Yes it is expensive. However it is commercial quality. The build of this thing is insane. It does not move even a little bit when we are on it. You get 3 good movements out of it in my opinion but you can do more. I think GHR and back extensions and reverse hypers are the main movements you will use this for. We tried this one and the freak athlete apex and felt this was better deal and better quality(shipping is included). This was mainly a purchase by my wife to replace her freak athlete hyper pro. It was pretty tough to get into basement as it weighs about 350 pounds so beware. I updated value to 5 stars because my wife said she thinks price for the quality etc makes it a good value.
