Great Deal for $1600 Here or $1800 From Marcy
4/1/2020 Update:Cable flies are perfect on this machine, your pecs will respond very quickly.The supplied bar that attaches to both adjustable pulleys is extremely versatile for a variety of exercises: lat pull downs, tricep push downs, rows front raises. Give it a try and see what works for you. I posted a new picture with the bar attached.FIRST: if you do not see it listed here for the $1598 I paid, buy it directly from Marcy! The seller who has it here for over $3000 is seeking to take your money!Second: This is a very sturdy piece of equipment that delivers big for less than $2000!I am nearly finished with assembling the system. This is a preliminary review based on shipping, assembly and value. I will post an update after using the system for a few weeks.The assembly is actually very straightforward. As long as you’re comfortable using a couple of wrenches and reading exploded view diagrams you’ll be fine. Be patient, it will take time to locate parts between the different boxes and bags contained therein. If you have room to lay each unwrapped piece out do so, it could help cut down the assembly time tremendously.This is a high quality piece of equipment. The supplied accessories make it a great value. The foot plate for rowing is the main flaw I’ve found so far. It is a totally flat plate, not ergonomic for a natural foot/ankle position.I need to reach out to Marcy to replace two of the bench leg pads. One cover was punctured in shipping and two pads have permanent deep depressions in them from shipping. They’ve been out of the box for several days but haven’t returned to a smooth round shape.More to come after I finish the assembly later this week.UPDATE:Running the cables and attaching the pulleys is not difficult, tedious and repetitive but not difficult.The smith machine is very smooth and has a natural range of motion.A couple of issues I have with the system are the butterfly attachment and the foot plate for seated rowing.The arc of the butterfly motion seems too long. When performing seared butterflies I noticed I am reaching out to keep my arms in contact with the pads as I complete reps, as if the bars are too far away from me. I have just over a 6ft-3in wingspan and and never had this issue with any other seared butterfly. I suspect either the support the arms attach to is an inch or two too long, or the back pad needs a spacer between it and the frame it connects to. A significant enough spacer will force you forward enough to maintain a natural range of motion while performing butterflies.The last issue with the fly arms is that they touch at the peak of the motion. This will result in cosmetic damage to the ends of both arms over time. Simple fix is a rubber 2in sleeve over then ends of both arms but since that’s not provided, I will wrap mine with electrical tape.The problem with the foot plate is it is flat, not ergonomic for a natural foot position.Some of my photos will show the foot plate and the support for the butterfly arms.The Marcy customer service representative was very helpful when I called to request the replacement pads and some rubber end caps.

HIGH RECOMMENDED
I could not wait for this machine to arrive!! I have bought so much gym equipment since this Covid-19 outbreak hit. Once I saw this machine available online I sold my bowflew, one of my weight benches, and my other smith machine. I told my wife the next thing I buy would be what I WANT and not just machines to get me by. THIS WAS IT!! I got mine Friday May 22nd 2020 (two days ago) we stayed up all night put this machine together. I went to bed and my wife stayed up till 4 am and I woke back up around 6am to finish it. It took us til about 730pm that day to finally use it. We were already in love before it arrived and continued to fall more and more as we received it. The materials are top class! They did not cut corners with this machine. From the medal used to build it to the handles springs rollers etc are all top notch. Its better than I originally expected. The assembly takes time of course.. We got stuck at one point with the 4 (2 set) of “silver poles” we put the wrong set on the smith machine part. Took us a min to realize it was the wrong set. Ill just say this at step (6) part number (17) is not the 2 poles with the dents on the ends. Besides that it was pretty easy just time consuming. My wife did the cables herself. I know some people have comments about them but she did it by herself while I was sleep. She’s amazing tho, soooo. Anyway Im writing this review as Im anxiously waiting on her to finish our weekly meal prepping so we can get back started. THIS IS THE MACHINE YOUR LOOKING FOR!! Its definitely worth the money, they could easily charge 2000+, easily. Sidenote the machine had a few scratches but Im assuming those come from the shipping plus one pulley roller had a small piece chipped off. But all and all those were miner things. I added a few in some pictures, and also a page from the instructions to show how easy it is to assemble. MARCY IS THE TRUTH!Update: 2 days after I received mine the price skyrocketed. I paid $1600+ the price has since more than doubled. As much as I love my Marcy I would definitely not pay close to $4000 dollars for it. I guess its about supply and demand at this point.

Overall very happy.
After a few months now I feel I can safely say it’s a great piece of equipment so far. The quality is pretty solid and feels like a professional gym machine, about as close as you can get without spending thousands.It took me two days to build, probably 15hrs or so. It’s pretty easy to assemble, it’s just very time consuming, lots of bolts and little parts. Organize everything and use a socket wrench.You can still do leg presses, you just have to lay down. The landmine addition has turned out to be a great asset as well.The benchpress bar can rock a little between the poles. I was surprised it wasn’t more sturdy. It’s still solid enough, but there is some sway there. Also as a tall person (6’3) I’ve found myself bumping my arms against the red support bars on chest and shoulder lifts. Not a huge deal, but it’s not ultra wide.
