Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Let me just say that I like this thing. The machine feels gym quality, and the weight rack is probably better than the bowlex rods.
It had free shipping, but the shipping company called and said that unless I was prepared to get it off the back of the truck myself, it would be another 50-dollar charge (which I paid). Probably could have gotten it off, it was in seven separate boxes and total weight was ~550 lbs, I believe.
That being said, this thing is an absolute beast to assemble. I am pretty handy, used to work with my hands and am now an engineer. It is several hundred steps to put this thing together, and some of them rely on a specfic order. However there were only five instruction "steps" included.......each "step" was a mechanical drawing with dozens of components on it and often not a clear depiction of where they went.
I spent a good 10 hours the first day of assembly and ended up with a number of things wrong. I e-mailed a complaint to their customer service (still have not heard back). Then I found a newer set of directions on their website that was considerably improved. After another two hours, everything is working. Only problem right now is that I paid for the upgraded weights. Turns out that two pieces are supposed to be omitted (the thing the weights rest on), and that is one of the first steps. If I am to assemble properly, probably looking at 2 hours to dissassemble and pull those two pieces out and then another 2 hours to re-assemble. Still have not done it.
All in all, the machine is solid, the excersizes feel "real", and I think it will last for many years. That is why it is four stars, I deducted one star due to the terrible instructions included that cost me many hours of assembly time. Since the machine was drop shipped from the manufacturer, there is no excuse for not having the most up to date instructions included!
Satisfied with the machine, but be prepared for the assembly.
