I don't have the opportunity to try all those lines of Body Solid and I'm not a fan of Startac either actually  :-\

When I click on the Commercial page and under freeweight machines I see 8 pieces that that gym has: http://www.bodysolid.com/Commercial/Body-Solid/Freeweight-Machines

When I click on the home machine page: http://www.bodysolid.com/Home/Body-Solid/Freeweight-
Machines
I get the same machines with same article number so I'm not sure what you're trying to say here?


You have to click on the icons above the pictures under where it says browse by product brand, you'll see a window come down

I know but that still doesn't let me try the products ofcourse. I just get to see them.
I clicked on the bodysolid brand to show you what we have in that gym here and that the commercial and home line equipment are not different

Of course you can't try them out, you have a visit a dealer.  Of course if you're not in the US, that's a big no no

No I'm not in the US.
But what was your point of pointing out the dropboxes after I told you that the home and commercial equipment are the same when you said that the gym might have tried to cut cost and bought home equipment instead of commercial equipment?

I think this statement is much more interesting: "the commercial and home line equipment are not different"
BTW, I see this brand is also sold in the UK

Don't spend $50, let alone $400, on any piece of equipment that limits you to basically one exercise.

You can do standing raises with a dumbell or barbell.

Haha, we just agreed we don't apologise here!!
But they have the same article numbers, check out the links I posted to see the difference between commercial and home

Dank je wel Mars. Maar Zwart-Wit van de Frank Boeijen Groep was beter in de 80-er jaren!!
Heb je geen Normaal - Oerendhard om Vince stil te krijgen?

I bought a bodysolid squat rack last year for my homegym,and as i was bolting it all together i put the weight plate holders onto the side of the rack,tightened the bolts up by finger then got the ratchet on them.As i`m ratcheting it up i start to think surely it should be tight by now,there was only a thread or two that needed tightening,so i look round to the side where the nut is and see the steel is crushed in.All from using a ratchet.I then checked to see where the rack was made and it said made in china.Its cheap shitty steel from china that they use to make the equipment with,not very safe when you think of what it is used for.

Crownshep: did you get to use the rack anyway? Did they replace it or you never filed a complaint?

I bought it off fitness superstore website here in the uk,and after numerous e-mails from me that never got a reply,and phone calls that kept promising to send a replacement that never came,i said fuck it,i`ll have to use it anyway.One problem of buying off the internet.It stood firm when i`ve had 4 plates on the bar on the rack but its always in the back of your mind that if the steel is bending just from tightening up a bolt,whats gonna happen when you have hundreds of pounds in weight above your head.

Except the weight but if you send me a PM, I'll give you a Getbiggers discount
Vince can you send me a free evaluation model before I decide on purchase?
