Do weights/plates come with the gym or do I need to buy them separately before I can start exercising? What are overal dimentions(WxL) with the bench?

No weights are included but you should have no problem locating a set. I found a used set online for cheap. The bench is approximately 28"w x 60" l. Overall dimensions vary depending on how you have the bench setup. You will probably want to give yourself a minimum of 12' x 10'.

Natasha, you will need to purchase plates separately as they do not come with this piece. Dimensions are as follows: 83"W x 107"L x 126"HHope that helps! Bob L

Yes you will need to purchase weights. Dimensions are available on the manufacturers website.

The leg developer will be using the 2" Olympic sized plates. This bench does not come with a bar so that would depend on the user and which bar they purchase.Thank you.

Your second question, whether these would be "better than a real gym" depends entirely on your personal habits and goals. If it becomes a hassle for you to get to the gym regularly for any reason whatsoever (time, distance, weather, condition of the gym, its equipment, its people, etc.), then eventually you won't do it or you'll not do it often enough to build up your body. That would argue for the convenience of having PowerBlocks at home where they're always convenient. Other factors are how private or social you are, whether you also want access to a gym's other equipment, and whether seeing others light years advanced from you is intimidating or inspiring. I think you give a strong hint in your first sentence, "I'd love to be able to work out at home". Listen to yourself. Regarding outgrowing them, if you're new to this and are slim, I think you'll have a very long way to go before you "need" to use anywhere near 50 lbs. per dumbbell. That's a whole lot of weight when you're doing multiple sets of medium to high reps of almost any exercise. The way to find out, of course, is to give a gym a for-free trial and see what kind of weight you need to exhaust a muscle after one set of 8 to 10 reps. Then determine how much weight you'll be handling to do 2 sets in a month or so and then 3 sets a half year from now. You'll grow, but not into a muscle freak who needs to bench 300 lbs. Anyway, if you do need more than 50 lbs. someday, sell the 50 lb. set and get the 90 lb. set. My guess is you'll never need to do that.

Resistance bands and weights. I only have 5lb dumbbells available to me right now, so that's what I'm using until I get paid. Then I'm going to bump it up and buy a heavier set. She makes reference to using up to 20 lbs though, but only for certain exercises.

There is no rack for free weights. I use it for dumbbell bench press all the time, but if you want to use bar weights, you will either need to find a standalone rack or find a bench with one attached.

the product for sale is the bench only. You have to purchase the weight and a barbell separately

I have had two other olympic weight benches and this one by far is the best one I have had. The thing I like the best is that the squat rack and bench are not connected. So its not bulky nor does it take a lot of room in my garage. The dimensions for the squat rack is L 32 x w 48 x H 64 And for the bench is L 72 x w 26 x H 22

9.5 inches wide and 30.5 inches long. If it were any wider I couldn't do fly type exercises. I do a lot with this bench, it was a good buy.

This bench did not come with the weight bar. I had to buy weights and a bar separately.

No, weights are not included. We had to purchase them separately. This is a great setup. My husband just got back from overseas and uses it everyday. Worth the money!

the trays do come with the weights but the stand costs extra. When you set which weight you want the additional weights remain in the trays.

The gym comes in several boxes. The weights are in two boxes. The main box probably could be moved between levels by two people, but we took the pieces out of the box in the garage and moved them in to the room we use it in. We really like the gym. It is very quick and easy to change the weight and positions to do different exercises.

I'm not sure about that. But, the weight plates wi fit most barbells. You can just go to a sporting goods store and get more plates or a barbell

Frank,I purchased it and it does not include the 200 pound weight stack. It has a bar you can place plate weights on, however not Olympic plates. I had to purchase a conversion bar to accommodate my Olympic plates.

The gym's dimensions are 66 inches long by 50 wide and 84 high. It's fairly compact and during your exercises nothing extends beyond those dimensions other than your body. The front plate extension you can see in the picture is used for standing on during curls and rowing exercises so you don't really need much body space.
