25 and published 2025-01-16 — but since no SX existed until Sept 2026, that title must have been edited to add "SX" afterwards, which is what the dates show rather than contradict. Control for the method: the TANK M3 record was created 2025-02-06, matching this index's correction that the M3 is roughly 20 months old and not a 2026 launch.
SKU XTTSX-MPH. Torque's heaviest and most expensive TANK, and the first with rear-swivel wheels. Torque's own published specifications: 56.9 x 32.4 x 36.9 in (144.5 x 82.3 x 93.7 cm) and 303 lb (137.4 kg). Resistance Levels read "4 + SX Mode"; the body copy agrees at five total settings — "dual brakes that run from a single adjustment lever across five settings, topped by SX Mode" — against three levels on the M1, M1s, M3 and M4. Torque's comparison page distinguishes it from the M4 and MX as "Dual-Brakes, One Shifter" where those read "Dual-Brakes, Two Shifters". Four wheels: two braked at the front, each with its own Mag-Force brake "engineered to be balanced and set together", plus two rear swivel wheels. Torque's claim is that "Rear-swivel wheels bring lateral resistance under load to a 4-wheeled TANK for the first time", and the comparison page gives the SX "360º Turning" where the M4 and MX both read "Single-Direction Push/Pull". Swivelling was previously an accessory — Torque still sells a "TANK Swivel Attachment for M4/MX". Also included: a multi-position handle system for wheelbarrow and loaded-carry variations, one tow hook, a V-Strap, and integrated weight horns. Tires are "all-surface airless tires" rated by surface rather than size — "Hardwood, rubber, turf, concrete, and outdoor pavement". Against the rest of the line, which Torque prices at M1 $849.00, M1s $1,299.00 (113 lb), M4 $1,799.00, M3 $1,799.00 (209 lb) and MX $2,499.00, the SX tops the range on both price and mass. Torque's own FAQ frames the step up from the MX: "The MX is a fixed-axle, four-wheeled sled with serious resistance. The SX exceeds that resistance and adds rear-swivel wheels for lateral work under load ... multi-position handles for wheelbarrow and other carry variations." The two bundles differ by exactly one item. The $2,799.00 Athlete Kit (SKU XTTSX-AC) lists the sled, Strap/Harness Tow Kit, V-Strap, Tow Rope and Power Tether. The $2,870.00 Complete Kit (SKU XTTSX-CK) lists those five plus "Console – Track real-time performance data for precise training feedback." So the console is the $71.00 difference between the kits, against $179.00 bought alone.
Why it matters — Every other TANK either pushes in one direction on four wheels or turns on three. The SX is the first that does both — four wheels for stability under load, rear swivels for lateral work — and that combination is the reason to consider it over the $2,499.00 MX rather than a reason to spend $200 more on the same idea. It is also the heaviest sled in the line by a wide margin: 303 lb against the M3's 209 lb and the M1s's 113 lb, on a footprint only 3.6 in longer than the M3's and the same 32.4 in wide. As with the M3, the decision is mass on the same floor rather than a bigger room. The console economics are unusually legible here, and worth knowing before ordering: the Complete Kit costs $71.00 more than the Athlete Kit and the only difference between their contents is the console, which Torque sells separately at $179.00. Anyone who wants it should take the kit.
Watch for
Torque contradicts itself on when this ships, and the contradiction sits between pages selling the same machine. The sled's own page reads "SHIPPING EARLY 2027" and "Reserve Yours Now!", while both the Athlete Kit and Complete Kit pages — each of which contains that same sled — read "In stock and ready to ship"; "shipping early 2027" and "reserve yours now" return zero occurrences on the Complete Kit page in both rendered text and the deep DOM. Both strings are recorded here rather than resolved, because resolving them would mean guessing. Confirm your ship date with Torque in writing before paying. Torque publishes no load, capacity or resistance-force figure for the SX. The word "capacity" returns zero occurrences in the rendered page, zero in the deep DOM and zero in 822,920 characters of raw HTML, as do "max load", "maximum load", "load capacity" and "weight capacity". Mass is published (303 lb) and resistance is published only as a count of settings. No tire size, no second dimension mode and no per-horn capacity are published either. The weight-horn count is published only on the comparison page, not the product page: "Weight Horns (2)", against "Weight Horns (3)" for the M1s and M3 and "Weight Horn (1)" for the M1. So the heaviest TANK carries fewer horns than the two beneath it. The Athlete Kit page is partly un-rewritten M3 copy: its own body renders "Why Choose the TANK M3 Athlete Kit?" and "What's Included in the TANK M3 Athlete Kit?" on a page selling the SX, and the same wording appears inside that page's JSON-LD description. Do not read that page's headings as SX facts. The V-Strap is billed twice. The sled page says "Tow Hook and V-Strap Included" and the FAQ says the SX ships with it, yet the Athlete Kit lists "TANK V-Strap" among the priced items making up its $2,983.00 regular price. Torque's comparison page is not a reliable price source for this line: it renders "From $799" for the M1 where this index records $849.00, and "From $1,699" for the M3 where both the product page and Shopify report $1,799.00. The SX column there exists but is unpriced, and its "shop now" is a styled span with no link at all. The comparison page's intro still reads "Three varying levels of magnetic resistance means it is tailored to the effort that you put into it", which the SX's five settings now contradict. Torque's SX FAQ also contains a duplicated clause ("adds rear-swivel wheels for lateral work under load" twice); quote it only with [sic].

Digital & compact systems
Speediance
Coming soonGM Ultra
Timing — Pre-order opened on Speediance’s own store on August 31, 2026 in two payments, and the deposit path has been closed since Sept 10, 2026: the deposit page reads Sold out, its cart form contains exactly one control, disabled, and schema availability is OutOfStock, with a waiting-list email capture in place of a buy control. Re-verified Sept 28, 2026, unchanged. Stating the mechanic more precisely than this entry previously did: the $399.00 paid up front is not a simple deposit against the balance - Speediance’s own terms describe it as buying an exclusive pre-order coupon with an $899 face value that is redeemed against the balance, and the visible three-step block reads "1. $399 TODAY / 2. $899 OFF Exclusive Pre-Order Coupon / 3. $6,100 LATER". A separate full-price listing at $6,999.00 has appeared and is also Sold out.
Up to 260 lb of digital resistance with new lat-pulldown and leg-press modules in a professional all-in-one platform.
Why it matters — The attachments move digital gyms closer to the heavy bilateral patterns that conventional smart trainers often miss.
Watch for
The $6,999.00 full-price listing sits $500 above the $6,499 implied by the two-payment route ($399 up front plus a $6,100 balance), so which number a buyer pays depends entirely on which path reopens - confirm the all-in figure before committing. The October 2026 balance window is unchanged and has not firmed, stated verbatim in the collapsed Pre-Order Terms modal as "We expect to invite customers to complete their balance payment in October 2026 (the exact timing may be adjusted due to production, inventory, or logistics conditions; the latest official notice will govern)". That sentence renders zero times only because the modal is collapsed, not because it was removed - do not read its absence as a change. No second batch has opened and no date narrowing has appeared. Subscription terms, offline mode, eccentric limits, attachment storage, repair path and what happens if software support ends are all still unstated.

Functional trainers
Mikolo
Coming soonFALCON 2.0 Centralized Lat & Row Trainer
Timing — Preorder open and orderable at $2,499.99, re-verified Oct 1, 2026 by a rendered browser read with an enabled Add to Cart and schema.org/InStock. The ship window has slipped a month: the single variant is now named "FALCON™-2.0 (Ships in Late Oct.)", where on Sept 10 it read "(Ships in Late Sept.)". The $500 checkout discount is gone — the "$500 OFF - From $1,999" banner no longer appears and no "auto-applied" text exists anywhere on the page — so the price a buyer pays has risen from a net $1,999.99 to $2,499.99 flat. Mikolo's page renders client-side and will not read in a text-only fetch.
A functional trainer organized around a centralized heavier lat-pulldown and low-row path. Mikolo publishes dual 200 lb weight stacks, a 2:1 centralized lat and row system, 92-inch cable travel and a 35-inch depth.
Why it matters — It addresses the common problem of dual light cable arms that feel fine for flyes but inadequate for bilateral back work.
Watch for
Whether the late-October window holds, having already moved once from late September, and whether the $500 discount returns. Three reading traps on this page, all verified Oct 1. The compare_at_price is 249999 against a price of 249999 — equal to itself — so the "Sale price" label is not a discount and no sale should be recorded from it. A $1,999.99 string appears on some loads and vanishes on re-read; a targeted DOM hunt found zero visible nodes containing it, and it belongs to a rotating recommendations carousel rather than to this machine, so the old note attributing it to the M4-2.0 Elite is also not something to rely on. A sitewide "FALL SALE: Save Up To $600 | Oct. 1-15" bar is live and is not product-specific. Trolley adjustment, centered cable routing and whether the bench and footplate align cleanly are still unpublished.

