Weider workout machines have been garbage for as long as I can recall. You're better off spending more money to get a better set up or putting the money toward a gym membership.

I bought this last time from Kohl's. Actually got a great deal because they canceled my first order and gave me $80 in Kohl's cash. Anyway even with getting it for less than $200 it still wasn't worth it. I took my free weights system down and put this one up. Only to find out their are a minimal number of exercises you can do. You can't change the angle of the bench press or flies. I'm 6'2", which makes using the leg portion a waste of time. I'm a bigger guy and the seating is quite small and cumbersome. Needless to say I went back to my old Weider free weights system I bought 20 years ago in college.
Go for some adjustable dumbbells and a cheap bench. While more expensive, maybe 1.5x, it's a very versatile setup, more compact and is a buy it for life. I suspect this will be garbage in a few years so the cost savings is an illusion
I got this last year from Walmart for $250 around. It okay for basic workouts, but trash if you expect to do more. The pull cables aren't that great, the distance is short and the plastic covering around it doesn't last. In just a month of using it, the plastic around the cables started to mess up. I called Weider support, they dont answer the phones at all, but when its time to for an extended warranty they blow up your phone trying to get you to pay for that extra warranty.
This crap will eventually go down in price when things get back to normal.

Def right link? I get no results found.
Same here...
Same here. Brickseek seems unreliable for this item, but in fairness, Walmart's site has them all as "Unknown", at least for all the stores near me.
Sounds like you got your workout
