assembled the plate loaded version of the all-in-one from Bells of steel using this video and it went smoothly. Shout out to Ryan and Andrew for the great job on explaining the process. Assembling alone made it a little more challenging but not impossible. A little trick when bolting the two rods, place a small 2 x 4 inch piece of wood under the base to raise it high enough off the floor to place the bolts underneath and tighten. The all-in-one is a kick-ass home gym. Teamed up with the lever arm attachment it offers a plethora of exercises. Fit perfectly in my unfinished home basement gym. There are two holes in the top of the frame the rods bolt into, I used two 3/8" bolts to bolt a support to secure the machine to the ceiling joist to prevent the risk of the unit tipping. Bolting to the floor for me was not an option. Bells of steel has a winner on their hands with this all-in-one home gym !
Bells of Steel will do well . The equipment looks top of the line and people are quitting the joke gyms and building at home gyms. Good instructional video!
Hello I was wondering if I would be able to assemble this in a basement with 81.5 inch ceilings. Seems like it would be a close fit and some of the steps looks like you would need more ceiling height to put together.
Thank you guys so much for this! Ahhh been asking for it for a while now and love that I have this to reference when I finally put mine together here hopefully in the next few weeks! 💪
It seems like my plates don't slide well on the driver bars (part#39) are they supposed to be oiled like the front pulley slider(Part#40)? When I pull with 10lb, the weights do not go back down on there own.
With 10lb plates it should definitely go back on it's own. Please make a video of this and send it to our support team so they can help you troubleshoot. support@bellsofsteel.com
@@BELLSOFSTEEL I'm having the same issue but trying to send a video from my phone through email leaves me only about 6 seconds of video before the file is "too big" to attach as an email. Any chance you could figure out if O.P was able to fix this issue and how it was fixed?
@@BlackWat3rGTR yes, They told me to put silicone lube. Get yourself some WD-40 Silicone lube And apply it with a towel Runs smooth now. Also I found that after using it for a while it seems to get smoother
We'll add it to the list of assemblies to film! Unfortunately, due to staffing and lack of space in the showroom, we can only film so many. However, the goal is to have an assembly video for all major products down the road.
everything I have seen makes it the easiest way to go. I got the plate loaded version myself but I did see the review that Gluck's Gym did last week and he had mentioned it makes the most sense to have it on the back as well.
This is insane trying to fit the kidney piece and bolt through part 42. It will not fit and swivels with significant difficulty if I do manage to sandwich anything in.

Do you tighten the #6 bolts on the pulleys or leave it loose. I tightened them but notice the movements on the cables are not as smooth as I would like.
@@ericsehn4029 I have a very slight wiggle in mine, but in my experience, the "unsmoothness" comes from the dogshit factory lube on the weight stack guide rods. I added some silicone based lubricant to them and it's super smooth now 👍
Dude this just took me forever to get the bolts to fit, I literally had to bend out the metal. My entire machine came bent in a lot of areas too so I spent more than an hour just trying to bend metal just to make pulleys fit…

Is the assembly similar for the plate loaded version? You don't have a specific video for that one.
Should I grease or oil the pulleys or pulley bolts before installing?

My boxes have been sitting in the garage for the past oast few weeks. Time to finally set it up!

I really appreciate this video! Will you also make a video for the plate loaded version? Thanks!

@@BELLSOFSTEEL can I also use this video to assemble the plate loaded unit?
Perfect timing, sort of. I went to order one of these for the Mar 31 pre-order and looks like they’re sold out😢. Guess they must be popular!
It was definitely popular, however we've already set a restock in motion. Keep your eyes peeled on out website!
So inserting the pin from the back is the official recommendation?

It seems to work best
Just bought the plate loaded functional trainer do you have a video for that product?
Unfortunately we don't. We'll add it to the list to have one filmed.

Sorry to hear. Hopefully you were able to get this to work. If not, we can ask someone from our parts department contact you directly.
Can i purchase from India

We need Bells of steel in EU :)
Hopefully one day!
@@BELLSOFSTEEL ♥️
Built this a couple months ago. Trying to fit the bolts/nut in that tiny space at around 8:38 is a nightmare. Absolute garbage design.
Sorry to hear, hopefully this is something we can address if we update the machine down the road

I couldn’t agree more it definitely seems like an after thought and lazy.