Lower-body machines
RitFit
Coming soonSeal 2-in-1 Linear Row
Timing — Expected Q4 2026 per HomeGymCon. A full newest-first catalog listing and site searches for "seal", "seal row", "linear row" and "2-in-1" on 2026-09-02 returned no matching SKU on RitFit's site, where LPM2 remains the live row naming.
Linear-bearing row with adjustable backrest, sliding seat and chest pad, plus three handle widths for users roughly 5 ft 3 in to 6 ft 5 in.
Why it matters — It targets both bent-over and supported rowing with more user fit than a fixed home-gym row machine.
Watch for
The listed 77-in width is substantial; verify the production footprint, handle path and plate clearance.

GMWD
Coming soonAscent DD12 Leg Press and Hack Squat Machine
Timing — Pre-order, re-verified Oct 15, 2026: both colourways (White, Black) carry the variant label "Pre-Order | Ships in January 2027" and are orderable now, with a visible Add To Cart carrying no disabled attribute and aria-disabled null. Part of GMWD's six-machine Ascent line, all published to GMWD's store on Sept 28, 2026 with the same January 2027 ship window. The price layers stopped agreeing on Oct 15, 2026, and a buyer needs to know which one to read. GMWD raised this machine's listed price: its variant data and its structured data both moved from $1,999.99 to $2,199.99, and the main price block now renders "Sale price $2,199.99 USD / Regular price $2,499.99 USD / Save 12%" where it had previously shown a larger saving against the same list price. Immediately below it the page renders a separate offer block reading "Ascent Launch Offer - Save $200 / Your price: $1,999.99 $2,199.99 / Exclusively for early supporters", with the $2,199.99 struck through. So the figure a buyer is told to pay is unchanged at $1,999.99, but it is now held there by an offer block rather than by the product's own price. This index has no prior rendered read of this page, so whether that offer block is new on Oct 15 cannot be established from our own record - only that the underlying price moved on this date. The $1,999.99 could not be confirmed as applied at checkout, because confirming it would require placing the item in a cart. This was product-specific rather than a line-wide repricing: the other five Ascent machines were read the same day from the same store data and none of their prices moved.
Plate-loaded leg press and hack squat combination with a calf-raise position (GMWD's own product tags list leg press, hack squat and calf raise). GMWD's page publishes no dimensions or load capacity in its product description as of Oct 5, 2026.
Why it matters — The top of GMWD's new Ascent line and a direct price rival to the plate-loaded leg press / hack squat combos the hub already tracks, such as Temple of Gainz' Quadsend at $4,199.99, at under half that price.
Watch for
No published dimensions or capacity yet, which is the first thing to check on a leg press before it is anything else. This is a pre-order still roughly three months out: the price is real but the machine is not shipping yet, and GMWD's January 2027 date has not been tested by a single delivery. Watch what is holding the price. As of Oct 15, 2026 the machine's own listed price is $2,199.99 and the $1,999.99 you are quoted comes from a separate "Ascent Launch Offer" block aimed at "early supporters". If that block ends, nothing else on the page has to change for the price to be $200 higher, because the underlying price has already moved. Confirm the $1,999.99 survives into the cart before ordering, and get it in writing on a pre-order you will not receive until January.

GMWD
Coming soonAscent HB2 Selectorized Hip Thrust Machine
Timing — Pre-order, re-verified Oct 16, 2026 by the index's first rendered read of this page: both colourways (White, DG-HB02-W; Black, DG-HB02-B) carry the variant label "Pre-Order | Ships in January 2027" and are orderable now, with a visible Add To Cart carrying no disabled attribute and aria-disabled null, read twice about twenty-five seconds apart. A second add-to-cart element exists but is not visible, so the control was judged on attributes rather than on text. Part of GMWD's six-machine Ascent line, all published to GMWD's store on Sept 28, 2026 with the same January 2027 ship window. The price layers stopped agreeing on Oct 16, 2026, and the two layers move in opposite directions from what this index had recorded. GMWD raised the machine's own listed price: its variant data and its single JSON-LD ProductGroup now both read $1,799.99 on both colourways, and the main price block renders "Sale price $1,799.99 USD / Regular price $2,199.99 USD / Save 18%" with the compare-at held at $2,199.99. Immediately below it the page renders a separate visible offer block reading "Ascent Launch Offer — Save $300 / Your price: $1,499.99 / Exclusively for early supporters", with the $1,799.99 struck through and confirmed as computed line-through. So the figure a buyer is quoted is $1,499.99 while the machine's own price is $1,799.99. That offer block is theme custom-liquid with no Shopify discount mechanics behind it: discount_code, discountCode, applied_discount and automatic discount each return zero occurrences in the raw HTML and the word discount renders nowhere. It is the same construction as the blocks on the DD12 and the SR9 — but unlike the SR9's, this one is current rather than stale decoration, because the figure it strikes through is the price the page is actually charging today. This index has no rendered read of this page before today, so whether the offer block is new, or its figure has changed, cannot be established from our own record — only that the underlying price moved on this date. The $1,499.99 could not be confirmed as applied at checkout, because confirming it would require placing the item in a cart. GMWD's store does not expose inventory_policy or inventory_quantity on this product, so the orderable-versus-in-stock test cannot be run from inventory data here; the variant label is the only orderability evidence, and it says pre-order.
Selectorized hip thrust: a 200 lb weight stack in 10 lb increments with a selector pin, plus integrated band pegs for adding resistance bands on top of the stack.
Why it matters — A weight stack makes this the quick-change option for drop sets, where a plate-loaded hip thrust means stripping plates between sets.
Watch for
A 200 lb stack is a hard ceiling for a hip thrust, a movement many lifters load past quickly; the band pegs are the only way above it. This is a pre-order still roughly three months out: the price is real but the machine is not shipping yet, and GMWD's January 2027 date has not been tested by a single delivery. Watch what is holding the price, because it is not the machine's own price. As of Oct 16, 2026 the listed price is $1,799.99 and the $1,499.99 you are quoted comes from a separate "Ascent Launch Offer" block aimed at "early supporters". If that block ends, nothing else on the page has to change for the price to be $300 higher. The offer block carries no discount code and no automatic-discount mechanics, so there is nothing a buyer can verify in advance — confirm the $1,499.99 survives into the cart before ordering, and get it in writing on a machine you will not receive until January. The same offer-block pattern now appears on three Ascent machines, so when comparing within the line, compare the listed prices as well as the quoted ones; the two no longer tell the same story.

GMWD
Coming soonAscent HA3 Selectorized Hip Abductor and Adductor Machine
Timing — Pre-order, verified Oct 5, 2026: both colourways (White, Black) carry the variant label "Pre-Order | Ships in January 2027" and are orderable now. Part of GMWD's six-machine Ascent line, all published to GMWD's store on Sept 28, 2026 with the same January 2027 ship window.
Combined hip abductor / adductor on a built-in 200 lb weight stack.
Why it matters — The second inner/outer thigh machine in the index, at roughly half the price of Body-Solid's Pro Select GIOT-STK.
Watch for
A single-purpose machine: it earns its footprint only if hip abduction and adduction are a regular part of your training. This is a pre-order three months out: the price is real but the machine is not shipping yet, and GMWD's date has not been tested by a single delivery.

