Marcy Stack Home Gym with Pulley, Arm, and Leg Developer Multifunctional Workout Station for Weightlifting and Bodybuilding

I bought this because it was one of the cheapest machines available on Amazon. It definitely works and provides a decent array of exercises which is all I wanted. It is pretty small though so if you're 6 foot or taller, I wouldn't recommend this. I'm 5' 10" and feel like I'm about as big as someone can be and still use it comfortably. It was easy to put together and the quality is nice enough that i feel safe using it.

Took around 5 hours. This included having to dismantle half of it because I reversed a section of the base by accident.I’ve had a machine before that was sold in the 90s and this is way better quality. Almost gym quality.A few things that I ran into that you should be aware of are that it is ideally a two person job. I would say 95 percent of the build you can do on your own but you will need assistance with a few of the structural pillars. Maybe you can get away with not having help but it will be inconvenient.I have a few tools already so I used a rubber mallet and a socket wrench to make it go faster. You will need a 16 metric sized wrench. An adjustable wrench it recommends would work but for all the torquing you have to do is tedious.People mentioned that the bench press bars need to be padded. So I ordered a walking cane foam tubular pads for them. They are sized perfect for it. I’ll update this if it doesn’t work. I ordered two off the internet for 5 bucks apiece.Overall a great value and solid performance. The pulleys are almost perfectly aligned for continuous tension throughout a pull or press.

Really great machine with just about every workout you could ask for. I'm 5'7" and it's the perfect size. However, for anyone taller than me, I don't think it'd have very great range of motion.I wish there were some adjustable settings on the bench or the bars to either push it further forward or backward. Though, there is an adjustable setting on one of the pulleys in the back, which allows for additional slack, which can somewhat make up for it.

Just got it and put it together, used once. I'll update review after several uses.To give an idea of how/why I'm reviewing how I do below, I'm 5'9" 220lbs (chubby/fit). I go to the gym 3-4 times a week but wanted something I could do little workouts at home on off days in front of the TV. Was looking at just getting a bench press but total cost for everything this wasn't much more and allows for various exercises to work other muscle groups.Shipping was crazy fast. Was supposed to be 4-6 days, arrived the next afternoon after ordering.Came in 3 packages as others were saying. Main box with the machine plus 2 boxes with the weights in them.All parts and components were included and free of damage.Assembly was mostly simple and straight forward. The last diagram or two got pretty, intricate we'll say. Once you get to assembly of the pulley system and the finer workings the diagrams are a cluster "French" and take a minute to dissect. Only complaint about assembly though.Use is pretty good, I went through all the exercises on the chart to test all its supposed to be able to do, "As Advertised" we'll say.-I wish the U-Bar hand grips had padding. Especially when you get to higher weight, the solid metal bars can get painful. I'm going to look for actual pads but will likely end up just wrapping them with some foam and electrical tape, they need padding.-The pad for doing curls is way to small for adult male. I had to put my elbows on the far edge as I could but they still needed to go wider. This made my elbows point in to much and made curls a bit painful after a few sets.-Chain is way to long in my opinion. I'm only 5'9" but i needed to hook my chain half way down the links to have it a proper height and could probably have gone a little further honestly but this isn't a bad thing really as it's adjustable for people of various heights/arm lengths.-Upper leg pad is really in the way more than anything. If you're not doing leg exercises it really needs to be removed which is a bit of a pain because you have to pull off the pad, set it to the side and put it back together when you need it. But there isn't enough space between it and the seat to position your legs to do any of the arm exercises comfortably.-Otherwise, everything works good and it's comfortable and easy to use. But, I would definitely say this is something more suited for people with smaller frames/size.Durability seems good. I only took it up to 100lbs and probably won't go higher for awhile until I'm sure I didn't mess something up in assembly and feel comfortable it's not going to collapse from its own design. After 2hrs of use in all its listed exercises, it held up fine. There was some creaking but for now I'm chalking that up to it and the parts just settling.TLDR;Little small but it's decent if you're smaller looking to tone and build a little muscle at home. Holds up fine so far, seems durable. Most exercises work good, being small makes some difficult. Overall, it's decent and price is reasonable.

There are many variables to fit and the product company really needs to state measurements from backrest to butterfly and seat height (top of seat) to overhead rail. I knew this would be dicey as I am 6'5" but I was also buying it for the lateral pull down and curls primarily, secondary bench press and leg lift. I made it work but the lateral pull down sitting on top of the seat then trying to get full range is only about 35% range at my height sitting on seat.If I could lose 4-6" in height it would be better, then 6" very good. So 6ft or under would be perfect. Also, you cannot be "BIG" I am 6'5" and 275 and my chest width (a little out of shape but not that far) where the butterfly arms travel they touch my rib cage a little where the handles are that are U shaped.Those handles project out way further then they should. Overall I am utilizing what I can and because I am highly motivated and getting to it I will live with it because I anticipated these things prior.Those handles are for the bench press. I may have a machine shop take 1"-2" off the length and re-thread them to solve that. But.....that aside....here is what this manufacturer can do to sell this to many more people.-The main overhead rail really need to be 4" longer. That would solve the butterfly issue and also position the lat pull down in a better place. Maybe a second product like same product with "TALL" because yes you would have to change the pulley cords make them longer, etc. but overall it would be the main rail being manufactured.However, the convenience not to be at the gym is a HUGE PLUS. That is a drag trying to show up when they are open. I can workout every night targeting different areas and play loud motivating music and not worry about closing time.That is my best advice in summary. If you want this perfect for you be 6' and under and weight fairly commensurate with your height.
