I want to purchase one these gyms, max weight for user is 300 lbs Im almost 400 at 6'4 in height am I to tall and big to use this?

I agree regarding the height. My husband is 6'0 and 210, but he says he thinks that the equipment would be fine for a man of your size.

You will be fine on hight as I have had a friend that hight use it. It seems very sturdy and I would guess weight is fine, but I have not had anyone use it over about 325.

I really don't know. Your height should not be a problem. There are many exercises that can be done with our using the seat if that is your concern. Either way, the 2 SE is working very well for me and my family.

The one thing that is stressed in the manual is that u can't be over 300 hundred lds!!!!! Why don't u call Bowflex and ask yourself.

Yvonne, I dont know how this would work in a gym. Cause mine when I bought it, I have not use it until now cause I am using the the one similar to this, which they send me by mistake, by other company. By I think this would be great in any way you wany yo used it. Your product id much bigger than the other one I have and I like it only I have not use them yet but I think they are great like the others.

I weigh 230 lbs and I am 6'2" tall and I ride mine hard and it has never given me any trouble at all. I would say 300 lbs wouldn't hurt it at all judging from my experience with it.

I have a regular client that weighs just over 300lbs and it accommodates him very well. I hope this helps Bob.

I'm 6'7. I didnt have any issues using this rack. I did have to use the 2nd or 3rd highest setting ,since that felt more secure. (i didn't trust the highest setting for heavier weight, but i never tested it either) Either way, I never had an issue with this rack at my height. I did sell it for a full cage I bought on this site however.

I can't answer this yet because my weights don't fit on the machine. I have to get weights that have a larger center hole to fit onto the bars. But the machine does seem pretty sturdy and the action is very smooth. One thing is that the space where you put your foot is very large.

Oh no. I use it, my kids use it and their dad uses it. Under the istructions it advises you to only use it so much without the advice of a trainer bit that's it. Also I am 5'10 and 195 it is still solid for me. I even got a 2nd one for my mother in law. Maybe they had bad luck and got a defective one...

No, it would not work well with a person who weights more than 300 lbs. I'm pretty small (about 125 lbs) and it works fairly well for me, but I would get something thicker in this case.

I'm 6ft, it's not fun to move, but manageable. I imagine it doesn't matter how tall you are. It might even be easier for a shorter person. It's pretty heavy and yes the support stand is what is the problem area when trying to move it. Nevertheless, I wouldn't consider this a reason to not buy this machine or to buy a competitor. This is a good machine and it's worth working through the minor movement hurdles.

I would definitely say 'yes'. I really like mine and I bought one for my son for Christmas. A friend told me about it and he is also a tall person, maybe close to 200 lbs. Good luck and enjoy!

I am 6'3, 200lb. and it works just fine. There are better machines out there but not at this price.

The gym is more than 6' tall .... But if you have the headroom it is a wonderful machine !

I would not recommend this set to anybody...but I don't think your size would be an issue. I am 6'3" and 210 pounds and all was well as far as size is concerned. It is an inexpensive machine...and I ended up not liking it and selling it for 50 bucks. Spend more and enjoy your workout!

For his height it will work fine, a friend of mine who is 6'1 has had no troubles with it, however, if he plans on lifting much heavier than 300ish pounds I wouldn't suggest it as it starts to become unstable.

Do not have manual available to confirm but I am 6' 200 lbs and no problem. It is very well made and I would guess it can easily handle someone 300+ lbs.

I'm really sorry but I do not think so. I'm 5"4 and around 205lbs myself -even though I really do like this machine- I do have concerns myself that it shakes a bit and I worry that I am too big even though I weigh less than the max. Your money would be better spent on a machine designed to support your body-unless you lose 15 lbs before ordering it. I know that sounds awful for me to say and I do not wish to hurt your feelings or offend you-I just don't want you to invest in something that might break on you or not work well for your body type. Best of luck, whatever you do decide.

I am 6' 00", 200 pounds and EXCEPT for the wider than normal space between the seat & back ... you should be fine. I have been using a folded towel which I have put in the space as needed ... not great, but comfortable enough .... a piece of foam would be better. The other negative for me are the "rollers" on the leg extension arms ... they don't roll well. If I didn't have to have a "space saver" type bench I wouldn't buy this one as it is not as sturdy as a one piece bench. I do miss my old Marcy. Use it in great health!
