What reviewers didn't like

Like a lot of other home gyms that use weight plates, the most obvious drawback is that the weights are a separate purchase. So not only are you dishing out an investment for the machine, but you’re going to have to open your wallet to get weight plates to fit this gym.
There are some things we can point out that could be better. First, if you are tall, this machine can restrict some of your movements.
It is not easily transportable, making it difficult to carry to a new place. The heavy weight of the machine also makes it tough to move around
The machine does not include weight plates of any kind.
Difficult to assemble
