How does resistance work?
The machine offers 15 resistance levels, from 10% to 150% of your body weight. To change levels, pull the spring-loaded pin on the weight selector handle and slide the selector to the level you want. The rollers should move freely from position 1 to position 15.

What are the dimensions and weight?
The Body Weight Home Gym measures 43 inches wide, 55 inches long, and up to 89 inches high at its tallest point. It weighs 216 lbs.

What is the maximum user weight?
The maximum user weight depends on the resistance level. Users up to 250 lbs can use the machine up to level 15, and users up to 300 lbs can use it up to level 14.

What comes with the machine?
The machine includes a revolving curl bar and a steel lat bar. You can also add a sport handle, an ab bar, or gym flooring exercise mats.

What should I do if the weight selector binds?
If the rollers bind between levels 1 and 8, lift the wooden platform and adjust the two front rubber bumpers up slightly. If they bind between levels 8 and 15, thread the press arm stop fully into the frame. If they still bind, loosen the first nut on the macro cable adjustment, turn the second nut counterclockwise until the rollers move freely, and then tighten the first nut again.

How do I assemble the machine?
Assembly involves 17 steps. Follow them in order, and use the included 3 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm Allen wrenches and the 5 mm wrench. Tighten the bolts as the manual instructs. Some joints should have a slight drag when you move them, so don’t overtighten. You can also watch the assembly video linked on the product page.

How do I remove cable slack?
Cables stretch over time, so check the slack periodically. For a large amount of slack, loosen the first nut on the macro cable adjustment, turn the second nut clockwise until the slack is removed, and then retighten the first nut. For a small amount of slack, turn the press arm stop counterclockwise and tighten the jam nut.

What safety precautions should I follow?
Read the entire manual before assembling or using the machine. Inspect and tighten all parts before each use, and never operate the machine if it isn’t working properly. Position it on a clear, level surface, and don’t use it near water or outdoors. Keep your hands away from moving parts, and wear running or training shoes and clothing that won’t catch in the machine. Don’t use attachments the manufacturer doesn’t recommend, and keep sharp objects away from the machine. Warm up before you train. If you feel dizzy, nauseous, or have chest pain, stop right away and consult a physician.

Who can use the machine?
Only one person should use the machine at a time. Keep children and pets away at all times, and don’t leave children unattended in the same room. Keep anyone else in the room at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from the equipment while you train. People with disabilities should only use the machine with a qualified person or physician in attendance. Consult a physician before starting any exercise program, especially if you’re over 35 or have a pre-existing health condition.

Can I use the machine in a commercial setting or outdoors?
No. The machine is designed for home use only and isn’t meant for commercial facilities. Don’t use or store it outdoors.

How do I maintain the machine?
Inspect the cables regularly for splitting, cracking, fraying, or flat spots, paying special attention to the cable ends. Replace any cable at the first sign of damage or wear. Check the snap links, swivels, handles, and weight stack pin for wear, and tighten any loose hardware. Wipe the guide rods with a dry cloth and apply a thin coat of Teflon-based lubricant periodically. Don’t place styrofoam or printed materials on the seat pads, and don’t leave items on them. Clean the frame and seat pad with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Don’t use solvents.
