This gym is an excellent choice if you're on a budget and want a compact yet high-quality unit. The Body Solid EXM 1500S is centered on a 160 lb. weight stack, adjustable in 10 lb. increments, and stacked neatly without plates and bars scattered around.
You have access to over 30 training exercises including lat pull downs, triceps press downs, ab crunches, leg extensions and more.
The frame is heavy guage powder coated tubular steel and it also comes with tear-proof vinyl seating and padding.
The Body Solid EXM1500S is compact and yet built with extremely high quality parts - evidenced by the lifetime warranty on everything.
The EXM 1500S was recommended by Consumer Reports and users give it 5 Stars out of 5 Overall at Epinions with one user commenting:
"The quality of all the parts, including the enameled frame is very good. And the mechanism requires minimal care, like wiping it down monthly, and applying a very light coat of lubricant on the weight guides every few months.
The operation is smooth and whisper quiet. The seat is comfortable enough, and I can say after 2 years seems to hold up very well. Again, speaking to the quality of the materials. " - Daleb, Epinions
If I had less than $1000 to spend on a home gym and wanted one that would last me a very long time, the Body Solid EXM 1500S would be one of my first choices.
