Easy to assemble, works as advertised
This bike is very impressive for the price if it was metal I I would forget the other flaws the display is not much to talk about so I won't the odometer only goes to 33 miles 7 short 4 me I would have paid a extra $100 if that and the display was bigger and better and you can hear a little noise but not loud enough to be annoying ride real nice love the freaking 44 pound fly wheel it makes the ride real smooth like heaven the post for the sit is loose since I am being honest but all exercise bike sit post are but I found away to make it real sturdy I am happy with the purchase had a Bowflex and was going to go back that way glad I didn't
Bought the leg extension but a pressed bearing ring was missing. They jumped and sent me all three sizes to make sure I got the right one. Solid machine too.
This weight bench is sturdy, stable, comfortable and mobile. Besides doing bench presses, it's great for incline bench presses, arm curls, and leg lifts (which is why I bought it). The height is perfect for me, adjustable, and the leg lift attachment is very smooth. I use it every day. The only feature that could be better is the curl attachment tray. While the tray is stable, it would be easy to pinch your hands and fingers on the tray prongs. But I could tell by the photos that might be the case before I bought it. Before I used it the first time I wrapped a short piece of HVAC insulation around each prong and that resolved that issue for me. If not for that, I would have given it a solid "5 star".
Great bench!, would definitely recommend.
Altas Strength Home Gym Workout Adjustable Bench AL-4006
Solid bench. Love the heft. Could improve the ease of adjusting heights (lots of turns in the hand screws for legs and incline)
I looked a lot at the other popular 2 plate loaded cable leg extension/curl machine and wasn't quite sold on them so I took the plunge with the AL-169 despite there not being many reviews out there. For the most part I'm very satisfied with the purchase.
First off the base is very solid when assembled. The wide flat feet definitely aid the stability of the base while still allowing a fairly generous overall footprint. The back and seat mostly feel solid as well. The seat sometimes will rock a little bit on the adjustment pivot but if you anchor yourself down with the grab handles you will eliminate that little bit of movement. The leg roller is also very solid. A 10/10 for me. I often do single leg extensions and there is no unwanted movement on the roller bar at all. My only complaint is that if you do not have yourself adjusted proper in an exercise and extend the roller out too far its possible to leverage the weight up in a way that the weight horn/leg gets stuck up in the air.
It's pretty obvious that leg extension was the primary focus when this machine was engineered. It's a great leg extension piece. The large dial could probably use another notch or two but with the leg roller having a 360 degree dial I think most people will be able to get dialed in regardless. The motion and resistance are exactly what you want/expect.
The lying leg curl almost seems like an afterthought. While the backrest folds down and is very solid flat its the adjusting of the leg roller and pivot that gets a bit tedious. This is where I feel you'll notice the padding on the machine, while not low quality foam, could use a little more thickness. This is also where if you are not careful or have it adequately adjusted it is very easy to lift the leg roller up high enough and overextend the cable causing the weight horn leg(which angle does not do it any favors in this instance) to fully extend and get rested on the top end. Little awkward feeling when the weight just suddenly disappears at the top of the movement. I really enjoy lying leg curls but I find them a little problematic on this machine. That being said if you get everything adjusted right they do hit the spot. Some people may want a little pad to fill the gap between the seat and back but I find it okay as it is.
The hip thrust on this machine genuinely surprised me. I have often left hip thrusts out of my routines over the years because they're not always the most convenient exercise to setup but now I feel I have the tool to bring them back in. Very easy to get into position and again with the 360 degree leg roller its just very easy to slide in and bang some thrusts out. The padding here although on the thinner side doesn't pose any issues for me comfort wise but again I could see where maybe some people add a little pad on the seat for their back in this instance.
Overall happy with the purchase and still give it a 5/5. Anything I pointed out I do not see as a big enough issue to look for something else. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better machine at this price point.
Very sturdy gym. Looks like full commercial quality!
Heavy duty functional bench. Definitely recommend.
I love this unit. Great upgrade from the Marcy bench.
Absolutely love this leg extension machine. It operates very smoothly and is of high quality. Excellent strength curv.
Great bench. Padding is better than any gym I have been to. I definately recommend this.
Love the equipment
Limited Combo - Smith Machine AL-3061B + Bench AL-4026
The Leg Curl & Extension Station functions well beyond my expectations. I highly recommend this for anyone building a home gym. Super solid piece of equipment.
Also, great customer service.
I should've bought this the day I bought my AL-3059 smith machine. This is a game changer for sure. Fits perfectly, high quality steel construction.
Estoy súper fascinada me siento más motivada y en la comodidad de mi casa
Solid bench with lots of functionality. Especially good for those that want the most with given space
This item is gym quality! Every itme arrived in excellnt shape without a scratch. The instructions were spot on, only took me four hours to assemble.
I bought the AL-3107 because I wanted a smith machine that can function as a power rack and has a cable system. I was trying to find a machine that could fold up when not in use and didn’t need to be mounted on the wall and this checked all those boxes. It’s a solid rack and the folding feature really is great for maximizing your space if you want to fold it up when not in use. The extra features like the land mine and multi grip pull up bar are great to have too. The dip station bars are nice to have too.
Assembly was pretty easy and I labeled every part with the part number in the manual before I started to make my life easier, highly suggest doing that.
Everything about the rack itself is well made and sturdy. The cable system attachments however are pretty flimsy or not well designed. I replaced the lat pull down bar, the curl bar, and the two handles with better ones from REP and they are a good upgrade. I also bought REP j-cups that fit the 2” square posts. Despite that, I’m very happy with the rack and would recommend to anyone wanting those features of a smith-power rack with cable system and needs it to fold in to a smaller size when not in use.
