Marcy Home Gym 100 lbs Stack Weight Stack MKM-81030

To start the box will fit into the back seat of a 4 door car and probably the trunk as well but it weighs around 200-225 pounds so it’s difficult to move around. The dimensions of the box are 42x23x12 so it’s surprisingly small for what you’re getting. Set up was actually pretty straightforward took me a 55yr old disabled guy about 2.5 hours to complete and included lunch, a few smoke breaks, a conversation with the wife about how I was doing it wrong and a call about my cars warranty being expired. One thing to note, all of the hardware is in nice little packages designed to be opened as you go, this really helped in the setup because you don’t have to dig through bags of mixed bolts. I also highly recommend either drinking or smoking to the point of inebriation if you wish to understand the blown up sections in the manual otherwise they won’t make sense. Setup would have been faster but due to my disability I can’t kneel so I built the frame vertically using duct tape and wood clamps as extra hands. I do recommend using the assembly video on YouTube just search Marcy 100 pound stack and it pops up. This helped a lot with the cable and pulley system. Mine also came with an optional pinky toe breaker that I had to pound out with a 3lb sledge took a few whacks I included pictures. This thing is overall very compact, about the size of a computer desk and fits into a standard room height wise. I’m 5’ 11” 233 pounds and have no issues getting in and out of it even with my disability and range of motion hasn’t been an issue at all. It’s a little noisy but that’s to be expected when clanging plates together. Overall build quality is pretty good for what you are paying for, the included lat and straight bars are bare bones and probably will be replaced with ones that rotate but accessories are very affordable for these things. My overall opinion so far is positive with the exception of the toe breaker which should have been caught in QA, this was the one star deduction because it could be a problem for people that may not have a way of bending that thing back down. Only time will tell about durability but I’m only using it to maintain my fitness not bulk out so it should outlive me.

The machine turned out to be everything I expected and more! I paid for assembly as with a machine as serious as this I did not want to make any mistakes. Assembly was quite expensive but absolutely essential - it would have taken me hours. Worth every penny. Time will tell regarding quality and reliability but looking good.

The weight set itself is fine. the issue is absolutely. Nothing is marked on any of the parts and there's no directions which was a nightmare. I had to pay $100 shipping for the seat back and front damage.Due to the box being completely smashed and clearly open on the bottom, a corner. For a $100 shipping it should not have come damaged.

I was pleasantly surprised. Purchased this for my husband for Christmas. If you have a mechanically inclined brain, you will have no trouble getting the machine put together. Took my husband about 4-5 hours to assemble on his own. He said the pulley system was a little complicated but he was able to figure it out. He also had help from a YouTube video. Funny- I started using it more than him.

Has most of what you need. Good for beginners, but it is sturdy and has a lot of weights for strong men. The metal wont bend and the thing won't fall apart easily. Great product, and it is at a very reasonable price. Walmart had in stock. Otherwise it is $100 extra for shipping, so great deal. Be careful with assembling. Have to use your brain to figure out the drawings, because there are no printed instructions. Hint: Start with the first cable from the front and work to the back. Also, the pulldown bar is the widest part. It is removable, but is a very important part of this gym.

The assembly took forever because the manual had no instructions, just visuals. It was easy to follow until page 14 , where the entire page was filled with components everywhere. Their online video assembly lacked both spoken words and text, making it unclear which specific bolts or nuts were used, or how exactly to assemble them, which caused me to have to undo and rebuild repeatedly. Once assembled, it's quite easy to use. It's also pretty extensive in what you can do for the price. It is a bit wobbly and shaky, though. The customer service is horrible, though. One of the cables and rods was damaged / loose, and I needed to be sent a replacement. I called CS, they told me to text them pictures of the items, and then ghosted me. I had to call the next day again to get an update, to which they told me the two items would start shipping and I'd receive them in 7-10 days. I asked for a tracking number, and they said one would be made when it was shipped. Three business days had passed, so I called them again, and it turns out, it hadn't been shipped at all!! One of the items was out of stock and was on the back burner, so I would have to wait 6-8 weeks for that to come in!!! None of which I was told until I asked for it. Awesome service

I love the weight machine!! the best part is there's no weight overhead that you can get hurt by. that is the only reason I bought this. and then after working out on it. it is great. the only negative part is there is no adjustments for different size people. I do one exercise that is pretty tight in my chest area to do it properly. I will say that the instructions for assembly is not great. but after a little bit anyway can figure it out. I'm talking about the pulley system. just a couple of negative things and a whole lot of positive things about this weight machine. I would definitely recommend it!!

Assembly took a few hours, but all of the pieces were included in the box and the instructions were manageable. I picked this up in-store, and the box fit easily in the trunk of my SUV, which was a nice plus. This is solid equipment for a beginner home gym, especially for the price. It feels sturdy and offers a good variety of exercises without taking up too much space. One small downside is that one side of the toe kick was slightly bent, but it's not a show stopper and hasn't affected functionality so far. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase and think it's a great value for anyone looking to start a home gym without spending a lot.

I thought this home gym had potential… however it's missing the plate that you need to do curls and use to balance yourself when doing leg work. And I don't mean missing from the box… it shows the plate in the directions on hour to use the machine's and when I contacted Marcy they told me the machine no longer comes with the plate. I asked if I could buy it and they said no, they don't sell it. So the machine can only really do half of what I thought it could. So half of a waste on money. P.S. the Angie assembly service was TERRIBLE.

I've seen the other reviews and yet I still purchase it I should have given 4 star for the assembly like the other people said the instructions is not helpful, you need a lot of patience and just fyi before you install the pulleys you have to install the cables first and don't make everything tight assembled everything then double check and make it tighter. So far I've been using it and it's been good, no issues
