Very satisfied with new Home Gym.
By Douglas Dillenberger "Doug" (Bellingham WA)
The Body-Solid Home Gym arrived in six boxes in only 10 days. The instructions for assembly were not that great but after taking the time to organize the parts in particular the various sized bolts and associated nuts it went very well. I think the key to assembly is to read over each section carefully and get the exploded view down pat then follow the step by step directions. By the time I was done it took just about five hours and I had a few parts left over. The machine is everything I had hoped for. Its smooth action is a delight and both me and my wife love it already. I missed the workout center but now that I work out of my house the 20 mile round trip into town just didn't make sense. The money was well spent and I am 100% satisfied.
A nicely-designed unit, with great customer service!, April 16, 2008

I ordered the Body Solid EXM1500 one weekend; it arrived on Thursday in 6 boxes, with some scuffing and punctures, but nothing major.
If you have a metric socket set, it will pay for itself with this project; if you don't, get one before you even open the boxes. Next, organize the hardware (I used sandwich bags and a Sharpie). Other than a couple of slight discrepancies between the words and the diagrams, assembly is pretty straightforward, though with many parts. They even include a small bottle of touch-up paint!
My Customer Service experience: On Sunday, I found that the base frame was bent. I emailed pics to Customer Service. First thing Tuesday morning an email confirmed the replacement part had shipped. It arrived on Friday, well-packed, in perfect condition, and I completed assembly and began using it Sunday, two weeks after placing the initial order.
Impressively quick response on a replacement for what appears to be the most complex part in the unit. They completely insulated me from any kind of freight claim struggle (a concealed damage claim can cause an entire trucking company to spontaneously go deaf).
A very nicely designed unit, well-thought-out and rugged, with exceptional customer service and a great price. I would certainly do it all over again.

Tried the display model at Sears - this was a few years back- and after just a few minutes I was sold. This little home gym has it all. Just like the product description states, you get a complete work out in minutes. Best of all the footprint is small enough you can fit this in the corner where it's out of the way.
To be a little more specific of what I like about this gym: The geometry, the angles, seat height adjustments, handles and leg cushions, pulleys, and overall build all add up to something that feels like a lot of thought was put into it. You know those machines that frustrate you when you don't get the full extension? None is more frustrating to me than getting on a home gym especially a lat machine where you don't get to reach all the way. This machine even when benching will allow for full extensions. Additionally, you don't waste time transitioning between exercises. The only pause in exercise you really need is the few seconds it takes to lean over and change the weight amount.
Customer service with these guys was also an A+. I had a couple of end caps that were removed, reset, and bent out of shape. The company sent replacements without having to explain myself. If you can find a display somewhere test it out, you'll be surprised.

Body Solid EXM1500S Single Stack Home Gym: Suggestions for Best Exercise Results.
Important Points to Remember When Using a Home Gym.
Ideally, perform your exercise routine with your Body Solid EXM1500S Single Stack Home Gym two to three times per week which allows your body to recover between workouts. Be sure to think about the following:
Use the correct weights. If they're too light, you gain no real benefit. If too heavy you risk injuring yourself. To determine which is the right starting weight, try completing 10 - 15 repetitions in one set. If you can do it too easily, go up a notch; if you can't get through the reps, try a lighter weight.
Check your posture. You must maintain the correct posture for each exercise to maximise strength gains and prevent injury.
Don't rush. Perform each exercise in a single, slow, controlled movement. Never jerk or use too much force.
Take your time. Each phase of the exercise - both the lift and the return phase - should each take approximately 2 seconds to complete.
Breathe. Don't hold your breath during the movements. Breath out. as you lift a weight and in as you lower the weight to the starting position.
Use correct technique. Avoid "cheating" - with many exercises you can "cheat" by swinging your body and using momentum or other muscle groups to do the work.
Keep an exercise diary Keep a regular account of your exercise routines, recording the number of reps and the sets you do.
Drink water. Make sure you drink plenty of water before, during and after your workout using your Body Solid EXM1500S Single Stack Home Gym
