Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 15 reviews.
Bolt in the rear end of the seat needs to be all the way tightened. As with all the the attachments, if they are not completely locked down, they will lock down the attachment, but it will not be secure completely unless all the way tightened. Don’t be a dummy like me and think there’s something wrong if it’s wobbly, tighten them all the way!
Store owner replied:
Thanks for the helpful review! We’re glad you were able to get everything tightened up and working properly. We really appreciate you sharing this tip, it could definitely help other customers during setup. Thanks again for the support and for sharing your experience! If there’s anything else we can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to reach out. – APEX Fitness
Great attachment for the apex bench. Allows me to go heavy with almost pull down on my cable cross, and really progressing with my strength on Nordic curls. Much more comfortable than having your gym bro try to hold down your legs hahaha. Awesome addition to the Apex ecosystem!!
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for the awesome review! We’re glad to hear you’re loving the attachment and that it’s helping you push your strength on both your cable work and Nordic curls. Thanks again for the support and for being part of the APEX Ecosystem! If there’s anything else we can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to reach out. – APEX Fitness
I’m continually amazed at this ecosystem’s versatility. Nordic Max attachment is really great in and of itself. Genius engineering to split the seat cushion and make an ordinary bench serve as multiple pieces of equipment. Plus I liked how I could use the foot plate by itself for seated rows on my bench instead of the floor and use the roller pads to lock in for lat pulldowns.
But I found yet another hack by mix and matching components from different attachments. I used the lower half of my ab trainer attachment to make a 45° attachment for the foot plate of the Nordic to insert on. Added a simple garden knee pad on top of the foot plate and it makes a pretty decent barbell preacher curl attachment as well. Obviously the matrix machine is a more purpose built solution for a preacher pad, but if you’re buying multiple attachments, play around with them and see what you can MacGyver. This ecosystem is awesome.
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for the fantastic and detailed review! We love hearing how creative you’re getting with the APEX Ecosystem and all the different ways you’ve found to use the attachments. It’s great to hear you’re enjoying the Nordic Max and finding even more ways to mix and match components from different attachments. We really appreciate you sharing these ideas, they’re super helpful for other APEX owners too. Thanks again for the support and for showing just how versatile the ecosystem can be!

Beyond satisfied with the overall bench and with the Nordic attachment in particular. I bought the bench specifically for this attachment, and I've been spamming nordics every other day since it arrived, determined to eventually be able to do them with a flat bench. It's sturdy, and while don't mind adjusting the knobs (which are all knurled and feel great), honestly I usually just leave it attached since it doesn't get in the way of my other exercises. I use it as a foot pad for cable rows without even flipping it around. S-tier attachment.
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for the awesome review! We love hearing that the Nordic Attachment was the main reason you picked up the bench and that you’ve been putting it to work every other day! Glad to hear you’re enjoying how sturdy it is and that the attachment can stay on without getting in the way of your other exercises. Using it as a foot pad for cable rows is a great hack too! Thanks again for the support and for sharing your experience. Keep crushing those Nordics! If there’s anything else we can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to reach out. – APEX Fitness
I love equipment with multiple uses. In addition to Nordic curls, I've found it useful as a foot plate for seated rows and as shown in this video, you can use the leg rollers to help hold yourself down with lateral pulldowns.
This is such a clever attachment. It feels very secure when using it. It feels very high quality. It's a hard movement if you're not used to it, but the design allows you to progress at whatever pace you need. Highly recommended!
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! We're really glad to hear you're enjoying the attachment. It's great to know you're finding it secure and well-built. Thanks again for the recommendation and for your support. Happy training! If there’s anything else we can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to reach out. – APEX Fitness
This is the first bench I've seen with a back pad long enough for my torso. It fits in my very limited space, is very sturdy, and it allows me to work on building up to nordic curls with over a dozen angles for regression.
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for the great review! We're really glad to hear the longer back pad is such a good fit for you and that the bench works perfectly in your space. It's also great to hear you're already putting the Nordic setup to good use! And it's awesome to hear it's helping you work toward full Nordic curls. Thanks again for your support, and happy training! If there’s anything else we can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to reach out. – APEX Fitness
This exactly fit my needs for my new home gym build. Needed something to hold my knees down for lat pulldowns and a foot plate for rows. As a bonus, I now get to incorporate nordics into my routine which is new yet exciting for me. For an average size guy the split pads weren’t extremely necessary, but honestly a nice touch. I tried to use this as a foot holder for decline sit-ups but wouldn’t recommend as it’s a bit sketchy, not what is advertised but thought I’d try it out. Regardless I have no regrets with this buy!
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review! We're really happy to hear the attachment has been a great fit for your home gym and that it's helping with your lat pulldowns, rows, and even getting you started with Nordics! We also appreciate the honest feedback about using it for decline sit-ups. Thanks for giving it a try, we'll definitely pass your comments along to the team. If there’s anything else we can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to reach out. – APEX Fitness
No longer do I have to DIY Frankenstein'd pieces of gear just to (attempt) to do nordic curls. Using this attachment makes nordics way easier, and more comfortable, than other methods I've tried.
This can also be used for locking you in for lat pulldowns and cable rows (just make sure to attach it to the right side of the bench - the other side will just lift up as you pull down)
It can store nicely in a corner just sitting on its foot plate. The grip tape on the foot plate is a nice touch.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review! We're really glad to hear the Nordic Max has made your Nordic curls so much easier and more comfortable.

