Description
Patented Articulating Functional Trainer Arms
The patented articulating functional trainer arms is a game changer. You can go wide for exercises like chest flys and cable crossovers. And you can bring them together to leverage both stacks at the same time for exercises like lat pulldowns and seated rows.
Optional Bolt on Smith Machine
Compact yet powerful, the optional XSA Smith Machine Attachment bolts directly to the frame and delivers the guided safety of a Smith machine without sacrificing your rack’s versatility.
Stainless Steel Uprights
The X2 now comes standard with stainless steel 3x3 11 gauge uprights to keep your rack always looking new. Some of the most well respected power rack brands offer 3x3 11 gauge stainless uprights as a premium option for a reason so if someone says stainless steel uprights are inferior, then they don't know squat (pun intended).
Dual 220 lb Weight Stacks
The included dual 220 lb weight stacks in 10 lb increments ensures you will have the weight you need for all your functional trainer exercises. And for those that need a little more, the included weight plate horns allow you to add weight plates to the stack.
Strap Safety Arms, Strap Safeties, and UHMW Sandwich J-hooks
The unique and hefty optional strap safety arms gives you your bar a soft landing when you need it. And the included J-hooks use UHMW sandwiched between two thick steel plates to protect your bars finish and knurl.

The MAXUM X2 is a powerhouse all-in-one home gym built for serious lifters. Combining a Smith machine, functional trainer, and power rack into one rugged system, it delivers the versatility of a full gym floor in a single machine.

- Dual 220 lb weight stacks for progressive resistance.

