BodyCraft Xpress Pro Home Gym: Review

This particular machine is not just a replica of what can be found in health clubs. The specifications point exactly to that fact. The frame and construction of the product points out how the same materials used in health club machines are used for this machine as well. The maximum lifting capacity even surpasses that of most machines since the 400 lb benchmark is the highest in the market today. I would like to think that you’ll never outgrow this product.

There are around 120 different exercises that can be done using this machine. This means an extra 10 or more exercises compared to other home gym machines out there. With a bigger dimension as offered by other machines, it also feels more stable and comfortable using the BodyCraft Xpress Pro Home Gym.

Speaking of comfort, this machine comes with the BodyCraft Xpress Cable Arms which make use of pulleys and cables for unrestricted use that make your movements feel completely natural and biochemically correct.  With the cable included with this product, there is no need for cable changes between exercises again.  Talk about convenience!

BodyCraft Galena Pro Home Gym: Review

BodyCraft has prided itself in providing a quality product that is ideal for the budget conscious. If you go through the specs, you will see that a lot of energy has been put into making sure the product can withstand the wear and tear that comes with the territory. BodyCraft is even offering a lifetime warranty for the product which is a great thing considering you might be apprehensive of having to get some parts fixed due to instability and the like.

If you are looking at assembling the product yourself, you might run into a bit of a problem. It took me some time to orient myself with all the available parts before I could start assembling the gym. To be fair, the reason for this is due more to the number of parts available than to instruction manual itself. The directions page could use a little updating but overall it was OK. Make sure that you have someone help you out. This needs two people to complete the task.
Once set up, I saw that the equipment is similar to that available at major health clubs. This basically means that the product is suitable for people from all work out levels. There are over 110 available exercises on the machine that can maintain the intensity level for the beginner, intermediate or advanced user.

When I used the machine, I really felt comfortable. Since I am on the short side, I was glad that BodyCraft Galena Pro Home Gym has an adjustable seat and seat back for smoothness of movements. Im sure it helps that all pivot points rotate on internally lubricated bearings.

BodyCraft Galena Pro Home Gym: Product at a Glance

Pros

• Smoothness of Movements on the Machine

Cons

• Set Up Time
• Some Parts Sold Separately (Leg Press machine)

Overall, this is a solid machine that will is a good choice for everyone looking at having a healthier lifestyle from home.
