Price changeGMWD

GMWD's LE11 leg station is real and priced: $1,699.99 pre-order, ships late September

The index has carried its LE10 / LE11 / NOVA LE12 group with only Mikolo's LE12 confirmed, recording that the LE11 had not been located on GMWD's site. It is live on GMWD's own store as a pre-order at $1,699.99 against a $1,999.99 compare-at, in White and Black, with both variant names themselves stating "Ships in Late September" and the Black variant labelled "3rd Batch Pre-Order". GMWD publishes a 255 lb stack in 10 lb increments plus a removable 5 lb top plate, a true 1:1 resistance ratio, 200 lb-rated band pegs and a 3in x 3in 12-gauge frame at 562 lb. Every one of those figures is the manufacturer's own claim, no independent review or teardown of this machine exists, and GMWD's published policy covers the frame for life but parts for only six months, so treat the pre-order as a bet on a spec sheet rather than on evidence.

Price changeMikolo

Mikolo's PT00 storage tree finally carries a price — $159.99, and already sold out

Mikolo's PT00 plate and barbell storage tree, tracked here since August on an "Early September" preorder window with no price, is now a listed product at $159.99 under the retail name "Portable Weight Plate and Barbell Storage Tree." It is sold out at that price: the only control on the page is a disabled Sold out button, there is no notify-me signup, and no restock date is given. Published specs are six 9.4-inch weight posts rated for three 45 lb bumper plates each, two 2-inch barbell holders, four 360-degree swivel wheels with two lockable, a 650 lb total capacity and a 16.74 kg unit weight, with free shipping, 3-7 day delivery, a 45-day return window and a 6-month warranty. One caution before you wait for it: the page describes the frame as "high-quality stainless steel" in its bullet list and "tough, powder-coated steel" in its body copy, and Mikolo does not resolve which it is.

Speediance opens Gym Nano preorders at a $50 deposit, deliveries from October 2026

The Gym Nano, tracked here as a prototype since its FIBO and HomeGymCon showings with no product page and no price, now has a live preorder. Speediance takes a $50 deposit to reserve early access in a Phase 1 window it dates Sep. 8 to Oct. 9, 2026, with purchases completed from Oct. 10 and deliveries starting October 2026 in batches. The deposit buys a stated 10% off the final purchase, worth $200 to $440 depending on bundle, and Speediance excludes accessories and the Gym Nano Standalone setup from that offer. Bundle prices themselves are not established on the preorder page: the $1,999 to $4,398 figures shown there are the spend thresholds the discount tiers attach to, not confirmed configurations, so the real cost of a Gym Nano is still unpublished.

GM Ultra
Price changeSpeediance

Gym Monster Ultra's $399 deposit path sells out, and a $6,999 listing appears beside it

Three days after the Gym Monster Ultra preorder opened, Speediance's deposit page reads Sold out with the button disabled and schema availability OutOfStock. The $399 deposit is no longer purchasable. A separate full-price listing has since appeared at $6,999.00, also Sold out. That is $500 above the $6,499 the two-payment route implied, a $399 deposit plus a $6,100 balance, so a buyer who did not take the deposit path is looking at a higher listed number if stock returns. Speediance's stated October 2026 balance window for existing deposit holders is unchanged.

FALCON 2.0 Centralized Lat & Row Trainer
AnnouncementMikolo

Mikolo's Falcon 2.0 is an open preorder at $2,499.99, shipping late September

Mikolo's FALCON 2.0 functional trainer is orderable now with an enabled Add to Cart and a $2,499.99 list price. A banner on the listing reads "$500 OFF — From $1,999" and states the discount is auto-applied at checkout, which puts the net at $1,999.99 — but the discount does not appear in the price block itself, so the cart is where a buyer confirms it. The single purchasable variant is named "FALCON™-2.0 (Ships in Late Sept.)", the first shipping window this index has been able to confirm for the machine. Mikolo now also publishes the specifications the entry had been waiting on: dual 200 lb weight stacks, a centralized 2:1 lat and row system, 92-inch cable travel and a 35-inch depth.

