Powerline Home Gyms – The Good, The Bad, and the Average

Powerline Home Gym Reviews

The budget line of Powerline home gyms and power racks are made by Body Solid, one of the best manufacturers of fitness and gym equipment in the world.

With that kind of lineage, it is a shame that the quality of the home gyms from Powerline lag far behind the quality found in Body Solid equipment.

Limited Warranty Coverage

That suspect quality is reflected in the limited warranty you get with Powerline home gyms. Instead of Body Solid’s guaranteed lifetime coverage of everything (pads, cables, pulleys, etc.), the Powerline Warranty is 10 years on the frame and only 1 year on the parts.

To obtain warranty service, you must return the Product to Powerline in its original container (or equivalent). You must pre-pay any shipping charges... In addition, you are responsible for insuring any Product shipped or returned.

While Powerline’s fitness equipment is affordable and many home gyms are patterned after the same multi-gyms made by Body Solid, it does not make sense to go with Powerline equipment until they improve the warranty coverage. You are taking a chance that you will have to repair or replace pulleys, cams, cables, seat pads, etc. For a home gym, go with a Body Solid unit for a few dollars more and don’t worry about the warranty: everything is covered – forever.

Powerline’s Best Products

The best buy in Powerline fitness equipment is in their affordable power rack, squat rack, Smith machine, benches, and free weight machines. They are well constructed, sturdy, and are above average quality. Not only will you save money by getting a Powerline rack or bench over competitor models, these items generally get good to rave reviews from satisfied customers. So check out the racks and benches, but don’t bother with the Powerline home gyms. There are better deals out there.