GMWD
Coming soonAscent SR9 Dual-Sided Linear Row Machine
Timing — Pre-order and repriced upward. Verified Oct 8, 2026 at each colourway's own ?variant= URL, with the variant id, the checked radio label and location.href all asserted in the same execution as the price: White (67533309640979) and Black (67533309673747) both render "Sale price $1,299.99 USD / Regular price $1,699.99 USD / Save 24%", with the $1,699.99 in a compare-at node computing text-decoration-line: line-through, and JSON-LD giving both variants price 1299.99 and InStock (SKUs DG-SR09-W / DG-SR09-B). Add to cart is visible and enabled on both. The ship window did NOT move: both variant labels and both JSON-LD variant names still read exactly "Pre-Order | Ships in January 2027". Only the price changed. On Oct 5, 2026 this machine was $1,199.99.
Dual-sided plate-loaded linear row on commercial linear bearings and hardened chrome guide rods.
Why it matters — Still the cheapest dual-sided linear row in the index, but the margin has narrowed. At $1,299.99 it undercuts ATX's dual-sided LRX-750 by $199.01 rather than the $299.01 it undercut it by a week ago - and as of Oct 8, 2026 the ATX machine is out of stock with no add-to-cart control and no published restock date, so the comparison is between a pre-order you can place and a machine you cannot buy at all.
Watch for
No published capacity or dimensions yet in GMWD's product description. This is a pre-order three months out: the price is real but the machine is not shipping yet, and GMWD's date has not been tested by a single delivery. Anyone who pre-ordered before Oct 8, 2026 paid $1,199.99 for the same January 2027 ship window. Do not expect the $1,099.99 the page advertises. A hardcoded block headed "Ascent Launch Offer - Save $100" renders "Your price: $1,099.99" with $1,199.99 struck through, "Exclusively for early supporters". That block is a static inline-styled div with no Shopify discount mechanics behind it - no code, no date range, nothing applied at checkout - and its struck figure is the OLD list price, so GMWD raised the price to $1,299.99 and left the launch-offer block untouched. The live price controls are unambiguous: $1,299.99 against a struck $1,699.99. By contrast the identical block on the Ascent FR2 still strikes a figure that matches that machine's live price, which is how the SR9 block is known to be stale rather than merely decorative. The colourway asymmetry this entry previously recorded is gone: White and Black now both carry a $1,699.99 compare-at, where on Oct 5 White showed $1,499.99 and Black $2,499.99 at an identical sale price. A regular price can now be recorded, because GMWD finally publishes the same one for both colours. The asymmetry does persist on the Ascent FR2 ($1,799.99 White against $2,499.99 Black), so it has been fixed on this machine, not across the line.

Coming soonAscent SR10 Chest-Supported T-Bar Row Machine
Timing — Pre-order, verified Oct 5, 2026: both colourways (White, Black) carry the variant label "Pre-Order | Ships in January 2027" and are orderable now. Part of GMWD's six-machine Ascent line, all published to GMWD's store on Sept 28, 2026 with the same January 2027 ship window.
Plate-loaded chest-supported T-bar row (GMWD tags it back and lats).
Why it matters — Sits well above Mikolo's $369.99 T-bar S7 in price; the case for it will rest on capacity and build, which GMWD has not yet published.
Watch for
No published capacity or dimensions yet in GMWD's product description. This is a pre-order three months out: the price is real but the machine is not shipping yet, and GMWD's date has not been tested by a single delivery.

Coming soonAscent FR2 Selectorized Pec Fly and Rear Delt Machine
Timing — Pre-order, verified Oct 5, 2026: both colourways (White, Black) carry the variant label "Pre-Order | Ships in January 2027" and are orderable now. Part of GMWD's six-machine Ascent line, all published to GMWD's store on Sept 28, 2026 with the same January 2027 ship window.
Selectorized pec fly / rear delt machine with adjustable arm and seat positions on magnetic adjustment pins, precision bearings and all-aluminium pulleys.
Why it matters — A dual-purpose isolation machine for chest and rear delts, a pairing usually found only in commercial gyms.
Watch for
Stack weight is not stated in the product description. This is a pre-order three months out: the price is real but the machine is not shipping yet, and GMWD's date has not been tested by a single delivery. GMWD lists different compare-at figures for the two colourways ($1,799.99 White, $2,499.99 Black), so the index records no regular price.

Racks & multi-systems
Force USA
Coming soonC20
Timing — Orderable at $6,499 with no ship date published, re-verified Oct 1, 2026 on two independent rendered loads. Force USA has now switched off the sold-out preorder blurb this entry has tracked since August: its container carries display:none, and "pre-order" returns zero occurrences in rendered text against 62 in raw HTML. The page therefore presents as an ordinary in-stock listing — $6,499, schema.org/InStock on SKU F-C20, visible BUY control enabled and not disabled — with no preorder framing anywhere a buyer can see. What the hidden text shows is that nothing was resolved: the "Expected Shipping Date:" label is still followed by an empty value, so no date was ever published on this run. The ship-date field has now held four states in eighteen days — blank for fifteen consecutive checks, an already-past 2026-09-14 on Sept 15, a forward-dated 2026-10-07 from Sept 23 to Sept 26, blank again from Sept 27, and now blank with the surrounding preorder notice hidden as well.
All-in-one system combining a power rack, functional trainer and Smith machine on 3×3-in, 11-gauge steel: dual 200-lb stacks upgradeable to 300 lb, cable resistance to 600 lb, 22 attachments and a center cable system, in roughly 37 sq ft.
Why it matters — Force USA calls it the most advanced system it has built, and at $6,499 it sets the new price ceiling for the all-in-one bracket — the benchmark the Body-Solid GSFR100 will have to price against.
Watch for
Force USA has stopped calling the C20 sold out rather than telling anyone when it ships. The page reads as straightforwardly in stock now, which is a weaker signal than it looks: the shipping-date field it used to fill is still empty in the source, so there is no published date behind the cleaner presentation. Get a ship date in writing before paying rather than trusting what the page displays, and treat the absence of the old warning as a presentation change rather than evidence the backlog cleared. The add-on tiles remain the other trap on this page: every visible disabled SOLD OUT button belongs to an accessory tile, never to the C20 itself. As of Oct 1 four are sold out, at $849, $249, $199 and $60. Tile counts and prices on this page churn week to week and two tiles have shared a price before, so walk up from any SOLD OUT button to its own container before attributing it to anything. The redesigned 2027-model C10 ($4,699) is retail-exclusive and not sold online, a real constraint if you were planning to order the cheaper sibling instead.

Adjustable dumbbells
UNBell
AnnouncedUNBell Hybrid Dumbbell–Kettlebell
Timing — Still not purchasable. UNBell's own site at unbell.com runs an interest registration rather than a sale — its banner reads "UNBELL PRE-ORDER INTEREST REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN" and the registration page states plainly "This is not a purchase. There's no commitment. Just early access." No price appears anywhere on the domain as of Sept 17, 2026.
Adjusts from 5 to 65 lb and can shift from balanced to intentionally offset loading using modular inserts and external handles.
Why it matters — It treats load distribution as an adjustable variable, not just total weight, which opens carries, rotational control and asymmetrical training.
Watch for
UNBell told registrants on Jan 28, 2026 that pre-orders would go live "in the next 60-90 days". That window expired in late April 2026, and roughly eight months on the site still offers registration only, with no pre-order path and no published price — so treat any timing UNBell gives as aspirational. The first run is stated as "Limited to 200-400 units total" and "US-only shipping for the initial release", with pre-orders "offered in the order people register", so registration order is likely to matter more than it usually would. Published adjustment range is 5-65 lbs.

REP x Snode
AnnouncedAD85S Adjustable Dumbbells
Timing — Not listed on repfitness.com or snodesport.com as of 2026-08-19; Snode's US catalog carries only AD80-series models ($397.50-$1,344). The REP x Snode collab may use different retail branding when it lands.
Quick-change adjustable dumbbells expanding from 10 to 120 lb, with a cage-free, full-metal build and a selector reviewers found faster than the industry-standard Nuobells.
Why it matters — The cage-free shape and fast selector solve two common adjustable-dumbbell complaints at once: bulky per-rep handling and slow changes between sets.
Watch for
Reviewers flagged a steep price jump versus the source hardware — Snode's own AD85S sells for about €670, while this REP-branded 85-lb version launched at $1,099.99, roughly 64% more for the same weight. Confirm you are paying for a real difference, not just the badge.

