Body Solid Exm1500s Home Gym

A review of the Body Solid EXM1500s Home Gym

The Body-Solid EXM1500s is an excellent home Gym and in this brief article I will explain why.
A quality home Gym must be compact but versatile. Large or bulky home gyms take up too much space and can be very complicated to use. The Body-Solid EXM1500s is reasonably compact and loaded with enough features to give most home gym enthusiast a complete workout. The EXM1500s comes pre-loaded with a 160 lb weight stack in 10 lb increments for rapid adjustment so no large or bulky weights are required. Simply insert the pin to select your weight. While a selectorized 160 lb stack may not be enough for advanced athletes, most people will find this to be more than enough weight.

Full Body Workout

The Body-Solid Exm1500s is a "Complete Home Gym"

From a surprisingly small footprint (not a lot of floor space), the EXM1500s offers enough variety for a complete full body workout. The seat pad is firm and adjustable and the supported back rest assist in proper posture throughout your workout. The multi-grip press arm allows you to work your chest, triceps and shoulders from a variety of angles and complete range of motion. Speaking of motion, the feel is natural without the jerkiness often associated with lesser quality machines. The leg extension bar (included) is equipped with comfortable foam rollers allowing the user to work the quadriceps with with ease and comfort. A few high rep sets and you will be on your way to a great workout.
The EXM1500s includes an ab strap which when attached to a cable on your machine allows you to work your abs with resistance. Many people find this superior to old fashioned crunches however you can easily combine resistance crunches on your Exm1500s with other ab movements to give yourself the highly coveted washboard abs.

Lat Bar on the Exm1500s

Reach up and pull down

No home gym would be complete without a lat bar and here the Body-Solid EXM1500s comes through yet again allowing you to work your shoulders, back and lats with ease. Use the lat bar from a standing position to do tricep pushdowns and really bring out the horseshoe look to those lagging triceps. After working your back with the lat bar, attach the straight bar (also included) to the lower pully and your ready to blast those biceps with bicep curls and wrist curls. Mix it up a little and your doing shrugs, upright rows and bent over rows. The Body-Solid EXM1500s is truly a complete home workout system.

Quality

The Body Solid EXM1500s is a Quality Home Gym

No home Gym is worth the investment if it breaks down and isn't reliable and in this area the Body-Solid EXM1500s really comes out on top. In fact, a major consumer magazine rated theBody-Solid EXM1500s as their #1 Best Buy. Its just that good. Additionally, the EXM1500s is backed by a "Lifetime Warranty on Everything. Forever. Period", how many other home gyms can make that claim? When you chose the Body-Solid EXM1500s you know that you have made an excellent investment that will reward you for years to come.

Price

The Body Solid EXM1500s is reasonably priced.

You can easily pay over a thousand dollars for infomercial home gyms that don't offer the variety and quality of the EXM1500s and then sell the infomercial junk at a yard sale next year. In fact, most people who go for the hype instead of the quality end up frustrated. You won't see the highly rated in many for sales ads for a reason,,, people why chose them actually use them.

Now I tend to shop around and am always looking for a good deal and I have found the best prices on the Body-Solid EXM1500s at Big Fitness and Amazon. While both of these retailers advertise the EXM1500s for the same price, there is one big difference, Big Fitness will ship your Body-Solid EXM1500s for no additional cost. That's right, you get the same low price as the next lowest prices online retailer,,, but "shipping is included".
Currently BigFitness has the Body-Solid EXM1500s on sale at $830.00 on the link below and once again, the shipping is included.

With the holidays coming, a quality home gym is a gift that will continually give back as much as you put in to it for years to come.

One final word, any home gym will require assembly and the EXM1500s is no exception. You should expect to spend from 2 to 3 hours assembling your EXM1500s however if you follow the instructions in order, you will be getting in your first workout in no time. For a little additional fun, invite a friend over to join you in assembling your gym and then workout together. Involving your family in your home fitness program is another great way to build self esteem and healthy lifestyles.

I also wrote an article called How to get the most from your Home Gym Equipment which I highly recommend to anyone seriously considering a Home Gym.
