Body-Solid Multi Press Rack Package Review

I looked at and compaired prices and this seemed like the best deal. The quality is excellent! The weight plates all got shipped in one crate. You will probably what two strong people on the day it is delivered. Assembling this took awhile, but I went slow and thought about what I was doing. There are not instructions, just a picture of the parts and where they go. I would recommend having two 3/4" sockets on hand, it will make assembling easier. I just got this yesterday, so I haven't done much, but I can tell you this is solid and the plates are great quality. I highly recommend this! I should mention that I have worked at professional gyms and I'm 39 years old and I chose this as the cornerstone of my home gym.

I bought a BodySmith weightbench 20 years ago and loved it until my son moved out and took it with him. After shopping for a new bench for a year I finally bought the Body Solid with the three attachments. It is everything I loved about the BodySmith but better. It is still the heavy steel construction, heavy duty bolts, etc. but with better desgned seat rail and better padding but the same straignforward useability for day in and day out workouts. Unless you are into really heavy lifting, this will last you a lifetime. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012M3EQ2/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title

Ironmaster Super Bench & Dumbbell Combo Review

Ironmaster Super Bench and Dumbbell Combo
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Got 1000 bucks to spend on a home gym? What might you want to buy? That was my dilemma when I got an overseas assignment in a remote area, and knew I wouldn't see a decent gym for months on end. So, I bought two alternatives--an Ironmaster weights, bench, and accessories, and a Bowflex Ultimate.
After a year's use, I have a clear favorite--the Ironmaster. Now, the Bowflex claims that you can do some 100+ gym-quality exercises with it. You can do 100+ exercises, but they are far from gym quality. Hey, you can do 100+ exercises with two bags of rocks and a little creativity. The Bowflex took a LONG time to put together, and frankly, all of those exercises aren't so great. I max out the Bowflex on some exercises, and I'm no gym dude--just a 50-yr old in respectable shape. And the Bowflex has variable resistance with those bows, meaning you aren't getting resistance where you need it on a lot of exercises. Finally, you don't need 100+ exercises. The fact is, when you come right down to it, there are probably about 15 exercises that will take care of your whole body.
Now, the Ironmaster. First, the free weights. I've used other adjustable free-weights, and none are as secure or as fast to change out as the Ironmaster. And, you can step it up 2-1/2 lbs at a go--not so necessary for me, but great for my wife. One fast change-out trick when stepping up the weights--rather than adding equally on both sides, just add an additional weight to ONE side of the dumbbell. This takes half the time. By shifting your hand slightly off-center on the crossbar, it will still feel balanced.
The bench--superb quality. Quickly adjusts to various inclines, from perpendicular to flat and plenty in between. Necessary accessories for a full range of exercises--definitely, the leg extension curl and crunch sit-up attachments. Both are durable and comfortable, and let you focus on your workout. I also got the curl bar and the preacher curl pad--all for under $1000 (you might find some specials if you go to the Ironmaster website).
Nothing puts on muscle faster than free weights, true. But this is not just for putting on the meat. If I'm not feeling like a full workout, I'll just go through a few reps to flex the muscles, even in front of the TV. It's a lot better than couch-potato-ing it, and leaves me refreshed. There are also a lot of exercises you can do without the Ironmaster--lunges, squats, all kinds of stretches, toe raises (with or without weights)--to supplement the Ironmaster, so that your body gets a thorough workout, without a houseful of equipment.
Conclusion: gives a great essential workout, saves time and money when compared to going to the gym, and a lot more convenient. Going to last a long, long time. For your money, this might be unbeatable.

