Ordered the Titan Seated Calf Raise machine on Wednesday (2/8/23) and received it on Monday (2/13/23)! Titan kept me posted from the moment the order was placed. The box was in perfect condition upon arrival from FedEx. Packaging had each steel piece individually wrapped and protected with bubble wrap. Good steel, 11 gauge. A very nice piece at an amazing price. If I had tried to make it myself, I couldn't buy the steel, have it welded, and paint it for much less. I did switch out the metric bolts and nuts for a slightly thicker 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch size which led to a pivot almost as good as a pillow bearing. Also switched out the roller knee pads for a larger pair I had. One thing you may notice is the positioning of the calf block. Most every other machine has it closer, almost underneath the knee pad area. Titan has theirs further forward a bit, which may actually isolate the movement for greater resistance. Would love to know what Vince Gironda would have to say about it if he were alive today. In a lot of the machines out there, the user often appears cramped in position, the bend in the knee angle being more acute or 90 degrees. This machine approaches more of an obtuse angle. Two things I'd like to see in the future: 1) Made in America and 2) A thin piece of wood over the calf block for optimum protection of the foot. A cushioned shoe won't do it because it gets in the way of the flexion. That said, a nicely designed piece. And even my wife likes it!
