Great Value for Home Gym.

These are a great deal. My friends who frequent a gym using Rogue plates could not believe the price I paid for these.  Although after a year and heavy use the 10lb plates are loosening in the center, which is expected with the beating they get. I would not hesitate to buy these again.

Nice value for money compared to the local fitness stores.

I bought one for my home gym and loved it so much that I bought 2 more for my fitness studio.  My clients use them daily and that are still like brand new.  They are very heavy duty and ride just like a $1000 model.  Very impressed!

While trying to find my old dumbbells, which were apparently lost or given away the last time I moved, I did a lot of comparison shopping.  These light weights are by far the best value I've found.  If the weights (2 each of 2, 3, and 5 lbs.) are appropriate for your needs, I'd recommend that you go with this set.

There have been complaints from some reviewers that the weights are a little off and not entirely consistent.  I haven't weighed mine, but if they are off by a smidgen, I'm not upset by that.  There is no right hand/ left hand weight so all will get used more or less equally by each hand.

I use all three different sizes in my workouts.  The stronger muscles or when I am fresh call for the 5 pound weights.  Weaker muscles, when I am tired at the end of workout, or just feeling like a wimp, calls for the lighter ones.

I like the bright, fresh colors.  The coating seems sturdy and is slightly rough so the weights don't get slippery when I get sweaty, er...I mean glowing.  The hexagonal ends mean no rolling on the floor.  I didn't find any flaws in the coating.

The 2-lb weight is shorter than the 3-lb., and the 3-lb is very slightly shorter than the 5-lb.  My hands are relatively small and these lengths work fine for me, so I asked my large-handed husband if the 2-lb weights were too narrow for him to use comfortably.  He didn't have a problem with the width.  Most big guys won't be using the smallest weights much anyway.

The stand is plastic and goes together with 5 rods, 10 screws, and your own philips head screwdriver.  It was quick and easy to put together, even for my hand-tool challenged self.  Although it is plastic, it is pretty sturdy and should last a long time as long as it isn't abused.  Before I begin my workouts, I take the weights out of the stand so I can very quickly get to the size I want as the exercises change.  I really like the stand for storing the weights though.

I will eventually get an 8- or 10-lb weight, but this set fits my needs for now.

My product arrived totally obliterated with pieces falling out of the box in shipping. Sending it back was sort of a huge hassle but Titan Fitness was really helpful in the whole process and sent a replacement immediately. This rack is probably not the best in the world, but is way better than some of the old clunky ones at gyms i've been to. Very good value and perfect for home gyms. Love this thing.

This is a great addition to any home gym.  The assembly went smoothly.  The tower is built more for a man's frame - a little wider than my wife would like. However we've both been using it since the day it arrived!

After using the Weider Total Bodyworks 5000 for nearly a year, I'm quite satisfied with it. I figure compared to a gym membership, it has paid for itself already. It takes some studying the chart, checking Total Gym tips on the web, and a little creativity to develop a couple of sets of exercises, which I do on alternate days. There are more upper body possibilities, but when reclining on your back to do arm work, it's easy to add leg raises to strengthen your stomach at the same time. I've found two structural weaknesses: First, the foam-covered plastic tube on one of the handgrips cracked from doing side pulls. By cutting the stitching apart, replacing the cracked tube with heavier PVC pipe, and having a shoe repair shop stitch the pull back together, the grips are now better than original. The second issue was that there is no stop to prevent the rolling platform from bumping into the pully if you're not paying attention. Bumping the edge of the pulley cuts the vinyl covering on the platform. Duct tape isn't elegant, but seals the little cut. Other than those two things, I've been very satisfied with the equipment. As others note, replacement parts may be too expensive, but compared to the cost of the gym membership, the gas to get there and the time involved--as compared to the convenience of working out at home--I think the 5000 offers a terrific value. Those who want to pay a few bucks and expect something to pass down to their kids are missing the point.

I purchased this for my small fitness studio and I am very pleased with the cost to value. I researched many commercial and light commercial pull-up bars and this was the only one that offered an affordable price with a 500 Lb capacity!

