Questions, answered

Everything we get asked about Model One. If yours isn't here, write to us and we'll answer it directly.

Do I need a deadlift platform underneath it?+

No. Six rubber spring dampers absorb the drop before it reaches the floor, four at the weight sled and one on either side of the handle. Model One is designed to be used in apartments, hotels, home gyms, second-floor spaces, and gyms where dropping weight isn't allowed.

How much floor space does it need?+

The footprint is 40 × 56 inches, about 15.6 square feet. A conventional deadlift area wants 6 × 8 feet of clear floor, so Model One takes roughly 60% less space.

How is this different from a lever-arm deadlift machine?+

Lever-arm machines swing the handle through an arc, which changes your hip and back angles as the bar travels. Model One uses a linear linkage that produces exact straight-line motion, so the handle rises perpendicular to the floor from start to finish, the way a barbell does.

How much weight can it hold?+

Up to 675 lb. The plate-loaded sled runs 1:1 by cable to the handle, so the number on the sled is the number in your hands.

How do I load and unload the weight?+

Standing up. Plates sit at hip height on the sled, so there's no bending to the floor, no rolling a loaded bar, and no wrestling collars between sets.

Can I use bands with it?+

Yes. An adjustable rail on the vertical sled post anchors bands at any height, so banded RDLs and accommodating resistance work without a rack or anything to bolt on.

Does it need to be bolted down or assembled?+

No anchoring is required. Model One assembles in minutes and stands on its own footprint.

Is it only for deadlifts?+

No. Deadlift, Romanian deadlift, banded RDL, shrug, rack pull and bent-over row all run on the same station. An adjustable rail anchors bands at any height, so banded RDLs work without a squat rack.

What will it cost, and what do I pay for early access?+

Early access is free — no deposit and no commitment. We're finalizing production pricing now; the expected MSRP is around $3,499 plus freight. Early-access members lock in launch pricing before it's public and are first in line when preorders open.

Is there a deposit, and when will it ship?+

No deposit during early access — you're simply on the list. We're validating the first production run now and will email early-access members first the moment preorders, pricing, and ship dates are confirmed.

Do you sell to commercial gyms?+

Yes. The frame is 8- and 11-gauge steel with stainless hardware, and a 675 lb max load. For multi-unit or dealer pricing, email hello@sparrowstrength.co and we'll get back to you.
