I was skeptical at first, but I am satisfied with this machine for the price tier that it is in. Firstly, my main concern was with the overall sturdiness/safety. This machine does not move about once assembled. While I haven't loaded 10 plates on each side, it comfortably does half that without feeling like a death trap. The safety features work, just be mindful to always have your fingers grasping on to the handles until you've racked the weight. I'm 6'2" and the range of motion is fine for a good pump. The foot plate is small for the leg press, but I don't see a way around that in a machine that has the ability to switch between leg press and hack squats. I am able to do *modified* calf raises while facing the opposite way on the hack squat configuration. This machine is simultaneously the most loved and hated machine in my gym, but in a good way. IYKYK.