This rack came well packaged in a crate, and I was able to get the FedEx driver to pull it up my driveway with my help pushing. Then everything inside the crate was well wrapped/packaged. Upon opening the parts, there were just a few minor blemishes and scratches. My posts had no scratches, but the top weight plate on one side had a couple inch scratch on it. It must have come from the factory like this because it was well packaged. Also, one pulley had something in it that I had to clean off. I contacted Maxum about that, and they did replace it for me so that was great.
As for the actual build, I highly recommend using an impact like they suggest. This does take a 36mm socket which is pretty large. I also used a ratchet and another 36mm socket, but I later realized it was easier to use the provided wrenches with the impact since I wasn't having to hold my arms so far apart. Their picture assembly guide shows to build an entire side on the ground, but I was worried it would be too heavy to lift into place by myself so I built this standing up. This ultimately led to me putting a couple things together in the wrong order such as the back-top rack pulleys. I had to unbolt the top bolts in the top crossmember and then rotate the cross-member, install the pulleys, and rotate it back up since my ceiling height was barely over the required 88.5". Maxum's instructions I thought were well done regardless of some of my mistakes.
The one thing I don't like about this rack is the rubber foot covers. I assembled the rack minus the weight stacks and tried sliding the rack into it's final resting place at that point. Well, those rubber feet did slide off a bit. I ultimately ended up using my floor jack on the back cross member, and on the attachment for the low row at the front so I could slide those feet on all the way in all four corners. Note though that the cross-post attachment is hollow and so it did flex a bit. I certainly wouldn't do that if the weight stacks were also installed. In hindsight, jacking it up from one of the safety arms would have probably been better.
As for the rest of the build, even with an impact, it was much more strenuous than I had anticipated. The 1" bolts with locking nuts are no joke. I'm 5' 6" @170#, and I was sweating profusely the entire build. It took me a few hours to get all of the parts to my basement. Another few hours to build the frame. Another few hours to install the weight stacks and cabling. Then finally a bit more time to get the weight posts installed and adjust the back cross member where I wanted it. I did have to re-tighten my cables within a day or so. Technically, while they don't say this in the instructions, it would be better to strip the insulation off the cable at the cable ends. What ultimately stretches is the insulation.
The only other minor issue I had was that the dip bar didn't initially fit well on the 3x3 posts. It was really, really tight. Upon further inspection, I found washers behind the UHMW on one side. Once those were removed, the dip attachment fit fine. A little odd, but it was a simple fix. The dip bar ultimately feels a lot more solid than I expected so I'm very happy with it.
I'm also happy with the safety spotter arms. I've heard one reviewer call them a gimmick, but I actually really like them. Maybe I'm a gym snob, but I like to keep my bars in good shape so these ensure that is the case. Also, I just simply like that there is some give rather than the shock of hard steel if I happen to hit one side on my lifts. The landmine is OK. There is only UHMW around the lip of the landmine. Although, I don't have experience with other landmines for comparison so maybe this is typical. I'll probably buy some abmat pillows. I have no issues with the cross-member attachment and low row plate. It does have some play in it, but it hasn't impacted my lifts at all. The lat pulldown pads are better quality than I thought they would be. The two straight bars have pretty good grips. I can feel a weld (I believe that's what it is) on the small straight bar though where middle section rotates around the bar. I may attempt to disassemble it to remedy that at some point because it doesn't feel very nice.
Overall, this is a really great rack for the price, and all of the attachments work well enough. It gets the job done for almost $2k less than competitors when considering the attachments.
1) The Articulating Arms would be a 5 of 5 if the articulated up and down like other arms (GETrx'd)
2) Let the buyer pick all add-ons (or add nothing and offer all the accessories as a package for purchase)
3) A video on the assembly would make life super easy (like REP)
4) More aggressive knurling on all bars. Many have none.
Other than that, no damage to any of the rack at all.
They did a good job!
Thanks
You might think, ok, you saved a bunch of money, so surely the product must be compromised, but I think you would be wrong. I was honestly kind of shocked at how massive and heavy duty everything is. Even the pins that you use to secure attachments are just massive. The screws - massive. My previous, less expensive cage (also 4 post) that got replaced - my girlfriend and I were pretty easily able to tip it over and carry the whole thing, fully assembled, out of the garage. By comparison, we had a tough time picking up just a single side of the X2 to readjust positioning when we were assembling it - there is absolutely zero chance we could even remotely pick it up and move it around after assembly. It truly is a beast. If you're lucky and you happen to have a set of humongous sockets, you're going to want to bust out your impact if you've got one. I couldn't even get the weight horns on with my hands without one - the lock nuts, combined with nowhere to grip on the horn side, made it too difficult, so I had to go buy a humongous 1/2 inch driven socket for my impact. The pulleys, probably the main reason I wanted to upgrade, are just fabulous. Smooth as butter.
Some criticisms, because nobody is perfect and I'm not a shill. Even though they advertise free shipping, what they really mean is that shipping is free if you live close enough to the East Coast, because they ship out of PA. If you're on the West Coast, as I am, they're going to reach out after the sale and collect an additional $50 bucks because they're over their shipping allotment. Now, to be clear, I was fine paying $50 to ship this item, especially in light of all the value they already provided, but just work it into the price rather than emailing me and asking me to pay a little extra to cover shipping for the item that allegedly ships free. They do note exceptions on their website, but this isn't what people think about when they're thinking exceptions, and this isn't exactly an exception - I have to imagine a ton of their business is high population centers on the West Coast, so they're acutely aware that this is going to come up. Either eat the coast, or bake it in somewhere, because the current approach feels icky.
Two other tiny gripes. They send supplementary instructions via email, and they're pretty important, to be honest. For instance, someone using just the printed instructions that come in the crate is going to encounter a confusing problem when they ultimately try to install the weight stacks. Needing to kind of keep on top of two sets of instructions was a little annoying. That said, I had no problems assembling. I would say you kind of need two people, though, and it's going to take several hours, especially if you're methodical and careful like me. Lastly, I think it would have been nice to have a little booklet or guide that explained/showed the intended use of every attachment. Some of the attachments even come disassembled and you have to put them together, like the dip station. If you managed to put together the machine in the first place, you're going to be able to figure out how to make the attachments and how to use them, but I think it would have been a nice touch to have some materials for this. Even just a QR code to a video would be fine.
My criticisms are just notes and/or suggestions more than anything. Absolutely 5 stars and I hope this company thrives if my experience so far is generalizable.
Assembly was easy, and it does not budge when I use it. It allowed me to save space by getting rid of several pieces of equipment.
