Selected User Reviews For Marcy Olympic Cage Home Gym System – Multifunction Squat Rack, Customizable Training Station SM-8117, One Size
It is difficult for me to understand why they One of the pieces that helped me complete my home gym was this item. As COVID denied me access to my summer events and training, I decided like many others to build my own gym at home. This is the one I use for my bench press, incline bench press, decline bench press, pull up bar, squat rack, and found an even more ingenious use for The only thing that I haven't figured out is dip bars, but I'm confident that I will soon. In my opinion, this rack is perfect for me since my maximum press, ever, is 315 lbs. When I squat over 300 pounds, I use a spotter even though the rack seems to be able to handle the load The pro's are The assembly of this product is super easy. The entire thing took me about 25 minutes to construct. That vacuum packaging for the bolts took quite a bit of time. I could have finished this job in 15 minutes. It looks nice with the powder coat and chrome. The product makes use of a weight limit, which has been indicated in the description, so don't be disappointed. It tends to roll off the pads of the bars (weights). Adding a shrink tube to the bar fixed it easily. This is done.
The process is easy, but it does take some time to do it correctly. For the price, I think this rack is pretty good. It has had little to no wear over the past few months that I have used it daily.
I lift by myself so I'm very confident this rack will stand the test of time. A nice addition at the top of the ladder is the pull-up bar
Cons- You will not be able to rack more than 300 pounds as described in the description. You should get a bigger rack if you're going to do a lot of weight lifting. as long as you keep your weight under 300 pounds, the rack is adequate There is no sense in adding two more spots to hold additional plates since they do not work very My own experience has been that they don't work for me. In just one week, the rubber under the resting area for the barbell came off. It doesn't make a big difference except that it's louder now when I rack the barbell during bench and squat exercises. Generally speaking, this chair sways a little left to right, however it is very sturdy leading and following. As a whole, I am very pleased The app is useful to me every day. With my home gym, I got rid of my gym memberships and am so glad I bought it. This is a worthwhile purchase.
Having waited for months for this to arrive, I was delighted to see that it would not take long to arrive. But when it did arrive, one of the four front racks that attaches to the clips was missing, as well as the clips. It was almost a week past the delivery date. The call back feature of Marcy fails to call me back when I have contacted them about replacements multiple times. If I do not opt into the call back feature, I usually find myself on the 12th or 15th slot for an agent, which leads me to believe that many people are having issues. Overall, the product is decent and will work for a home gym if you receive all the pieces. It's hard to impress me when it comes to customer service.
It has a capacity of around 350 lbs. I'm using this half cage. There is no need to worry about anything breaking, as everything I need is sturdy enough to withstand indoor use. I shall nevertheless. There are not the same mouths (where you set the weights back down) that they showed me in the picture. When lifting the weights off their stands, you shouldn't lift unevenly or else the plates could fall off. Instead, the plates have a thin small bar that goes around the sides instead, and if you lift unevenly, the plates The entire safety mount came off as I was warming up with low weight and benching. It was a blessing to have a friend over at the time to assist me in replacing it inside of its holes. You shouldn't use this. It's risky, and it's not what it's advertised to be. As far as I know, the only way I can fix the piece is to solder it permanently While everything works very well, it is still very risky if this is all that is done.
Basic workout cage that does the job well. The installation instructions could have been a bit better, but I do a lot of DIY work, so I know what I mean. Once I had completed the assembly, I realized I had two parts swapped R for This may be due to the labels being incorrect or the perspective of what is left and right being different. Due to the holes for attaching the arm sticking inside, I can no longer use it to hold weights. The item arrived undamaged, and I was pleased with how well it was packaged.
It is nice to have a half rack weight cage for Olympic weightlifting. I was able to assemble the unit in 45 minutes with only a ratchet wrench. It looks nice and is well built. It is the perfect size for those who don't have much Solid, but has some movement (less than one inch) side to side. In order to be on the safe side, I wouldn't put more than 300 pounds on it. The packaging came in one huge Both the outside and the inside of the car are in perfect condition.
I need to be careful doing pull ups. It would have been better if we had an extra day for shipping. They use FedEx, which is awful. In the event that you have a smooth floor, pull-ups will be more difficult A rack that is used with a kip, but without attached weights, will move and it will As soon as I put some weight plates on, it was no problem. rack may not be the best of the best, hence the low price. However, I feel it is a useful addition to a home gym for someone like me who is not a guru.
The rack works well for the price it is offered at. Although the instructions could be better, assembling this item was not too difficult. During this time, one of the bar catches has broken (it is broken where the bend in the metal happens to be). In less than 3 days, I received a new one from customer service. This rack does not need to be anchored (approximately 200 lbs at 6 feet). The metal I prefer should be a larger gauge. Although I'm aware of what I'm paying, I understand what I'm getting for the money.