Rack & cable attachments
Dialed Motion
AnnouncedStrap Safeties
Timing — Still not orderable as of Oct 15, 2026, but the reopening is now dated to the hour and the product has been rebuilt. The store-wide banner reads "Next Preorder 10/20/26 9am PT", replacing the "Next Preorder Oct. 2026" wording this entry recorded on Sept 26, and the only buy control is a visible button reading PREORDER 10/20 that still carries a true disabled attribute (aria-disabled null), identical across three reads 8.5 minutes apart. So the label narrowed and the state did not: ordering has not opened, and 10/20/2026 sits inside the October window Dialed Motion had already published rather than being a slip out of it. The variant set was rebuilt rather than extended. Four variants now exist, not eight, all at a price value of 359.00 USD and all returning available:false, with schema availability OutOfStock on every offer and no contradicting block. Only two option dimensions remain, rack hardware size and length; the strap option is gone, which is what collapsed eight variants to four. Every variant id this index had tracked returns zero occurrences in the page's raw HTML, and the four surviving ids are numerically lower than the deleted ones - on a platform whose ids ascend with creation time that points to the cheaper carriage-only variants having been deleted and the original with-straps set restored ahead of the window, rather than to new variants being minted for it. That reading is an inference from id ordering, not something the page states. Two things could not be read and are not being guessed at: the page exposes no inventory policy or quantity anywhere, so whether overselling is armed for 10/20 is unknown; and the FAQ accordion body rendered no text. Dialed Motion still publishes no ship date for these at all - the only other date in the document is a customer review dated 09/27/2026 - so the window tells a buyer when they can pay, not when anything arrives. The exact strings "October 2026", "Oct 2026", "Oct. 2026" and "Oct '26" in both apostrophe forms all return zero occurrences in rendered text and raw HTML, so the month wording this entry quoted is simply gone, superseded by the dated form.
Four plastic-lined metal carriages (3 lb 3 oz each, 4 inches tall) ride the uprights on integrated magnets that guide them up and down, with four MagPins included and straps optional — 31 inches total strap length on the 30-inch model, 44 inches on the 43-inch. Available in 5/8-inch or 1-inch hardware. Dialed Motion states the system is drop tested to 1,000 lb and designed for racks with 2-inch hole spacing on the sides of the uprights. The brand's specifications panel also publishes the mounting geometry: strap bolt diameter 5/8 inch, and strap-bolt to strap-bolt distance 27.78 inches on the 30-inch model and 40.78 inches on the 43-inch.
Why it matters — Straps catch a missed bar more quietly and more gently than steel, and magnets remove the fumbling that stops people from moving safeties between lifts at all. Dialed Motion is the same shop behind the Multifly prototype tracked below.
Watch for
The cheap way in has been removed. Until Oct 15, 2026 the carriages-and-MagPins-only configuration was the entry point to this product and straps were a paid add-on; that tier no longer exists, straps are now standard (What's Included reads "4X Plastic lined Metal Carriage4X Magpin2X Strap"), and every configuration is the same single price. If you were planning to buy the strapless version, it is not on the table on 10/20. Ordering reopens at a stated 9am PT on 10/20/2026 and this is a batch pre-order on a store that closes between windows, so the practical risk is missing it rather than choosing wrong. Nothing is purchasable before then, and the control is genuinely disabled rather than merely styled that way. There is still no published ship date, which matters more than usual here: the window tells you when money leaves, not when anything arrives, and Dialed Motion has never published a date for these. Ask for one in writing before paying. The 2-inch side hole spacing requirement rules out a lot of racks, and wider spacing costs height adjustability. The weight figure is Dialed Motion's own drop test, not third-party verification.

JD Gym Equipped
AnnouncedStable Curl Attachment
Timing — HomeGymCon release
A wrist-supported cable handle that transfers some demand to the forearm for curls, pressdowns and pullovers.
Why it matters — It may help clients train around wrist discomfort while still loading elbow flexion and extension.
Watch for
Fit across forearm sizes, pressure points, whether support changes the intended exercise and final handle weight.

JD Gym Equipped
AnnouncedAdjustable Rotating Pull-Up Handles
Timing — HomeGymCon release. Still not located as a purchasable SKU: as of Sept 17, 2026 no product on jdgymequipped.com contains the word "Rotating", and the site's only pull-up handle product is a different item (see watchFor).
Clamp-on handles can lock at several angles or rotate freely on an existing pull-up bar or crossmember.
Why it matters — One attachment can serve neutral, angled and rotating grips without replacing a rack crossmember.
Watch for
Do NOT equate this with JD Gym Equipped's "Adjustable Angle Pull-Up Handles" ($420.00, made to order, out of stock but available for pre-order, 7-8 week lead time). Re-checked in full on Sept 17, 2026: that product's complete configurator offers Handle size (1.25" Stationary Handles or 1" Stationary Handles), Mount Type (3x3-1", 3x3-5/8", or pull-up bar mount at +$40.00) and Knurl Pattern (semi or extremely aggressive at +$20.00) — every handle option is stationary, and the words rotating, rotate, rotation, swivel, pivot and articulating each return zero occurrences in the rendered page, the live DOM and the raw HTML. Rotation is the defining feature claimed here, so the two are not the same product and the $420.00 price does not belong to this entry. Clamp security, grip spacing, rotation smoothness, ceiling clearance and crossmember fit all remain unverified.

REP
AnnouncedCentral Leg Roller
Timing — REP's original teaser (July/Summer 2026) still has no dedicated product page as of Aug 2026, but REP's new-products page now lists two related pre-order attachments — 'Adjustable Bench Leg Roller Attachment 2.0' and 'Leg Extension & Leg Curl Bench Attachment' — that may or may not be the same item under new naming. Price and ship date not yet confirmed for either.
A two-upright central roller with multiple adjustment points and a listed 500-lb capacity.
Why it matters — Two-upright support should feel more stable than a single-side roller for pulldowns, split squats and bracing.
Watch for
Rack space consumed, adjustment speed, minimum and maximum height, pad length and price.

Kodo Gi Grips
AnnouncedRack-Attached Climbing Holds
Timing — Jug hold listed at $109.00 per pair on kodogigrips.com, re-verified Oct 1, 2026. Availability is now settled and it is partial rather than clean: of the four jug variants, only one is buyable — 5/8" hardware in Kodo Blue — while 1"/Kodo Blue, 1"/Stealth Mode and 5/8"/Stealth Mode are all unavailable. The page's four contradictory schema blocks map one-to-one onto those four variants (three OutOfStock, one InStock), which is what made the Sept 9 read ambiguous. The default-checked options are 5/8" and Kodo Blue, the in-stock combination, which is why the Add to cart control is visible and enabled and legitimately so.
Polyurethane jug and sphere holds fit 3×3 crossmembers with either 5/8- or 1-in hardware. Kodo Gi sells the jug under the retail title "Jug Climbing Hold Rack Attachment" and lists a companion "Climbing Sphere Rack Attachment" for open-handed grip work, confirming this is a series rather than a single hold. Sold as pairs, in Kodo Blue or Stealth Mode.
Why it matters — They add scalable grip and tendon training to the rack without a separate climbing board.
Watch for
Two buying facts worth knowing. The $109.00 is for a pair, not a single hold — the page states "Sold as pairs" — so a rack setup using both a jug pair and a sphere pair is two purchases. And availability is variant-deep: the enabled Add to cart you land on reflects the one in-stock combination (5/8" hardware, Kodo Blue), so if you need 1" hardware or the Stealth Mode finish, the jug is currently unavailable to you. The visible "Variant sold out or unavailable" labels are badges on the other radio options, not a statement about the product as a whole, which is the theme ambiguity that blocked the earlier read. Two catalogue facts this entry did not carry: there is now a White Sand colourway alongside Kodo Blue and Stealth Mode, and the sphere hold comes in a 4" size. The separate "Sphere Climbing Hold Rack Attachment" is $109.00 for nine of its ten variants with one at $125.00 (4"/Stealth Mode/1"), and only the two 3"/White Sand variants are in stock. A third series member exists that this entry does not track at all: a Climbing Hold Pinch Block at $45.00, $49.00 or $59.00 by width, all in stock. The brand's own retail name is "Jug Climbing Hold Rack Attachment"; this entry's title comes from the show listing. Texture comfort, spin resistance, hardware fit, clearance and sensible progression for elbows and fingers all remain untested.

