Multifunctional Home Gym System Workout Station with Leg Extension and Preacher Curl, 122.5LB Weight Stack, Multiple Options, Multiple Packages

I love this M750 Signature Fitness Home Gym! Everything worked (is working) like a charm. While I know some found it “challenging” to assemble, I used the “shortest distance between two points” perspective to put everything together to accomplish the task: The step-by-step assembly video on Amazon’s product page (shown as Fitvids LX750). The video actually served as my guide for 99% (really 100%) of the assembly process. I only looked in the user manual a couple of times to verify rubber/plastic parts not shown during the assembly. The whole process (with minor breaks) took me about 4 to 5 hours to assemble. In the end, the gym came with all its parts, works wonderfully well, and is a cost-effective replacement for the Body-Solid gym I had for about 16 years. Approximate dimensions: 70” inches high (back) weight stack, 78” inches high (front) lat pulldown, 42” inches wide, 62” inches in length (back to front).

We ordered all 9 boxes, but we couldn't finish putting the unit together until all of the boxes came in. By the time the final box came in, the return window had closed for the rest of the boxes (you have to purchase them separately). Once we put it together, we realized it was missing weights. It was also incredibly difficult to put together and the instructions were very unclear. Overall, we're incredibly disappointed in the quality and are unable to return it due to it taking about 9 months for the final box to arrive.

I never need to go to the gym because I have it everything I need here

I was a little concerned from the fair amount of reviews that said theirs came missing parts and nuts and bolts. Maybe the company took the negative reviews to heart. Someone said they didn't like how you had to open up all 5 the boxes before you can start putting it together and another said they didn't like how the instructions where just pictures of where the parts go with no description. Both of those are true. But for me it was no big deal opening all the boxes first, organizing and tossing the packaging and laying out the parts nice and organized. Then I went to the steps in the book. The pictures were so easy to read my kid could have put it together. It only took me 3 1/2 hours to put together alone. All the nuts, bolts and washers were sealed in separate packaging for each step and labeled; Step 1, Step 2, etc.It's really solid with no creaking when using it. The tubing used is really solid and there are all kinds of muscle groups you can work out with it. For the price it's almost all you need. I got a separate elliptical machine for warmups then onto the universal gym. This machine is worth the price, most equipment that does the same thing is twice the price. I'd recommend it.

Just finished final assembly of the 750 full set. I will write an update after a few months using this. Just a couple of observations for those interested: 1.) if you get the full set. 750, it arrives in three separate boxes each weighing near 100 lb or more. The first workout is getting it into your house or garage. I recommend a hand truck or a couple of strong friends 2.) as shown in the images above, the build quality is very good. The welding joints for the metal box beams is full length. All the tubes and box beams are strong and not flimsy. All the parts are powder coated either red or black matte, 3.) Assembly could be a challenge for someone not adept with tools/parts. Think of a giant erector set. You'll have to open up all three boxes to get the parts you need if you follow the pictorial sequence found in the manual. The included nuts and bolts were of medium quality. However, they did provide an extra parts bag in case something was missing on the main sets. Each step is associated with a vacuum packed set of hardware that goes with the pictorial guide. Some tools are included since the bolts use a hex wrench and a 17 mm lock nut on the other end. Use your own 17 mm wrench if you have one, 4.) Assembly is straightforward with only two errors I found in the pictorial guide. I'd say it took me 4 hours total to assemble. The trickiest part of assembly is the routing of the cables and pulley system. They are all interconnected so look at the diagrams carefully and be ready to remove and it reinstall cable pulleys. I made several mistakes along the way with routing and had to redo. Once you see how it works then you get how the pulley system goes together., 5.) The padded seats/ arm rest are of medium quality but they could be replaced if they wear or break. My only concern in the build is the lay the lower cable pole used for rowing or curls. They should have included another pulley at that point (see picture above). Since I'm pretty handy, I'll probably figure a way to add another pulley at that location to facilitate smoother action. Bottom line: I think it's a good buy, saves me from driving way downtown from our rural location. The build quality is good, very good. There are a lot of exercises that can be accomplished even for someone like me... 6'2 280 lbs 64yrs young.

The gym is quite nice and looks very good. However, after assembling the unit we realized that the lower cable was cut and would not allow the unit to work under any load at all. I have called the number multiple times but the message is always the same, "We can't answer the phone now" and "the voice mailbox is full". The information also gives an email for support and I have written several times with no response. I'd like to say that I love the unit but instead I can't even use it. I'm hoping the company will respond to this. If you buy one better hope everything is there and everything is functional.
