 Great for the price! July 6, 2010

I recently purchased the product for my home I was a serious lifter in my teens through about 30. Now knocking on 40 in a few months I started back in my poor home gym about a year ago and have had this product for about 4 months and love it. I already had about 355 lbs of free weights and dumbbells so it was a perfect fit. My only complaint is the bench is large and the leg attachment does not separate from the bench. So when transitioning from bench to no bench it is a pain and the constant moving of the bench loosens the screws and they have to be constantly tightened. Also moving the bench to decline etc. involves a threaded screw pin which also slows the flow of moving things around. The bench is good for benching and the preacher curl attachment works great. I may purchase a lighter bench that adjusts and moves more fluidly and is lighter. Overall for the money you can not beat the purchase. You also get the attachments lat bar, etc., that would add up if purchased seperatley. It did take me about two or three days after work to put it together.

The MD9010G rates well with me. from the beginning of the transaction. I bought the item it arrived one week later. It ships from Industry City, CA. and I live in Naples, FL. so it had to cross the entire nation. The shipping number that Amazon will give you to track the package will not work. You must call CEVA the shipper and get a tracking number that you can use to follow this item. also give them a phone number so the can deliver by appointment. IF you fail to make an appointment and they have to redeliver it will be very expensive, CEVA telephone number is 1 800 592 7489. they will set you up properly. I began to assemble with my wife, An invetory is neeed first, I was missing some items, however was able to assemble and use the gym. Reading the other concerns clued me into what to look for. Follow the instructions and put all the screws together loose until it tells you to tighten and you will have no alignment problem ( NO DRILLING AND NO BENDING)... The seat back was dented but after a day the foam expanded.... WD 40 was recommeded in the manuel and works to eliminate all binding and noise. The hardware will be coated heavily in a packing grease but that is good because the bolts wont rust and you simply have to wipe everything down once complete. There is no balance issue with the bar on my machine and the unit required a small section of rubber floor matting under one corner to level it. It is So very smooth and steady in all aspects with each exercise. It is top quality and works well within the limits as far as weight capacity... I feel it will work great as a home machine and will hold up to working a few hours a day but not in a facility where it would be used by many different people for 8-12 hours a day. Definely a job for the mechanically inclined and will take about 6 hours for two people to complete.
 I would have paid more for better quality May 25, 2010

This may be a good gym for its price, but it's not nice enough to replace a gym membership.
I did not expect the smith rack to be on at least a 15 degree slope toward the back. The back set of weights used for all cable exercises does not move smoothly on the vertical chrome box track causing jerky resistance. A linear bearing should have been used in this location! I will try WD-40, but the movement is rough and both sides have to be perfectly balanced with weight to prevent the plastic sleeve from sticking. The cable motion is also poor. The seated chest fly range of motion does not go far enough back to properly workout, but can be used without hitting the smith bar. I am 6'3" and I hit the top of the smith rack at the top of my squat. The center bench needs to have wheels to assist moving, the rubber feet keep falling off when I slide the bench into position. The chrome slider bar began flaking after the first adjustment of the bench, movement is difficult and needs WD-40. A liner bearing would have been nice here too. The weight holders are all plastic and seem cheap. The smith bar is nice, I like that the bar has a lot of independent movement up and down between the left and right sides. They included chain links with a center nut rather than the chain links with a spring that allow quick replacement of accessories. The overall structure of the gym is nice, but it's the small size, cheap accessories and lack of design detail that cause buyer's remorse.
I built this gym by myself which is a small miracle. The directions are pretty horrible. I am an engineer and a contractor so can follow instructions, but the exploded diagrams have poor resolution and are hard to follow. I was also very careful when sorting the bolts which I'm sure was a huge help.
There are many places to hang weights on this gym; I should have bought more than 355-lbs of weights. I also need to find a simple bench with wheels to replace the one that is included. I will use the included bench for it's accessory features off to the side.
I use it often. May 7, 2010

I was originally just looking for a olympic bench press with safety catches. Then i found this. I paid $650 with free shipping from amazon. so dont pay too much. Has safety catches for free weight bench. lat bar seems almost pointless. I really am not sure if they expect me to hook both cables to the lat bar or just one but i just do pull ups on my power tower instead. cable crossovers are nice but i am 5'10" and sometimes hit the stopping point doing the crossovers. Cant really go too much below lower chest level with both cables at the same time. Bench is portable and nice and wide for shoulder support during your bench press. assembly is hard. took me about two 6 hour days. (beer included). This thing is pretty big so make sure you have plenty of room. I will admit first thing i would do when i first got it assembled was show it off to my friends. Does not come with weights or olympic bar just the smith machine bar.

I had been searching for a smith machine and found the marcy Diamond. What a great price and it comes with the pullys for pulldowns. It arrived in 3 boxes, one was really heavy. Took all day to put it together. You have to seach for the parts because they do not tell you what is in which box. Otherwise it wasn't too bad putting it together. Very well made. Wife and I work out daily. So far everything works great. The only thing I do not like is that I cannot use the bench with the back support to do shoulder presses. You will need to buy olympic weights.
