B200 V3: Major structural flaws for advanced users and AI-generated customer support
I purchased the All-In-One B200 V3 (current value approx. €3,000) believing I was investing in a high-end product. After one year of use, I must advise against it for anyone who is not a beginner or is taller than 175 cm. TECHNICAL ISSUES: Barbell Incompatibility: The rack width matches the grip of standard Olympic barbells (131 cm). It is impossible to use a standard 20kg bar without constantly hitting the J-hooks. The company provides a proprietary barbell with unique measurements, effectively making the rack incompatible with professional third-party equipment. Squat Safety: The hole spacing on the frame is too wide (10 cm apart). For a 180 cm tall user, this means choosing between a rack position that is either too high or too low, compromising safety during the unrack. Lat Machine: The leg brace is poorly positioned relative to the cable line, and there is no compatible seat produced by the company. Weight Stack: The 2:1 ratio makes the stack far too light for advanced training. CUSTOMER SERVICE: The most disappointing part was the handling of my complaint. After spending €la big investment, I received responses from the Country Manager that were clearly generated by an AI and carelessly pasted (the message literally started with: "Here is a clear and correct message for Dario:"). The company dismisses these issues as "design choices," but in my opinion, these are clear conformity defects for equipment marketed as professional. If you are looking for a rack that meets international Olympic standards and human customer support, look elsewhere.
