We relocated and sold this exact unit. After building out our new gym, we bought it again. This is the 2nd one I have owned. Incredibly well built! Not a hard assembly"¦ Takes a couple of hours. Most important to lay out all the parts. I labeled all the screws by pile. Some of the parts on the roller were already assembled even though the instructs told ya how to do it. So the parts I thought were missing were already assembled. Took me only 2-3 minutes to figure that put. I give it a solid 5 stars just like my last one!!!

This machine is well built and sturdy for home use. I like the angle adjustments in both plates, which allows for the best setup for each person. These adjustments are better than many commercial machines. It's a good value for the money and should last as long as I will need it. It took a friend and I about 2 hours to put it together after I sorted the bolts, washers, etc., by size. It works smoothly and I have gotten good workouts, Just a couple of quality issues, there were too many of one bolt and not enough of one of the washers, but I had some to fit. Also, the lower plate did not fit at the hinge and I had to modify the hinge width slightly to make it fit. If not for that it would have gotten 5 stars all around.

Very good value for your money. My husband and I are both the same Height. We are both 5'7...he has short legs and I have long legs. So with that in mind. Here my review.

The machine itself is very well made. The pads are nice. I would say 90% of the machine is steel and very heavy. It doesn't take up a lot of space. You can adjust the settings to fit your needs. Overall, I am very happy with my leg press.

The bad part about the machine. Their clear plastic over the lettering. Be cautious pulling this off. All the boxes are very heavy. I would recommend the package being dropped off as close to the area where it will be used.

How to put it together??

Unpack everything and make sure you have all the parts. Read the directions and follow them exactly. I would sort out all the screw. Check all sizes and match them together. This will save you a lot of headaches later. Again don't skip and steps. I tried skipping a step and the frame would not fit together.

The base will go together first and then the sides. I would recommend pre-fiting The frame before sliding the tran on. I turned the machine on it side to slide the tran on. Tran part is very heavy and needs to be put together first. However mine was already Assembled. I made sure it was put together correctly. Slide the Tran all the way down and stand the machine upright. Then assembly the back part of the frame. See pic above. Putting the machine together is hard if you don't take your time. Note: If the Tran come Assembled it will look like your missing parts. Look at the Tran before calling anyone. Once you have put the frame part together the rest is easy. Just following the directions and you should be good.

Seller review

The seller was very helpful when I had problems with the shipping. They will need your phone number to set up drop off for the product. Amazon is not very clear about this. Any large heavy product will need to be delivered by box truck. You will also need to check your Amazon messages and your spam email. This was my mistake. The seller will help you out.

Bayou fitness - product was delivered in less than 7days via UPS. The UPS guy was a gym rat and was more than glad to helpme lug the boxes into my workout gym/room. This is my second large order from Bayou fitness in the past 3 years and so far no problem with them. I will come back to Bayou fitness because they seem to always have the best price, free shipping & no taxes. Also good quality equipment. Just wish they carried more/different companies.

BodySolid - leg press/hack squat machine. Took less than 6 hours for me and wifey to uncrate, organize, assemble & cleanup. The package was short some nuts and screws. We ended going to Home Depot rather make this a big issue w/BodySolid. This is our second large piece of equipment and BodySolid ultimately backups their 100% warranty for broken equipment is why I purchased the latest unit from them. The unit works very well so far. I'm pressing eight 45's and like the smoothness and stability. I'm 6'5 and my wife is 5'7" and so the unit is height friendly. The pull pin is in a weird spot but we work with it making adjustments to it under the foot pad. The footprint is much smaller than what you will find in most gyms yet it doesn't want for quality. Overall my wife and I are pleased with the overall performance. The hack squat and calf press works as advertised. Hack squats are smooth and effortless. We hesitate to give the unit 5STARS because (1) we haven't had the unit very long, (2) it lacked minor but necessary pieces and (3) the cushions could have been better quality.

We have a small gym and so all of our equipment must have more than one function. This leg press is also a hack squat as well as a calf press machine. It is prefect for your little office gym.

It is a good quality machine. It has two faults - One, the is difficult to assemble because the instructions and parts are not well laid out. You will need to organize everything before you start. Second, There should be weight storage bars on the machine like many other brands. Other than that however, it is perfect.
