Do you need to buy separate weights for certain exercises? or is everything I need included in the kit?

For beta round you have the option to use weights but a resistance band including on this deluxe kit will do.

Just the bench and the rack. You have to provide all the weight equipment (weights, bars, collars) yourself. The rack is made for a 7ft Olympic bar with Olympic weights, so keep that in mind if you try to get weights and a bar for him. There is Olympic equipment (2 inch) and standard equipment (1 inch). If you look, you can find 7ft standard bars, but just get Olympic gear. Check your local Craigslist for used equipment.

Hi Laurie,You don't have to buy a thing. Nice, right? The set comes with the stretchy resistance bands, which you will need when you do the Strength/Toning DVDS. Hope this helps. It's a great set.~Ramona

This is a standard weight bench for a beginner. I do not believe you can add to this equipment.

The accessory package is not necessarily a "must have" option however I would highly recommend it. It comes with a headrest so you can effectively do bench press exercises. It also includes the leg attachment. You DO have to swap out the head rest for the leg attachment when you want to use those pieces but it is easily done. Hope this helps you!

No, you have to buy it separate. It is a good kit though and I am going to repurchase it soon.

You could use bands but I think the dumbbells are a better workout. 2 sets of two different weights would be a good start and then more later as you get stronger. As far as how heavy?, that's up to your current strength level but starting lighter is smarter as you are required to use them and focus on balance at the same time. I recommend a chin up bar but it does not need to be fancy. I also recommend the medicine balls. I bought an 8# and 10# ball which has its advantages and disadvantages. I have 2 different weights to use with the different exercises but when you have to use them both, the two sizes make it asymmetrical but still workable. I may buy another one of each since 4 balls come in handy for the later workouts. I really enjoy rolling out the muscle groups and think a foam roller is important but it does not need to be expensive. Cheap ones may get flattened after a short while so I wouldn't get too cheap with this item. Hope this helps.

No weights. You gotta have your own weights and if u have olympic weights u gotta buy converters for them. Hope that helps.

You get the bench that you see in the picture, plus the squat rack. This is a great buy, but you will need to buy a weight set. MAKE SURE to get a 7 foot barbell (most "Olympic" set come with 7ft). I have a 6ft, and it definitely does not work when I add weights (defeats the purpose).

You do not have to purchase the bar. The weights do not come with the machine. It is a very nice piece of equipment.

Yes, buy the Body Solid Home Gym Extra Weight Stack as referenced in my review. It adds 50lbs to the included weights, which is plenty of weight for a large user. I suggest just getting it when you order the machine as the included weights are easy to outgrow. I am 200 lbs and pretty fit and with the extra weight pack, I cannot max out the machine. Hope this helps!

Well, about the weights, Im not so sure, cause Im still on the alpha cycle, which doesnt have any excercise with liftsAnd about the mat, I dont think it's so necessary to buy one, obviously is more confortable than the floor :), but if you can buy one, you can use it making t25 or maybe yoga! I do have one And I use it for the abs program And the stretchRegards!

As others have answered, you will need a weight stack, and this machine needs weights with a 1" pilot hole, not the 2" you'll find at most stores.
