Marcy Multifunction Steel Home Gym 150lb Weight Stack Machine

The Good: Easy to put together, great resistance, great instructions for assembly. The Bad: Put aside at least 3.5 hours for assembly (and plan to have to take breaks), the cable is a bit short (though you can get an extender online easily), don't expect the top cable to go past your waist if you are standing. The bottomline - Great, affordable starting/intermediate machine. If you're not a hardcore lifter, the 150 is plenty to work with. I highly recommend it.

Took 7 hours to build, but worth the effort. Good build quality and multifunctional. Could be a little more smooth while operating.

Overall I am happy with the performance of the equipment. Quality is fairly solid and it just looks nice. However, there are a few things to note for anyone interested in buying: - It took me 3 hours to assemble. I didn't mind as I love to build stuff out of the box, but for your average Joe, it may not be as enjoyable. - Length of cables isn't that long. I am 5'7" and I stretched the cable until its hit the equipment. I have to be mindful to not overextend. Anyone over 6' will have even bigger issues. - Attachments that came with equipment aren't the best, will probably need to buy separate ones.

Love this machine, going to get me in shape for the summer, well built. not too hard to assemble, took about 20 mins.

I'm not quite 6' tall and I'm somewhat skinny, and I barely fit on this thing. However, its a decent machine. Needs longer pull distance as you can hit the limit without a complete rep, but it's adequate for a light home gym. Semi-quiet operation and easy to set up if you are patient with the directions. If you're high maintenance, find someone else to do it. I've attached pics as it progressed.

This is an entry level home gym setup. I purchased it on sale to use for specific exercises recommended by my physical therapist. It will certainly meet my needs. I have a lot of experience assembling large and small items. For me the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I also felt the quality of parts fit their application. The unit was packed well, and arrived in perfect condition. As people move to more involved equipment, this model ends up on the resale market a lot. They all look good, showing the durability of the parts. I’m happy with the purchase. My only wish is that Marcy, like other manufacturers, would produce an app that demonstrates the various exercises that can be performed on it. You either need personal guidance from a pro, or have to search the web for options.

So far so good. Sturdy and functions as expected. Fairly easy to assemble.

For something with so many parts and over 25 pages of assembly there is absolutely no excuse for none of the parts to be labeled and for the instructions to have so many errors, ineligible diagrams, and zero written instructions. This was a complete headache. Anyone that does not have extensive assembly experience, I would advise to stay away. I have seen more effort put into temu instructions. As far as the quality of the machine itself, only time will tell.

Was a little skeptical about this machine but it works amazing took some time to put together and 2 people were needed to assemble but its holding up to daily usage
