Brilliant piece of kit
For the money this has to be the best bargain ever for home gym equipment, the steel frame sections are solid, it fits together really well and it works perfectly, the movements are smooth, cannot recommend it enough especially with the extra £12 ebay discount code that I found on ukhotdeals. Tip, is on the lower pulley to feed the cable through the front hole when performing seated rows & simply change the cable & feed it through the top as pictured for standing excerise, I have also bought a rope & V handle grip which attach easily when needed.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

too small and needs to be made taller
The machine isn't high enough and you can’t get a full stretch when doing pull downs I keep banging my head on the front of the machine pull down bar I am 5ft 9in so anybody who is taller as no chance of using the machine. Also when doing arm curls the front of the machine lifts up. I think the machine is not high enough and not heavy enough I think the machine is made for young kids.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Perfect for home gym
Great product does exactly what you need to do with a home gym 100kg is a lot of weight to use. The only niggle I have is that I can’t fully extend my arms on a lat pull down even with the seat at its lowest point but I am 6,2 so if your taller than that you might struggle to get a complete movement. But despite this it’s a good product.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

One main issue if you tall and one small niggle but over all great buy for the price
As someone who used to weld and fabricate commercial gym equipment this surprised me. Seemed abit light and flimsy before I built it, but torque the fixtures up well and it's totally solid. No flex at all even at it's max 100kg load. It is a touch small so if your 6 foot or over, as it can be difficult to get a full extension with your arms... but just lean back abit and jobs a good un. Only real issue is the seat is too small I think. It should be another 150mm or so longer or positioned further back. You either hang off the end abit or hit your knees with weights... also the "hooks" made to hold the pull down bar are not wide enough and angled to low to be of much use so i suggest hitting them with a mallet to open them out to hold a bar better, and raise the angle abit but other than that and for the money it's great! The pulleys work very very smoothly honestly one of the best I've used in terms of running soomthly so that impressed alot. If you leave the end cap off the bottom pulley box section and re thread the cable through the end hole you can also use this for seated row which I found out to my advantage! I'll be welding a few bits onto mine to make it better suited to me and my applications but again for the money great buy much cheaper than i could habe made myself! and it goes together easily (25 mins on my own it was ready to go) Over all really good buy thanks alot guys!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Does the job......but....
Great piece of kit for the money and I cannot moan in that respect......however if you're above 5ft 7 then you are too tall for this machine......i added extra height with box section steel and it works a treat but I sit back to front as the seat isn't in the right place. Minor criticisms as the asking price is more than fair but the machine needs a bit of basic modding.....which if you're capable in a DIY context then youl be fine.....we have to keep in mind and be fair to the fact that the price is on point.....i could pay many times more for a "superior" machine that isn't a great deal different.....thankfully if you're mod minded it's easily sortedVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good value for home gym
Very good product for the price. Easy to put together and works well. Down side is that when using the lower attachment to do curls etc you have to stand on the base to prevent the machine lifting up. Also if taller than 5.10ft your arms won't fully extend without loss of tension on muscles (load rests on support). Other than these issues I believe it's good value for myself and use within any home gym.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Not for tall people
Due to the pandemic I was pretty desperate for gym equipment and I had already read that this was probably going to be small Im 6'2" and it was very cramped, the weight would hit my legs as they came down if not careful and I was only getting 3/4 of a rep on the lat pull down. In the end I welded in some 50x50x3mm box to make it 30cm taller and 30cm longer. Now it is pretty much perfect for me.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
