To be specific about what I like about this home gym: the geometry, the angles, seat height adjustments, handles, leg cushions, pulleys, and overall build all add up to something that feels like a lot of thought was put into Body Solid EXM1500S single stack home gym. There are some machines that frustrate you when you don't get the full extension. Nothing is more frustrating to me than getting on a home gym, especially a lat machine where you don't get to reach all the way. This machine, even when benching, will allow for full extensions. Additionally, you don't waste time transitioning between exercises. The only pause in exercise you really need is the few seconds it takes to lean over and change the weight amount.
Exercises With The Body Solid EXM1500S single stack home gym
Leg Exercises – Leg lift for Quads is great. The standing one legged hamstring curl took a bit to get used, to but given the small size of the machine; it is worthwhile putting the time in.
Bench Press – Very smooth, and you get two hand positions, one for more inner pace and the other for more outer.
Lats/Back – This is where I believe this machine earns it keep. It provides a Lat pull down, and a seated row position. This was key to me and it performs as expected.
Shoulders/Arms – The curl bar that is included does have a static handle, so it is not too good for curls. You may need to purchase a bar that has rotating handles. Since I use dumbbells for these exercises, it did not matter too much. I am ordering a single rotating curl bar, so that my wife can add some exercises.
The Body Solid EXM1500S single stack home gym is a very study machine, and great for a home gym, with it's small footprint. I would recommend it to others looking for a smaller home gym with a fair price for the quality. Every motion is smooth and quiet. Very compact and the lifetime warranty is reassuring.
The body solid gym provides the solution to all of your personal fitness needs, in the comfort of your own home. The body solid exm1500s is perfect for the home where space is at a premium.
