Amazon.com Product Description
The Weider Max strength-training system packs more muscle-sculpting power per square inch than any other weight system on the market. Boasting up to 240 pounds of quick-change resistance to harness the power of Weider's revolutionary resistance bar technology, the Max employs a unique system of cables, cams, pulleys, and swivels to address all of your upper and lower body muscle groups. This system, called the Compound Resistance System (CRS), serves to compound the resistance of each bar, allowing the workout cable to travel 2 feet for every 1 foot of resistance bar travel. The benefit of CRS is that it allows you to complete each exercise, with a complete range of motion for better results and a wider workout variety. Further, each bar provides smooth, consistent resistance throughout the exercise. The quick-change resistance system, meanwhile, quickly moves from 5 to 240 pounds of resistance (can be upgraded to 340 pounds), making weight training quick and easy. Thanks to the system, you no longer need to unscrew a bunch of pins or deal with bulky plates between exercises. The quick-change system also makes circuit training easier than ever, because you can move rapidly from one exercise to the next. Best of all, the Max comes with everything you need for a killer total body workout, including a lat tower, a leg developer, and a preacher pad station. You'll enjoy more than 65 club-quality exercises geared to give you a fat-burning, muscle-building upper and lower body workout. It's the perfect blend of high-intensity strength training, fast-paced circuit training, and killer cardio. Other features include a removable seat, a pair of short and long workout handles, ankle and hand straps, and an exercise DVD. Max home gyms feature a lifetime warranty on each resistance bar. All other components carry a five-year limited warranty that covers defects, materials, and workmanship.

 Disappointed at first September 2, 2008

We spent a while putting this together...when my husband tried it out for the first time the 10 lb. middle bar (the one that you use to insert the weights in) snapped in half. Well we wanted to cry after all of the hard work to put it together. I called customer service & they sent another part. We put it on and it has worked fine ever since. So at least you know if something goes wrong, they will fix it.
Nice Bowflex alternative June 30, 2009

Nice system for the money. The assembly is complicated and tedious. If you can't find the part, keep looking. It will be in a bag with unrelated parts. The build quality is good. Once assembled, it is easy to use. Deciding what kind of workout you want may be the hardest part about using it.
Does the job October 11, 2009

Package arrived, in good condition.
The instructions on the whole we pretty good.
Seemed to have a washer or two missing, but nothing major!
Still took around 5 hours to put together.
Make sure you have plenty of time for the build.
Played around a few times with it, everything looks to work ok. Nothing broked, yet!
For the price & if your just trying to lose a few pounds here & there, this seems like a good deal.
 Not great, but not bad March 3, 2009

The first package I received came with the box completely destroyed. The UPS driver handed me some loose nuts, screws and bolts and said he hoped that was all that had fallen out. I called Amazon and they quickly ordered a pickup and sent a new one out. Kudos for the quick service!
After reading the reviews and seeing how long this would take, I decided to wait until a Saturday morning. It took about 4 hours for me to do it myself. It says you need two people, but that's only for one section (which could easily have been avoided if Weider had changed the way the resistance bars were connected and attached to the machine) so I only needed another person for about three minutes.
I found the diagrams and instructions to be somewhat vague. I found it easier to switch from the instructions to the whole machine diagram, which took more time flipping from page to page. I also found it annoying to read that, if there were parts missing you could assume they were already attached. That didn't help when reading the first instructions about assembling the base and having to flip through the parts only to find that the base was assembled except for the feet.
All of the nuts, bolts, washers and screws came in nice little trays with a sheet to indicate what they were. It would have been handy if Weider had labeled these also with the number it assigned in the instructions.
The instructions for use are somewhat lacking also. There are extension straps which must be used, but are not always indicated so in the exercise illustrations. For example, one exercise involves pulling both handles from the lower pulley to your chest. Mine will not reach my chest although the woman in the illustration appears to be fairly close in height to me and she is not having a problem.
All that said.....once you get familiar with the machine I believe you will enjoy it. The workouts are good and the cost is great.

The good: Machine can do a lot of different exercises. It's priced pretty well.
No big deal: Assembly took me almost 4 hours by myself, but all the parts were there and bolts were well organized. After exercising a few times, changing the cable hookups become very cumbersome. It makes super-sets impractical unless the exercises use the same cable hookups.
The Bad: After 2 weeks of use, I snapped the 40lb resistance bar like a twig.
The Ugly: I would like to get this resistance bar replaced. When I try calling the only 2 phone numbers that I have for Weider (customer service number & sales number), I get a "number not available" message.
