by Paul Rogers
by Paul Rogers
Our AssessmentPaul Rogers, the weight-training guide at About.com, recommends seven home gyms in this brief article.

Best Home Gyms of 2012
by "Wes"
by "Wes"
Our AssessmentThe author behind TheHomeGymCritic.com admits that he has no special qualifications beyond his own love of fitness, but at least he's upfront about his background. We're normally skeptical about anonymous review sites such as these because they are designed to steer readers toward certain online retailers. However, TheHomeGymCritic.com has better reviews than most, and user reviews are included as well.
Best Home Gyms for 2011
by Bret Spottke
by Bret Spottke
Our AssessmentThis site contains reviews of all kinds of fitness equipment, including home gyms, written by Bret Spottke, a personal trainer with more than 20 years of fitness experience. Spottke provides his top picks in a variety of categories, although only two could be considered true home gyms. Recommendations include Body-Solid and BodyCraft gyms. While the site doesn't claim to be totally objective and no side-by-side tests are conducted, reviews are more detailed and up to date than those on some other websites.
Home Fitness Systems

by Matt Griffin
Our AssessmentAskMen.com, a men's interest site, reviews one home gym in this article on the best home fitness systems. Matt Griffin recommends the Hoist Half Cage Ensemble because of its versatility -- users can perform many different types of workouts using the machine. It's also easy to change resistance.

5 Best Home Gym Machines
by Aric Mitchell
by Aric Mitchell
Our AssessmentMadeMan.com, a men's interest website, reviews five home gyms. Each gets a brief evaluation, but there are no ratings and it doesn't appear that the gyms have been personally tested. Units from Body-Solid, Powertec and BodyCraft all score a recommendation. However, two of the recommended gyms have already been discontinued.
Home Gym Equipment
by Murray G. Hughes
by Murray G. Hughes
Our AssessmentHome-Gym-Review.com has relatively detailed reviews of home gyms, but the site seems geared toward steering visitors to purchase certain products. Reviews are written by so-called "industry experts and professionals specializing in home-gym reviews," but we don't know exactly who they are. The reviews list features and specs, and most have a good mix of pros and cons. The Body-Solid EXM1500S is picked as the best home gym under $1,000.
Home Gym

by Contributors to Epinions.com
Our AssessmentOf the 500 home gyms listed on Epinions.com, very few are actually reviewed. Two Bowflex machines, the Ultimate 2 and Revolution, get good feedback from consumers, but most other home gyms attract only a review or two.
