CAP Strength 45-Degree Hyperextension Machine / Roman Chair

This is great for short people! I'm 5 foot 1 inch tall and can easily hinge at my hips over this pad unlike some commercial gym hyper extension machines. The hip pad could be more comfortable but it's not terrible, it's okay to me because it's for exercise after all. Took me about one hour to put together, relatively straightforward instructions with pictures. I'd say it's pretty sturdy if you tighten everything completely. Mine doesn't rock side to side like another review mentioned. Came with everything except you need a screw driver

Was a great addition to my home gym and at a great price. The equipment was solid and easy to assemble

I love this piece of equipment. It has helped my overall fitness so much and is super easy to put together. Extremely durable and comparable to something you would find in a commercial gym.

Great product, great price, thanks Walmart!!!

Good price for a sturdy hyperextension bench. Just don't weigh over 300.

Exactly what we were looking for.

I really wanted to like this machine, but it just was not comfortable to use. I could not get the adjustments correct for the hyperextension or oblique ab exercise, and because I could get the heights right, I felt like I was causing more harm than good. I also do not feel that the cushion was supportive enough. I returned this.

A poor welding job on the base of the machine made it impossible to properly assemble. A large piece of metal melted into the hole where the adjusting pin screws into the base. As a result, the thigh bar would not slide into the base. I don't have a metal file or chisel, but I spent about 20 minutes using a heavy-duty screwdriver and hammer trying to break off the piece of metal inside the base, but I couldn't get a good enough strike to break it off because it was too far inside the tube. The machine was almost completely assembled by the time I recognized the defect and would have been too much trouble to repack and return, so I just hammered the thigh bar into the base with a rubber mallet. Now, there is no way to adjust the height of the bench because it is jammed in so tight, but at least it is usable at the current height. I cannot recommend this product based on my experience.

The quality of the material seems really solid. However , the unit I received has a malformation preventing the assembly from being able to complete. The welding job on one of the pieces was shotty and prevented one of the bars from inserting.

Clearly received an item that had been returned - especially frustrating considering there were missing pieces and I couldn't complete assembly or use the machine…
