With the Star Trac Functional Trainer you will get scared at first with the price tag, but once you get over the initial fright you will find a great home gym. Its vertical towers are adjustable and can offer a wide range of exercises for upper body, plus all kinds of exercise types.

One drawback is that the bench isn’t included, so that has to be added to the price that is already a bit high. But, once again, if you try this home gym you will be looking beyond the price and discovering new benefits as you go along.
