Leverage Gym LG01

I'm hoping I'll get some good usage out of this. Definitely a welcomed piece of equipment that allows for many different additions to my workout.

It is an awesome piece of equipment. It has all the basic exercises I enjoy. It is a very stable and sturdy machine. Thank You

For those who can't fit a full leg sled or Rack/Smith Machine in the home gym due to space constraints, the GMWD Leverage Gym is the best option out there. I researched a lot of options, but for the price (and quality - I also have their leg extension/curl machine), this is the best out there. Lots of exercises can be done here, and it is easy to build. Plus, it takes up almost no space. I love it.

Very good product. Solid, operates well.

Be aware that it takes up more space than you think because of the weight horns on the side and because the low cable weights extend backward when used. You need it about a foot away from the back wall and you need extra room on the side to get the plates on and off. So you need at least 66” of space front to back and side to side, 66 square inches minimum.

Be aware that the lever arms are NOT interchangeable. The weight horn will tilt downward if you put the levers on the wrong side. You can tell by lying the arm flat on the floor and making sure that the horn is tilted upward - that is the proper orientation. The arms are hard to get all the way on. I had to pound them with a mallet.

Also, I added some padding to the underside of the arms so they don’t slam down metal-on-metal during use.

Also, it is difficult to tell from the instructions how to run the cable, but it does run down inside the middle pole before it comes out of the bottom.

Lastly, the weight calculation of the lever arms is not initially clear. I used a scale on the bench to weigh the arms after putting them on. They are about 8 pounds each. I also weighed myself with and without different weight on the lever arms. I concluded that the proper calculation is: plate weight x .75 plus 16 lbs for the arms. So, for example, 100 lbs of plates equals 91 lbs (100x.75 + 16). I still don’t know what the low cable weight actually is, but it does seem more than 50%, probably between 65-75%.
