This is the best review I’ve ever seen for a home gym. It’s refreshing to see a reviewer actually comment on the product without a lot of jibber jabber. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for this video. This machine has been collecting dust in my husband's house since before I moved in. I canceled my expensive membership to the gym and decided to go ahead and give this a try. You have inspired me 😊
I am so happy to have found this video. Thank you so much for demonstrating how it works, and especially for the female version, for me to see, I can do this as well. Again, thank you very much.
These equipment does help get you get in shape at home and is really convenient.its a good trade -off for the little inconveniences it does have though.
I believe you get 210lbs on the stack. Leaving the ego at the door, being creative and knowing where insert/origin points of the muscle, this is a great machine to maintain and build muscle. By showing all the features and talking about the limitations, I've found a few creative ways to build the chest, shoulders, and legs. I think I'm going to wait for the mass rush of "new years resolution "folks to buy it, so I can get a better price. Good video
I bought this machine in 2020 as well and doing the butterfly movements has always been odd to me. This whole time I thought I wasn’t doing something right but as it turns out, I’m not alone. This machine just really isn’t made to do that full butterfly movement. I can’t have my back flat against the pad while doing butterflies, because it’s too far of a reach for my arms to line up with the bars. I’m not a short guy either. It’s just not an ideal machine for butterflies. Lat pulldowns are fine. Rows are fine. Chest press is fine. Leg extensions feel odd because it’s like I’m not getting the full range of motion. There also isn’t an ideal way to do curls on this machine. If someone has any suggestions, I’m all ears. If I try to do curls from the bottom pulley, I can’t get a full rep in without the plates hitting the top of the machine, which puts me at a full stop. This machine comes with a poster of a bunch of different lifts to do but this machine doesn’t provide the features necessary to do them. It makes me wonder why they did this. Makes me feel like they didn’t put much effort into the thought of this machine. I’m not new to lifting but I am relatively new to home gyms and what to really look for. I think the price hooked me. I actually got this machine from Kohl’s funnily enough. Thank you for the review. 💯
I'm just about to put mine together in the next few days. Your video was reassuring that I didn't waste my money before opening it 😂💪🏼😎. Thanks, man. I appreciate the helpful video.
All online description for this say you can do hamstring curls but I haven't seen any photos or videos of anyone actually doing those on this device. Can you let me know of this movement is actually possible? Thanks for such great information
After using this machine would you recommend Weider 2980 x instead of the one you used in this vid? Thx, about to pull the trigger on the Weider 2980 x, also i am a beginner here need to kill that extra fat i gain after quitting smoke lol
I got the same machine at home and so far with this weight loss journey I’m down 18lbs from 360 to 342 I do know exactly what you mean about the butterflies they could of did a better job designing something else to make it comfortable while doing them
Nice video! My wife ordered the golds gym xr50 and they sent me the weider xr50, I like it but I have the same problem you were talking about lining up the holes. I just got back surgery so healing up but ready to get on the machine.
The weight in combination with the arms of the machine provide 280 pounds of resistance. Trust me it's true, I have this machine. Maybe it's not all the way at 280 but you can definitely feel the difference when doing chest presses vs using the hanging overhead bar.
I like the looks of this home gym not so tall 7" long is perfect for my room , but I did notice there is no arm curl and it looks like the home gym shakes a lot is it sturdy ?
Great video! However I’m having this problem: When I use only one plate the "weight selector" bar will keep getting stuck on the top plate. Can anyone provide any tips to solve this problem.
Awesome Follow up review. Yes the butterfly issue seems to be a little awkward. Also on the rowing part of the machine it is almost like they forgot to put a port in there for foot rest were the front stabilization petals or pads are on the front of the machine. Part of a work out is not only get a full pull back but getting full stretch an extension to extract your muscles out to get the blood flow going through them this is how you both got more. This is where creatine and other product help oxygen get into your muscles by the stretching of the muscle. You’re too crammed in there on the roads. If you look at the machine in order to forward ground supports or I can weld I would attach something on here do you want foot rest so you can get full extension. Awesome follow up video I want to thank you for it because I’m looking for one of these machines. After I got stage four cancer and my wife made me get my 16 position universal Away for free.on let go.Dan bought me a gym membership. Though we know the gyms are closed and very risky to go to. And it’s at planet shit mess they have terrible machines to resistant machines you can bulk up on them. It takes 10 times longer and you really don’t talk up on the resistance machine it’s not a straight cable machine it’s going through poison crap. We don’t need to go into that we just need to say this was a good video thank you for your help as I’m looking at one that someone has brand new and his wife went and decided to buy a peloton and I can’t fit both in their small apartment so I’m wondering how much to offer him. God Bless .
Hi I bought recently this machine it was nice but when I’m doing excersize the weight pin is not going straightly it’s going sides and I’m going putting the weighting pin in middle
How much weight does it have? And how much does the max weight feel like compared to free weights? Like if it's 150lbs, does it really feel like 150? At the gym I work out with 225 free weight and I want it to feel at least close to that.
Actually it wasn't difficult to assemble. If you have the patience to make sure you have all the parts before you put it together just follow along with the instructions that come with it and you should be simple.😊
So this is okay to set up against a wall? I bought one haven't set up yet. I was flipping thru manual and seen says place it where u can walk completely around it so I wasn't sure if that's bcuz there are other exercises that can be done with it? I seen it came with a guide but I cldnt tell from the pics if there were any that were being behind the machine.
Hey man, got a question about this machine. I’m having trouble getting a full range of motion doing bicep curls with the low pulley. Is there a way to adjust this or am I just too tall for the machine? (Commented on your other video just in case you don’t see this one)
okay, I am googling like crazy.. I am trying to figure out how to use the lower pully... when I try to pull it it doesn't pull the weight plates but pull on the cable up top and basically stuck. How do I set it up to actually pull on the weight? (for the seated rows/leg extentions)
This is the best review I’ve ever seen for a home gym. It’s refreshing to see a reviewer actually comment on the product without a lot of jibber jabber. Thanks a lot.
Yours is the only review to actually show someone using it. Thank you
Total weight?
Thank you so much for this video. This machine has been collecting dust in my husband's house since before I moved in. I canceled my expensive membership to the gym and decided to go ahead and give this a try. You have inspired me 😊
Thanks for taking the time to put up the review. Just bought one and looking forward to getting some work in

