| BFPR10 - Solid Squat Rack - 4 / 5 | |||
| I squat 150 LBS or less, as I am a 5"9" endurance athlete. With that in mind...I find this is a well made rack, and the powder coated finish looks great. At 74 LBS it does not move. It has 4'' liftoffs and 7" safety's which are surfaced with rubber pads. I find the 7 possible positions for the liftoffs/safeties are adequate for my use. I've seen a review where the rubber pads on the liftoffs came off after a few lifting sessions but this has not been the case for me. I was concerned that the horizontal bar would interfere with squats. It does not, I do not step over it, but instead stand close to it, facing the bar. However, the horizontal bar at the bottom is mounted a little high, so it can interfere with some benches. I don't use a bench with this rack so it is not an issue. You may want to buy this first and then buy a bench (which you probably already have). After a session of Russian Dead Lifts, for example, I place my weight bar on the safeties to keep the bar off the floor and out of the way. I did have to assemble it, but easily did so in less than 30 minutes. I give it 5 stars if the horizontal bar were not in the front of the rack. |

| I use to own this pro smith gym when I lived up north but had to sell it when I moved. It was the best piece of equipment I ever bought for working out with. I had a small like 8X10 room and it just fit, was always a squeeze to move the bench out of the way to do rowing exercises, but I made it work. I loved it. It, like all smith machines self spots you, so that when you just can't make that last rep, you can safely get out from under the bar without it crushing your windpipe or chest. With the low and high pulleys you can do almost any kind of cable work you want. The only draw back to most women (myself included) was that the pec dec was too far out in front of the back support. It is fine for 200 pound men but we who are of smaller proportions just can't safely/comfortably move the arms without straining (again because of the position of them away from the back cushion). Other than that it is a fine piece of equipment and will serve you well for years and years |

| GLP - Great attachment for the G5S! - 5 / 5 | |||
| Recently bought this as an addition to my G5S - very pleased. Fantastic for leg/calf presses. Same commercial grade construction. Easily assembled (compared to the G5S). The 2X leverage means the 210lb weight stack feels like 420lb ... more than enough weight! Note: You can attach this leg press on either the left or right hand side! (Also, the G5S can only support one add-on as there is only one tie-in to the existing weight stack.) |

| G5S - Great home gym - even better customer service! - 5 / 5 | |||
| Bought this G5S a couple of months ago and recently added the leg press GLP attachment. Thoroughly impressed with the quality of the components and overall equipment. This is definitely commercial grade equipment. Very pleased with my purchase. Also very happy with the service - which is good as they promise. Real live people to speak and they delivered on their warranty promise. I had a couple of odds and ends that either were missing, and in 2 cases, broke during assembly (imagine a big monkey with a large hammer and a few hundred parts). Body Solid happily and quickly shipped the replacement parts. No cost, no fuss. Happy customer. |

| G3S - Versatililty & Quality - 5 / 5 | |||
| I shopped extensively for a home gym and through tireless experience and comparison chose the G3S by Body Solid. One of my concerns was the availability of a 210 lb. weight stack. The G3S is a 160 lb. machine but can be increased to 210 lb. by purchasing the SP50 which is an extra 5 plates. The G3S comes with enough labels to label up to 210 lbs. of plates. The gym arrived in 6-7 boxes on a skid. Three large boxes and 4 small boxes containing the weight plates. Assembly takes better part of a day followed by tuning. The instruction manual is excellent. This gym is awesome, I love it. I gave up my Olympic bench and weights and purchased this machine so my wife would also be able to work out. She loves it which is a great relief. It looks awesome in the work out room and I find myself gravitating to it all of the time to exercise. | |||

I am just writing you to let you know that my Body Solid Powerline Smith Gym is still my workout of choice. This has been in my basement for around 8 years now and still going strong. Now that my kids are older I am looking to expand with some new equipment and Body Solid is on the top of the list! Keep up the good work! Jim Berryhill |

| EXM3000LPS - Bodybuilding.com Home Gym review - 4 / 5 | |||
Clearly the highest price tag of all the pieces in this report, but worth the money based on convenience alone. If you aren't interested in lugging plates around and loading them on all your machines, then this piece is definitely for you. This machine has duel weight stacks, each being 210 pounds. However, the calf raise and leg press station works off of a 2:1 weight ratio which allows the resistance to go up to 420 pounds. Just like above, this machine also handles 2 users at the same time. The size of this piece is about the same as the Powertec Workbench. This piece of equipment is built very well and of great quality. The padding on this piece has the same Body-Solid standard on all their pieces-being very comfortable and durable. This piece has a very natural and comfortable feel when in use. Biomechanically, this piece is amazing. With so many pin positions, you can tweek this piece to hit the muscle exactly the way it needs to be worked. via Bodybuilding.com |
