Excellent Home Gym November 17, 2007

This is an excellent home gym. It is almost healthclub quality in construction, with smooth operation and a durable finish. It provides a wide variety of exercises in a fairly compact footprint. Moving from exercise to exercise is fast, allowing a very quick and effective workout. I highly recommend it for the price.
FANTASTIC CHOICE March 29, 2008

Wow, if you can make it through the assembly, this is a fantastic choice of home gym. I live a long distance to my closest gym and the gas to get there was getting way too expensive. After doing tons of research, I did a leap of faith and ordered the Body Solid EXM 2500 and I am thrilled! It almost completely replaces the upper and lower body workout that I have been doing at the town gym. I can do two different tricep moves, a lat pull down, pec exercise, seated row, two types chest press,leg extension and tons more. It doesn't do cable cross overs with both arms at the same time, but hey, I do them one at a time. One thing I do miss is a leg press which comes as an option from other sources selling this machine. The bad news is that Body Solid does not make this model anymore and do not have leg presses to sell separately. There are still some of the 2500s still available and I suggest you grab one fast. Now for assembly... I knew it would take several hours (like 6 ) and it did but the whole process would have been faster if they would have text instructions as well as drawings. I'm not a dumb person but it was frustrating. I had read another person's suggestion of not tightening the pulleys until running the cable through and that was absolutely true. It's things like that they could tell you in the drawings and don't. But now that it's done and I'm back on my workout routine, I am loving it. Between gas and gyms fees, I will have paid it off in a year!
I like it! January 20, 2008

My wife and son are using this more than me. Works very smoothly and is able to handle my 200 plus pound body and my mutch smaller wife's. Make sure to take the time to follow the instructions illistrations. Don't get frustrated when you may have to remove a pulley or two after installing them to run the cables. You can't do mutch better than this, other than going to the gym or buying a more expensive item.

Do Not, repeat Do Not tighten pulleys during assembly until you are through stringing cables. Others have said this but additional emphasis won't hurt. Otherwise, assembly is straightforward, the drawings are excellent but some step by step instructions would have been a blessing. A good set of socket wrenches is essential.
Once assembled this appears to be a top quality well thought out machine. It provides a full array of exercises with easy reconfiguring from one to the next.
Who needs a Chiropractor? May 27, 2009

A tad exaggerated but I just used the leg attachment. Lying on the floor (you will need a lot of space for this) I attached my ankle to the ab crunch pulley. If you have enough room and allow the weights to pull your leg up through your hip and lower back, the effect is similar to a mild traction! I have a bad lower back and the relief is unbelievable! I bought mine in 2001 - had it on one side of the bedroom. After 7 years and a remodel my wife had me toss it out. It sat in the garage for another year. I finally re-assembled it, dropped a piece of ΒΌ inch coin-grip pad underneath - looks so good! In terms of function, I can't say enough about the quality and versatility of this unit. I have the dip-bar attachment and oh man, I can feel my lower discs loosening and stretching out as I relaxingly dangle in between the bar. Yes and the pumping iron exercises work just fine as well. At 5, 8 this unit is perfect for me. My wife uses it (for arms and shoulder strengthening) and now my son who's turning 14 wants in! Oh well - 24 Fitness will get cancelled and as for that Chiropractor I was going to call - forget about it!
