The OX bar is well built and is a nice blend of features taken from other, more expensive bars. One feature that caught me by surprise was that the handles are not actually parallel. When the bar is on its jacks, the whole handle bracket is angled up slightly. I don’t think this will detract from its function at all, but something to be aware of. Vulcan claims this intentional, but it really feels like a factory welding mistake. The knurling on the handles is medium but gets a bit inconsistent and rough on the edges. When the bar arrived, the handles were not fully screwed together and needed tightening. While the overall build quality is pretty good, the bar I received only seem to have been powder coated on one side. I reached out to Vulcan and they said they will be sending a “touch up” kit. Whatever that means. Unless this kit includes a can of spray paint, I don’t see how I’ll be able to recreate factory powder coating on half of this huge bar. We shall see. Also, the end caps are way too small and rattle around whenever the bar moves which is loud and annoying. Probably going to have to use electrical tape to pad the edges. All in all, it’s a good bar and functions as intended. Putting it together wasn’t hard, and the rubber jack feet function well. Just be prepared for annoying cosmetic issues that you will likely need to repair yourself.

Extremely pleased with this purchase. Delivery was quick, set up was quick and I was off and rowing. Solid piece of gear and definitely completed my home gym. I only wish the quick start would track distance. Or maybe that’s user error, but prefer to row and see how far I’ve gone vice setting the distance. Outside of that, I would highly recommend it to friends and family. Thanks

The Alpha bumpers I received are awesome. The feel of surface is great. No strong smell or oily sheen to the rubber.

Vulcan products are awesome. They had a shipping issue with my first order, but made up for it in the end. Thank you.

Very easy to work with! It turned out my order items weren't in stock as indicated online, so shipping was delayed. They let me know and shipped as soon as they were available as they promised and made up for the delay in shipping. Will order from again.

I purchased various alpha bumper plates to build a home gym. While I did not receive them all due to stock discrepancies, the order was readily completed once made available. The plates arrived without any defects and performed as expected, heavy without any significant bounce. No odors of note were detected as mentioned in other reviews. I would highly recommend them. My wife likes them as well.

Quality deserves a 5 on the bumper plates I ordered. Customer service is difficult to reach, actually impossible to reach in any form other than email. I thought that being a local company, they would be a little easier to communicate and deal with. Although When I did finally get ahold of someone, she was very helpful.

The company makes awesome products. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I decided to buy a barbell and plates in March 2020. I settled on Vulcan in April. Understandably, they were backordered and had logistical challenges, the pandemic has wreaked havoc on multitudes of companies, not just Vulcan. So I saved and waited. I bought at the beginning of December 1, 2020. There were still delays, but I know Vulcan has worked hard to keep up with orders and manage product manufacturing. I most of my stuff arrived before Christmas, except my 45 lb alpha bumper plates. Those arrived January 12, 2021. Their delivery was a bright spot for me amidst the dark fallout of a violent coup attempt in the US by traitorous sycophants. TL:DR; Vulcan came through during a rough time with solid product.

Despite decent equipment, this company has no concept of customer service, and their treatment of customers that spent a significant amount of money during these times is disgusting. Their online inventory is completely false leading you to place and lock into an order thinking it is in-stock and will ship, in my case waiting weeks for shipment with no notification of such. When you try to contact them, like other reviewers have noted, calls are disconnected while on hold, and if you email, a case opens and closes without resolution. Of course this means you cannot cancel an order since you must do so by phone. Then when you do receive your "in-stock" items weeks past the Covid-edited ship times, a quarter of the set is backordered for months. Funny part, is that the items are still listed in-stock on the site! They may be living in times of plenty as we desperately rush to outfit our home gyms, but things will go back to normal at some point, and their reputation of greed and poor service will catch up. For now, there are so many more companies that offer the same or better product, and answer phones and emails, and notify you if there's a delay. I suggest we give them out business.

The FFPR was easy to assemble, and very sturdy. I am very satisfied with it. My wife and I took the decisions of not going back to a gym due to COVID, and we are very happy with it. P.S. when assembling, don’t tighten bolts until you’re done.

Great piece of equipment. However one bolt for the foot plate had flawed threads. We had to go hunt the bolt down from a local screw shop. Would be nice to get a shirt or hat or something from Vulcan.... overall very satisfied solid machine.
