Which multi-gyms does the leg press fit?
The leg press attaches to the Inspire M2, M3, and M5 multi-gyms. The manual is written for the 2014 versions of these machines. If your multi-gym is an older or newer model, contact our support team before you buy or install the leg press.

What’s included with the leg press?
The kit includes a base frame, an attachment arm, a press arm, a stabilizer arm, a foot plate, two wood seat bases, a seat handle, a floating pulley bracket, a back pad stem, a 3.5-inch pulley, a pulley mount, and two foot plate connector plates. It also includes the leg press cable, a cable adapter for your machine, spacers, a cable end, and a sleeve bushing. The manual has a full parts and hardware list you can check against your kit.

How much space does the leg press add?
With the leg press, the M2 measures 79 inches wide, 72 inches long, and 78 inches high. The M3 measures 74 inches wide and 73 inches long, and the M5 measures 88 inches wide and 124 inches long. Keep the machine away from walls and furniture, and keep bystanders at least 5 feet away while you train. We recommend placing a rubber mat underneath to protect wood flooring or carpet during assembly and use.

What tools do I need?
You’ll need a metric socket set with 16 mm, 17 mm, 18 mm, and 19 mm sockets, matching wrenches, and an adjustable wrench. The 4 mm, 5 mm, and 6 mm Allen wrenches come in the hardware pack. Check the parts list before you start.

How do I attach the leg press to an M2?
The attachment arm bolts to the M2 main base and the leg press base frame. The middle cable runs over and down from M2 pulley 12, and the leg press cable connects to the floating pulley bracket with the cable adapter. Pulleys 1 and 2 on the leg press are installed to route the cable. Follow the manual’s steps in order, and tighten the hardware as each step instructs.

How do I attach the leg press to an M3?
Start by removing the M10 × 95 mm bolt, the M10 × 75 mm bolt with its 3.5-inch pulley, and the 1-inch barrel spacer. Leave the M10 × 155 mm bolt in place, since you’ll reuse it. Disconnect the cable eyelet from the top beam plate and wrap the cable around M3 pulley 15. The M10 × 155 mm bolt comes with the M3, not the leg press kit.

How do I attach the leg press to an M5?
You’ll need to remove the lat upper cable and the items attached to it before you install the floating pulley bracket. Some items can drop quickly when you remove the cable, so be ready to catch them. Install pulley 21 into the leg press’s floating pulley bracket while routing the lat upper cable, then finish routing the cable and attach the U-bracket assembly. Then route the leg press cable to pulley 1 and secure it at the cable end fitting.

How do I set the seat and handles for my leg length?
The seat base and handles attach to one of two sets of holes on the leg press base frame. Use the holes marked for shorter legs or the holes marked for longer legs. Tighten the hardware, but don’t overtighten the seat base, or you may damage it.

How do I install the seat pads?
Place each orthopedic pad on its seat base and work the edge of the pad into the groove on all sides. Don’t use sharp objects during installation.

What safety precautions should I follow?
Keep children off the leg press at all times, and keep bystanders at least 5 feet away while it’s in use. Keep the leg press away from walls and obstructions, and use it only for its intended purpose. Don’t use attachments the manufacturer doesn’t recommend. Keep your hands and feet clear of the pinch points marked on the machine. Consult your doctor before starting any exercise program, and stop immediately if you experience shortness of breath, pain, or dizziness. Warm up before you train, and control the weight through the full range of motion.

Can I use the leg press outdoors or in a humid space?
No. The leg press is for indoor use only. Humidity can cause rust on some parts, which can affect how the machine works. Don’t use or store it outdoors.

How do I maintain the leg press?
Every week, inspect the links, pull pins, spring clips, and swivels, along with the cables and their fittings, and clean the upholstery. Every three months, check the decals, tighten any loose nuts and bolts, and inspect the anti-skid surfaces. Lubricate the seat sleeves and plastic slides. Once a year, clean and wax the glossy finishes. Replace the cables, belts, and connecting parts every two years. Inspect the cables for splitting, cracking, fraying, or flat spots, and replace any cable at the first sign of damage. Check the cable slack periodically and adjust tension as needed.

What warranty comes with the leg press?
The manual describes a limited lifetime warranty for the frame and welds, and limited lifetime coverage for parts and moving parts such as pulleys and cables. Warranty coverage applies to the original purchaser and isn’t transferable to a new owner. To file a claim, you’ll need your sales receipt, which shows the purchase date, model, and serial number. You can register your product at inspirefitness.com/pages/warranty-registration. Service should only be performed by an authorized retailer, since service by anyone else can void your warranty.

Where can I get replacement parts?
Request replacement parts on the Inspire Fitness part request page at inspirefitness.com/pages/part-request. Include your machine’s serial number, the leg press serial number if you have it, and the name of the part you need.

Does the leg press include a Centr membership?
Yes, the leg press includes 3 free months of Centr Digital Coaching with your purchase. Members get personalized recommendations and coaching from Centr’s team to support their movement, meals, and goals.
