"The price was right and delivery happened as informed. Unpacked and took approx 6 hours to put together. A lot of time was spent trying to work out the pulley system, as the instructions were not as clear as I would have liked. On testing and using the Multi-gym, I have been very disappointed. When attempting pull downs with overhead bar, the weight stack reaches it's maximum height before you are able to complete the exercise movements correctly. To do tricep push downs, you need to stand on the bench to fully carryout the exercise. Pulldown lats to front are again difficult and to the rear near on impossible. In effect, the pulldown bar is nearly redundant. To use the Bench press properly, you need to raise your back on something such as a sponge to be able to push the bar up without injuring your shoulders. Lat pulls at the far end with half the stack or more make the bench flinch badly. Arm curls over the incline pad area is again unworkable, as the weight stack hits its maximum height as you curl only half way towards the body. The simple remedy to this would have been to make the two silver bars that the weight stack travels up and down on about 30cm or more higher. Overall, Argos I can't fault, but I am very disappointed with this equipment - it should have been tested better to ensure this design fault was removed before production. Considering sending it back!"

"+ very sturdy product
+ good build quality
+ easy to build, if you take it slowly (4 hours in my case)
+ good variety of exercises
- the only downside is that it is a little bit ugly, you can't hide it at all and all the cables are showing and it looks bulky
I still rate it 5 stars as I am extremely happy and it is installed out of sight of anyone visiting the house."

"Service from argos was spot on, delivered when they said they would. As for the equipment...debatable at the moment. The instructions on putting it together are not exactly the easiest in the world to understand and though we ordered this 2 weeks ago we still have not managed to put it together. Had to call York for missing parts as well...which hasn't helped."
