Home gyms are a significant investment toward achieving your fitness goals. You have a major piece of equipment that works out every muscle in your body, and you burn calories while using it too.<\/p>

Yet, can you buy a home gym if you’re not even sure what to buy?<\/p>

Home gyms or “multi-gyms” are not one-size-fits-all machines. This single piece of equipment comes in many variations, each allowing you to work out your different muscle groups. Some are massive in size, while others are compact enough to fit in the corner of your home. And some are also a lot more expensive than you think.<\/p>

Before purchasing the best home gym<\/strong> and beginning your workout journey, here are some factors you should consider when buying a multi-station home gym.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What to Consider When Buying a Home Gym<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Considering their function, we can assume that multi-gyms are more pricey than your average workout bench.<\/p>

However, the prices can vary, depending on the type of machine you buy. For example, a Marcy Smith Cage Machine<\/a><\/strong> with multiple workout options will<\/em> cost more than Marcy’s 150-lb Multifunctional Home Gym Station<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>

Given that they’re both from the same brand, we can assume that the quality will be equal. But don’t assume the same of other cheap models. Low-tier models don’t last long. The soldering gives way, and the cable quality deteriorates within a few uses.<\/p>

If you want to buy a reliable multi-gym, you will have to invest a fair amount, so you don’t regret your purchase later. If not, look for multiple payment options.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A multi-gym comes with many parts, including weights, pulleys, adjustable seats, and much more. These components are far easier to break than the non-moving parts because you use them more frequently and with more intensity.<\/p>

Before buying a multi-gym, do two things.<\/p>

First<\/strong><\/span>, look for the brand whose manufacturer is based in your country. Remember, while the retailer will sell you the home gym, they won’t do anything about the warranty. The brand handles that. And if the manufacturer is not based in your country, you’ll waste a lot more time and energy because you’ll need to contact them on their time. Not to mention that if they specially manufacture a component, it’ll take longer to get to you.<\/p>

Also, if you buy a cheaper model from a small brand that doesn’t have a customer service set-up, you’ll probably end up wasting money on something you won’t likely get a replacement for. Look for the warranty and the company policy for your potential choices. Choose a supplier that’s well-reviewed and one with the most extended warranty.<\/p>

Second<\/strong><\/span>, check the company’s reviews for customer service experience. This may seem like an afterthought, but customer service lets you know everything <\/em>about the brand, its quality, and its dedication to customer satisfaction.<\/p>

If you see people complaining about missed calls, mismanagement, being asked for more money, skip that brand. Also, double-check any brand that only has five-star ratings. A majority of big brands have five-star ratings, but customer opinion is often all over the place. If a company only has five stars and short generic reviews, they’re more likely fake.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The typical multi-gym utilizes a solid, strong metal frame. The weights are stacked using a pulley system, and all weights are hefty and sturdy. In short, just about all components are designed to be solid and durable.<\/p>

But, what you want to pay attention to is the more minor elements to check for quality.<\/p>

Parts like pulleys, chains, cables, and soldering should be clean and high-quality. You can check those details before buying by zooming in on the high-resolution images. If not, you can also go to the store and check out whichever gym you want. And if that’s not possible, reviewers often include such details in their comments.<\/p>

Also, when buying a home gym, double-check the technology added to the machine. There are plenty of multi-gyms out there that use a system to apply resistance, such as the Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A multi-gym, at first glance, will seem quite basic and similar to other options. But each multi-gym offers a different selection of exercises. Here are some extensions you’ll find in almost all models:<\/p>
