Marcy Smith Machine Cage Multi Purpose Home Gym Training System, Red

We absolutely love this equipment! It has so many options for exercise you do not have to be repetitious unless you want to be. Sturdy, well made- we are thrilled to have it. The one exercise we wish it had was a leg press option.

I've had the SM-4033 for a year, using 5 days a week since purchase. I love it. The unit is solid and works like new today after a year of heavy use just as it did on day 1. It can do everything I need with a few acceptations that can be purchased as accessories. I purchased a Bolt Fitness BLAZE LEG EXTENSION/LEG CURL ATTACHMENT for the bench, fits perfectly. I also added grab handles for doing both leg curls and leg extensions to the bench. Added multi grip handle attachment kit and RDX hanging ab straps to hang from the pullup bar. Other than that it's been everything I expected it to be.

I've owned the Marcy Home gym and it's been awesome no complaints. A great invest for body and soul.

Took some time to assemble. Bench is to tall for someone 5'9". Overall works well.

This product was exactly what we expected!! It's amazing!!

I love this piece of equipment, you can do EVERYTHING. I will never need another gym membership again. Although it is rather large if you do not have enough space. It was very easy to put together, besides there was one part with the silver bars I questioned which it was talking about but the heavier one goes behind the red front piece as I assumed. Other than that the pulley system is slick and glides nice as well does the assisted squat. This is all you'll ever need and I am very impressed and happy with my purchase. Only negative I would have to say is I wish the bench came with a leg extension.

I highly recommend getting the SM-4033. While this is not a high-end machine it has many features that will meet the needs of the average, to above-average athlete. The price is a good deal, it is well designed, made of good materials, and went together very well. At the end you will have a solid piece of equipment that you will want to work out on. A couple pieces of advice: 1) Take your time lining up the bolts and nuts; they will cross thread if you rush. Also, have someone to help hold things as you assemble. 2) Use a socket wrench, things will go together more quickly. 3) Don't tighten anything until the end, especially the pulleys. More experienced assemblers won't have any problems, but I had to re-feed the pulley cables through more than once because I rushed. 4) Don't tighten the vertical slide poles (you'll know what I mean when you see them). Just tighten the screws enough to keep the poles in place. The sliding mechanisms need a bit of flexibility in the poles. Once you have it right, the slides function perfectly. 5) The longest cable might twist a bit when you first start using it. I had to manually lift the weight holder in the back and work the twist out through to the ends of the cable. The twisting went away after about 3 "untwisting" sessions. I think there is some residual twist set in the cables during manufacturing that comes out when you start using them with significant weight on the ends. If given a the chance, I would buy this machine again.

The machine itself seems great! We are in the process of building it, however, building it is an obstacle all on its own. Parts are in 5 different boxes and scattered throughout. There are thousands of parts, including the nuts and bolts, which are actually packaged and labeled, but hard parts you have to dig for in separate boxes. Would be awesome if on the instruction sheet, these parts were labeled as to which box they are in.

I am on my third long cable. It is fine for a while then it starts to twist. I also have one place that has frayed on all three cables. I think you need to re-design the weight trolley to have two, one for each side. Very frustrated and disappointed. I have photos but, don't see a way to attach them.

I have not been able to use my Smith machine yo its full capacity and am not very happy at all. Something needs to be done or else I need to return this. The cable system (retention) sucks and it only appears a quarter functional if you put a ton of weight on it but then you are unable to lift anything I have now seen this as a common issue after researching on youtube.
