I love this set of equipment; it is a huge upgrade from the trainer we had before. The instructions are not great, but there are YouTube videos that go step by step making it pretty easy. Tom at Valor was a huge help with shipping and keeping me updated with where it was. He replied within an hour each time I reached out. This company is as good as they come. Buy once, Cry once
Overall it's a great machine for the price, but gave it a four star because the instructions were very unclear and not correct, YouTube video of putting it together helped tremendously..
I just got my stretch machine and have been using it every day. My back has been sore for a few weeks. Stretching my back every day has eased my pain. THe machine is really well made, it is extremely stable
Perfect for the tetrachromat in your life! I have never been so excited to get into shape... In my while life! Just needed a little splash of color for motivation. VALOR: please make me a curl bar to match, pretty please, rainbow cake with all the fruit on top!!
We're glad that we chose this one. It is smooth and fits our needs. We're thankful for information given by other buyers which helped with putting it together. We immediately began our workout routine and are very satisfied.
Searched for over a year for a stand to hold my 150lb Ringside bag that wasn't over $1,000. Really wish I would've found this company sooner. Stand was easy enough to put together, however I would highly recommend having a 17mm wrench on standby to streamline the process. Once I got some extra weights to compensate for the bag, I was off to the races. One month in and so far so good. Just hope the hook last's with the bag spring I got for it. Amazon purchase but highly recommended as well to reduce swing back.
More plastic than I expeceted and the bottom should be tounded so protein powder doesnt get stuck around the edges on the bottom. Proce is very reasonable.
I recently upgraded my frame and decided to add the Valor Fitness CA-53 Speed Bag Platform, and I couldn’t be happier with the choice. From the moment I started the process, I was genuinely excited to take my setup to the next level—and this platform delivered exactly what I was hoping for.
The build quality is excellent. It feels sturdy, well-constructed, and more than capable of handling intense workouts without any wobble or instability. Installation was straightforward, especially as part of my frame upgrade, and everything fit together seamlessly. The adjustability is a big plus too, making it easy to customize the height to get the perfect speed bag rhythm.
I also want to give a big shoutout to Ethan, who was incredibly helpful throughout the process. He made sure I had everything I needed, answered my questions clearly, and helped make the upgrade experience smooth and stress-free. That kind of support really makes a difference.
Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with the CA-53. It’s a fantastic addition to my setup, and it’s made my workouts more dynamic and enjoyable. If you’re considering upgrading your frame or adding a speed bag platform, this is definitely worth it.
Excellent customer service and fast shipping will definitely buy from again
It works as it should. The rubber grip gives cushion but is still firm. It all seems very well built.
I've used Valor bumper plates for years. The quality and the price are great.
Smooth / easy build / solid piece. I’ve been utilizing it my and with all my clients. Great investment.
Good product for a great price. I was especially happy with the staff's dedication to getting me the item, even though there's difficulties delivering to po boxes.
Very good quality materials love the gold shine 1000% recommend
I started using this Swiss bar yesterday , haven't been able to bench press at all because of shoulder issues this makes just enough difference to allow me to bench without to much discomfort
The 50lb and 70lb Kettlebell's have arrived.
They are beautiful and we cant wait to put into use this week.
My athletes will be using it this week for farmers walks and other core deadlifting and grip activities.
This log is a good balance of value and quality.
The 90lbs starting weight is a good entry weight. The lockup with my Rogue Aluminum collars is VERY tight and secure. The bolt on sleeves are housed in an internal sleeve to help with support. The sleeves have a 500lb max weight rating, which I probably wont come close to so I’m not concerned, especially with crash cushions.
Only “gripe” I have is, I wish the log body was just a little longer on each side for log pin presses in a rack. However, I knew that going in before buying.
The fit and finish is very nice for the price and the glued rubber gasket is a nice touch (My log did have glue drips inside from the trim, not a big deal). The powder coat is even all around & looks nice.
My log did arrive with a few minor scuffs on the ends of the log (probably from shipping). It’s a strongman log, they dont usually stay pretty, so its fine with me.
Overall I’m very happy with it and it will serve my needs well for years to come.
Took me a buddy who works in trades to install. We used 8 3" Lag screws w/washers. The process took us about 2 hours. The video was incorrect they forgot to tell you to install #22 the AXEL BLOCK(shiny chrome piece). THIS IS NECESSARY TO USE THE DRM HANDLE TO ADJUST THE HEIGHT. Other than that this is a great tool!
Love this!! It's perfect for hip thrusts, elevated push ups, etc. So happy I bought this. Thank you!
