The home gym is light weight and easy to maneuver. There are positives and negatives to this, but you will have to decided if convenience of working out at home is going to outweigh having to go to a crowded gym. I will probably never get as big as I have been in the past by using this gym, but I will stay fit and in good shape. This home gym has almost everything you need. I would suggest buying, separately, a pulley pro to use in conjunction with this home gym.I'm not going to lie and say that I was completely satisfied on my first purchase. The directions that come with the home gym are confusing and very limited. It's sort of like a puzzle, so good luck on that end. I put mine together twice before getting it right. The holes on the bench where the bench attaches to the main frame were not drilled straight, and so the lynch pin would not go in. I was very frustrated and wrote a negative review.After my initial review, I was contacted by the whole sale company and they corrected the problem with the bench. Their customer service change my mind, and that is when I wrote this new review. I can't promise that they will do for you what they did for me, but I can say that I am pleased to have done business with this company.