Conditioning & hybrid
Mutant Metals
AnnouncedSki2
Timing — HomeGymCon release, and the product has now been located on a maker's own store. A full catalog check of Mutant Metals on 2026-09-02 found no Ski2 or any ski-erg product among its 14 live items, and that check was correct: verified Oct 2, 2026, the Ski2 is sold by F&F Steel at fandfsteel.com/products/ski2 as the "Ski2 - Concept2 Rower Conversion Mount", SKU SKI2, at $149.99, buyable with a visible enabled ADD TO CART and schema.org/InStock. "Mutant Metals" appears nowhere on that page. The listing also carries "*Orders will ship week of 9/28*", a note already in the past at this read, so treat it as describing a shipped batch rather than a window a new buyer can rely on. The brand field above still reads Mutant Metals and is pending a correction decision, because this index keys both its on-page anchors and its public price record to brand plus name, so changing it moves the anchor and orphans the existing price record.
A quick-mount system that converts a Concept2 RowErg into a wall- or rack-mounted ski trainer, including a split low-ceiling setup.
Why it matters — It gives one proven cardio machine two movement patterns without buying and storing a separate SkiErg.
Watch for
Conversion time, RowErg warranty implications, mount rigidity, floor protection and whether low-ceiling kneeling work is appealing.

SOLE
AnnouncedLCR Exercise Bike
Timing — Listed and fully priced at $2,299.99 but not sellable, verified Oct 5, 2026: the buy control is a visible SOLD OUT button with disabled:true, beside an enabled "Notify Me When Available" link, and the structured data reads schema.org/OutOfStock. SOLE publishes no ship date, no pre-order path, no restock date and no lead time - the only timing wording on the page concerns delivery method, "Ships LTL freight, curbside delivery".
A recumbent exercise bike listed with a 15.6-inch touchscreen and EMS resistance. The listing is complete and priced; SOLE has simply published it without a buy path.
Why it matters — A published price with no purchase path is still a planning number, and this is the figure to hold SOLE to when the bike does become orderable. It also marks where SOLE is positioning a recumbent against its own R92 at $1,299.99 - a $1,000.00 gap inside one brand's new bike line, which is the comparison a buyer actually faces.
Watch for
There is no date, so there is nothing to plan around yet - treat $2,299.99 as announced rather than available, and expect the figure to be the first thing that can move before it ships. The R92 published the same day in the same state, which suggests a SOLE publishing decision rather than a stockout. Watch whether a date appears on the page itself rather than relying on the notify-me signup. No specifications beyond the touchscreen size and resistance type are recorded here, because the page's specification depth was not audited at this check.

SOLE
AnnouncedR92 Exercise Bike
Timing — Listed and fully priced at $1,299.99 but not sellable, verified Oct 5, 2026: visible SOLD OUT button with disabled:true, enabled "Notify Me When Available" link, structured data schema.org/OutOfStock. No ship date, pre-order path, restock date or lead time published.
An exercise bike listed with a mesh seat and 20 resistance levels. Listing complete and priced, with no buy path.
Why it matters — It is the cheaper half of SOLE's new bike pair and the more likely entry point of the two at $1,299.99, making it the figure that matters most to a buyer comparing SOLE against the budget end of the category.
Watch for
Same caution as the LCR: no date of any kind is published, so this is an announced price rather than an available product. Both bikes went up in the same state on the same day; a date appearing on the page is the signal, not the notify-me form. Specifications beyond the seat and resistance-level count were not audited at this check.

Functional trainers
Get RXd
AnnouncedRX3 Tornado X Arms
Timing — Purchasable on Get RXd's Shopify store at $90.00 per arm, sold in pairs only for $180.00, with an enabled Add to Cart and schema.org/InStock, re-verified Oct 1, 2026. The page now publishes two different dates for the same order. Its title and breadcrumb read "TORNADO X RETROFIT KIT [AVAILABLE 11/27]", where on Sept 17 they read 11/06; the preorder notice beneath still reads "This item is on preorder. If added to your order, your entire order (including in-stock items) will ship on 11/06." The two are three weeks apart and Get RXd has not reconciled them. Neither date carries a year anywhere on the page. Re-verified Oct 2, 2026, the page additionally publishes a third timing statement that reconciles the title: "General availability is expected around the end of November." Until then the kit is stated to be reserved for RX3 Tornado owners.
Articulating arms with 2:1 for smooth travel and 5-lb jumps, plus 1:1 for full-stack pulls. Joining the two pull points creates a 1:1.5 ratio, which Get RXd says gives up to 300 lb of effective resistance from a 200 lb stack. Updated arms self-right to reduce cable twist.
Why it matters — This is the most clearly explained switchable-ratio articulating system from the show and directly addresses heavy pulldowns and rows.
Watch for
Which of the two dates governs — the 11/27 in the product title or the 11/06 in the preorder notice — matters most if you are ordering the kit alongside in-stock items, because the notice says the whole order waits for the kit. Get the governing date in writing before combining orders. Neither date carries a year, so do not read either as 2026. The purchase restriction has returned. Re-verified Oct 2, 2026, the page states "Due to limited inventory, Tornado X Retrofit Kits are currently reserved for new and existing Get RX'd RX3 Tornado rack owners" in a visible description panel, and the same sentence is the product's own structured-data description. It directs owners to a path that is not the cart: "If you already purchased an RX3 Tornado rack from us, contact sales@getrxd.com to order." Add to Cart nevertheless remains visible and enabled for anyone and the schema still reads InStock, so the cart will accept an order that the stated policy may not honour. This entry previously recorded the phrase as gone, on readings from Sept 17 to Oct 1 that found zero occurrences; it was present Sept 7, absent across that window, and present again Oct 2, so read it as inventory-gated and liable to move rather than settled. Note also that the explicit non-RX3 option, "I am installing this on a non-RX3 rack (No cable)", is not an exception to the restriction: it governs whether a replacement cable is included, because "cable lengths and cable end connections vary between manufacturers, a cable is not included for non-RX3 installations." Two things to check before ordering: replacement cables are included only for RX3 Tornado racks, not for third-party systems, and a rack-model selection is required so Get RXd can match the cable. The Shopify listing displays $0.00 as its headline figure with the kit added as a required option — that is a bundle-shell artifact, not a price. Get RXd's own July 8, 2026 blog post announcing the Tornado X still links to a product URL that 404s. Whether this entry should become the retrofit kit, fold into the pivot-arm set, or stay a separate announced product remains an open naming decision. Three hands-on reviews are in: Kinzi (Aug 15), Ryan Treadaway (Sept 13) and Hybrid Resistance (Sept 30). All three confirm the 2:1, 1:1 and combined 1:1.5 modes work. All three found the longer arms collide when pointed straight at each other, which moving one notch out fixes. They split on feel. Kinzi found the 1:1.5 mode surprisingly smooth with no cable twist, Ryan found it slightly less smooth, and Hybrid Resistance found the arms heavy enough to sag and snag the cable. Two of the three urge pairing the kit with the rollered Trolley 2.0, which Get RXd now ships standard on new Pivot Arms. One practical tip: Get RXd's stack stickers are labeled for 2:1, so double the sticker at 1:1 and triple it at 1:1.5.

REP
AnnouncedArticulating Trolley Arms
Timing — Listed as coming soon in REP's own HomeGymCon recap (Aug 2026); no product page yet
Seven-direction swivel arms rated to 220 lb for Ares 1.0, Ares 2.0 and Athena systems, with mid-arm linking for heavier work.
Why it matters — They add Prime-style freedom to a widely owned rack-cable ecosystem without replacing the rack.

