It's fine. It is what it is. I had a Bowflex originally and then I upgraded to this. It has a decent weight stack and you can do a variety of exercises. At some point you will max out the stack on some lifts and at that point it may be time to upgrade or change what you are doing. I bought some cable attachments off Amazon to provide a bit more variety, and bought carabiners instead of the default hooks that came with it. It's cheap and affordable. Great for starting out.
