Body Solid EXM1500S Home Gym
When the leading consumer reporting magazines were searching for the “#1 Best Buy” in the home gym category, they found it in the EXM1500S. It has all the features you need for a complete toning, trimming and strength training program at home. In just 20 minutes a day, three times a week, you can trim down and firm up in your own home, on your own schedule. Forget the gym membership dues, long lines and that locker room smell. Using the EXM1500S will lead you to a healthier lifestyle, save you time and save you money.
This gym is centered on a 160 lb. weight stack, adjustable in 10 lb. increments, stacked neatly without plates and bars scattered about. Simply insert a pin and begin! While sitting on the firm, oversized, adjustable seat pad you can start by grabbing the multi-grip press arm and work on your chest and shoulders, then wrap your legs over the comfortable foam rollers to rip through a set of thigh burning leg extensions.
Now, take hold of the Ab Strap and crunch your way to a washboard stomach. Spin around and reach for the Lat Bar and work your shoulders and upper back. Using the Straight Bar on the multi-purpose Low Pulley you can perform seated rows, biceps curls, wrist curls, upright rows, shrugs and more. Other exercises include triceps press down, standing leg curl, bent over row, inner and outer thigh, one arm cable curl and standing calf raise. The EXM1500S gives you more for your money than any other home gym on the market. This product is designed and warranted for Home Use Only.
Customer Review:
The Body Solid EXM1500S single stack home gym is easy to use and very sturdy. My wife’s friend, a physical therapist, inspected this home gym and was quite pleased. She showed us the many different types of strengthening exercises that you can do with this home gym that are not included in the chart. The entire family is getting toned and fit. It took about three to four hours to put it together. I think it is a great product, well worth the money and required assembly time.
To be a little more specific of what I like about this gym: the geometry, the angles, seat height adjustments, handles, leg cushions, pulleys, and overall build all add up to something that feels like a lot of thought was put into it. There are some machines that frustrate you when you don’t get the full extension. Nothing is more frustrating to me than getting on a home gym, especially a lat machine where you don’t get to reach all the way. This machine, even when benching, will allow for full extensions. Additionally, you don’t waste time transitioning between exercises. The only pause in exercise you really need is the few seconds it takes to lean over and change the weight amount.
Exercises:
Leg Exercises - Leg lift for Quads is great. The standing one legged hamstring curl took a bit to get used, to but given the small size of the machine, it is worthwhile putting the time in.
Bench Press - Very smooth, and you get two hand positions, one for more inner pec and the other for more outer.
Lats/Back – This is where I believe this machine earns it keep. It provides a Lat pull down, and a seated row position. This was key to me and it performs as expected. (note I’m using this for toning and not body building. A 160 pound stack works for me.)
Shoulders/Arms – The curl bar that is included does have a static handle, so it is not too good for curls. You may need to purchase a bar that has rotating handles. Since I use dumbbells for these exercises, it did not matter too much. I am ordering a single rotating curl bar, so that my wife can add some exercises.
The Body Solid EXM1500S single stack home gym is a very study machine, and great for a home gym, with it’s small footprint. I would recommend it to others looking for a smaller home gym with a fair price for the quality. Every motion is smooth and quiet. Very compact and the lifetime warranty is reassuring. Overall, I would say it is great value for someone who wants a smaller in home machine to cover a lot of exercises, and wants to add strength training to their workout.
The body solid gym provides the solution to all of your personal fitness needs, in the comfort of your own home. The body solid exm1500s is perfect for the home where space is at a premium. Review Source
