SPARTLeg Press Hack Squat Machine with Weight Storage Posts, 2000lbs Capacity Professional Adjustable Leg Machine for Home Gym, Hip Sled for Leg Glute Muscles Shaping, Full Lower Body Workout

I originally rated this machine with 3 stars but after using it for a week I have decided to up it to 4 stars. My original review was done right after I put it together and I was frustrated with the instructions manual or lack there of. I have used this leg press this week loaded with 500 lbs and it is solid. No wobble or weakness. There is room on the carriage for twice as many 45lb plates and maybe more, so 1,000lbs shouldn’t be any problem for this machine to handle. I am still concerned about the warranty though. The instructions don’t even have the company name (SPART) anywhere on the brochure. No address, phone number, website or email. I hope it is legitimate.I have to admit that this company is legitimate. After complaining about a safety pin that was too short for the machine, the company immediately sent out a new safety pin that was much longer and sturdier. They have been a pleasure to work with and the leg press/hack squat works perfectly. Very heavy duty but yet the right size for my workout room. I am giving this machine and company 5 stars!

Solid equipment with smooth movement under load. Definitely worth the price. That being said the assembly instructions are very basic, undescriptive and have only tiny pictures to show the way it goes together. Out of the box they try to pre-place bolts through some pieces where they will attach. However, in at least two places they put carriage bolts where normal ones belonged. I'm mech inclined so I deduced what needed to be switched around with the bolts not pre-placed. Also, there were five A12 plates used to reinforce where bolts were to attach pieces. Two of the five had no placement that was even shown on the directions. I figured out where they most likely went. The inside of A7/A6 to attach A8/A9 (pics to help others that buy this). It is solid and well-built equipment. Just poor instructions that prolong assembly.

Works great in my home gym, matches my other equipment, little noisy but smooth and the price was right! I assembled alone. Had the best qualities of other more expensive machines like head rest taller on back board, extra load & storage posts, an adjustable calf raise T-Bar, multi angle foot and back platforms, good handle placements lots of lock out positions and the bottom safety allows for as deep as I can go. I’m 5’7” no negatives for me.

This machine’s ‘start position’ is NOT designed for optimal results. Ideally it should be in a near lockout position. Your machine begins the rep in a deep knee position. Poor design!!I’ve tried to contact seller for a remedy, no reply! Is there anything I can buy to remedy (fix) this negative problem?Is it possible for someone to respond to me? What good are reviews if nobody replys?

I have a small studio gym that I do personal training out of. This machine is a perfect fit. The craftsmanship is excellent. The directions need more detail in explanation but above all that, the customer service was outstanding. This shipment comes in 4 boxes on ground shipping. If you get all four on the same day, your lucky. I got mine on 3 different days so while I was confused and worried that my order was lost in transit, customer service walked me through finding where all my boxes were at. I felt like I was bugging them but they were exceptional in their service. I highly recommend this machine because of the Quality and also customer service.

I have had it for more than a year, and I am very happy wth it.

Awesome

Pros: Steady and solid machine, you can fit lot of plates and work heavy, slides well, doesn’t takes too much space.Cons: Leg platform is not wide for big guys and leg press starting position is not the best for tall and big guys, I’m 6 2” and barely putting feet on the platform, would be great to have more customization options to control stand platform and have wider platform for wider squat or leg press.Overall great machine.