Good product. Not the kind you find in a fitness center, but it is quite suitable for home use. Holds our 5# dumbbells up to 30# dumbbells with no problems.

These are perfect for a home gym. These are the smaller ones offered and they still have lots of space for plates. Got some 25's for mine and they feel great.

Ordered on late Sunday afternoon, recieved at my door the following Tuesday morning (less than 48 hours later!!).  Well packed and complete, the equipment was easy to put together, with complete parts and good instructions.  This is a solid, heavy duty piece of equipment.  I weigh 275 pounds and chose this because it was rated at 700 pound capacity, which I don't doubt because it very easy handles my weight.  I would highly recommend this for home, or commercial gym.

I've had unspectacular experiences with home fitness equipment in the past -- you get what you pay for -- so I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Stamina Deluxe Conversion II Recumbent/Rower.  It is a very well constructed machine, and the ergonomics and overall experience are excellent.  Though it's not an inconsequential financial investment, I feel that it is a good value for the money, and it compares favorably to more expensive professional gym equipment.

Having two machines in one -- a recumbent bike and a rower -- is a big reason why this machine is such a good value.  Both of these functions are executed very well.  The motions are smooth for each exercise, and the range of resistance options is perfect, from very easy to challenging (8 levels in all).  The digital display is basic but useful, showing you elapsed time, distance, calories, and heart rate.  The display is large and easy to read.

The unit also allows you to perform basic resistance exercises for arms and legs, such as biceps curls and leg extensions.  While these exercises may not be challenging for some even at maximum resistance, this may be a value-added option for many users, especially those just getting started in fitness.

Assembly should be relatively easy for those who have assembled fitness equipment or furniture in the past.  I'd say it took about 90 minutes between unpacking, assembly, and clean up.  None of the assembly steps were particularly complicated.  All of the tools that you need are included, though you may find it easier to use your own tools.  As with any assembly like this, be sure to keep all of your loose parts like nuts and bolts in one place.  Note that some of the nuts and bolts are implied by the instruction manual to be contained in the loose parts kit, but they are actually already fastened onto certain parts of the machine.

The only problem that I had was that the first unit that was sent to me was damaged in shipping.  It was a bit annoying to have to repack it and stay home from work again to receive a replacement unit.  But on the bright side, I didn't have to deal with lugging it back to a store and driving home a new unit.  The unit could have perhaps been packed with more protective styrofoam, but maybe it was an issue with the way that it was handled in shipping.  There was also a loose nut or bolt floating around the box in both of the units that I received, so look out for that, as you'll likely need it.

The initial hiccup aside, my wife and I are very happy with the unit, and we strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile, effective home fitness option.  Feel free to reply with any questions, and I'll do my best to answer.

I have never bought a Bowflex product before, and I was surprised at how well-built this bench is. It's heavy and feels very sturdy. Definitely more like pro gear than your average home gym bench. The price matches the quality.

Minor con: The wheels should jut out about two inches more. When rolling along a soft gym mat, the pointed feet tend to get caught on the mat.

I am so glad I bought this! Put it together in about 30 minutes and it's very solid! I'm 6'1" and the pull up height is perfect for my reach! I got the lay pull down and dip bars as well. Perfect set-up for a home gym!

Great value, quality construction, family business. It's been years since I've worked out. Before spending on a gym membership, decided to get a couple home workout pieces. This about roller works. Seeing results after a week. 5' 9" 200lbs. It's durable and inexpensive. A couple sets in the morning, a couple at night. Buy this.

I have been using this set of adjustable weights consistently for 2 months now and have been very happy with my purchase.

Pro- I love how compact 5-25 lbs of weights can be because space is limited in my home gym. Quickly and easily adjusts in increments of 2.5lbs.

Cons- The plates do have a tendency to clang when using them and while the majority of the time they are a fast easy adjust there were times I had a bit of trouble lining them up correctly when adjusting which can just take a couple seconds to resolve.

Overall I'm very happy with this set for the ease of use and especially the price. I did only rate it 4 stars because of the occasional clanging of the plates but I think It's still a great value while being compact, affordable and easy to use.
