Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
1. Is a setup under €3,000 enough for serious training?
Yes – absolutely. All three setups are designed for weights up to 200+ kg per side and are more than enough for 90 % of ambitious home gym users.
2. Which setup is best for a small rented apartment (12–15 m²)?
Clearly the entry setup with the R8 BlackHawk (€2,289). Extremely compact, drill-free and still with a lat pulldown.
3. Can I still expand later?
Yes – that's one of the biggest advantages. With R8 models in particular, you can always add Cable, Jammer Arms, Smith and so on later.
4. Are the weights really included in the price?
Yes – realistically calculated in all setups, so you can start with a fully training-ready gym.
5. How loud is the training in a rented apartment?
With 8–15 mm rubber mats and Bumper Plates very quiet. Most neighbors hardly notice anything.
6. Which setup for absolute beginners?
The €2,289 entry setup + Atletica app – you start straight away with safe full-body programs.
7. Are there any hidden costs?
No. The prices given are complete setups. Only with very large amounts of weight (over 200 kg) will smaller follow-up purchases come later.
