The BuzzThe Weider Club 8980 W has a 150-lb weight stack which is too light for the majority of users. That is the main drawback of this system even though the resistance claims to go up to 175 lbs with the cable-and-pulley arrangement. Beginners will outgrow that limit within a few months. But the real problem with the Weider Club 8980 W is in the cheap components found in these systems, such as the vinyl stack. Trainers and equipment experts are disappointed that the quality of Weider equipment has fallen so far in the past few years. The company’s best product is the Total Gym 5000 – a solid, fun, and inexpensive glideboard trainer.

It’s too bad these people settled for less and don’t know about better alternatives on the market.

Our TakeAt $700, the Weider Club 8980 W pales in comparison in head-to-head match-ups with the Body Solid EXM1500S and the Body Solid P1 Powerline Home Gyms. Both systems are under $1000 and come with the best warranty in the business. Plus with a Body Solid, you will get alloy steel weights which are better than cheap vinyl bricks. Pass up the Weider Club 8980 W System and get a home gym that will last a lifetime. Show me other Weider Home Gyms Return from Weider Club 8980 W System to the Home Gym Reviews Index Page
