Body Solid Home Gym EXM1500S

Date Published: 11/2/06

Backed by an impressive warranty, the Body Solid EXM1500S is a sturdy, well made home gym aimed at exercisers with both limited space and limited budget.

With a compact footprint, the gym still incorporates stations for chest press, seated row, leg extension and curl, lat pulldown and an ab crunch or mid pulley station. We recommend you invest a little extra and purchase the optional stirrup and revolving curl bar to get the most out of the gym.

The machine operates smoothly and almost silently, a big plus in any home fitness product. It is quick and easy to adjust for different exercises or to accommodate different users, making it ideal for use by the whole family. With minimal, light maintenance, this gym should supply years of rigorous exercise. You just need to add the time and effort.

Serious body builders will find this gym's weight stack of 160 pounds too restricting, but for average exercisers the Body Solid EXM1500S is a versatile, high quality piece of home gym equipment.


Pros: Small footprint, smooth and quiet operation, high quality construction
Cons: Weight stack limited to 160 lbs., stirrup and rotating curl bar only sold as optional extras