Best review of this machine I have seen so far nice job and very informative.
Thanks, was about to buy this, and your review changed my mind.

Thank you! Got mine today for my husband and family-excited to start on it.
How was the assembly?

thanks for the review, in depth and practical. Mine is coming tomorrow and I am glad to see it is functional.
Dope review. Straight to the point & informative. Thank you G.
I'm just about to put mine together in the next few days. Your video was reassuring that I didn't waste my money before opening it 😂💪🏼😎. Thanks, man. I appreciate the helpful video.
Thanks just got one of these stoked to workout
Just got mine yesterday
Hello I have a question on the warning proposition 65 cancer any details on that
This is a FANTASTIC review. This machine looks decent for a beginner like like me. God bless you.
Thank you for the review!! Looking at getting in shape myself.
how tall is the machine got low basement ceilings 7ft if that
Your video is very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
thanks for the review man!
Thanks for the review I got mine about a week ago and I wasn’t sure if the trouble with the butterfly’s were just me or a everyone thing 😂
this was an amazing review!! thank you!
Really good review! Thanks!
The worst thing I've noticed about the machine is if you use only one plate the "weight selector" bar will keep getting stuck on the top plate
I have that same issue
Yeah sme the pin won't go through
Thank you for this review
I got one I'm not new to working out but u can get a good pump with it I like using it for back and legs the chest part is too easy
Thanks for the review, been looking at this to build up some strength
nice review, i have the same machine. i agree that butterflies on it suck
Great video/review. Very helpful.
Great video do you know how much weight is on it?
More routines please
Saw both videos, isn't the max of 112 pounds a bit too light for chest press & lat pull downs ?
All online description for this say you can do hamstring curls but I haven't seen any photos or videos of anyone actually doing those on this device. Can you let me know of this movement is actually possible? Thanks for such great information
Thanks for sharing the details of the exercise.. new friend.
After using this machine would you recommend Weider 2980 x instead of the one you used in this vid? Thx, about to pull the trigger on the Weider 2980 x, also i am a beginner here need to kill that extra fat i gain after quitting smoke lol
Maybe try rubber bands on the weight stack to increase resistance
Great review 👏 👌
I got the same machine at home and so far with this weight loss journey I’m down 18lbs from 360 to 342 I do know exactly what you mean about the butterflies they could of did a better job designing something else to make it comfortable while doing them
Keep working if you stop! Don’t stop if you continued. The journey is not over!
Nice video! My wife ordered the golds gym xr50 and they sent me the weider xr50, I like it but I have the same problem you were talking about lining up the holes. I just got back surgery so healing up but ready to get on the machine.
Thanks for a great video!
How much weight does the chest press have? How is it have 112 lb stack but 280 lbs of resistance just a bit confused could plz answer?
Me too

@@gotyoutriggered7888 yeah its the pulleys n shit
I like the looks of this home gym not so tall 7" long is perfect for my room , but I did notice there is no arm curl and it looks like the home gym shakes a lot is it sturdy ?
Can you add more plates on the machine?
Bought one of these for my wife used. The center rod/pin keeps wobbling and hitting the bottom plates on the way down. Any idea how I fix this?
I just assembled mine and the low cable for the leg is so hard to lift. I cant seem to figure out where i went wrong lol in the assembly
Great video! However I’m having this problem: When I use only one plate the "weight selector" bar will keep getting stuck on the top plate. Can anyone provide any tips to solve this problem.
Thanks for this review!
is there a PDF that has routines and exercises to use with this equipment?

