The CG3 is a compact home functional trainer that stands out for smooth cables, easy assembly, and versatile cable work, from chest pressing and crossovers to arms, shoulders, and ab exercises. The 2 to 1 pulley setup means the effective resistance is only 110 pounds when both stacks are tied together, which feels light for some lifts. The listing also points to an optional 50 pound add on, though that upgrade sounds involved. It is a strong value for cable training if you can live with the lighter stack.
Common Questions (4)
It appears very similar in layout, but the Costco Centr 2 has a middle column for added stability, a 165 lb-per-side stack, and includes a bench plus a one-year subscription. The CG3 listing is the lighter, simpler version with a 110 lb 2:1 stack.
The listing states you can buy and add an additional 50 lb of weights, but doing so may require extra parts like a longer stem and shorter cables. Adding more weights can also void the warranty.
The CG3 uses a 2:1 ratio, so the effective resistance is 110 lb total when both sides are tied together, with 55 lb per stack independently. The lighter stack is the main limitation people point out for heavier movements.
It can be used for cable chest pressing with the right bar, but it is awkward for traditional bench press and not the best choice if benching is your main goal. It works better as a cable machine for chest variations, rows, arms, shoulders, and rope-based work.

Centr 2 can't add weight per old description. I haven't tried that though.
I can train every muscle group with this machine, pain free and have made great gains with it.
For true hypertrophy workouts, I would say the weight is plenty heavy enough but actually isn't light enough for some movements. If you are a wanna-be gym bro and think this isn't enough weight, you don't know what you are doing. If you are a respectable human being and unsure if this is enough weight, research Doug Brignole and the Brig-20 movements. I promise you'll make progress with this one piece of equipment alone.
The cables are surprisingly long and give you freedom to do a lot with very little. Assembly is super easy, just need another person to help hold it up right while you bolt it down.
I believe I paid $1500 during Covid and don't regret it at all. I upgraded to the Free Motion because as you will soon find out, once you own a home gym you'll have everything you need until you want a new piece of equipment and then your life is empty until you get that new piece you've always wanted lol.

Cable chest ("bench") pressing is absolutely amazing, as are cable crossovers and 20 other chest variations with a functional trainer.
Forget about the ancient bench press. With a cable machine and a bench at ~90 degrees, you can "press" seated with a single cable in each hand at unlimited angles, with unlimited stretch, with unlimited crossing motions, etc., etc. etc.
I've had the original Inspire Fitness FT1 for over a decade. It looks almost identical to this one but with the full weight stack. However, I don't know if there is any difference in the materials used between the two.
These machines are worth 10X as much in a home gym. This one will be limiting for some people due to its lower weight stack, especially for an exercise like lat pulldowns.
I know freight shipping means it'll move slower, but figured it might start moving by now.
