MARCY PRO Power Cage Home Gym & Adjustable Weight Bench, Foldable, High & Low Cable Pulley System

Extremely satisfied with this purchase. Was a little sceptical at first being such a large purchase but after putting it together I am glad I did. Product is well built and sturdy. Vast capabilities of different exercises. Took me just about 5.5 hours to put together by myself. When I unboxed everything I felt overwhelmed at first, but once I layed it all out and got started things started to flow. All the nuts and bolts are put on these cardboard layout diagrams and arranged in order for each step which simplified things a GREAT deal. Step five with the pulley system confused me a bit but it out after awhile. My advice would be connecting both ends of each cable and build pulley's around cables. There are no written instructions just pictures so if you have issues reading diagrams I suggest getting help from someone that can. Not many tools are needed, it comes with Allen wrenches needed. All you will need is a 17 and 19 mm crescent or socket wrench. An adjustable wrench works well too. I look forward to many years of use out of this piece of equipment.

Let me first start off by saying this cage is amazing - but the shipping process for this thing was absolutely ridiculous. If your experience is anything like mine, It will come in 4 different boxes that are all shipped at different times from different places (for reasons unknown to me). Amazon will only give you one tracking number for one box so be prepared to contact the seller directly if you want to track your other three boxes. I ordered this item with 2 day shipping. The first box didn't arrive until a week later, the other three came scattered throughout the week after that. The boxes were so beat up when they arrived that one of the boxes had contents falling out of it. Luckily, all the pieces were there so I didn't lose anything essential.After the nightmare of shipping was over, I was able to put the thing together. Be prepared to spend 4-5 hours constructing the thing if you aren't super experienced with building something like this. Also, make sure you've got yourself a good socket wrench. It will save a lot of time during the build and make your life much easier.The instructions are pretty clear for the most part, but you'll have to get by on just pictures, no explanations or anything of that nature. So if you get stuck you'll just have to stare harder at the picture until you understand what you're looking at. All the hardware comes compartmentalized in plastic/cardboard containers, so you can get what you need for each step, which is really nice. During the build I did encounter one problem which halted my progress. There was an important bolt missing from the hardware set that they accidentally replaced with a bolt of the wrong size. I had to stop and run to the hardware store to buy the correct bolt to continue building.For the most part, the materials on this cage are of very durable quality. There are a few things though that I felt they comprised on quality. For example, the pulleys as well as the weight mount covers are made of plastic, which was kind of disappointing. but all things considered, everything that really matters to your safety is made of good quality, strong metal. You shouldn't have to worry about dying on this thing.The folding mechanism works well, it can be a bit challenging to fold/unfold if you have a lower ceiling though since the pull up bar needs to be raised up before it can come down to rest on the other side of the cage. Speaking of low ceilings, It can be difficult to do pull ups without bonking your head on the ceiling. So I recommend putting this somewhere with a lot of vertical space. Unfortunately for me, the only place I could put this thing was in my basement where the ceiling is just a few inches above the cage.Surprisingly, and unfortunately, this being a folding cage doesn't actually save you a whole lot of space. Since the pulley system is located in the back of the cage, you need to keep it a good distance from the wall in order to be able to give it enough room for the weights. So even when folded the cage still looks like it's sitting in the middle of your room (if it's a smaller room). Still though, it's nice to fold up because it looks cleaner, and every little bit of space you can save counts.Overall, I love the product. I can definitely see myself using this for many years to come. It's completely replaced my gym membership and I do not regret it one bit. I do wish the seller had taken more responsibility for all the chaos during the shipping process, but what can you do.

Worst shipping I’ve ever dealt with. Parts didn’t all come and had to wait nearly month for them. The bar the weights are supposed to glide on are sticky and won’t really move unless you pull on it hard so good luck lifting weights on them. I don’t understand the design of that if the bars gonna have like a gluey film on it. Other then that the actual structure of gym seems pretty sturdy. With a lot of weight on it the gym seems to sway around a little but not really an issue.

I bought this cage system because it has a wide variety of exercises I can do, both body weight and barbell. I have been using it for about two weeks now and I have no complaint, it easy to setup and fold again in less than a minute.The weight limits are good, more than enough for what I can lift so far, and the accessories are good quality.The installation is easy, but lengthy. I spent about 5 hrs building it, but only because I was really careful to check what i was doing. The instructions are easy to follow and the parts are numbered by instruction step, so you will always know what to do and what to use.Packaging is all cardboard, only some plastic bags for some accessories, so most of the waste is recyclable.

Product seems sturdy and I personally love this home gym system. It's easy to use, has a lot of capabilitys,and was super easy to put together.