EF Products Rotary Leg Machine EF-7615 Review

EF Products Rotary Leg Machine EF-7615
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this machine to complement the other pieces in my home gym. I was slowly becoming aware of slight weakness in my knees, and decided this machine would strengthen my hamstrings and quadriceps -- that in turn adds strength to the knees.
It comes in a HUGE, HEAVY box, but still needs to be assembled. The parts are expertly arranged on a cardboard that is covered a clear plastic film. You'll need scissors or cutter to remove the plastic. The directions are very good. The parts fit together very well. I am a 64-year old, fairly fit woman, and I did need to use great effort to tighten the bolts. But I assembled it in a few hours. The box comes with two sizes of Allen wrenches, and a strong but narrow dual-sided wrench that I quickly replaced with my own padded-handle wrench. The paddled-handle wrench was a must in my opinion, because of the strong pressure required to tighten the bolts. The box-supplied wrench was so narrow that it seemed to cut into my hand as I applied pressure, and it frequently slid off the bolts as I turned it. I do suggest that you assemble it where you plan to use it, because it is very heavy to move.
All the pieces feel like fine quality for the home gym. You'll have to add your own weights. I chose a 10-lb weight for starters, that I bought off Ebay: Troy VTX Grip Olympic Plate from Fitnessedgeonline, and $19.99 included shipping. (This seller was fast!) 10 lbs. works fine for extensions, but I'll add 5 or 10 lbs more for curls. YOU may be able to use much more weight, especially for men, but I personally caution against overdoing the weight, since the condition of the knee is at stake!
The seat and back cushions are great quality, as are the foam pads that contact the legs. I find the adjustments for body size very easy to make. I am 5'4" and I'd say a user should not be much shorter or the leg bar won't adjust high enough. A 6' man used the machine and said the adjustments he made were very comfortable for him. The machine feels very sturdy and steady when in use.
I have had the machine for several weeks now and am very happy with the purchase. As with any new gym equipment, start out slowly for safety's sake. I hope you'll like it too.

Strong and well-defined upper legs are not only a goal for a better physical appearance but also for reduction of stress on the joints, better sports related performance and rehabilitation and overall improved daily movement. A great way to strengthen the entire upper leg (quads and hamstrings) as well as tighten and lift the backside is to perform leg curls and leg extensions with proper form. The EF-7615 forces that proper form and provides a better free range of motion than the same exercises performed without a specialized machine. The seat and backrest as well as the thigh hold-down are fully adjustable to fit most size individuals. These three locations as well as the press arm are generously padded (4.33 vinyl wrapped roll pads) for comfort and the seat is tapered and rolled to provide a soft brace for the rear of the leg during each repetition.

I give this four stars cuz you have to take time to adjust it to workout both sides of yor legs (quads, hamstings). And its a bit wobbly. But you just add standard weights and you get a decent weight workout without the trip 2 the gym. The machine cost like $350, not bad. If you want perfection in your workout equipment this machine is not for you, but if you dont mind, than you'll be satisfied.

Precor Adjustable Multi-Angle Bench
I'm familiar with home, institutional and commercial gym equipment. I currently have a Precor commercial grade treadmill, elliptical and recumbent bike. I have considered Precor's commercial products to be one of the best commercial fitness equipment manufacturers in the market. I recently ordered and received from Amazon a Precor home gym adjustable multi-angle bench. I bought this product based on my past Precor experience and I wanted a bench that was lighter duty so it is easier to handle in a home gym environment. What a disappointment when I took this piece of junk out of the box. Cheap is the best way to describe the quality of the product. I would be better off lift weights using an ironing board to lie on. I was preparing to purchase a Precor Functional Trainer for my next piece of home equipment but after this experience I will look for another manufacture that can design and build a decent home gym product.

It carries the following warranties: lifetime on the frame, 10 years on parts and wear items, and one year on labor.

Ironmaster Super Bench Adjustable weight-lifting Bench Review

Ironmaster Super Bench Adjustable weight-lifting Bench
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I agree that this bench is versatile, especially given all the possible attachments. However, it does have some design flaws or at least shortcomings in my opinion.
First... the legs are not wide enough to give the bench stability when used with attachments such as for the dip and chin. It is serviceable for other exercises, but if it was only an inch or two wider on each side it would be much better.
Second... With this bench you need to change attachments frequently. Unfortunately, the bolt and pin assembly that is used to make these changes is plastic on the part that you apply leverage to. While I don't know of one breaking, it certainly looks like this would be a probably outcome over time. You must also insert the pin and screw it tight with the plastic part referenced above to fully engage the attachments into the frame. We could put spaceships on the moon, but we can't come up with something better here? How much could this improvement cost?
Third... if you are using this unit in a confined area, you will need to move it around in order to switch from flat or incline to decline. This requires removing the seat, adding the situp attachment and reversing your direction. If your set up is close to a wall... you will also have to move the bench.
This is speculation on my part, but if you buy the dumbbell spotting system, it appears that the bench gets more stable from the cross bracing. If you buy the chin up and dip attachments first, you will almost certainly NEED to incur an extra $200+ expense. Who knows if this is intentional, but as another reviewer points out, you don't find some things out until you start using the bench.
On the upside, there are many angle settings, seat positions, etc. The bench also is well padded and looks durable. As other reviewers point out, assembly is easy and this unit has a small footprint. It's rated for heavy weight, but interestingly the seat doesn't lock, it just slips in and as I mentioned above, I don't think the base is wide enough. For weights up to 200-300 lbs. I don't see a major problem, but I would want a spotter if I were handling anything heavier because of the possibility of tipping. (I don't handle weights that heavy, but I'm sure some of you might.)
At the price point, this is a good buy. However, be prepared to spend more money if you want to take advantage of all the features. As one reviewer mentioned, you can't even do decline anything without buying another attachment. I felt this was somewhat misleading given the description of the bench as it was written when I purchased mine.
I suspect this would be GREAT with all the attachments. I'm already heavily committed, but in the end the total cost will be quite high. I think the manufacturer should at least through in the situp attachment that is REQUIRED for decline exercises given that it is advertised as a decline bench. It's a good bench, just be aware of what you are getting and what you are NOT!

