Fitvids LX760 Multifunctional Full Home Gym System Workout Station with 122.5 lbs Weight Stack, One Station with Leg Training Pedal

***Read this review FIRST*** Install time - 3hours 20 mins Difficulty - 5/10 Overall very happy with the machine. I was hesitant to buy because of the reviews, but the quality is great. The welds all seem fine especially for the price. Install was not as difficult as people let on, its slightly more difficult than ikea furniture but if you've ever used a ratchet or wrench you'll be fine. I think most people complain because it looks overwhelming when its really not. That being said here are some tips to alleviate headaches: -BEFORE you open any boxes, make sure all 5 boxes arrived. The mobile fedex tracker might say delivered, but if you go on a desktop it will show tracking for all 5 boxes. Fedex is notorious for losing stuff. All my boxes came from the same place, but somehow one box was delays by two days. -Have an adjustable wrench, AND a 17mm socket/ratchet ready. It will simplify your life immensely. - The instructions look messy, but if you have common sense its not rocket science, there's also a video on youtube for install. Start from the rear of each picture, move to the front on each step. I only had to use the video for one portion, the rest seem straightforward. They also have each set of 5ish screws per step individually packed and labeled, so you just open one at a time. -The wires look difficult but theyre not. On Wire %231 you leave it hanging on the last pulley %235 (it uses the bracket to connect to wire 3) this is extremely confusing because the video and the instructions just skip over it, do not worry, it will connect later. Same goes with wire %232, leave it hanging until later. -The weights are gross, they're plastic but not washed, so be aware your hands will turn black from plastic residue. Quality is pretty good for arguably the most inexpensive home gym out there. I'm 5'11 and have zero issues mentioned in other reviews regarding height. That being said, I would NOT recommend it for anyone 6' or over. If you're 6' to 6'1 you MIGHT fit, but longer arms and longer legs will make getting the right form and full pull on each exercise slightly difficult. Any taller and it's a no-go, this is so subjective though because a 6'' person will fit, but it really depends on their arm and leg length too, lots of factors. Time will tell if it holds up, but I honestly believe most issues stem from either Fedex losing or damaging packages, and people over 6' buying a machine under $300... For reference less than 17% of Americans are 6' or taller, so they're not making this for taller people. Also some pieces did come with scratched paint, super minor scratches, but expected at this price range.

For a simple, beginner ready workout machine, it's great! But if you intend to go heavier, a machine with more weight might be better. Now, assembly took both me and my son three hours to complete! But, amazingly the cables work smoothly and seamlessly!