Rogue lists the FM-6 Twin Functional Trainer at $6,195, shipping in 4-6 weeks

Rogue's new-gear page carries the FM-6 Twin Functional Trainer at $6,195.00 with an enabled Add to Cart and the shipping line "Ships in 4-6 Weeks" — orderable now, not a preorder. The official page describes two weight stacks, selectable at 250 lb or 300 lb, each running a 2:1 functional-trainer ratio that the machine "internally combines" for that total load, on 3/16-inch US-made mil-spec aircraft cable, and states it is "Made in U.S.A. with Imported Pulleys". Rogue also says the twin-stack layout lets "two users work at the same time on the adjustable pulleys, performing completely different movements", which is the practical case for the second stack. Two limits worth knowing before you price it: the $6,195.00 is displayed as one flat figure while the page offers thirteen colors and choices of height (80/90/100 inches), rack depth (24/30/43 inches), stack size, shrouds and a long list of attachments — with no price deltas shown against any of them, so the configured cost is not determinable from the listing. And Rogue publishes no weight capacity and no total machine weight for it at all.

Hybrid Rower
AnnouncementChisel Fit

ChiselFit's Hybrid Rower gets its first shipping window — Fall 2026

ChiselFit's preorder page for the Hybrid Rower now states "Delivers Fall 2026" and "Shipping begins Fall 2026 in the order received", with earliest preorders fulfilled first. The index previously carried this machine with no ship date at all, so a season is new information — but it is a season, not a date, and no firmer commitment is published. The money structure is worth reading before you commit: the page's main price now displays $2,995.00, and the $1,995.00 figure is that list less $1,000, a discount conditional on placing a $500 fully refundable deposit, with the "Remaining Balance Due 2 Weeks Prior to Shipping" — so the balance comes due on ChiselFit's timing. In-home professional assembly is a further $195.00 per unit. Two cautions: no independent review of the Dynamic Angle Motion mechanism exists yet, so nobody outside the company has publicly used it, and the page still advertises "Free Shipping until August 1st", an offer that expired more than five weeks ago and should not be counted on.

AnnouncementGet RXd

Get RXd sells Tornado Pivot Arm rollers and bolts as standalone parts, from $2

Get RXd lists the wear parts for its Tornado Pivot Arm V1 individually rather than only as a complete arm. The page prices a RetroFit Rollers set at $40.00, a single R30-4 Roller at $7.00, the V1-to-V2 bolts and washers at $2.00, and a numbered metal plate at $7.00, under SKU TRLY-PIVOT-LR-PT-XX and marked SHIPS FREE. Which part an owner needs depends on the hardware already fitted: Get RXd states that arms ending in hex head bolts need the V1-to-V2 bolts and washers before R30-4 rollers can be installed, while arms with round head bolts take the rollers directly. No stock status is displayed for the individual parts, so none is claimed here.

Rogue's Adjustable Bench 4.0 is live at $695, shipping in 7-10 days

Rogue has added the Adjustable Bench 4.0 to its new-gear page at $695.00, listed as "Ships in 7-10 Days" — it is orderable now, not a preorder. The official page states 10 back positions from 0 to 85 degrees and 4 seat positions at -15, 0, 15 and 30 degrees, on a 3x3-inch 11-gauge frame, with a 12-inch-wide by 52-inch USA textured foam pad, a 130 lb bench weight and a built-in vertical storage stand. Note what the numbers do and do not say: the back pad's lowest setting is flat, so the decline comes from the -15 degree seat alone, the same seat-only arrangement REP uses on the Nighthawk rather than a true decline back pad. Rogue publishes no weight rating on the page, so if a capacity figure matters to you it is not yet documented.

DropSpeediance

Speediance's Gym Monster Ultra reaches retail as a two-payment preorder — $399 down, $6,100 later

The Gym Monster Ultra now has a product page on Speediance's own store, titled "Speediance Gym Monster Ultra (Pre-Order)". It is sold in two payments: $399.00 up front and a "$6,100LATER" balance, which Speediance says it expects to invite customers to pay in October 2026, with the caveat that "the exact timing may be adjusted due to production, inventory, or logistics conditions." The two stated payments total $6,499, and the page advertises an "$899OFF" preorder coupon without publishing a plain list price to measure it against. The first batch is already gone — the buy button reads "Sold out." Separately, a Gym Monster 3 page has appeared at $4,099.00 (220 lb of resistance, 260 lb on the 3S, direct-drive motors, a 23.8-inch touchscreen and a stated footprint under 9 sq ft); its stock state could not be read reliably, so we are not claiming one. Until we tracked it today the Ultra existed only as a HomeGymCon show listing, and it was confirmed absent from Speediance's catalog as recently as August 19.