Body Solid Multi-Press Rack GPR370 Review

Body Solid Multi-Press Rack GPR370
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have very good things to say about Body-Solid. I have at least five of their pieces of equipment in my home exercise regimen. Their equipment is well-designed, with the user in mind, well-built, and, though made in China, is constructed with excellent quality control. It is, as they advertised, built to last a lifetime.
I received this machine by FedEx (about 180 lbs) in two boxes. Shipping costs are a factor in shopping for price on this rack. I got free shipping. I estimate the freight would be around $100.00.
It took me about two hours to fully assemble. The good news is that I was able to assemble the entire rack with only a 3/4" socket and a 3/4 " box wrench.
I think that who ever made the assembly instructions did not talk fully with the design engineers. This is really well-designed. The picture and the instructions show the racks on the outside of the vertical supports. It works fine if you assemble it this way. However, if you assemble it this way you can only use 7 foot olympic bars. I assembled it with the racks on the inside of the vertical supports.
You have to reverse the racks so the the numbering on the racks are on the inside, and, you have to reverse the safeties. However, with the racks and safeties reversed I can comfortably use a 6 foot olympic bar for curls, in addition to a 7 foot bar for bench presses and squats.
If you can obtain this at a decent price, including shipping, then it is a fantastic bargain. It almost replaces most Smith machines, a bench press rack, a squat rack, a weight tree, and, with a bench, can be used for presses, dumbells, or, without a bench, can be used for overhead presses and jerks at failure point.
A note for mature users: I am 54, and, after fracturing both shoulders I am slowly coming back to condition. For rehab, this machine is ideal. The safeties are very secure, and, it gives you the confidence to push through the pain, and, develop the muscles you need for support while healing.
This item gets and "excellent" from me all the way around. . . .

Fitness professional, coaches, and personal trainers agree that a heavy-duty rack with easy-to-use adjustments and a barbell set go a long way in the world of strength training. Freeweight training is most effective when the user feels safe enough to use heavy weight and push the envelope.

Phoenix 99226 Power Pro Olympic Bench Review

Phoenix 99226 Power Pro Olympic Bench
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For the price this low-end home gym is generally able to do the things I wanted a cheap home gym to do. However, there are a few issues you need to consider before buying it. The biggest issue is ergonometric - this unit is not designed to be used by anyone over perhaps 5'10" or 5'11". I'm 6'1" and this creates problems for me. I have to find work-arounds to use a unit designed for people smaller than me. The problem is that form is very important when doing the exercises (when you don't pay attention to form, you either reduce the effectiveness of the exercise or risk injury) and finding work-arounds sometimes compromises your form during the exercise.
There are also a few quality issues but these were not entirely unexpected considering the price of the unit. It would have been nice if the bench padding were a little better but its adequate. The two most annoying quality issues involve the plate bars (the bars that hold the weights). This first issue was with the plate bar on the lat tower (cable) unit. It wasn't level. This means the weights keep trying to fall off one side as you put them on. The second issue is also with the plate bars. The unit is designed to accommodate standard plates (small holes in the middle) or Olympic plates (big holes in the middle). A "sleeve" is included with the unit that slips over the standard size plate bar that enables one to use Olympic plates (big holes). However the outer diameter of the sleeve is slightly smaller than standard Olympic size so an Olympic size spring collar (to hold the weights on the bar) is too big and doesn't work. I went down to Home Depot and bought wood clamps to hold the plates in place. Kind of a pain but functional (just another work-around). If you buy this unit you probably want to go with standard plates (small hole) rather than Olympic plates (big hole).
So I put this at 4 stars because for this price you really can't expect too much and it generally delivers what I expected a cheap home gym unit to do - with the one caveat: persons over 5'10" should try to find a home gym designed for taller people. Since only 5% of the US population is over 6 feet tall manufacturers tend to design for smaller people. If you're tall, good luck on that search.
Follow-up note. At this time of the writing above this unit was sold by several vendors on Amazon so its worth comparing the pricing. When I say above that this unit is OK "for the price" means the price I paid for it not the price necessarily listed here now. At the current price (on 7/7/07) I would only list it as 2 stars but could not see how to change the star rating.

