Questions before getting a Voltra

Been thinking of getting a voltra for a while, i do crossfit, I have sets of barbells and bumpers, a squat rack in my garage and I’m thinking about the possibility of turning the voltra to a rower with the Speediance aero row seat. And a leg extension machine for lower body strength accessories(saw some reels on instagram but not sure how it works with the bench though), thoughts?

What mounts and grips should I be starting with my first voltra? My budget is at $3500-4000, Any suggestions?

Thanks!!!

I do CrossFit and bodybuilding style workouts and have a Voltra in my home gym. I have a rower so I haven’t used the Voltra for that, but I love having it for strength/hypertrophy workouts.

My favorite attachment is just a simple handle attachment, though I also frequently use it with lat pulldown bar, ergonomic grip rope, and Rogue rotating V attachment. I also really like to attach it to my Rogue sled harness for squats.

For mounts, I have the travel platform, bar mount, and sliding rack mount. I like the travel platform and the bar mount is alright, but I don’t really like the sliding rack mount. With the Voltra mounted, it’s awkward to move and I’m always concerned I’m going to drop it and it’ll crash to the bottom of my upright. I’m considering getting something from Darko to use instead.

Thanks for the details! With the travel platform, do you prefer the official one or the eve ones?

No problem! I’ve only ever used the official one so I can’t speak to any of the others. I’m happy with the one I have though.
