What We Review and Why

We review home gyms that are budget priced under $300, as well as top-of-the-line units that retail for over $3,500. We point out which systems are compact or full size, which are for single users or have multi-station access for two or more users, what the max resistance is (210 lbs; 410 lbs, etc.), and what type of resistance the machine uses, i.e., cable or pulley system with selectorized weight stacks, or free weight stations.

In our reviews we also consider factors such as ergonomics and adjustability (for correct lifting techniques), as well as effectiveness, sturdiness, and value. Here you can learn about the quality of construction, the reputation of the home gym manufacturer, the warranty, and the kind of customer service you can expect when you call.

Moreover, we've included in our home gym reviews what muscle groups can be targeted on the unit (and what key exercises are missing), as well as how effective you can expect the system to be for developing balance, core stability and functional strength.

How We Developed Our Reviews

We offer our reviews, ratings and recommendations on each home gym system and at times will suggest alternatives for a better product at the same price. You'll also find that we have our own preferences and pre-requisites (such as a leg press attachment, two-hand position bench press, lat pull down) and will note it when a system includes these types of exercises and others that lifters look for most often in home gyms.

*Ratings are based on quality, ergonomics, adjustability, effectiveness, number of exercises, sturdiness and overall value.

Our reviews and ratings of home gyms include the opinions of weight training experts, fitness equipment experts, and the actual consumers who have purchased and are currently using the machines and other weight equipment we review here. We've been involved in weight training in both free weights and on circuit machines since the early 1980s (as well as cardio training), and we draw on our own experiences to point out the pros and cons of these systems in our home gym reviews