Price changeBells of Steel

Bells of Steel's Basilisk leg extension/curl gets a US price of $2,599.99 — but you still can't order one

The Basilisk stack-loaded leg extension / leg curl now has a live page on Bells of Steel's US store at $2,599.99, badged "New arrival." Until today we could only price it at $2,799.99 CAD from the Canadian store, so this is the first US figure. It is not buyable: the purchase control is disabled and reads "Unavailable," even though a generic "Ships in 1-3 business days" line appears elsewhere on the same page — treat the disabled button as the real answer, not the shipping boilerplate. Bells of Steel now publishes the configuration too: a 210 lb or 310 lb weight stack plus a 100 lb upgrade kit, a 40% seat slope, a fit range of 5 ft 3 in to 6 ft 2 in, and a footprint of 5.75 ft tall by 3 ft wide by 4.9 ft deep. One caution on the number — the store's search grid shows the Basilisk "From $534.99 USD" while the product page defaults to $2,599.99. That gap is a variant floor rather than a contradiction, but Bells of Steel does not say which option it belongs to, so budget against $2,599.99.

GFT100 Functional Trainer
DelayBody-Solid

Body-Solid's GFT100 functional trainer is out of stock two weeks after going on sale

The GFT100 product page still shows $2,895.00, but the stock line now reads "Temporarily out of stock" and the Add to Cart button is disabled, so it cannot be ordered today. No restock date and no lead-time estimate appear anywhere on the page. Body-Solid's larger GSFR100 all-in-one, which pairs a Smith machine with dual 210-lb stacks, is unaffected and still shows "In Stock" at $5,500.00. If the GFT100 was your budget pick against a Force USA or REP cable tower, there is currently no way to place the order and no date to plan around.

Altitude Power Rack Ecosystem
Price changeREP

REP's standalone Altitude Smith attachment now lists at $699.99, while the rack itself is back to full price

REP's Altitude Smith Machine Rack Attachment page shows a flat "Regular price $699.99" with no sale markup and no crossed-out figure. We recorded it on August 24 as starting at $949.99, so either the price came down or the cheaper configuration is now the only one listed — REP's page no longer shows a "from" price, so we cannot tell which from the page alone. Moving the other way, the Altitude Power Rack itself now reads "Starting at Regular price $899.99" and the $764.99 we had recorded no longer appears anywhere, meaning the base rack's discount has ended and it is back at its unchanged list price. Both still ship in 24-48 hours. A rack-plus-Smith build that penciled at roughly $1,715 in August is about $1,600 today, but the split between the two line items has changed enough to be worth re-pricing before you order.

FTR and Tandem Tower
DelayForce USA

Force USA's FTR and Tandem Tower are sold out on preorder, and the Tandem Tower is now retail-only

Both machines still list at their existing prices — FTR $3,399, Tandem Tower $2,499 — but neither can be bought for immediate delivery. Each product page now carries the same wording Force USA has been running on the C20 since August: "Now Available For Preorder! Due to overwhelming demand, we are currently sold out." No ship date is given on either page. The Tandem Tower adds a second restriction that the FTR does not have — "This product is only available in retail locations" — so buying it direct from the site is not an option at all, preorder or otherwise. That makes four Force USA products we track (C20, FTR, Tandem Tower, MyBench FID) sitting behind the same sold-out preorder banner at the same time.

DelayIronmaster

Ironmaster's IM3000 and Super Bench PRO V2 are both waitlist-only

Neither product page has an Add to Cart button today. The $4,199.00 IM3000 Valhalla all-in-one and the $449.00 Super Bench PRO V2 both show "Notify Me When Back In Stock!" in its place, with no restock date and no lead-time estimate given on either page. Listed prices are unchanged. Ironmaster is running an End of Summer promotion — 15% off dumbbells and benches with code EOS through September 7 — but it is a checkout code, not a marked-down price, and neither of these two SKUs can be added to a cart to use it. If you were planning around either machine, plan around a wait of unknown length.
