Torque Fitness Relentless Rope™

I will open and say I love this product. After some trial and error with mounting options I found a way that works best for my specific rack and setup and the relentless rope is the perfect addition to my garage gym. Mounting notes: with a monster rack there is not a one size fits all option to mount since the mounting brackets and plates that come with the relentless rope are not 1" in diameter. That means you have to use the sandwich method which involves clamping two plates together over the 3x3 crossmembers, but that sadly was not an option for me as the covers for the INDY cables on the top of my rack prohibits this mouthing method. I was able to get creative though and with some leftover parts from assembly of my rack and miscellaneous equipment I had some bolts, washers, and nuts that let me securely mount directly to the upper side of my rack, near the Rogue Nameplate. I had to get creative to ensure I retained structural integrity of the rack and the mount for the relentless rope, but it worked perfectly. Everything is solid and through hours of use no loose bolts or concerns. The mounted position on the rack allows the rope to freely hang and not rub the ground while using and gives me plenty of room to use any way I could want. Originally I had it mounted a little lower and it worked just fine but the rope rubbed on the ground. I'm sure it would have been fine and not worn the rope down significantly over time, but my desire for perfection got the best of me and I ended up mounting as high as I could on my 100" rack to eliminate the rubbing. As an added bonus to the spot I selected to mount, I find that I can place a band peg through the rack and that allows the rope to "store" between the upright and the shrouds in a way that is neat and out of the way. The rope works flawlessly, zero complaints. The adjustable resistance is great and the rope pull is smooth. Your experience with mounting may vary depending on your exact setup. I would imagine (but cannot confirm) that mounting on a monster lite rack would be 100% easier to find a good spot. If you don't have INDY cables on the top of your rack it would also be much easier to mount on the top crossmembers of a 90" or 100" rack. And of course if any of that fails you can always mount directly to the wall, but I prefer a rack mount myself.

The relentless rope is solid piece of equipment. I have it wall mounted. The wall mounting process was not that bad at all. I bought the wall mounting plate know how to use a stud finder, tape measure, drill, and impact. Just got to be a man and pick the thing up and put it on the wall. The equipment is super high quality and built like a tank. The rope is a rope and does its job. The resistance is solid with 4 different levels and it for sure will give you the workout you’re looking for. Use this in our worm ups and workout consistently and am glad I purchased.

I purchased this directly from Torque Fitness, after reading the previous review I had to come to the products defense because it does a terrific job. Would you buy a 12 foot truck to fit in a 10 foot garage then complain about the bad fuel economy and how badly it fits? That being said it is a two person job, If you manage to read the instructions it clearly states it. Did I install it myself? Yes. Was it dangerous? Yes. It came with instructions on how to properly wall mount. I did not need any extra part, it had me make a stinger out of a 2x10. It was pretty straight forward after all mounting. Love it and would buy again.

I purchased this after receiving several Rogue gift cards, which made the price less prohibitive. After using a similar device in the gym for rehab on a shoulder injury, I thought it might be a good at-home product. First, let me get this out of the way in terms of installation: this simply isn't that easy and the instructions provided are only for a wall mount. There are no written instructions for rack mounting, and the video from Torque fitness is less than ideal, if not completely unhelpful. So, let me spell out specific issues prior to anyone purchasing. First, if you don't have 10' or above ceiling space, then this isn't going to work at the suggested height. I have a Rogue RM-6 100" rack and 9' ceilings (108"), so that gives me 8" of clearance, which was not nearly enough. You need a full 12" of clearance if you are going to attach this to a rack, whether a pillar or top side beam. And that brings me to my second point about rack mounting. If you think you are going to mount this to a pillar at the top, remember that most Rogue racks have large connecting bolts that will prohibit mounting on that top portion of the pillar. You might be able to mount it lower, but the rope may drag on the ground. If you think you are going to mount it to a top side beam, then height is again prohibitive for anyone with less than 10' ceilings, and the machine comes with a back mounting plate that essentially serves as a clamp. If you had sufficient height, you will simply have the bolts laying on top of the rack, which some people will not appreciate due to scuffing and scratching. That brings me to my third point about the need to purchase a wall mount. Rogue doesn't currently sell that item, and you will need to purchase it for approximately $100 from Torque. Torque recommends a 103" height for mounting on wall studs. Again, that's not ideal for ceilings lower than 10'. I dropped it down about half a foot and had a little less than an inch of clearance. The rope didn't hit the ground, and the machine was firmly affixed to the wall studs. NOTE: Regardless of your mounting method, this is a two-person job. Unless you want to attempt to shoulder carry a 45-lbs. machine up a ladder and then try to attach screws while balancing and holding it in place, avoid the risk to your own safety. It's not worth it, so make sure you have at least two people for this. Finally, for the machine itself, it is well built with sufficient magnetic tension to make for a good workout or rehab exercises. I would say that the pulley housing is commercial quality, but the rope on the other hand is not (many reviewers on other sites have noted that). This is just a bad decision on the manufacturer's part, since they have decided to join two ends of the rope with what looks like a rubber melted adhesive. This creates a notable bump in the pulling process when it goes through the pulley wheels and simply creates a weak point (the weakest link?) that will snap or degrade over time. There are a lot better ways to join together two rope ends, so I really don't understand why they chose this method. I wanted to be as thorough as possible in this review, since this is a luxury item with a high, if not prohibitive, cost. Is it worth the cost? I would ultimately say no, unless endless rope workouts are part of your normal routine. The machine simply doesn't provide as much versatility as say something comparably priced like lever arms. I really wanted to give this a better review, but the extreme hassle of mounting coupled with a bad design decision in the rope connection means it's simply an average product at an excessive cost. I will use it for rehab work, but I wouldn't recommend it for all the reasons I mentioned above.
