We found two detailed single-product reviews of the BodyCraft Galena home gym, but both discuss the advantages and disadvantages of its features without documenting any testing. The review by personal trainer Bret Spottke is more critical, while the review at Home-Gym-Review.com provides more details about the Galena's features. A handful of owners do review the Galena based on actual use, with ratings and comments at Epinions.com
For a compact two-station home gym, reviews recommend the BodyCraft Galena. All its features are accessible from one side, which allows the machine to fit easily into a corner to save even more space. It comes with an adjustable pectoral deck, a lat pulldown bar, an abdominal crunch station, a leg curl, a low-pulley station and a single 200-pound weight stack. Reviews note that assembly takes a while. Another drawback is that the leg press is an option at extra cost (*est. $300) and also extends the width to 92 inches. However, the Galena is still more compact and less expensive than the top-ranked Hoist V5 (*est. $3,400, including optional leg press).

This review of the BodyCraft Galena by an experienced personal trainer recommends the BodyCraft Xpress instead, criticizing the Galena for devoting a station to a pectoral deck instead of including the more essential leg press. The reviewer does praise the Galena for its self=-aligning leg extension and several other features.
Review: BodyCraft Galena Home Gym Review, Bret Spottke
This enthusiastic review provides plenty of details about the BodyCraft Galena, praising its features and space-saving design. The single weight stack is the only drawback noted, but it's not clear that the review is based on any actual testing.
