The directions were pretty much straightforward. The cable routing however, could have been a bit more clear. Get yourself a set of 13 and 16 mm open end wrenches as well as a 16 mm socket with a small extension. It will save you grief and frustration over the adjustable wrenches. I am a mechanic (which explains the tools) and my son and I took just over three hours assembling the unit. You get much for what you pay for. It is not the best; but it is by far not the worst either. It is a beginners set. You can do much with this set and it beats buying a separate bench and weight set (unless that is your thing) for over twice what we paid for this. It is solidly constructed and so far my son has no complaints. With all the COVID-19 restrictions in place this was a small price to pay (literally) to help keep my son in shape. I would highly recommend this set to anyone just starting out. Also, it does not take up very much space.

I prefer working out at home , but needed to rotate between free and fixed weight . This gets the job done , and then some ....

Great quality materials very heavy had a hard time getting it in the house they did package the weights inside the box with the heavy bars ao it caused box to arrive beat up and one corner busted open there are lots of parts to assemble wheels and pullies 3 large packs of screws and bolts came in box. I am still working on assembly considering calling the number they provide to hire someone to do it ... takes 2 people cant do it yourself. the padding and chais came in seperate box with more parts good qality extremely heavy best to assemble it whwre u want to keep it so dont have to try and move it .. it came with exercise chart showing what exercises u can do. It was delivered early Great value for the money. im very pleased with the product.

I was a little nervous buying this cause of all the reviews of missing parts or bent parts. I'm so glad I decided to give it a shot anyways. It's absolutely 100% perfect. I had no issues with not having parts or bent parts, the assembly was a long process but the directions were very easy to follow so it was not hard. I love our machine!!

This is a beginner home gym for me, and I scored a reasonable price two hundred fifty before the price gougers came in. It's worth the two hundred fifty, nothing more. As other reviewers have noted, the lower cable has much more resistance than the upper, so make sure to use less weight with the lower cable exercises. Be forewarned that Walmart incorrectly shows one package coming, but FedEx is more detailed and accurate with two packages arriving. You need two packages for a complete working gym. I assembled everything by using YT videos and following the well-written instructions. Assembly time was in the ballpark of other reviewers. All parts were included. Many of the smaller pieces were labeled on shrink-wrapped cardboard which was very helpful. One box was damaged when it arrived, but inside contents were not affected. Overall, worthwhile for a beginner home gym costing two hundred fifty.

Very disappointed I received my home gym a couple days ago and went to start building it today and there is no instructions (I could live without this because there are YouTube videos) but there's also no hardware. I searched every inch of the box. So I emailed the customer service email on the box and I'm gonna pray they help me out. Very disappointed, I get it's a good gym for the price but it's of little use to me if I can't put it together.

The package came in two different dates. There is two big packages. I was frustrated after receiving first package seeing parts missing and initiated return. Luckily the 2nd package showed up a day after. Took about four hours to assemble. It's a good machine for the money.

Item arrived missing the assembly manual, ALL hardware-no nuts, bolts, screws, cables-and included extra cushions for more than 1 seat. Promptly returned. Support website listed on box is non-existant, though I did call Weider support and the rep first said they didn't handle Weider products. Laughable.

Was a little hesitant to purchase but the price was great. Had a bench and free weights for years but wanted something to work out the full body plus something my wife would feel comfortable using. Took me about 4 hours to assemble and the instructions and hardware were excellent. Its not a high dollar gym quality machine but for our small excersise room and our 3 day a week work outs its perfect. Gave my bench and free weights to my son in law.

I purchased this on Feb 3 and got it delivered on Feb 11th. Both the boxes were in pretty good shape. Directions were pretty clear. I loved the way they have put all the screws and instructions for each step. I think this is a great value for the price.
