Here at the end of 2023 - how did it hold up after five years? Is the Marcy the same as the Pro Form Carbon unit (I think maybe)? Is yours 125 lbs weight stack? Was it difficult to assemble, did it require more than one person to do it? I’m also 6’2” so I appreciate the notice in the size/use of it. I’m just getting started in this journey and this looks like a decent cheap entry point.
@Nice Shot Can't control the prices just get what you can when you can afford it. Even if you have to slowly build up your collection. Or just get a gym membership
Yes but if you’re a beginner and can’t do more than 150lbs (total weight of this home gym in the video) there’s no point of getting the Marcy Smith Machine first. I’d say get the one in the video and once you you build the strength where you need more weight, sell it and then buy the Marcy Smith Machine.
Thanks for your helpful review!! I love this machine but am worried that I might outgrow the 150lbs of weight and want more. Do you feel like 150lbs is enough weight? Have you ever maxed out with all the weight and if so how does it feel? Thanks you
OK so I took a chance and bought this machine just put it together and let me tell you the 150 pounds will be enough. It is 150 pounds of weight but with the pulley system they give you a chart and with the chest press with all the weights it looks like it’s a resistance of 200 pounds they have a resistance chart if you type it in Google and it will show you the weight resistance for each exercise. Hope this helps everybody. By the way this is an awesome machine. It blew me away. I am 6 feet tall and it is a . challenge on some exercise, I have to adjust the chain to make it work for me for the pull downs but overall extremely happy go for it. Great company. Also, I was missing a part I called them up and they sent it out. No questions asked great customer service.
I think that metal slot where the preacher pad goes is a safety hazard when you are doing lat pulldowns... if someone is moving vigorously and hit their lower back on it, injury is guaranteed. It's an alright home gym for what you pay, but it lacks a lot of features that you can get for paying a hundred or two extra for better spec system
Good review sir. I am thinking about buying one. Squats are beginning to take a toll on my left hip. I think the leg extension and hamstring curl could more or less replace the squat for me.
I believe the max weight is 150 if im correct? how is that for chest press if you can do more? is the resistance something that makes it a little tougher?
Thanks for the video!! A really complete one. 👏 Is it still in good condition or did it break over time?
i know its been 6 years but do you know how much each plate weighs?
Wal mart sells it for 275. Im getting one next week.
What model dork ??? They have numerous
Great video. Purchasing now. Thanks !

Good review, thanks.
Im 5'11" and have no issues.
I bought after seeing this review. This was simple and real. So thank you.
Is it safe to put in an apartment building, can the floor hold the machine?
I'm 66, 5'7". I've been thinking about getting this to try building up some strength. Thanks for the review.
I was looking for a video like this 5 years ago. Better late than never.
Good Video with Demo. Beat for their machine
Squeeze when contracting on the seated Cable flys
One question. What is your height?
I like the Marcy Smith Machines better. They allow for more weight.

Appreciate your review. Thanks mate.
My neighbor bought one from Costco..he's ok with it...lm waiting to get mine now..
Found this very useful! Thank you for taking the time to make the video.
Like your video and i am looking forward to buy. I have a question, does the side weights have a risk of falling off while doing heavy weight?
thank you lots
How much is a decent power rack?
It's unfortunate that the seat height is not adjustable. Good review!
Just got one free from work I'm about to set it up, can't wait to see what it's got
for some reason whenever i try to do the bicep curls the cable starts to pull up the leg extension. how can i fix this?
Hi Jake, just curious how tall are you?
Thanks for your helpful review!! I love this machine but am worried that I might outgrow the 150lbs of weight and want more. Do you feel like 150lbs is enough weight? Have you ever maxed out with all the weight and if so how does it feel? Thanks you
I also would like to know this!
I really don’t want to buy it and find out it’s not heavy enough! 😅
Yes. I am still waiting for this answer.

Excellent video thank you this is a model I believe I just purchased but I’m in Canada and it was $800 crazy lol Model MWM-7119
Best demo. Thank you sir.
Thanks for the review. How long did it take you to set up?
what about the weight stack? How much weight per plate?
Thank you!
TY
Awesome!! That was really helpful! I’m 6’0, so I believe it will be perfect for me! Thanks
You can also train back with the bench exercise but pull it instead and lean into the preacher pad.
Hi Jake. I just scratched my ass and it smells like enchiladas. Just wanted you to know. Thanks 🙏😊
Can you deadlift ?
Great vid. Very good thoughtful honest review. Thanks

I just bought one and I’m 5”2 and it’s too long for me

This is, without a doubt, *THE* best video on this equipment - Hands down. Thank you so much for making the time to create it!
I believe the max weight is 150 if im correct? how is that for chest press if you can do more? is the resistance something that makes it a little tougher?
If I remember correctly, the actual resistance is closer to 200lbs
Do you have to put it together yourself ?
Hi bro How tall are you and does it fit you well
Jack thank you! Mine is getting delivered tomorrow and now I really can't wait to use it! Thanks again!
What model is this? And how much did it cost?
Great video homie I purchased one a month ago and I love it
Can you add more weight to it?
From what I remember goes up to 180. That’s about it I think
Uncut, raw and real. Thank you for this great review👍Where did you buy this from and can you put a link in the description box?
