Customers are mixed about the ease of assembly of the strength training machine. Some mention that it's pretty easy to assemble, with fair instructions that are user friendly. However, others say that the instructions are not the best and you really have to look at the pictures to understand them. The issue was putting it together, with all-text assembly instructions that make you go cross-eyed. It takes hours to set it up and requires 2 people to erect.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the strength training machine. For example some mention it's a pretty solid machine, and is very stable. The quality of materials is better than most residential gym equipment, and it holds together well. That said, some say the construction probability won't hold up for those who are attempting to be power-lifters. The supports seem flimsy, and the leg extension is floppy. The entire structure shakes and wracks and the barbell gets jammed.

Customers have mixed opinions about the value of the strength training machine. Some say it's worth the price, while others say it was the absolute worst smith machine they have ever used. The product is not gym quality, and the manufacturing problems are understandable for the price.

Customers are mixed about the smoothness of the strength training machine. Some mention that the pulley system was very smooth, while others say that the cables are not smooth at all.

Customers are dissatisfied with the hardware of the strength training machine. They mention that some pieces were missing during unboxing, and some connecting pieces were also missing. Some customers also report that the arm had missing threads. Overall, customers are disappointed with the quality and quantity of the hardware.

Customers find the readability of the strength training machine to be poor. They mention that the directions are confusing and the images are poor. Some customers also mention that large parts are not labeled, while most small parts are labeledas. They also mention the cables are not numbered or have any kind of ID, making it difficult to locate the parts. Customers also report that the drawings have part number errors and can be confusing.

Customers are dissatisfied with the stability of the strength training machine. They mention that the pulleys barely move and the pole wiggles a lot. The weights constantly fall off and the machine moves around alot, causing the weights to slam. Customers also say that the bar gets stuck on the edges of the barbell rack.
"...The contents were jostling about inside, and I wasn't sure if I had all the pieces. Generally a less-than-ideal experience...." Read more

