The machine is made of quality materials is very heavy duty(pretty much commercial) and you feel completely safe no matter how much weight you load it up with. It glides on the rails very smoothly. The foot plates for both the hack squat and leg press are very large and solid compared to other brands with plenty of room to adjust your foot placement.The adjustable plate positioning is great for multiple body types and adjusting where you feel the load. Negatives- it is quite loud( but most leg machines are loud) and takes some time to build(tip -leave bolts loose until ready to complete) - but well worth it in my opinion. Full range of movement for me in the hack-squat position(I can just bottom out if I bring my butt to within 1' of my ankles and I’m 5’8”) It is one of my favourite pieces in the garage gym. My buddy got one at the same time and he is very happy with the purchase as well. GearForFit was great to deal with and prompt with addressing any questions and concerns. The Product showed up at our door in BC from Ont. in a large wooden crate (4’x6’ 650lbs)within 2 weeks. Everything was in great condition and nothing was missing. GearForFit actually lost money on the shipping quote for my buddy but honoured the original price. I would definitely purchase equipment from them again!