Fringe Sport
AnnouncedThe Great Dane
Timing — Dated but not yet purchasable, verified Oct 9, 2026 on Fringe Sport's own product page. The page renders "DROPS OCTOBER 23" and "DROPPING 10.23.26" alongside a live countdown, and the listed price is $3,499. There is no purchase control of any kind: zero form[action*="/cart/add"] elements exist on the page (visible or hidden), zero [name=add] elements, and "add to cart" returns 0 occurrences in rendered text (3 in raw HTML, template only). The only call to action is an email waitlist headed "GET ON THE WAITLIST" with a "Notify Me" button, under Fringe Sport's own statement: "We're starting with a limited amount of Great Danes so subscribe here, and you'll be the first to know." Read the structured data with care - the JSON-LD offer already declares schema.org/InStock at "price":3499 while no add-to-cart element exists anywhere on the page, so an automated tracker will report this as buyable before it is. The absence of a control governs. Two further notes on provenance: the page's own browser title reads "The Great Dane POS ONLY", and the product does not appear in Fringe Sport's public products.json catalog (232 products enumerated Oct 9), which is consistent with a point-of-sale-only record published ahead of the retail launch rather than with a live storefront listing.
Fringe Sport positions this as the flagship of its Dane family: a single six-upright frame combining a half rack, a functional trainer and a Smith machine. Published features, quoted from the brand's own page: a built-in Smith machine with safety hooks and an included barbell ("premium black zinc coating"), with the hooks at the top of the Smith range to keep them clear of the user's head; switchable cable ratios, 1:1 on the dedicated low row and the dedicated lat pulldown station and 2:1 off the trolleys for flies, crossovers and shoulder work; six open uprights the brand states keep the attachment ecosystem open (magpins, leg rollers, storage); dual 220 lb weight stacks, with the included Dual Weight Horns taking each stack to a stated 330 lb total if 55 lb plates are added; and wide channel pulleys. The included-hardware list is the distinguishing commercial fact and is published in full: the Smith machine, an included barbell, 2 Needle Low Profile Spotter Arms, 2 El Toro Weight Horns (one per stack), 1 dedicated Lat Pulldown Attachment, 1 Low Row Attachment, 2 J-Cups, 4 Magpins (2 for the Smith machine, 2 for the Needle spotter arms), 2 Extension Feet, 2 D-Handles, and a Lat Pulldown Bar with chain. The page's configurator summarises this as "YOUR SETUP - 11 items" with "THE GREAT DANE (BLACK)" and the extras marked "INCLUDED / IN THE BOX, FREE". Not published anywhere on the page as of Oct 9, 2026: footprint or any dimension, total unit weight, frame gauge or upright tube size, cable travel, warranty terms, assembly requirement beyond "as soon as you finish assembly", and freight or lead-time detail. Those are the specs that would place it against the Fenrir, and none of them exist yet.
Why it matters — It is priced into the gap in Fringe Sport's own line rather than against the wider market: $3,499 sits between the Dane 2.0 + Gibbon Arms at $3,199 and the Dane 2.0 Fully Loaded at $3,899, while bundling more hardware than either and adding a Smith machine and a second dedicated pulling station. Against the index's existing Fringe Sport entry, the Fenrir at $2,299 base with dual 160 lb stacks on a fixed 2:1 ratio, this is $1,200 more for 220 lb stacks, a selectable 1:1 ratio, a built-in Smith machine and the attachments the Fenrir charges $149 to $249 each for. For a buyer choosing a single machine to carry a whole room, selectable 1:1 versus 2:1 is the specification that changes what the machine can actually load, because a 2:1 trainer halves the plate weight at the handle and makes heavy rowing and pulldowns impractical.
Watch for
It is a waitlist, not a pre-order: no money can change hands on this page today and no quantity is published beyond Fringe Sport's own "limited amount". Treat the October 23 date as the brand's stated intention, not as a confirmed ship date - the page publishes no shipping window, no freight terms and no lead time, so a buyer who joins the waitlist cannot tell from this page when a unit would arrive. The price should be re-checked at launch rather than assumed. A site-wide "LIME WEEK IS LIVE! UP TO 20% OFF SITE-WIDE!" promotion was running on Fringe Sport on Oct 9 and whether it applies to this machine on Oct 23 is unknown and unknowable from the page; "up to 20%" is a ceiling, not a discount. Every specification above is the manufacturer's own claim and none of it is independently verified. The absent specs matter more than the present ones here: with no footprint or height published, this cannot yet be checked against a room, and a six-post frame with dual stacks is not a machine to buy on a price comparison alone. The 330 lb per stack figure is conditional on buying 55 lb plates that are not included.

Lower-body machines
ATX x Buffalo Bully Fab
AnnouncedGlyder Belt Squat
Timing — Expected Q4 2026; not yet on ATX's coming-soon page as of Aug 2026
A compact plate-loaded belt squat using a guided gliding mechanism to deliver a consistent path with reduced spinal loading.
Why it matters — A good belt squat is highly relevant to hard leg training, aging athletes and coaching around axial-load tolerance.
Watch for
Starting resistance, depth, belt path, loading access, price and whether the glide feels natural across different body sizes.

Racks & multi-systems
RitFit
AnnouncedMega Multi-Functional Smith Machine
Timing — Show name only — as of Aug 2026 this name appears nowhere on RitFit's retail site, where the M2 line is the current naming
3×3-in 11-gauge frame, dual 209-lb stacks, 4- or 6-upright layouts, 2:1 crossover, switchable lat station and 1:1 low row and belt squat.
Why it matters — It is unusually explicit about routing different stations at the ratios that suit their jobs.
Watch for
Price, total installed depth, cable interference, trolley feel, stack upgrade path and attachment standards.

Williams Strength
AnnouncedThe Oxen
Timing — HomeGymCon release
One system converts among half rack, yoke, farmer's carry and frame carry, with adjustable grip sizes and a sliding crossbar.
Why it matters — It consolidates four strongman stations and could be excellent for a serious athlete with outdoor carry space.
Watch for
Our only source for this system has stopped listing it. HomeGymCon's new-product-releases page no longer carries an entry for The Oxen and it does not appear on the vendors page, both re-checked verbatim on Sept 9, 2026. Williams Strength has not published a product page for it that we have found, so nothing about this system can be verified today and it has never carried a price. That is not proof it is cancelled, but treat the specification below as a show-floor description that no longer has a live source behind it. Changeover time, carry ergonomics, total weight, storage when disassembled and residential pricing all remain unknown.

Show preview
Demonstrated running at a trade show or in a video, without the manufacturer committing to a launch. Read as directional, not a promise.
Digital & compact systems
Sensol
Show previewSensol Smart Reformers (RS02 / RS03)
Timing — No machine is actually named "Smart Reformer" - it is a Sensol collection holding four separately priced models, all sold out as of Sept 7, 2026: RS02 $2,000.00, RS02 PRO $2,400.00, RS03 $2,400.00 and RS03 PRO $2,800.00.
A line of connected reformers intended to combine Pilates and strength training with a guided tutorial library, sold as RS02 and RS03 in standard and PRO trims. Sensol's wider catalogue adds three FLEX models - FLEX AIR $650.00, FLEX $1,200.00 and FLEX PRO $1,800.00 - which are also sold out.
Why it matters — It reflects the rapid collision of reformer Pilates, strength equipment and connected coaching.
Watch for
Every one of Sensol's seven listed products is sold out, so there is currently no direct buying path at all. A site-wide banner still directs buyers to retail partner Vesta Fitness to purchase "an in-stock Sensol unit before June 2026" - a deadline that has already passed and has not been updated, which makes the real purchase route unclear. What separates RS02 from RS03, and standard from PRO, is not stated. Hardware resistance range, ongoing software cost, offline use and repairability remain unverified.

