This is a repeat of an earlier deal that went OOS.

As noted by Fryth [link], this machine comes with a pulley setup that offers 1:2 resistance ratio. So, each 165 pound weight stack offers 82.5 pounds of resistance.
Top Comments
1. Weight - This thing is as heavy as you'd expect. It comes on a pallet with three large boxes and a bunch of boxes full of weights. You might be able to move the pieces by yourself but really should be at least two people. It took 4-5 hours to get fully put together.
2. It comes with more resistance that i expected. I debated on ordering additional weight from the manufacturer Day 1 but glad I didn't.
3. Motion - Smoother than i expected. The cable move really smoothly for a non-commercial piece of equipment. For tricep pushdowns it is a little short but it's doable and there many alternatives.
4. Bench - For me, it is basically garbage. It's far too short for practical use and I ended up getting a regular size one off Amazon that is much better.
5. Wall poster - Since i'm not the only one in the house to use it I got a $10 wall poster from Amazon that has a bunch of different types of exercises.
6. Flooring - Costco had some really nice 1/2" foam gym padding I got to put this and other equipment on. If you're even considering it, doing the flooring first will be a hell of a lot easier than after.
Overall i'm very happy with it as it substitutes many other pieces of equipment, and is quick to switch exercises. Hope this was helpful
All the best,

Also, if it's not too much to ask can you please confirm the height from the ground up to the highest point (I assume center of pull-up bar)? Is it in-fact 82.5?" I only have exactly 83" when my garage opens. Won't be utilizing the pull-up bar, just want to make sure it clears.
There seems to be lots of discussion about floor mats for these. Any problem just setting it directly on my concrete garage floor? It's not like we're doing deadlifts or slamming anything on the ground with a functional trainer...
After measuring, my unit is a tad under 82.5 inches. I do have mine sitting right on the concrete floor of the garage without any issues, been that way for almost a year now.

Has anyone used a generic add-on weight from Amazon or the like with this machine? Any recommendations would be very much appreciated.
