A dream for any home gym. Extremely stable. Smooth-running and durable.

An absolute must-have for every gym. Versatile and extremely valuable.
The only drawback: the ropes keep twisting and then have to be straightened again.

Ottima macchina, the compromesso che stavo cercando, super functionale e silenziosa adatta specialmente per studio di personal training, unica pecca potrebbero essere i cavi laterali un pò corti (non permettono varianti ad incrocio) e il manuale delle istruzioni un po scarso, ma a parte questo the macchina è fatta bene, ci Sono all i components, the vernice resiste qualche urto casuale dovuto al montaggio e funziona davvero bene. Everything is amazing!

I love the design, and the build quality is really solid. It's the perfect addition to my small home gym. My only criticisms are the rollers, which could easily be replaced with aluminum ones, and the two chains that significantly increase the range of motion and the variety of exercises on the lower version. The instruction manual needs to be improved.

The device works great. Even my prepubescent son has a lot of fun with it, and it beats the PC…

I can only recommend the Xtria. I'm 173 cm tall and have the low version; I can perform all the exercises without any problems. It's stable and doesn't wobble at all.
The packaging was very good; there was no visible damage after assembly. The screws are well-organized; just number them according to the instructions and assembly can begin.
For the removable bench, slightly larger holes would be good to avoid scratching the thread on the feedthrough every time.

Great product, everything as expected. The parts were delivered in a large rectangular wooden box, and no damage was found.
Always read the instructions carefully before you begin, otherwise you may have to remove something (e.g., screws from the top or bottom, or the pulleys). You'll need two people to begin with, but once the scaffolding is up, you can do it alone.
I installed a 230 cm high ceiling and a 2 cm thick base plate underneath the unit. It worked without any problems, and the dimensions were very well maintained (226 cm version). The screw positions were also well thought out, and it was easy to screw in the room height.
The rollers are okay, there's a slight resistance. I lubricated them a bit and it improved. If you have high demands, you should install different rollers. The bench was no longer needed for me; I only use a weight bench, which is a good fit for the machine.
I am 186 cm and am glad I got the larger version, the 206 cm version might be too small for some exercises.
Can recommend the product.

I sprayed all the rollers/ball bearings with WD40. Instead of 3 seconds, they now spin for at least 9 seconds. That was a real winner!
But be careful. WD40 isn't a lubricant. I don't know if it will cause the ball bearings to wear out faster.
But when I spray them with silicone lubricant, they don't spin nearly as well as they do after treatment with WD40. So I've been trying this for a few months.
Now the gliding and rolling properties are noticeably better throughout the entire device! Not 10000% perfect yet, but already very good. It's no longer a problem.
I think this is because my two metal bars/weight rails are a little unparallel and this probably creates a little resistance.

This device is unique in its form on the market. Space-saving, ideal as a corner solution, truly attractive, and robustly built. Nothing wobbles or squeaks.
Clear purchase recommendation.
Detailed feedback:
* The lat pulldown and rowing machines have a 1:1 ratio. These feel really good and are pleasantly smooth for me.
* The two outer lat pulldowns have good rolling resistance, but also "only" good. Anyone who comes from a high-end city gym will notice that there's some rolling resistance there. It doesn't feel bad, it's not annoying, but it's there. It's worth knowing. I might switch to the aluminum pulleys. They're supposed to be even better.
* I have the LOW version, 206cm. I'm 184cm tall, with normal arm length, and can sit on the lat pulldown bench and almost fully extend myself. So, it's OK for me! Those taller might miss the 20cm height and should choose the HIGH version if the ceiling allows it.
* Butterfly is very tight. You have to stand with your butt against the machine and then bring your arms together in front of you, but by then the weight has already reached the very top of the tower. It's a good workout, but if you're an orangutan or tall, you should know this for the LOW version.
Atletica will certainly resolve the following issues soon, as I found the company to be very feedback-oriented and quick:
The assembly experience for me (I think I was one of the early/first buyers (?)) was truly awful. In retrospect, though, it was also funny and worth it for a good story and memory. Two hours for two people: no chance. More like 5-10 hours of assembly work, depending on how many mistakes you make and how much you have to put back on. But that's also fun when you see the progress.
So here are some tips from me:
1) Sort all the screws beforehand. Open the sealed packages, work with 30 different small boxes/jars, and place everything there, carefully measuring them beforehand and labeling them with "1, 2, 3, 4, 5...". Caution: There are many screws that look similar but are 5mm shorter or longer, but otherwise identical. Without prior sorting, it'll be a complete mess!
2) Many screws, washers, and nuts are pre-assembled and therefore not included in the sealed packaging. Therefore, it appears as if some are missing.
3) I was only able to install the upper crossbar (where the handle hangs on the lat pulldown) by loosening all corners and "folding open" the rack, then later tightening it again (without any problems).
4) IMPORTANT: Install the rearmost, vertical bar behind the weight stack EARLY in the process. Type 18 screws are needed underneath, and they're about 10 cm long and must (!) be inserted from below. If the machine is almost finished, and you want to secure this bar, you'd otherwise have to lift 300 kg 10 cm and insert it from below. Therefore, my screws are still loose from above, without a nut on the opposite side...
5) The weight block has spacers at the bottom that aren't mentioned in the instructions. They're in one of the bags. Otherwise, the block would touch the pulley behind it.
6) The carabiners are a bit small and tricky when converting the large handles. I'll buy two larger ones.

The machine impresses with its robust construction and aesthetic appearance. The cables run very smoothly, and small details like the magnetic weight pin and easily adjustable cable slides highlight its quality. Minor drawbacks: The bench tilts slightly forward during pulldowns (but this can be easily fixed), the footrest lacks a plastic protector for adjustment, and the assembly instructions are inadequate. Overall, 4.5 stars (rounded up) and highly recommended!
