A Review Of The Weider Pro 4300

If you're studying the market for a home gym, you might want to consider the Weider Pro 4300. This is an affordable alternative to other home gyms in its class as it's effective in developing your strength and toning your muscles. In addition, it won't take up too much space if you're planning to use it inside your home. The entire setup only measures 43" x 77" x 83".

You'll be impressed with this equipment's smooth operation and quiet performance. You'll also find variety in your exercise routines because it provides many customizable features. The Weider Pro 4300 has a butterfly station, a chest press station, a high and low pulley system, an ankle strap with a handle, pivot bushing and precision bearing pulleys, a preacher-curl pad, and an adjustable seat combined with an equally adjustable backrest.

The Weider Pro 4300 also has two 125-pound Durastack weight stacks, plus 6 various body-sculpting stations, although it can offer up to 195 pounds of pure resistance for optimal results. You can always change your routines as you strengthen your muscles and take on bigger challenges as you tone. Both your upper body and lower body benefit from this fitness equipment, making its price of approximately $500 quite reasonable.

An adjustable seat and preacher pad make shifting from one position to another relatively easy. The Weider Pro 4300 may be used for more than 30 various exercises, and an exercise chart is included with the purchase of your unit.

Despite its compact size, its frame is made of tough steel, Precision system bushes and bearings, and vinyl-covered surfaces which make it especially easy to clean. However, it's precisely this compactness that limits the range of motions one can perform on the Weider Pro 4300. If you're into casual body building, then this home gym will do, but if you're into competitive strength training, then you should be looking for a larger home gym unit.

Another downside to the Weider Pro 4300 is that it takes very long to assemble - sometimes even taking up to 8 hours - due to the sheer number of parts to be put together. These parts are not individually labeled, so you are constrained to keep referring to the manual to identify the parts and to determine which one goes into what.

Another flaw in the design has something to do with the lat bar. In the Weider Pro 4300, the lat bar can only be used when you're facing the machine. Otherwise, the chest bars will be in the way if you have your back to the machine. It's also quite difficult to order replacement parts as the process can sometimes take up to 2 weeks.

Although it doesn't score well on all fronts, the Weider Pro 4300 still gives you good value for your money because it's still a bargain-basement price. It promises to offer you a little bit of everything so regardless of the disadvantages, you'll still see some improvement on the fitness front.
