3 Reasons NOT To Buy the Hyper Pro

PUBLISHED ON Oct, 28, 2024

3 Reasons NOT to Buy the Hyper Pro

At Freak Athlete, we understand that everyone has their own workout preferences and routines. The Hyper Pro isn’t for everyone, and that’s totally okay! But before you write it off, we thought we’d give you three reasons why it might not be the best fit for you...

1. You’d Rather Buy and Assemble 9 Different Machines

If you're someone who enjoys collecting equipment like it’s going out of style, the Hyper Pro’s all-in-one setup might not be your jam. Why settle for one compact machine when you can fill your space with nine different cool pieces of gear?

Sure, the Hyper Pro gives you Nordic curls, back extensions, leg extensions, and hamstring curls all in one. But, some might prefer the challenge of sourcing, buying, and assembling multiple machines.

But… if having a versatile machine that can do it all while saving space sounds appealing, then the Hyper Pro might be exactly what your home gym needs.

2. You Don’t Want to Bulletproof Your Body

Let’s face it—if you’re not experiencing any injuries, aches, pains, or compensations, you don’t need the Hyper Pro. You already have what hundreds of thousands are working toward every day. Peak athletic performance and the ability to do what you love, pain free!

It’s built to help strengthen weak areas like hamstrings, quads, and your lower back. Movements like Nordic curls, Back Extensions, and Leg Extensions are designed to make your body more resilient, improve performance, and reduce the risk of injury.

If you are already in the best shape of your life then maybe the Hyper Pro isn't the best fit for you right now.

3. You Enjoy Driving to the Gym for Every Workout

For some, the ritual of driving to the gym is an integral part of their workout routine. The commute, the gym environment, the hustle and bustle—it can be energizing for those who thrive on that atmosphere. If this sounds like you, the Hyper Pro might not be the best fit.

But let’s be real—how much time, energy, and money are you spending driving back and forth to the gym every week? Traffic, finding parking, waiting for equipment… it all adds up. If this is something you enjoy, keep doing it! 

On the flip side, having the Hyper Pro at home offers unbeatable convenience. You can roll out of bed and start your workout whenever you want, without wasting a minute. Plus, no more shared equipment or waiting in line—everything you need is right there in one compact machine.

Final Thoughts

If any of these reasons resonated with you, the Hyper Pro might not be your ideal workout partner. But let’s be real—if you’re looking for a space-saving, versatile machine that helps you build a stronger, more resilient body, while also saving you time, the Hyper Pro just might be the missing piece of your training puzzle.

If you decide the Hyper Pro is the next step into more physical ability, then we have you covered!
