PFT100

Unbelievable product. Let me start off by saying that the item was shipped & delivered in timely fashion. The product arrived with no damage to packaging. Upon arrival I immediately began assembly. It took approximately four hours to complete the assembly with a few intermittent breaks to reset my mind. Not one additional bolt or washer was provided so be cautious in assembly process. As other reviewers have stated; the instructions are quite vague so attention to detail is required. Since assembling I have done numerous exercises with the product & am quite impressed with its durability. Immediately one can tell that this product is built to last. The PFT100 is silky smooth when using as the weights glide freely with no obstructions. This equipment is as close to gym quality as you can find at a reasonable price. I have since ordered the additional weight to upgrade system from 160 pounds to 210 pound but I can assure you that the majority of exercises can be thoroughly accomplished with the provided 160 pounds. The additional 50 pounds are more for aesthetic purposes & to assist in limited amount of exercises. This isn’t my first time ordering from Gronk Fitness & I will continue to do so. When purchasing high dollar items I immediately look to a vendor who I can trust. Gronk Fitness is that vendor. While I had no issues with the current equipment assembly; the minor issues I did face previously with different pieces were immediately addressed in satisfactory matter. To me that’s essential & I believe this to be a consideration point.

Good product. Very well-machined . . . all the various parts and holes line up perfectly . . . nothing needed to be "bent to fit" or hammered into place. Commentary on assembly (skip this until you get serious about buying it): 1) Overall, pretty easy to do. It took me just under 3 hours, working pretty slowly and deliberately. Probably could have done it in two hours, if I wanted to work faster. 2) One person can do this, but having a second person to stabilize the left and right uprights while linking them together was *really* useful, probably mandatory. The main person does not need to be particularly "handy" . . . just know which way to turn a bolt to tighten it. The second person just needs to hold stuff. 3) They suggest the tools needed, but then they give you several of them (specifically, the Allen wrenches you will need). The only two tools I had to provide were a socket wrench and an adjustable wrench . . . and even the socket wrench was optional. You will need two wrenches total, however. 4) At two points, there was mild confusion in the instructions (not serious): a) The parts list says there are 10 set screws, but only provides 6 in the blister pack of parts. The other 4 are pre-installed in their respective parts. You *will* need all 10. (In fact, you will need every single washer, bolt, and nut they give you . . . do not lose any, there are no extras.) b) There is one part (#8, a cap-headed hex bolt) that the instructions say is "pre-installed". It was not, for me . . . in fact, I don't see how this even could be pre-installed. Unfortunately, the instructions also don't mention how to use it (which makes sense, I guess, if it was supposed to be pre-installed). You need to use this part (#8) at Step 4F of the assembly procedure (not documented). The exploded diagram at the back of the manual shows how tis part is used. (Unfortunately, the diagrams specific to Steps 4A - 4J do not show this part.) It was not that big a deal and pretty easy to figure out. In fact, you can assemble everything without this part and it still works . . . just when you're trying to figure out why you have a leftover part you discover how to make it work better. All in all, very easy. Product works very smoothly . . . no friction, grinding, or noise.

Great machine. At this price point I doubt you can find a better machine. It took me and adult daughter just over 2 hours to put together. I have used it several times and the pulleys are smooth (no noise or wiggle). I did buy a couple of extra grips and bars to increase the variety of exercises I can do. Very solid machine and I like that I don't have to attach it to the wall.