Prototype
Early concept hardware — sometimes patent-pending, sometimes a single unit built for a show floor. May ship in a different form than shown, or not at all.
Adjustable dumbbells
M-Plate
PrototypeMagnetic Microloading for REP x PÉPIN FAST Dumbbells
Timing — Prototype shown at HomeGymCon
Two magnetic plates are designed to create 2.5, 5 and 7.5-lb jumps for REP x PÉPIN FAST dumbbells. Custom colors are also planned.
Why it matters — REP already ships 2.5-lb micro-adjustment plates with the FAST Series dumbbells, giving 2.5 and 5-lb jumps against a 10-lb base increment, so the coarse-progression problem is partly solved in the box. What M-Plate's prototype adds on top of that is a 7.5-lb step and a magnetic attachment, which matters most to lifters who are actually progressing in small jumps on a dumbbell that otherwise moves 10 lb at a time.
Watch for
This entry has lost its only live source, which is now the first thing to know about it. HomeGymCon's vendors page — the entry's stored source, and the origin of the claim that M-Plate's microloading is compatible with the REP x PÉPIN FAST Series — was rebuilt by Oct 1, 2026 into a bare booth table with every vendor description removed, and M-Plate is also absent from HomeGymCon's new-product-releases page. So the compatibility claim no longer appears on any approved source. M-Plate's own catalogue was read in full on Oct 1 and contains no REP, PÉPIN or FAST product: all ten products fit NÜOBELL, Snode AD80 or BowFlex 552 only, and the brand's own search returns zero products for "REP", "FAST", "PEPIN" and "microloading". What is confirmed is that the approach is real and shipping for M-Plate's other lines — the product copy describes "custom-formed extensions that fit into the second plate of the dumbbell, creating a more stable magnetic connection" and contrasts that with "flat magnetic add-ons" — so the prototype shown is plausible, just unlaunched and now unsourced. For price expectations when and if a REP-compatible version appears, M-Plate's comparable products run $39.99 for two 1.25 lb plates and $79.99 for four on the NÜOBELL and BowFlex 552, with a 2.5 lb Snode AD80 set at $134.99 (sold out) and racks at $29.99. No 7.5 lb step exists anywhere in the catalogue. Still worth settling before buying, if it ships: what this offers over the 2.5 lb micro-plates REP already includes with the dumbbells, since REP's own product page publishes 2.5 and 5 lb increments as standard. M-Plate is a separate company from REP; the original blurb claimed compatibility with the REP x PÉPIN FAST Series, not a REP partnership. Retention during dynamic reps, cradle clearance, interference with weight selection and final pricing all remain unverified.

Rack & cable attachments
Dialed Motion
PrototypeMultifly
Timing — HomeGymCon preview; targeting a release around late 2027
A quick-dock rack attachment that runs a cable through Dialed Motion's ratchet-based cable retractor, letting it swing from an upright multi-fly/pec-deck position down to a floor-level multi-hip station. It folds flat with a magnetic-hinge backpad, comes off its mount for storage, and takes swappable arm attachments (a wrist-rotation handle shown, more planned). Weighs roughly 35 lb for the head unit; works with any standard 3x3-in upright rather than a proprietary bench interface.
Why it matters — It can add the movement geometry of several selectorized stations — pec deck, rear-delt fly, multi-hip, forearm/wrist work — without permanently occupying the rack or floor, and its cable retractor is already being licensed by other home-gym brands as a cleaner alternative to manually coiling cable.
Watch for
Mounting time, storage, compatibility, resistance curve across positions, arm width, Dialed Motion's production capacity, and — per the founders — whether it ships self-manufactured or through a partner like REP; pricing is still undecided but founders guessed 'right around' $1,000, likely broken into packages by attachment.

Mythic Equipment
PrototypeHeight-Adjusting J-Cups
Timing — Patent-pending HomeGymCon debut, still unreleased and still unpriced, re-verified Oct 1, 2026 on the brand's own site. Mythic's storefront is password-locked and not selling — the brand states "Because the products are not for sale yet." — but its FAQ now answers several buying questions directly. Compatibility is narrower than the show suggested: Mythic says it "will be focusing exclusively on 1\" racks and attachments", so no 5/8\" hardware is planned at all. There will be no pre-order for the first run — "Our initial round of products (Spotter Arms, J-Cups, Roller J-Cups) will not be launching on pre-order" — with an email list getting first access to launch units instead, so availability will be a queue rather than a reservation. First-round shipping is to the contiguous United States only with no local pick-up, and manufacturing has moved from Mexico to China. No prices are published anywhere yet. The launch lineup is four named SKUs: Height-Adjusting Spotter Arms (Standard Length), Height-Adjusting Spotter Arms (Shorty Length), Height-Adjusting Standard J-Cups and Height-Adjusting Roller J-Cups.
Magnetic micro-adjustment brings roughly 1-in positioning to racks with 2-in hole spacing; standard and roller versions are rated to 1,000 lb.
Why it matters — Small height changes can materially improve unracking for bench and squat, especially across many differently sized clients.
Watch for
The rack-fit question this entry carried is now answered, and the answer narrows things: Mythic will build for 1" racks only and says it will never offer a 5/8" option, which rules the line out for a large share of home racks before any other consideration. Check your upright hardware size first. There is also no pre-order for the first run, so plan on joining the email list rather than reserving a unit. Note the brand distinguishes Standard J-Cups from Roller J-Cups as separate launch SKUs, where this entry tracks only "J-Cups". Pin security, clearance, UHMW coverage, upright wear and independent verification of the load rating all remain unverified, and no price exists to compare against.

Mythic Equipment
PrototypeHeight-Adjusting Spotter Arms
Timing — HomeGymCon debut, still unreleased and still unpriced, re-verified Oct 1, 2026 on the brand's own site. The brand confirms two lengths at launch, Standard and Shorty, named as separate SKUs. Mythic's storefront is password-locked and not selling — the brand states "Because the products are not for sale yet." — but its FAQ now answers several buying questions directly. Compatibility is narrower than the show suggested: Mythic says it "will be focusing exclusively on 1\" racks and attachments", so no 5/8\" hardware is planned at all. There will be no pre-order for the first run — "Our initial round of products (Spotter Arms, J-Cups, Roller J-Cups) will not be launching on pre-order" — with an email list getting first access to launch units instead, so availability will be a queue rather than a reservation. First-round shipping is to the contiguous United States only with no local pick-up, and manufacturing has moved from Mexico to China. No prices are published anywhere yet.
Reversible low-profile arms use an additional magnetic pin to create finer height placement and are listed at 1,000 lb.
Why it matters — Fine safety height can mean better range of motion without losing protection, particularly for benching.
Watch for
Two of this entry's open questions are answered. Length: there are two, Standard and Shorty, sold as separate SKUs. Rack compatibility: 1" racks only, with Mythic stating it will focus exclusively on 1" racks and attachments, so a 5/8" option is not planned at all — check your upright hardware size before anything else. There is also no pre-order for the first run, so plan on joining the email list rather than reserving a unit. Installation speed, left/right consistency and proof of the load rating all remain unverified, and no price exists to compare against.

Kleva Built
PrototypeKB D-Handles
Timing — HomeGymCon preview
Aluminum handles use an offset pivot to turn cable tension into palm pressure and an angled pad for a more natural wrist position.
Why it matters — Better hand support could reduce grip fatigue on high-rep cable work without aggressive knurling.
Watch for
Hand-size fit, pressure hot spots, free articulation, durability and whether the benefit survives heavier loading.

Benches & ecosystems
Mythic Equipment
PrototypeMythic Leg Extension + Leg Curl Bench Attachment
Timing — A HomeGymCon debut listing, verified present on HomeGymCon's new-product-releases page on Sept 23, 2026 under Mythic Equipment's own heading. The brand has now published a timing figure of its own: read on mythicequipment.com on Oct 1, 2026, Mythic states this attachment launches "Early 2027, we are currently making design updates with the feedback from Home Gym Con." It is not in the four-SKU first-round launch lineup (spotter arms in two lengths, standard J-cups, roller J-cups), so it follows that round rather than shipping with it. No retail price, no orderable page.
Plate- or cable-loaded, three selectable resistance-curve positions, and mounts to benches, racks or even a suitable plyo box.
Why it matters — Universal mounting and adjustable strength curves address two weaknesses of most bench-specific leg developers.
Watch for
Early 2027 is the brand's own figure and it is a quarter-level estimate rather than a date, published while Mythic says it is still making design changes in response to show feedback — so expect the specification to move before it ships, not just the timing. The brand will build for 1" racks only and says it will not offer 5/8" hardware, which is likely to govern this attachment's bench and rack compatibility too, though Mythic has not said so about this product specifically. Real-world stability on universal mounts, ankle-pad fit, range of motion, storage and the production compatibility list all remain unverified.

