If you are wanting to spend money on a home gym but don't want to take out a small mortgage to do so, then you really should consider a Marcy Smith machine.
The Marcy Smith machine range of equipment is all that a home gym needs to be. Prices range from just under $550.00 for the Marcy Smith machine Cage SM-6001 which is your beginner entry level unit which does exactly what is says on the box, to the $1700.00 Marcy Smith machine Diamond Elite for someone who takes their gym training a little more seriously.
Diversity is the key where home gym training is concerned and the Marcy smith machine home gym range do not let you down. It is possible for you to work on all the different muscle groups safely and comfortably using a multitude of varied exercise positions. You would have to pay twice as much as these machines to get this much of a workout from a comparable Smith machine. So it's fair to say that you get a lot of bang for your buck.
The Marcy smith machines have a weight capacity of up to 300lbs which means that it is ok for general weight training, however for anyone who is body building, this will not be sufficient. You can add weight attachments but this tends to make the machines react shakily when weights above 300lbs are used. So it's probably not advisable.
As most if not all home gym smith machines, the Marcy smith machine gym range has to be assembled. This to be honest has to be the worst part about the machines. The instructions aren't particularly clear and with the hundreds of parts needed to be fixed together, it is, to say the least, time consuming.
So to sum up, the Marcy Smith machine range of home gym equipment knows its place in the market and is not only happy being there. It does really well. So when looking at a Marcy smith machine, do not expect Bugatti Veyron products with Hyundai Accent prices, as you get what you pay for. They are cheaper than any other Smith Machines on the market, but this doesn't mean that they fall way below the standard of other machines. So if you want an all in one home gym that delivers on all levels then you can't go wrong with a Marcy Smith machine.
