The Buzz

The Body Solid G9S home gym features 2" x 4" 11-gauge mainframe construction, impact resistant fiberglass reinforced nylon 4½" pulleys with precision-machined steel ball bearings, 2,200 lb. tension strength, military spec, steel aircraft cables, gas-assist adjustable seat posts, thick DuraFirm™ pads with lumbar support, and a non-slip rubber encased footplate.

One of the most frequent comments made in home gym reviews is that the Body Solid G9S home gym is a health club quality machine. It is every bit deserving to carry the Body Solid name, and to represent a company that is well known for its well-built products that are packed with features. Additionally, new owners of the Body Solid G9S say that this 972-lb home gym is fairly straightforward to set up in a basement or garage. Just be sure to allow for enough space on all sides of the gym for full access to the workout stations, and that you have enough ceiling height if you opt for the VKR attachment.

Our Take

If you are currently using free weights at home, Body Solid’s state-of-the-art G9S home gym is a compliment to your iron especially if you are missing out on leg curl / leg extensions, a pec dec, a lat tower, and the three position starts for cable work. If you have another type of home gym, it is time to upgrade to a new level of strength training performance. And finally, if you are just starting out, the Body Solid G9S home gym is everything you need all in one great machine. The G9S is currently priced at $3000 at Amazon.com and $2789 at Bigfitness.com.
