Body-Solid Powerline BSG10X Home Gym Reviews

I was very impressed with how easy it was to get started with this little home gym set. The price made me think that it would be a second-rate product and I have to admit I was a little skeptical that such a small set could be useful for me, especially since I was planning on using this as a replacement to going to the gym. It is safe to say you can work out pretty much every muscle group on the cheap with this machine: I use the lat pulldown and bench press every day, for example, which are both exercise that are possible but more cumbersome with free weights. The seat feels a little cheap and the machine won’t win any awards in the looks department, so be aware of that. The gym set takes up very little space and fits in a 4 by 6 area, so you should have plenty of space for it in your house or your garage. The only thing I really dislike about this machine is that some of the resistance feels a little bit less than evenly distributed, with a shaky initial effort. I think this is more the case with home gym sets in general and is really not specific to this set, so I probably shouldn’t complain. Overall it’s a four star set and for the money you really can’t go wrong.

I am a woman in my 50's starting out weight training for the first time in years.. Since my 30's I have only done cardio (treadmill, bike, elliptical at home). Haven't been to a gym since then, and at my age, even though I look good, there's mostly younger people there. I really did like the weights I did back then when I did go to the gym, so I found this on the Sears website and snapped it up. I like this machine better than the Weider I was going to get. The seat and back is movable so you can adjust it. I am 5'4.

The pluses: Great varied workout that gives your body a total workout. Compact in size. Smooth moving parts. The attached arms do a good job of giving you different workouts. Nice looking machine.

Overall: I would definitely purchase this machine again because after using it for 2 weeks, I am already getting in shape, in 4 months I hope to be where I want to be looking and feeling and will maintain it. I do upper exercises one day with cardio, the next day I do lower exercises with cardio. I feel great!!!"