When it comes to home cable machines you have a few options: 1) replace with bands (very viable), you can even using something like the rogue slinger system 2) use one of the cost effective single pulley systems you hook to a squat rack 3) look at the at home cable machine options. I did bands for a while but missed the feel from cable machines for accessory movements. When looking at options there were cable crossover machines and lat pulldown machines. The majority of high quality lat pull down and cable crossover style machines ranged from 2-3K sometimes higher with shipping. I came down to purchasing either the body-solid powerline or a titan fitness lat pulldown machine. Given the versatility at the same price point I elected for this crossover machine. Its honestly pretty astonishing that it comes in at around 1K when i purchased it, and had free shipping at the time (no idea if that is still the case) - it is a no frills cable machine with a good feel to it and really in my opinion no corners cut. The big thing to consider for me is I know with my schedule its impossible for me to have someone available to help set me up the majority of gym equipment I purchase. Squat racks/benches/flooring I have always had to do solo - this made my big concern the assembly of this product and if it was feasible solo. The assembly instructions and process were excellent - it does take about 4.5 hours to put together (or at least it did for me) but its very straight forward and frankly I feel like anyone can do it. As far as workouts - the construction is solid and frankly I would expect the machine to last for a lifetime

This is an excellent piece of equipment. I would consider myself an advance user, having had several gym memberships over the past +decade and have experienced a variety of equipment. This is surprisingly smooth and the cable use is as you would hope, especially for the price. I was really worried here because this aspect is a make or break for cable machines. Setup by myself took about 1-2 hours or so. The cons: My item didn't have all of the weights for the stack. I did sign off on the delivery, but I was exhausted helping Fedex and the older gentleman move it up into my garage and didn't count all of the little boxes... now I'm 1 box short. The only other con that I can think of is that the weight on the stack is not enough resistance for me. (This isn't a "look at me" kind of thing. The 1 box missing was only a few lbs worth and the stack is pretty easy. I shouldn't have listened to other reviews on that department and gone with the larger stack. Most of you wouldn't need it to be fair.

I bought the Body Solid PFT 100 in February 2020. It took my wife and me an entire evening after work to put it all together. The instructions were well written and easy to understand. The machine is quite sturdy although I took the extra step of purchasing stable mats (3/4" thick rubber mats) from Tractor Supply and laying those directly on top of the cement floor in my garage. The machine doesn't move at all when being used even when I use most of the weights. The pull-up bar is an added bonus as are the accessory hooks on the back of the unit. Unfortunately, when putting the machine together I trimmed too much excess off one of the cables. I admitted as much to Body Solid via email. They sent me two replacement cables at no additional charge. Though this unit is expensive it is worth every penny if you are disciplined enough to use it several times each week. There's nothing like using your own gym equipment!

I love this item, a bit time consuming to put together, but not difficult. I love having it in my home gym. I have had it for a few months now and it's held up great. The price point is great and I don't feel like I'm missing anything compared to my sister's cable machine that was 2.5x this price. The only issue I have is the shipping company they used is absolute trash. The tracking sucks, they lost it for a while, they wouldn't respond to calls for days, and after digging, i could tell that it had been in some warehouse only 15 mins from my house for like a week and a half, and they claimed that they had been trying to get ahold of me to schedule delivery (they had not). I didn't want to remove a star for that because it's not the product's fault. And I understand for reasonable shipping costs, this is bound to happen at some point. Additionally when I contacted Body Solid about the problem they went out of their way to put a fire under the shipping company a$$ to get it to me.

I bought this for my wife who was looking for a machine at home. She is in the gym 6 days a week and competes so a quality machine was a must. This thing is legit. It seems as solid as anything I've seen in a gym and looks like it will hold up nicely. It's not loud and seems to operate really well. I've had it set up for a few weeks at this point. It was fairly easy to assemble but does take a while. I'm not sure about the value for the money as this is the only machine I've ever bought. But having seen prices for others at 2k or over I think I did alright spending 1,300 on this. Glad I didn't buy one of the others. I bought the protection plan as well, not sure if that was necessary but I'm covered. The only thing that was a pain about this was need to strip the end of the cable to finish the assembly. My own fault though for not having quality strippers. Make sure you have a quality tool to strip the end of the cable and you'll be good to go.

Perfect

最低な作り。 寸法が多々あっていない。 ケーブルマシンを買うなら、他のメーカーを強くお勧めします！ 絶対買わない方がいいです！
