Haven't actually had time to assemble it yet but I did the SAS CAT, that is Check And Test, and all the parts are in the box, the instruction sheets had diagrams of each and every part and the quantities of each so that was simple as to make sure all the parts were there, on inspection I would have to say the item is excellent, it's solid and very well made, the handles to lower yourself into position are miles above most other brands ie not like a set of flimsy handlebars on a bicycle, each one has been welded to the sub frame on both sides of the cylindrical tube in good long welds, so when I asked Lucas if they were up to doing dips I was told it would be fine, and it obviously will be. First call he was engaged he called me back asap, and answered my questions and reassured me of the quality of the brand and it is all and more than he guaranteed me, so I am most impressed with this purchase, I had a serious motorcycle accident a long time ago, got better but suffer stiffness in my lower back where I fractured three vertebrae, luckily it was a stable fracture, this Roman chair will give me the hyperextension I need to keep my back from stiffening up, running alone basically isn't good enough although it certainly helps, I wanted to buy one years ago but it was rather pricey and bulky, this one defeats it in space and price , so I am seriously satisfied, I'll post another review when I've got it put together and have used it. I have qualifications in Fitness and I would have absolutely no qualms in recommending this brand. Five Stars.
I'm really pleased with the machine now that it is assembled.
However. Instructions called for 2x 130mm bolts, packaging showed space labelled for 2x 130mm bolts which were absent. Drove 2 hours (each way) to the nearest bunnings hoping to acquire the necessary bolts, but they were out of stock. Requested that the missing bolts be sent by express mail. Bolts were sent regular mail (dispatched immediately to be fair) requiring a 20 minute drive (each way) to the post office to collect those. Brought them home and realised i had not specified that i also needed nuts for these bolts, so another 15 minute drive (each way) to a small local hardware store which to my amazement had the nuts in stock. Resumed assembling and upon completion found I had 2x 110mm bolts left over, and the 130mm bolts are clearly about 20mm longer than necessary for the spot they're in. So... I dunno man maybe update the instructions or something because all that was pretty frustrating.
Very pleased with the service I received, machine arrived a few days after ordering in good condition.
I am 92 years old and have been rowing for 28 years. This is my 7th machine and is by far the best.
Thank you Raymond
I tried a few benches before arriving at this one. It’s not too heavy and easy to move around and lift up if required, but not too light that it feels flimsy or unstable.
It doesn’t wobble like some cheaper benches. The front leg is flat so you don’t need to worry about tripping plus it makes it easier manoeuvring around the bench with heavy dumbbells.
Adjustments are quick and easy to make. There is a bit of a gap between the seat and backrest but it doesn’t really bother me, maybe because of the way the seat tapers off at the gap.
I find the padding more than adequate and the length of the bench is more than enough for my height of 175cm.
Aesthetically, the bench looks decent in my opinion. It’s not boxy or bulky like some commercial benches but still looks respectable and solid, like you don’t need to worry about it breaking during a set.
Personally I feel like it should be able to handle more weight than specified because the frame is a single piece of steel but I’ve got a long way to go before testing the limits.
This is perfect for our home gym setup!
Very good quality . Well made. easy to assemble. I use it twice a day for my lower back. Works great. I am glad I bought it. I would recommend this seller. James Morris
Like most people who are looking for something, we did a bit of research, got confused and took a punt. I’m glad we chose your rowing machine.
Everything is good for us from go to row.
Not only the product is amazing! The machine is excellent. I have used rowing machines for years now and this is a fantastic one. Price/Quality is 5 stars.
I believe I received the rowing machine in less than 5 business days (Living in NSW - coming from SA)
I highly recommend this product and will look at other products from BF in the future.
The rack is perfect for me as I'm disabled from a work accident. I can use it for all of my training needs. The safety rails are great and sturdy. Excellent quality, easy to assemble and heavy frame
delivery time was excellent. have not had time to set up the station as yet
The unit itself is good and services its purpose.
The weights are working well but the number stickers are ridiculously difficult to peel off. It took over 10 minutes to peel one away. Just gave up. Such a shame as numbering them would be an advantage to guessing which exact weight your are changing too etc
I can pedal furiously but it still sits stationary on my garage floor. I don't miss the changing view of the countryside. BUT I really appreciate burning some serious calories and boosting my metabolism. The purchase and installation of my Endurance was very simple and straight-forward. I appreciate that it is well built and the 'whole package'.
Great piece of equipment and perfect for the home gym. Very easy to assemble on my own and super fast delivery. No complaints here and certainly recommend purchasing from Best Fitness!
Hey Guys,
Just thought I’d drop you a message to say how impressed I am with this rack for the price, and the fact you had free shipping.
Very well packaged, easy to put together, same size bolts for everything is a great idea.
I have it on rubber indoor gym tiles and it’s really nice and solid.
I’m 57, and stopped going to the gym when covid hit, and have been building my home gym slowly and this is a great piece of equipment for me to train safely.
Will definitely recommend.
Thanks again, have a great day.
Andy
Great rower, went together easily (just follow the instructions, no shortcuts) solid parts well made, and feels like a good strong-quality rower. Best Fitness kept me up to date with tracking and when it arrived.
This is my first Preacher Curl Bench so I don't have any experience with other home units. This Powerline Bench is of solid construction, appropriately adjustable and comfortable to use. I was having trouble isolating/focusing biceps with free weights and was hoping this bench would solve that problem...it does! Ive got nothing to compare this unit to, but I don't regret this purchase and would recommend it.
I ordered a weight bench on 16th December and I am still waiting to receive it. The transport company advised delivery should occur on 23rd December. I have contacted the transport company twice & have been left on lengthy hold for service and am still waiting for advice on when the item will be delivered. I would not recommend the transport company you have used as their service has been terrible & left a very unsatisfactory impression - which impacts my satisfaction with the order.
Hi Tonya, apologies for this delay. Normally our freight carrier does a very good job, but this time of the year is very tough for all carriers, some delay is expected and their customer service lines do get jammed. Anyway, thanks for letting us know, leave it with us and we will chase the carrier from our end to make your delivery asap.
Good quality product, great variability with 3 exercises in one machine and easy to switch between them. Mot too hard to put together either. Service and delivery were very efficient.
I have not received it yet, am still waiting
Hi Murray,
Your rower has arrived the the Team Global Express depot yesterday and you can now collect it.
Thank you!
