Best Functional Trainer for the Price
05/23/12:
I purchased this at Walmart for $499 Plus Tax and Ship to Store. It comes in 5 boxes, 4 for the weights, and one long box for all of the parts to the gym. Its the best one at this price for 2 separate weight stacks. There are 8 12.5 lb weight stacks. I purchased Adler weight adapters to add 2.5lbs or 5lbs so I can raise the weight in parallel with what I use at the gym.
Pros:
-The System is pretty solid overall. It has 2 individual weight stacks that are adjustable. Assembly isn't too bad. You might need another person to hold some things steady, but I got through most of the building in a few hours no problem with a hand here and there.
-The Pull-Up/ Chin-Up Bar is pretty thick. I feel it is either an Olympic Grip or slightly larger which you rarely see on any piece of home gym equipment.
-Takes many attachments. I purchased a Body Solid Press Bar, Gold's Gym Tricep Rope, and Champion Straight Bar; all work no problem. It comes with a good set...

Good machine, but leaves me wanting a little more
Short answer:
This thing would have been 5 stars if the handles were better and there was more weight in smaller increments.
Long answer:
First off, assembly is going to take at least an hour or two and you'll probably need help. That isn't a negative, just a fact...if you want something easier, get a set of dumbbells. If you have to do it by yourself, put the adjustable pulleys on the vertical support before you attach the supports to the base, then you won't have to try to slide them on while holding the whole mess in the air. When bolting the top on, put a little tape on the tip of the hex wrench to hold the bolts while you get them started (you will know when you get to this part...probably right after you drop a bolt in the hole). Also, don't tighten anything until you get the top on, you will need to push/pull things around a little to get holes to line up. This isn't bad construction, just the way it is when you have a lot of heavy-ish metal pieces...
Package and the machine was chewed on by rats
I received the exact product I ordered, but most definitely not in the condition that I was promised. The package was completely destroyed, and looks to be that rats had chewed completely through the packaging and chewed on several weight plates. There was also broken screw heads before even assembling. I personally will never order from this seller again. My delivery date was 9/6/12 and it was not received. Then I was given another delivery date of 9/18/12 and once again was not received. I finally received my package on 9/26/12.
