It is quiet and smooth and uses good quality materials; it is an investment that will last for years. It was designed to be comfortable and ergonomically feels right; it is like fitting your body in a glove. One drawback may be the fact that since it is compact it may not be suitable for large men that may find the gym a bit tight to exercise freely.

It is great that it does not use any power bands, the feeling is great with the free weights, and most weight lifters really do enjoy that old school feeling of free weights as they exercise.

It has an option to buy the leg press attachment that can work three muscle groups, quadriceps, hamstrings and glutes. It does not require a separate station; it can be attached to the front of the leg developer with an extra pulley.

It is reasonably priced and will not disappoint any user that wants to take strength exercises seriously. It is easy to assemble and compact, which may be a problem for bigger users. Even so, it is a great buy and one that will stay with you for a long time.
