Weider Max Ultra

I'm trying to decide on which gym to purchase. Seems to be between this one and the Bowflex PR1000. Price is a big plus with this machine in the above reviews, but when i think about it, the Bowflex is… $599 with free shippine, the Weider is $419 plus $125 shipping totaling $544. I think for another $55 I'll go with the Bowflex. Everything else i read the Bowlfex is better quality. Thoughts?

The Weider Max Ultra is perfect for my needs. Delivered to the home the box was not in great shape and some bolts were loosely rumbling around inside the box but after all put together I was missing one… bolt. I'm sure if I called the company though they would've sent me a replacement. After unpacking it was a little overwhelming. Lots of pieces. The bolts and small pieces came in egg carton material but all the small pieces were organized in little pockets and there were parts inventory sheets. I'm a 50 year old woman who has a hard time putting barbecue grills and bikes together without a little bit of terrible language and I ended up putting this thing together all by myself with no problems. Yes it took a few hours but I took my time and had absolutely no problems whatsoever. This machine is a wonderful resistance machine. Without purchasing an expensive weight system this gym does the trick for me. You can get a good workout with it. I can tell you I'll be using this for years to come. Very happy I have this. The one thing I would recommend to do is to get the serial number off of the seat before you install it and write the number on your handbook for future reference. Mine was all installed and reading the handbook on warranty etc.... it said that if you ever call for service you would need the serial number which is on the bottom of the seat. Mine is already installed. Have fun its great.

This home gym system was a great deal through Amazon... found it at least $100 more everywhere else I looked for it... and free shipping is just icing on the cake! The system is reasonable to put together;… works out best if you have one person reading the instructions while the other puts together. The weight resistance is good (though I wonder if it can be added to later.. .not sure), but the rower part seems to need something more. Otherwise, it's a great starter unit that is suitable for fat burning and tone. If you are looking to build bulk, you may want to go bigger/more weight.
