Customer Review

Love this machine. Was delivered in one large box. It comes mostly assembled, but it's in enough pieces that you can carry them anywhere in your house for final assembly. All the cabling and pulleys are already on the machine. There really are only nine bolts to install. But I took my time with it -- about an hour and a half. If I had help, I could have done it in under an hour.

I have a weight bench with free weights, but I purchased this machine so my wife and children could lift without the dangers posed by free weights. They can lift with this machine without me there to spot them.

Comes with 160 lbs of metal weights, which is plenty for me, my wife and our children. No, you can't add any more weights to the set.

It works great and is very compact. Fits nicely in my basement, which does not have a very high ceiling. To change the weights, you just pull a metal pin out of one slot and stick it in another. Takes about a second. The weights and the levers move very smoothly, just like the machines they have at the gym. In fact, this is very close to gym quality (probably because Body Solid makes some commercial equipment, I believe).

I have not completely abandoned my weight bench, but you just cannot beat the convenience of this home gym. Changing from one exercise to another is a breeze, so I'm able to get my workouts done a lot faster.

I did not buy the optional leg press because, from the pictures, its looks like you can't use the curl bar while the leg press is attached, and it would be kind of inconvenient to have to put the leg press on and off every time I use the machine. If anybody has the leg press, I'd love to hear how it's worked out for them.
