-J. PrestonYou have a lot of choices when it comes to home gyms. Some are larger than others. Some are more expensive than others. Here are some of the features of the Body Solid EXM2500S Selectorized Home Gym that make it a better choice than all the others:

It caught the attention of the people at Consumer Magazine, which isn't easy to do. They rated it as a No. 1 home gym.

It gives you everything you'd find in a full weight room in a minimum amount of space. You can get in a full workout without filling up you're whole home with weights.

Three people can use this machine at the same time. If you don't want to workout alone, you don't have to.

It's designed to be ergonomic with pads to support your back. It gives you the most comfortable workout you can get.

FANTASTIC CHOICE

Wow, if you can make it through the assembly, this is a fantastic choice of home gym. I live a long distance to my closest gym and the gas to get there was getting way too expensive. After doing tons of research, I did a leap of faith and ordered the Body Solid EXM 2500 and I am thrilled! It almost completely replaces the upper and lower body workout that I have been doing at the town gym. I can do two different tricep moves, a lat pull down, pec exercise, seated row, two types chest press,leg extension and tons more. It doesn't do cable cross overs with both arms at the same time, but hey, I do them one at a time. One thing I do miss is a leg press which comes as an option from other sources selling this machine. The bad news is that Body Solid does not make this model anymore and do not have leg presses to sell separately. There are still some of the 2500s still available and I suggest you grab one fast. Now for assembly... I knew it would take several hours (like 6) and it did but the whole process would have been faster if they would have text instructions as well as drawings. I'm not a dumb person but it was frustrating. I had read another person's suggestion of not tightening the pulleys until running the cable through and that was absolutely true. It's things like that they could tell you in the drawings and don't. But now that it's done and I'm back on my workout routine, I am loving it. Between gas and gyms fees, I will have paid it off in a year!

Excellent Home Gym

This is an excellent home gym. It is almost healthclub quality in construction, with smooth operation and a durable finish. It provides a wide variety of exercises in a fairly compact footprint. Moving from exercise to exercise is fast, allowing a very quick and effective workout. I highly recommend it for the price.

I like it!

My wife and son are using this more than me. Works very smoothly and is able to handle my 200 plus pound body and my much smaller wife's. Make sure to take the time to follow the instructions illustrations. Don't get frustrated when you may have to remove a pulley or two after installing them to run the cables. You can't do much better than this, other than going to the gym or buying a more expensive item.
