XMARK Functional Trainer Cable Machine, Dual Weight Stack Cable Pulley Machine for Strength Training, Commercial and Home Gyms, and Rehab Facilities

Had this for almost a year now and it is a fantastic functional trainer. This thing is a super heavy-duty commercial grade functional trainer. assembled it weighs around 1000 pounds.

Value - 5 starsAssembly - 4 stars (plastics)Customer Support - 4 or 5 stars, they were great to deal with but I disagree with part of the design.Pros:- excellent manufacturing quality- great assembly experience- shipping create construction and packing- Pulleys are robust and smooth- operations very smooth- chin-up grips have the right balance of comfort and confidence- technical supportCons:- Cables- technical support- decorative plasticsThe Story:I have had the unit two days now. it arrived quickly via OD shipping. The truck used its hydraulic lift gate to unload the crate. The driver used his pallet jack (electric in my case) to roll it into my garage.The crate was screwed and latched down and very easy to open. everything was very well packed. After removing the parts from the crate my wife, two teen age children and my self took three house to fully assemble.To assemble I used three sizes of hex wrenches, two sizes of open end wrenches, a dead blow hammer, and a spud wrench. The spud wrench and hammer were not required but nice to have. The hardest thing to install was the plastic guards as they were very fiddly. The plates each weighting 20 lbs. (Pulley ratio...). They get very heavy after stacking all 44 plates, 22 on each side plus the "Pin" and Pulley Assembly making 230 usable weight on each side.After assembly we started to play around with the system and almost immediately one of the cables flopped off one of the pulleys and wedged to the side. I feel like the this was due to the cable being slack, XMARK doesn't believe that to be the reason. Regardless of the cable going off track all of the cable tension adjustment is fully used and bottomed out. I can feed 4 inches of cable slack out of the tension block. XMARK and I discussed on the phone, email, video, and pictures. They assured me this is how it is suppose to be and send me a video from the factory showing a unit they had with the same slack.

Great home gym! This thing is heavy duty!

The machine is great. You can do a bunch of different exercises. I put it in my gym where me and my clients can enjoy it. I highly recommend this machine i love it and so do my clients. Great buy!.

Good pulley system and smooth action, well built and heavy duty. Plastic guards around weights don’t fit right and I prefer to see the weight stack position anyway so I left them off. Otherwise it’s a 5 star review.