I love this item. I use this for low rows, Nordic curls, lat pulldown, and use it the roller part on the back of my calves in combination with the Matrix pad to do back extensions. A must buy if getting the if purchasing or are going to purchase the Apex bench.

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 Nordic Max?
The APEX Nordic Max is a 4-in-1 attachment that expands the APEX Adjustable Bench into a complete lower-body and back training station. It combines an adjustable Nordic bench, a seated row platform, a lat pulldown seat, and a split squat setup in one compact, versatile unit.
Who should use the APEX Nordic Max?
The APEX Nordic Max is perfect for lifters who want to train hamstrings, back, and lower body seriously at home. It’s a great fit for anyone who values adjustable Nordic curls, rows, pulldowns, and split squats in one compact attachment.
Is the APEX Nordic Max suitable for home gyms?
Yes. It connects to the APEX Adjustable Bench in seconds and delivers four stations in one compact attachment. The design is built for small spaces, with quick setup and easy storage when not in use.
What makes the APEX Nordic Max different from a traditional Nordic bench?
Traditional Nordic benches are single-purpose. The APEX Nordic Max adds flat, incline, and decline Nordic positions and integrates three additional stations in one unit: seated rows, a lat pulldown seat, and a split squat setup. It attaches to the APEX Adjustable Bench for quick mode changes, with oversized rollers and a high-traction foot plate for comfort and stability.
Why is the APEX Nordic Max considered a 4-in-1 attachment?
It combines four dedicated modes in a single unit: an adjustable Nordic bench with flat, incline, and decline settings, a seated row platform, a lat pulldown seat, and a split squat setup.
Is the APEX Ecosystem available internationally?
Yes, we do ship internationally; however, shipping prices can vary and may be cost-prohibitive. We are actively working to expand our distribution network. Please see our current distributors below, with more to come soon: Northern Fitness in Canada

What are the benefits of an Adjustable Nordic Bench?
Adjustable flat, incline, and decline positions let you scale the difficulty of Nordic curls, making them more accessible for beginners and more challenging for advanced users. This adjustability helps build hamstring strength progressively and supports better joint mechanics for safer, more effective training.
What are the benefits of an angled footplate?
The angled footplate promotes proper ankle positioning, helping you achieve better plantar flexion during Nordic curls and more efficient body alignment during rows. This encourages safer joint mechanics and improved force transfer for stronger, more comfortable reps.
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.
