It is a complete gym all in one -- it even includes a Leg Press -- yet it is so compact and well designed that it doesn’t take up a whole lot of space. This is a top-quality, well thought-out gym.

The Buzz

Designed for comfort and correct biomechanical positioning when working out, the EXM3000LPS series gym offers everything you need to build and tone muscles. Nearly every essential workout is addressed here to give you a full array of core training exercises. Trainers and fitness experts praise Body Solid systems because their ergonomic design and adjustability is suitable for even large men. It’s one of the more comfortable home gyms you’ll find as the thick seats are made of DuraFirm pads. It also features nylon bushings and heavy cables which provide a smooth quiet operation.

Home gym reviews of the Body Solid EXM3000LPS are enthusiastic across the board. The Leg Press station is already included! In addition, the Pec Station allows for six incremental settings for variable starting positions to hit the pecs and the rear deltoid muscles. Many reviewers have commented on the confusing assembly instructions and as a result, they recommend you run the cables through first, otherwise you will have to start all over and remove the pulley wheels in order to assemble the gym correctly. In all, it can take 6 to 12 hours to assemble the Body Solid EXM3000LPS Home Gym. Your best alternative is to hire a qualified tech to set up and calibrate the gym; you should check out the In-Home Assembly Service offered by the website you buy from.

Our Take

More features, more stations, more value -- the Body Solid EXM3000LPS system is one of the best designs you will find in a home gym. It has an optional VKR (Vertical Knee Raise)/Dip Station, for $375 in order to build strong shoulders and awesome triceps, but we suggest you look for a freestanding dip station, from either Body Solid or another company, for around $225. The Body Solid EXM3000LPS Home Gym has an MSRP of $3,975 but we have seen it on sale for $3,299. With the money you will save on paying for a family membership at a health club, this unit could pay for itself in a year.
