 Very satisfied with new Home Gym August 14, 2006

The Body-Solid Home Gym arrived in six boxes in only 10 days. The instructions for assembly were not that great but after taking the time to organize the parts in particular the various sized bolts and associated nuts it went very well. I think the key to assembly is to read over each section carefully and get the exploded view down pat then follow the step by step directions. By the time I was done it took just about five hours and I had a few parts left over. The machine is everything I had hoped for. Its smooth action is a delight and both me and my wife love it already. I missed the workout center but now that I work out of my house the 20 mile round trip into town just didn't make sense. The money was well spent and I am 100% satisfied.
Sturdy and well designed. October 19, 2008

The unit is very well built. I do metal work and have experience with this type of fabrication, and the machining was perfectly alined. The assembly instructions list EVERY part and give a good assembly plan. Remember, there is an assembly order that you need to follow. I advise that you put it together according to the instructions. Materials are packaged well and shipping was handled professionally.
It is difficult to build a "stock" unit that can fit "all" body types. So, the adjustment options to fit each body are limited. But, if you're like me, Joe Average, it's a good fit.
As for the gym function, it works great. I have limited space and need to fit gym, spinner, and free weights into one very tiny room. This is the perfect unit for my setting. Small footprint with versatile functions. Pully bearings are sealed -a big plus for those of us who sweat during a workout. Multiple attachments make upper and lower body exercise variation possible. Range of motion when lifting weight is important. The unit allows for a full range of motion for every type of exercise I can perform.
All in all, a good unit for the price.
A nicely-designed unit, with great customer service! April 16, 2008

I ordered the Body Solid EXM1500 one weekend; it arrived on Thursday in 6 boxes, with some scuffing and punctures, but nothing major.
If you have a metric socket set, it will pay for itself with this project; if you don't, get one before you even open the boxes. Next, organize the hardware (I used sandwich bags and a Sharpie). Other than a couple of slight discrepancies between the words and the diagrams, assembly is pretty straightforward, though with many parts. They even include a small bottle of touch-up paint!
My Customer Service experience: On Sunday, I found that the base frame was bent. I emailed pics to Customer Service. First thing Tuesday morning an email confirmed the replacement part had shipped. It arrived on Friday, well-packed, in perfect condition, and I completed assembly and began using it Sunday, two weeks after placing the initial order.
Impressively quick response on a replacement for what appears to be the most complex part in the unit. They completely insulated me from any kind of freight claim struggle (a concealed damage claim can cause an entire trucking company to spontaneously go deaf).
A very nicely designed unit, well-thought-out and rugged, with exceptional customer service and a great price. I would certainly do it all over again!

Tried the display model at Sears - this was a few years back- and after just a few minutes I was sold. This little home gym has it all. Just like the product description states, you get a complete work out in minutes. Best of all the footprint is small enough you can fit this in the corner where it's out of the way.
To be a little more specific of what I like about this gym: The geometry, the angles, seat height adjustments, handles and leg cushions, pulleys, and overall build all add up to something that feels like a lot of thought was put into it. You know those machines that frustrate you when you don't get the full extension? None is more frustrating to me than getting on a home gym especially a lat machine where you don't get to reach all the way. This machine even when benching will allow for full extensions. Additionally, you don't waste time transitioning between exercises. The only pause in exercise you really need is the few seconds it takes to lean over and change the weight amount.
Customer service with these guys was also an A+. I had a couple of end caps that were removed, reset, and bent out of shape. The company sent replacements without having to explain myself. If you can find a display somewhere test it out, you'll be surprised.
Great Home Gym, Great Price, You can't go wrong! July 11, 2008

Well, I had been on the fence for about over a year about getting a home gym for the garage. I've been looking around here and there, and was originally going to buy one of the bowflex machines. The problem with the bowflex machines was that no matter whom I asked, I always received the same response: don't get it, that cable technology and resistence is just not the same as having real weights.
Then I looked around some more, checked the Sports Authority and some other sports stores here in the NW, and couldn't really find a suitable piece for under a grand, and if, they were either too big, or there were $200 transportation costs, etc... Anyways, I browsed Amazon, stumbled upon this gym and it seemed to have all the basics I would need for a regular workout.
Bottom line: Delivery time was about one week. The delivery company called me twice, once to verify my address, and once to schedule a delivery time. I was not able to be at home when it was delivered, but they were ok with leaving it by the door. Very friendly, great experience.
Building the gym was a pain, but definitely do-able. I am not the best handyman in the world, but I do have some experience building Ikea shelves ... ; It took about 7 hours to get it all done, there are lots of bolts and screws, so it takes a while to sort it all. In retrospective though, it was fairly easy and I didn't require anybody else to help me or hold any of the pieces. The manual wasn't the best, but good enough to figure it all out.
The gym feels like the real thing from the fitness clubs, it's compact, stable, it's quite, and you can do all the basic exercises. I don't think that there is anything comparable out on the market for this price (about $650 incl. delivery and tax).
