I bought this directly from someone else, before Amazon dropped the price, but I would definitely recommend this item. It’ll take you maybe 3 hours to assemble it. Besides the fact that I did have to get a part replaced that was not manufactured correctly (the rod that goes into the weight plates), it seems to be a good quality piece of equipment. The Free Motion cable cross machine is likely the best machine you can get, but for a home gym, it’s not worth the additional $1500 or so. It ships in 6 separate boxes.

I purchased this item about 6 weeks ago, and just got delivery. Of note, this item ships directly from China! Hope the parts I need to correct it come, not only come quickly…but just show up. This should tell you enough about fit and finish. But it not…..here you go- The one selector rod which comes assembled into the top weight does not align with the nylon guides on the top of that plate…which makes the rod hit the weight stack on the way down. Tried flipping it around, and it hit the other side of the stack. I bent the rod somewhat into shape using some leverage (bend at base to keep rod straight) , and now it sort of works. Hopefully when (and if) the part comes, it will resolve the issue. Some other notes. The pulleys are cheap and have a lot of friction in their play, so the top 40 pounds does not work smoothly (actually none of it is smooth but the top 40 pounds don’t want to fall back down). You have to have the arms up in the vertical position to change out pins (which is annoying when you want to change weight in the same exercise (the cables get to tight when the arms are lowered, thus it raises the top plate when the selector pin is removed, and it won’t go back in). I tried to remedy this by giving some slack in the cables, but the cable is not long enough to do this. It needs three set screws to hold it in to place and any slack in the cable would not allow the cable to attach to the top set screw of three (and i am not willing to rely on two thirds of the Chinese fabricated support). I would recommend spending an extra grand to get better quality. Trust me on this one. I am highly disappointed

This machine is not worth the price. I was expecting much, much better performance than it delievers. It is definitely not characteristic of how a $[...] exercise machine should operate. The action is harsh and very unsmooth. Friction is apparent to the point where I had to wait for the handle attachment to “catch-up” with my hands. I have used $[...] weight machines that operated more smoothly. I contacted the manufacturer, Body Flex Sports, and emailed them many pictures and vidoes to see if I had assembled something incorrectly. I was told that I had assembled it correctly, but that the machine “is what it is” and there was nothing they could or would do. Very disappointing and frustrating. I would not recommend this machine to anyone. The only positive thing about this whole transaction has been Amazom[...]. The unit was originally shipped to the wrong address, and was missing parts but all in all Amazon has come through and made it right.