Let's be honest, complete home gyms with Smith Machines and Crossover Cables don't come cheap. They range from $600 (this one) up to $2500. If you're looking at this one, you're scraping the bottom of the barrel, you're extremely price sensitive, and wondering if a Marcy is as good quality as a Body Solid.
Shipping:
I see a lot of other reviews complaining about shipping. It comes in 3 boxes. One of them was handled perfectly, delivery guy came in with a hand truck and put it in the house where I wanted it. The other two boxes were in very rough shape. One of them had burst open and the side of the box was flapping as I dragged it into the house. The contents were jostling about inside, and I wasn't sure if I had all the pieces. Generally a less-than-ideal experience. I started to file a claim online, but they asked if any pieces were missing and I couldn't inventory without opening them all up, so I went ahead and unboxed all of it. It turns out that I did have all the pieces, but some of the hardware were scattered in the boxes instead of cellophane wrapped (and numbered) to the cardboard.
Assembly:
Definitely definitely do the cups idea! I put all my hardware in solo cups and sharpied the number on them. It would have been a nightmare without doing that. Some people here have said 8 hours, others 13. I took my time and it was probably 12 hours all total including unboxing, separating, parts, laying them out, throwing away plastic and cardboard, labeling cups, etc. Directions are a bit skiddish and hard to read sometimes. After a few hours you get to understanding their philosophy behind bolted joints and it becomes easier.
A few issues came up. On one of the supports, a beam was supposed to fit inside another. The hole was warped, so I had to use a dremel grinding bit to modify the shape of the hole for it to fit. Not a big deal, took 10 minutes to fix, but just be aware. Another hole had metal sticking up from where the hole was drilled and the metal prevented a beam from inserting into another. I had to dremel that as well. Other than that, assembly went well. In some parts it says Two People Recommended. It's possible to do with one person with a little care and dexterity, and I'm 5'0" 100 lbs, but I'm sure two people would be safer.
Performance/Features:
Smith Machine - definitely grease the guide rods with WD40. After that I don't see any reason why anyone would need linear bearings. The action is very smooth and I experience no binding when using it for squats or presses.
Crossover Cables - there's a little more friction in the system than what I imagined. I would have liked to have a stack of plates with a pin in the back for convenience but for $630 all total, I can't complain at all.
It lacks a lat pull down, and the bench doesn't have an attachment for a preacher curl. The pegs for the weights are plastic and a bit cheap feeling/looking. With everything else being pretty good quality (metal), these are the only things I have to gripe about - and it's a little petty.
Value:
Compare this to the Marcy Diamond Elite with Linear Bearings ($1050). Linear bearings sound nice, but once the guide rods are greased, you won't know the difference. Most power racks by themselves are $400-$500. With this, you get a bench w/ leg station, crossover cables, a fly station, and a seated row station.
If this system came with a Lat Pulldown and a Preacher Curl attachment and was $100 more, I'd get it. If it were $200 more and also included a stack of plates for the cables, I'd get that, too. The Gold's Gym System is actually close, but it isn't Amazon Prime eligible... so good luck with that shipping. ;)
I have it in a basement room. While the room is carpeted, I did put this on some of those interlocking puzzle tile mats. I ended up having to buy three sets of puzzle tiles (each set had six 2 by 2 panels) but only used 16 of the tiles. I used the tiles to avoid damaging the carpet and to provide a more stable surface. They look to be doing the trick. So anyway, this whole assembled device, including the bench, needs at least an 8 by 8 area. This gives you enough space to put a big weight plate (say 45 pounds) on the back part without hitting a wall as well as enough room to put plates on the bar and take them off again. It also should give you enough room for placing the bench with all the supports on the tile mat, though you could go with 20 tiles (or an 8 by 10 area) and have a little more room for the bench. You will also need a ceiling that is at least 8 feet high.
This does not come with any weights; you will need a set of Olympic plates. (I found one on closeout at a local sporting goods store.) It does have a bar that holds Olympic plates, but it is not a true Olympic bar. I am not sure of the exact weight of the bar but it is definitely much less than 45 pounds. (This is good for me as I am a small-framed woman who is new to lifting...) The *length* of the bar is the same as an Olympic bar, however.
This also does not come with a lat pulldown bar, but I just bought one on Amazon and it works fine with this machine. You do get the attachments/handles shown in the photo. You also get a poster illustrating the various exercises that are possible to do with this machine. I find this useful since I am not a gym rat. (I am sure there are more variations, but the poster is useful for a beginner.)
Regarding assembly, this took two adults (with PhDs in STEM fields...) about 9 and a half hours to put together. We took over a month, only working an hour or two a weekend. Some notes on assembly:
(1) The person who said to put the hardware into cups had the right idea. We had some paper bowls we used, and we marked them with a Sharpie, and that really helped a lot. Because although all of the hardware packs were sealed with their contents intact, the contents had come loose from the backing in a few of the packs and were all mixed together. I would strongly suggest having a ruler handy for measuring the lengths of bolts in case things get mixed up. There are two parts lists, one for the Smith machine part and one for the bench. Those are useful if you are counting washers or something. We had EXACTLY the right amount of items. Nothing missing and not a single extra bit.
(2) The brackets for the chin-up bar look like they are angled at 90 degrees in the manual. They are not. You are probably not missing these pieces, they just have a much larger angle than 90 degrees. At the time you are supposed to install these, there are still a lot of parts left you haven't put on, so it may be difficult to recognize these among all the rest of the items.
(3) When you are putting the plate on the bottom for attaching the chain to do rows, and the back part where there will be multiple pulleys and some weight plates, it helps to put a book (maybe 1/2 inch thick) under the base that's perpendicular to the plate, until such time as you tighten the bolts. Otherwise it does not stay in the right position.
(4) As others have said, the diagrams and instructions for stringing the cables around the pulleys are not so good. We were able to figure it out, but it took at least two assembly sessions and also we had to refer frequently to the exercise chart, which shows some more photos of the assembled machine. There are cable guides that go with the pulleys and they have little plastic washer-shaped parts that are supposed to go in them before you put the bolts through them. The little plastic washers fall out all the time, but they were all there. They will stay in place just fine once the cable guides are attached to the pulleys, it is just tough getting them to stay there beforehand. Also, the cables all have different ends so you don't actually have to measure them to figure out which is which.
(5) An extra note with regards to the cables -- don't tighten any nuts until you are done stringing each cable. Because sometimes there are missing bits in the directions or the order is wrong and you may find you have to remove a part to string a cable or something. You do get two sets of Allen wrenches (one in the bench hardware pack and one in the Smith machine hardware pack) so two people can work on tightening at the same time.
(6) Things it is useful to have during installation that are not provided: at least two adjustable wrenches, a rubber mallet, a tape measure.
If you find you have to move this after it is assembled (even just a foot or two from the wall so you can install the bar), get some of those furniture moving sliders. This is really too heavy and awkward for two adults to lift, but if you lift the far edge up and put a couple of furniture moving sliders under the supports, two adults can easily push it or pull it. Also, please know that unless you have extra wide doors, once you assemble this, it is staying put in whatever room you put it in. It is too wide to maneuver through a standard doorway. If you move, you will have to take it apart and possibly buy a bunch of replacement aircraft nuts, so keep track of the manual.
In terms of operation, everything seems good. If you are short, you may need a stool to change out the handles for pulldowns. If you are short (I am only 5'5"), it is kind of difficult to reach the pull-up bar, too. The machine seems adequate for people from 5'5" to 6'1" (based on the two people who have used it thus far) and who are under 160 pounds. I can't speak as to how it would behave with someone heavier because I don't have anyone else to test it. (My dad is coming to town next month. He's 260+ pounds so I will have him try it out too and update the review with his comments.)
The lower body attachment to the bench wobbles a bit but is better when there are actual weights on it. Everything else seems quite sturdy. (We have not put more than 100 lbs of weights at any one spot other than the storage bars.) If you do a pulldown of any sort without weights on the back part, it probably won't return to position when you let go. Same with the leg attachment on the bench.
Everything moves smoothly. We have not had to use any WD40 yet although we have some on hand if we need it. There's no weird squeaking or vibrating, all the pieces were machined correctly, and all the plastic parts were in good shape. There were a few scratches on various parts of the metal, but this is an aesthetic concern only and didn't affect operation of the device.
Top reviews from other countries
The downside and the only reason I have only given this 3 stars is the leg extension on the bench it has a number of issues
1.The padding for resting your knees on is too high and so makes doing the leg curls really painful
2.the weights bar is really loose and so the weights on the bar bang loudly back and forth (I will have to get it welded in place to make it usable.
3. The leg extension is permanently fixed making it cumbersome to use when not doing leg work
All in all not a bad set up with just one big issue. I don’t regret buying it but will have to make amendments to use it properly
Pure tec that I bought it from in the Uk were very good although they couldn’t help me with the issue they weee very attentive and responded very quickly
