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.

Can I start with one attachment and upgrade the Ecosystem overtime?

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.

tabIndex="0">
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.
