We really like this machine. I think it is a good value. The weight stack was larger than the other brands. I have v2 and the v3 is even better as it has more range of motion and gives better stretch at the beginning for leg extension.

We love this machine. It has a very large weight stack and bands can be added. The range of motion and height is great. It was a straight forward assembly. I think the price is great on it. I love that for rows you can use a seat and not have to do it from the floor. It is very nice to have this as a separate piece and not have to use the one on the rack/functional trainer.

We have been overall happy with this piece so far. It was the only one we could find from the normal home gym manufactures we buy from. It has an issue with range of motion where when doing tricep extension it is fine but on bicep curls it can be hard to get a full stretch before the plate stack hits back down. It does have a good weight stack. Also it has a nice shroud over the weight stack that looks nice and provides a cup holder and phone holder etc at top. This feels very solid and it operates very smoothly.

We have been happy with this piece. It has good range of motion however my wife indicated she things there is a bit of play at the beginning of the movement and she would like it to have tension immediately. Also it has a nice shroud over the weight stack that looks nice and provides a cup holder and phone holder etc at top. This feels very solid and it operates very smoothly. This or the temple of gainz would be good options for people but I decided to go with this as I also bought two other machines from ForceUSA.

This is the best smith machine attachment out right now. It is very smooth. I like how it does not need to be on the uprights and can be between the post so does not cause you to lose use of an upright. Also this comes with a bar which for me was an advantage but for others that want to bring your own bar you will want to wait for next version. Another advantage is this can be attached vertical or at an angle.

I really like these for bench. They make it so much nicer to just be able to lift bar straight up. I like them for squat as well however you may find that you can hit them on way back up from a squat but this vary from person to person. I did ding it a little on price as they are pretty expensive.

This is a great bench for the price. Rep makes great benches overall. They have some of the best pads/vinyl. I like this because it is true FID and gave me a decline position and my wife like the included leg rollers. We actually bought two of these to match the color of each rack.