This power rack is a great way to improve your home gym for a reasonable price. It's a good value and should meet the requirements of all but the heavy duty power lifters. I'm very pleased with it for my purposes of safely training alone with moderate weights. The main shortcoming I see is the 3 inch spacing for adjustments. I would have gladly paid a little more for some heavier gauge uprights with 2 inch or closer spacing. However, I didn't want to spend at least twice as much for that convenience as with other much more expensive power racks. I figure that I can always add a 1 inch board under my bench if the 3 inch spacing is too inconvenient. Although pin operated safety bars might be more convenient, the sabre type included with this rack are fine for my purposes. I added a couple pieces of rubber pipe insulation to them for use as squat depth limiters and it works very well. The size of this rack fits well in my basement with its 7 1/2 foot ceiling. All in all, I think this rack is a good deal and certainly worth the $300 I paid.

This bench is a disappointment. The post for adding weight to the leg station is 1", not the 2" as shown. I negotiated a $50 discount with Amazon to fix that. Also, one of the barbell standards is bent slightly which causes the adjustable post within to bind. I'm going to have to fix that too, by bending the post to match. I expect new products to work out of the box. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this product.

Pro's:
- really solid bench, is quite heavy and sturdy
- wheels allow relatively easy mobility
- 8 adjustable positions from decline, to flat, to almost upright
- leg extension with handles that can allow you to lay on your stomach to work your hamstrings
- good for sit-ups, especially from the decline position
- padding is quite thick and solid, yet comfortable
- the back pad is almost 3 ft. so ample space
- all the screws, nuts, bolts, washers are clearly labeled and separated to make for an organized assembly
Cons:
- the pads were a hassle to fit, the screws weren't drilled in the exact place so some adjustments were necessary
- this thing is massive, definitely not a space saver
- sits up pretty high off the ground (I'm 5'10 and in the lower positions my feet barely touch the ground, I end up resting them on the U-bar)
- in the flat position, there's a 3-inch gap between the seat and back pads, it takes some wiggling to find a comfortable position which is not so easy when you're holding heavier weight over your chest
- bench can not go into a perfect 90-degree angle, it's more like 100 at "upright"
I was looking for one bench to do decline, flat, and upright. It's not completely upright, which isn't such a big deal but having it not be so comfortable flat is a disappointment. Having the leg extension though makes up for the shortcoming as it makes the bench more versatile. Having the back pad so long though makes it difficult to do tricep extensions sitting upright. However doing them while sitting on a ball is better for you anyway. Paid $200 with free shipping off Amazon.

The owner Travis is a snake! I bought a bench for my son that fell over on him and almost broke his neck! I called and spoke to Travis who promised to allow us to exchange it for another if we were willing to pay MORE! I agreed and called him the next day to tell him which bench my son picked, but Travis would not come to the phone. I left him message after message for 2 weeks and he ignored them all and never called us back. I referred the matter to Amazon who told me that they needed to investigate. Once Amazon called him, Travis finally returned my call and told me that he would help me ONLY IF I WITHDREW MY COMPLAINT?!! Of course I refused since he had been ignoring me for weeks! The matter went before Amazon's Escallation Department that ended siding with Travis and Fitness Edge Exercise Equipment!
We ended up getting stuck for $250 because 'Travis' the owner of Fitness Edge Exercise equipment decided that it would be cheaper to go back on his word! He promised that we could exchange the bench one day and went back on his promise the next! Once this guy gets your money...he doesn't care about anything else! My son almost broke his neck and this creep couldn't care less. Once he found out that we didn't intend to take legal action...he then decided that there was no reason to do anything further! He even lied to Amazon's Escallation Department, telling them that he never promised to replace the defective bench! After it was all over, we ended up getting stuck for $250! Do yourself a big favor and save yourself alot of trouble and grief by buying direct from Amazon.com or another reputable company.
