FREQUENTLY ASKED,

ALL ANSWERED.

What is the APEX Ecosystem?

The APEX Ecosystem is a fully integrated training system built around the APEX Adjustable Bench. Every attachment is engineered to connect directly to the bench, transforming it into multiple machines in one. Instead of buying separate bulky equipment, you expand your setup piece by piece with attachments like the Nordic MAX, Stryker Pad, Landmine, Ab Trainer, Leg Extension, Belt Squat, Power Tower, and more.

Do I need the APEX Adjustable Bench for all the attachments?

Yes. APEX attachments are engineered to connect directly to the APEX Adjustable Bench. The bench is the foundation of the entire ecosystem, and all attachments rely on its integrated connection system for proper use.

Will there be future attachments?

Yes. We’re actively expanding the APEX Ecosystem. New attachments are already in development, and we’ll continue building the lineup based directly on customer and community feedback. Your input helps shape what we create next. If you have a cool idea, we'd love to hear from you!

Can I start with one attachment and upgrade the Ecosystem overtime?

Of course. The APEX Ecosystem is designed to grow with you. You can start with the attachments you need now and add more over time. Every new piece integrates seamlessly with the APEX Adjustable Bench, making it easy to expand your setup whenever you’re ready.

How does the APEX Ecosystem save space compare to separate machines?

The APEX Ecosystem replaces multiple standalone machines with integrated compact attachments. Instead of needing separate equipment for leg curls, extensions, Nordic work, core training, landmine exercises, belt squats, and more, each attachment connects to the APEX Adjustable Bench, helping reduce the footprint needed. You only store compact attachments rather than full machines, which dramatically reduces space while still giving you the functionality of a complete gym.

What makes the APEX Ecosystem different from other modular systems?

We spent a long time refining every detail to ensure each attachment is truly multifunctional without sacrificing performance. Instead of single-purpose add-ons, every APEX attachment is engineered to deliver multiple high-quality training functions while integrating perfectly with the bench. The result is a more versatile, more refined, and more complete system.

What is the APEX Barrett Belt Squat Machine?

The APEX Barrett Belt Squat Machine turns the APEX Adjustable Bench into a dedicated lower-body station for belt squats and calf raises. Its long lever arm creates a smooth, natural squat path with full range of motion. The design features a spring-loaded kickstand for easy start and finish, adjustable handles for custom positioning, and an extended loading bar that supports 8+ plates. When you’re done, it folds up for vertical storage to save space.

Who should use the APEX Barrett Belt Squat Machine?

Perfect for lifters who want to squat heavy without loading the spine. Great for building quads, glutes, and hamstrings with a natural squat path, making it an excellent choice for home gym owners and athletes focused on lower-body development.

Is the APEX Barrett Belt Squat Machine suitable for home gyms?

Yes. The Barrett Belt Squat mounts to the APEX Adjustable Bench in seconds and stores vertically when not in use. The collapsible loading bar reduces storage depth, enclosed wheels make repositioning easy, and the storage support arm lets you keep plates loaded between sessions to speed setup.

Does the APEX Barrett Belt Squat Include a Squat Belt?

No. The squat belt is sold separately.

How do I assemble my APEX Barrett Belt Squat?

Every APEX product includes step-by-step assembly instructions in the box, along with access to a detailed video guide for additional support. Click HERE to view the digital PDF. These resources walk you through setup from start to finish so you can begin training with confidence. If you have any questions during the process, our support team is available to assist you HERE.

Do you provide a How to Use guide?

Yes. Every product in the APEX Ecosystem includes a comprehensive guide that walks you through how to set up and use each mode. These step-by-step resources are designed to help you get the most out of your equipment and will be available shortly.

Is the APEX Barrett Belt Squat Machine easy to move and store?

Yes. Smooth-rolling wheels make it easy to move around your gym, and its design allows for quick, upright storage when not in use.

Can I keep weight plates loaded on the machine to speed up setup?

Yes. The Barrett Belt Squat Machine is designed to be stored with plates loaded, so you can get straight to training without reloading before every session.

Do I need the APEX Adjustable Bench to use the APEX Barrett Belt Squat Machine?

Yes. The Barrett Belt Squat is designed to mount to the APEX Adjustable Bench and cannot be used on its own. A version that secures to 2-inch and 3-inch squat racks is currently in development.

Where can I find more information about the APEX Ecosystem?

Our Learning Center is coming soon with product insights, training tips, educational content, and step-by-step setup guides.

What exercises can I do on the APEX Barrett Belt Squat Machine?

Belt squats, heel elevated belt squats, calf raises, deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts, sumo deadlifts, high pulls, bent over rows, bicep curls, and tricep extensions, and more.

Does the APEX Barrett Belt Squat Machine provide full range of motion for belt squats?

Yes. It uses a low attachment point combined with an extended lever arm to allow deep squats through full range of motion while maintaining proper form and motion path.

How does the extended lever arm improve belt squat mechanics?

The extended lever arm creates a smoother, more linear lifting path, reducing forward pull and allowing the movement to feel closer to a free-weight squat. This promotes better balance, natural squat mechanics, and more consistent loading on the lower body.

Can I combine the APEX Barrett Belt Squat with other APEX attachments?

Yes. It pairs perfectly with the APEX Hybrid Machine for heel-elevated squats and calf raises, allowing you to expand your lower-body training options without adding more equipment.

Where can I find more training information about the APEX Ecosystem?

Coming soon, our Training Collective will provide product insights, training tips, and step-by-step setup guides.

Will a side loading plate attachment be available?

We don't have plans to offer a side loading attachment at this time. We tested this however, it placed stress on the center hinge that wasn't good for long-term use.