Conditioning & hybrid
Rogue Fitness
AvailableAir Rhino
Timing — Orderable with a visible, enabled Add to Cart and schema.org/InStock on the group offer and every variant, re-verified Oct 11, 2026. Correcting this entry's own lead-time claim: the "Ships in 10-14 Days" figure it previously reported does NOT render on the page. It has zero occurrences in rendered text, the Shipping tab was opened and confirmed active and holds only generic boilerplate with no lead time, and a whole-DOM leaf scan (hidden panels included) finds the string in exactly one place: the page's embedded product data, at offsetParent null, beside SKU AIR-RHINO-STAND. That is the same class of artifact as Rogue's merchandising date fields, so this entry no longer states a lead time. It deliberately does not claim Rogue removed one, because no earlier rendered-layer measurement of this page exists to compare against - the figure may never have rendered. The "Ships in 14-30 Days" window cited before that is likewise absent. Rogue publishes three variants, all InStock: Stand Alone (IP0950) $1,295.00, 5/8" Rack Mount (IP0950-58RM) $1,395.00 and 1" Rack Mount (IP0950-1.0RM) $1,395.00.
A concentric-only resistance platform with two modes: air resistance via a 1-10 damper, and a magnetic 'Rhino mode' toggle rated up to 1,200 lb. A separate clutch lever fully disengages all resistance so the lifter can set up unloaded, then re-engage from position. Aluminum frame, plywood platform, height-adjustable handles, turf tires, roughly 95-100 in of cable travel. Monitor reports force curve, pounds, watts, calories and distance over Bluetooth and ANT+.
Why it matters — It combines strength intent, low soreness and self-limiting resistance in a tool that could serve performance, rehabilitation and high-frequency training.
Watch for
Whether the concentric-only profile suits the buyer's goal — it is self-limiting and safe to failure but gives up eccentric loading. Also: platform stability for heavy pullers, no fold-flat storage, and rack fit — it is sized for a 49-in Monster rack but will not fit if crossmember hardware is already installed. The $1,295.00 figure is the stand-alone configuration, and as of Oct 15, 2026 it is still the only one you can actually order. Rogue also lists two rack-mount versions at $1,395.00 — IP0950-58RM for 5/8-inch hardware and IP0950-1.0RM for 1-inch — but on both of those the visible Add to Cart carries a true disabled attribute, a "Notify Me" button appears beside it, and the order total collapses to "Total Price: $0.00". Confirm which configuration a quoted price refers to before budgeting, and do not read a rack-mount unit as available just because it is priced. Rogue's structured data is not a usable availability signal on this page: all four JSON-LD offers declare https://schema.org/InStock, including both rack-mount SKUs whose own rendered controls are disabled. No lead time is published for any configuration. Correcting a sentence this entry previously carried: the stand-alone does NOT state "Ships in 10-14 Days". That string renders nowhere on the page — zero occurrences in rendered text, tested with hyphen, en-dash and em-dash variants — and a sweep for any "Ships in …" phrasing in the rendered text returns nothing at all. It survives only once in the page's embedded product data at offsetParent null, which is the same class of artifact as Rogue's merchandising date fields, so this entry claims no lead time for the stand-alone either.

Freemax Fitness
PrototypeNext-Generation Flywheel Systems
Timing — Show-floor prototypes
New flywheel resistance systems accompanied the company's updated numbered weight releasers.
Why it matters — Flywheel resistance is moving from niche athletic equipment toward more compact home-gym integrations.
Watch for
This entry no longer has a live source, and that is now the most important thing about it. HomeGymCon's vendors page — the entry's only source, and the only place the phrase "next-generation flywheel resistance training systems" was ever attributed to Freemax — was rebuilt by Oct 1, 2026 into a bare three-column booth table (Vendor / Space / Booth #) with every vendor description stripped out. A check on Oct 1 found no match for "flywheel" anywhere on that page, and Freemax appears nowhere on HomeGymCon's new-product-releases page either. So the claim that Freemax is building flywheel systems is no longer merely unconfirmed by the brand; the third-party text that made the claim has been deleted. The brand side is unchanged and was re-verified the same day against Freemax's full catalogue, which has grown to 40 products: there is still no flywheel product of any kind. The catalogue is weight releasers, loading pins, loop kits, a squat harness, calibrated plate sets, loadable dumbbells and apparel. The single occurrence of "flywheel" across all 40 product descriptions is a compatibility aside in the copy for Core-Saber, a $69.00 knurled aluminium bar: "It works great with resistance bands, flywheels, or cable pulleys." That is a mention of other people's flywheels, not a flywheel product. The earlier framing of this as "two sources disagree" is therefore obsolete — one of the two sources is gone. There is nothing here a buyer can act on, and this entry is now a candidate for retirement rather than continued watching. That call is editorial and has not been made here.

Functional trainers
Fringe Sport
AvailableCloverfield Cable Tower
Timing — Orderable on Fringe Sport's own store as of Oct 14, 2026, with free shipping to the lower 48 and freight delivery. The store record was created Aug 6 and published Aug 10, 2026, so this is a late-summer launch rather than a this-week one, whatever the October roundups say. The bundle with the Gatling Seat is sold out; the tower alone is in stock.
A single-stack cable tower with a 220 lbs weight stack. Fringe Sport's spec table gives 40 inches wide, 60 inches deep and 93.5 inches tall. It runs two pulley paths: lat pulldown and low row at 1:1, and a trolley for functional-trainer work at 2:1. It is built to 3x3 tubing with 1" or 5/8" holes so rack attachments fit, and carries a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
Why it matters — Most cable machines force a choice between a true-weight lat/row station and a 2:1 functional trainer. This one does both off one stack in a footprint smaller than most dual-stack trainers in the index, from a mid-size maker rather than one of the big four.
Watch for
The 1:1 and 2:1 paths share one stack, so the felt load on trolley work is half the pin weight; read the stack figure with that in mind. Fringe Sport publishes no lead time, and the Gatling bundle being sold out while the tower is not suggests the seat is the constraint. The warranty covers manufacturing defects only. No independent review is tracked yet.

Bulletproof Fitness
PrototypeNolan Machine
Timing — More versions and details still to be revealed
A rear-upright Smith concept that can converge, tilt and support bilateral or independent movement, with possible hack-squat and leg-press setups.
Why it matters — It is one of the most ambitious attempts to make a rack-mounted Smith move like several selectorized machines.
Watch for
Our only source for this machine has stopped listing it. HomeGymCon's new-product-releases page no longer carries a "Nolan Machine" entry, it does not appear on the vendors page, and a site search returns "Nothing found." — all re-checked verbatim on Sept 9, 2026. Bulletproof Fitness has never published a product page for it that we have found, so there is currently no live source describing this machine anywhere. That does not prove it is cancelled, but it does mean nothing about it can be verified today and no buyer should plan around it. Setup time, lateral stability, safety stops, rack compatibility and whether the final product is simpler than the concept description all remain unanswered.

Body-Solid
PrototypeFolding Power Rack
Timing — First-look prototype. Still not on sale as of Sept 11, 2026: Body-Solid’s racks-and-Smith-machines catalogue lists 40 SKUs and none of them is a folding rack — no product name on it contains "fold" — and the blog has published nothing further since the July 23, 2026 HomeGymCon preview this entry is sourced to.
A folding rack concept aimed at garage owners who still need to return the room to another use.
Why it matters — The category needs more serviceable options between basic wall hinges and full folding cable ecosystems.
Watch for
Fold depth, wall requirements, deployed rigidity, safety length and whether attachments can remain installed while folding. Nearly two months on from the show preview there is still no price, no ship window and no catalogue listing, so treat this as a concept Body-Solid showed rather than a product with a release path.

Mythic Equipment
PrototypeModular Flat-Foot Rack System
Timing — 6-post and squat-rack configurations shown
A modular flat-foot family designed around both full six-post storage and smaller squat-rack layouts.
Why it matters — A coherent flat-foot ecosystem could help renters and owners who cannot bolt a rack down.
Watch for
Upright and hole standards, attachment cross-compatibility, base stability, expansion cost and production timing.