How many sets and reps do you do and how often do you do it?
This was very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to review this.
Dude...thank you
Lol.great review mate
Great video!
Do you know where we can get some more plates to add weight?
Thanks good review
Best review!!! Thanks a lot!! :)
Is there no way you can add more weight plates on it?
Is there a way to do the bottom one
This was a really good review
Great video! Sold me on one. Thanks 😊
Really good timing! I was looking at one of these just today!
Same
can you please make a video of your bench?
Thanks for the review! Could I ask how tall are the men? The movements look a little tight
he says hes 6"2 in the video
They r tight
U should be able to adjust it so I can go all the way down
For the home gym how much total weight is it?
What is the round weight for that's behind the gym.... It looks like a barbell and weight behind the home gym
Do you recommend this? I was thinking of buying it but saw some bad reviews
Good review
Great review
Hi I bought recently this machine it was nice but when I’m doing excersize the weight pin is not going straightly it’s going sides and I’m going putting the weighting pin in middle
Can u help me on that
Its a manufacturer flaw. I have the same issue.
So Wht can I do now
How much weight does it have? And how much does the max weight feel like compared to free weights? Like if it's 150lbs, does it really feel like 150? At the gym I work out with 225 free weight and I want it to feel at least close to that.
I am 6ft and taller! Do you recommend this for tall people I hear reviews saying that it lacks range of motion
Thank you for the review I just received mine. Was it difficult to assemble because it is a lot of parts
Actually it wasn't difficult to assemble. If you have the patience to make sure you have all the parts before you put it together just follow along with the instructions that come with it and you should be simple.😊
how tall are the guys? we're trying to find a system for taller people. my brother is 6'7" out here making this difficult lol.
So this is okay to set up against a wall? I bought one haven't set up yet. I was flipping thru manual and seen says place it where u can walk completely around it so I wasn't sure if that's bcuz there are other exercises that can be done with it? I seen it came with a guide but I cldnt tell from the pics if there were any that were being behind the machine.
how the cable handles the weight? I read some youtube movies saying the cable is broken and may cause injure?
Hey man, got a question about this machine. I’m having trouble getting a full range of motion doing bicep curls with the low pulley. Is there a way to adjust this or am I just too tall for the machine? (Commented on your other video just in case you don’t see this one)
Hmm are you using the chain it came with. If so take the link off the chain and link it to the attachment on the machine.
How much weight is in the weight stack and what are the weight increments?
About 210.
Which gym equipment is best for belly fat?
i have this machine and was wondering what is the most effective for belly fat?
Cardio and eating less.
@@kyleanderson1630 will i be able to get a 6 pack using this machine? the problem im trying to figure how long i do it for and how many times
Cardio is for mainly weight loss this machine is for strength training
Would you recommend this or a bow flex for weight training?
I would recommend this machine over then bow flex it’s cheaper and offers almost the same work outs but if u have the money go for the. Bow flex
Could someone around 6'5" and 330lbs use this machine?
okay, I am googling like crazy.. I am trying to figure out how to use the lower pully... when I try to pull it it doesn't pull the weight plates but pull on the cable up top and basically stuck. How do I set it up to actually pull on the weight? (for the seated rows/leg extentions)
Can you add weight to this machine?
No possibly weider brand weights. but the max is the weights that come with it.
Great honest review seen this on sale at khols 279
Bought mine at Walmart for 175.
does it allow 280lb resistance for the bench press or is it only on the leg part??
Nice review man. I'm still on the fence with it... the price is right but it looks pretty damn cheap quality.
What you think it’s worth
Does it lower for any type of bench press?
Unfortunately know it doesn't.
Do you know the weight of the weight?
I have the same question. I jus bought one from a friend and I have no clue on the weights.
@@missj8426 112 lbs
I am 6’4. Does this seat lower down or is it adjustable so my head wouldn’t hit the top?
Sorry the seat does not adjust for us "tall folks" lol
Sorry for typos
So in other words it does the job but not so much of a good machine to buy
Why all chocolate ???????
Marcy is better
Great review. Thank you.
Good review man, thank you much!
Great review. Thanks!
