I purchased the Bally's Over the Door Home Gym, because I wanted to tone up a little, and at the time I lived in a small one bedroom apartment. This home gym was supposedly ideal for small spaces, and designed to fit on any interior door.I thought this home gym would be great for my needs, so I didn't hesitate to order it. I was disappointed before the gym was ever delivered. It wa...

The Powerhouse series by MPEX is designed to be a simple home gym that can fit anywhere in your home. Mine is located in the master bedroom and it really does not take up much space. This home gym has a range of ways to work out, including both upper and lower bodies. It comes with a bench press bar, a curl bar, a range of weights (10, 5 and 2.5 pound), and safety equipment. It is relatively ea...

The Marcy Smith Cage home gym is a hidden gem. For less than $400.00, you will receive an entire workout station for your home. The gym is rather large so it will need a designated space. This space should be chosen before you attempt to assemble the product due to the immense weight after assembly.Assembly is the only downfall of the Marcy Smith Cage. It took two people more than three days to...

the iron gym is a 30$ piece of machinery that to many people seem like a good deal and a good way to work out, but dont be fooled.the iron gym in some ways can be very easy to us but in others its not.the iron gym is a product that can hook on to the frame of your door frame. to do this you have to put some thing that comes withit in the door frame and then put the iron gym on top of it . this ...

I love this machine! I too liked the unattached FID bench that comes with a leg extension/lying leg curl attachment and grab handles on the bench assembly. I guess I'm in the minority regarding my opinion of the press arm station, but if you position yourself slightly further away from the rotating press arms than normal, all pressing motions feel excellent. The pivoting arms allow you to p...

The Total Gym 1700 Club by Fitness Quest is the most versatile exercise machine I have ever owned. It's convenient and fun.  The range of exercises you can do on it is amazing. Strengthen, increase flexibility, and tone and tighten with one machine--exercising made easy. There are six levels of workouts for varying difficulty. Each level uses your own body...

OK.  Seriously, as a home gym I expect two things. 1.  To get my money's worth.2.  To feel like I am getting a gym equivalent workout.My standards are not impossibly high, right?  I paid a grand total of $75 for a two month old gym off of Craig's List (for the love of all that is good and beautiful in this world, NEVER BUY A HOME GYM AT FULL PRICE!  People ...

My husband and I purchased the bowflex sport for both of us to use.  We both have used free weights and machines before and considered purchasing a home gym with weights but after researching it we decided to go with the BowFlex.  We chose the Sport model simply because it was the best value.  It has everything we wanted, the rowing option, the leg attachments, and the lat bar, a...

 As an owner of this machine, I can tell you that if you are dedicated to keeping yourself fit, this is a good piece of equipment to own. It took a few hours to put it together, but once it was assembled it works well.   The machine is easy to use and comes with instructions on how to do each exercise. It also comes with a meal plan, grocery list. and a chart to log you progress....

This is one of those products that you get all hyped up about at first, but then just sits in your garage and you never use it.  I wish I would have bought something that you didn't constantly have to work to change around when you want to work on a different part of your body.  It is also heavy, and not very easily moved around if you aren't keeping it set up in one spot of y...

The Weider Total Body Works 5000 is a home gym that is efficient, low cost and delivers what it promises, which is a total body workout. I have been using it for about 8 months and love it. The machine is simple to use. The machine uses a system of cables and a gliding board which allows the exerciser to use their own body weight as resistance. There is also an attached squatting board for lowe...

I purchased the bowflex 4 years ago when I was on the road alot and my husband wanted to workout but couldn't get to the gym with two small children. We got the leg attachment with the home gym and we were given the poster and video to teach us how to get the most out of the home gym. The ads say 2 or 3 days a week and you can be bulked up and slimmed down and loose several dress sizes....y...

Talk about the most useless waste of money anyone could invest in for their health. Let me spare you and suggest spending this money on a 1-year gym membership. Here's a basic rundown of why this thing will only shrink your wallet, and not improve your body. First, not all resistance training is bad, but in this case it is. These "bows" do not offer consistent resistance. When you...

I just bought Iron Gym about a month ago. I have been using it almost everyday and I do notice a couple of changes. It will fit through an ordinary door way, but just incase be sure to measure yours, It is designed to fit residential doorways 24" to 32" wide with doorway trim or molding up to 3.5 inches wide. When you use it the first time use a timer, and time yourself, for exam...

The Total Gym 1700 Club helped me tone and condition the muscles I  use every day to stand, walk, lift and turn. It can actually helped to transform my body composition. By reducing...

After having this gym for a few weeks I have finally got round to assembling it. The instruction manual unfortunately is not that great, the step by step is more of an exploded view, so it can be confusing as to what to piece together first. The other thing that was a bit of an issue was the list of parts and their quantities, this did not always match up, however I did have a few spares once I...

In June I joined the United States Marine Corps and at first I was struggling with my pull ups. I went to the recruiting office and did pull ups everytime i went and got better over time. By December I was doing 10 pullups but still struggling a little bit. I was watching TV and noticed a new commercial for Iron gym so I decided to go down to Walgreens and buy it. I went home and pulled it out ...
