Excellent Purchase, well built and worth every penny I spent!!

I'm writing this review to describe my experience with the SincMill SCM-1148L. I did a lot of research and shopping for a home workout setup. I watched You tube video's and also checked out the versatility and functionality of the most sought after setup's. First and foremost, this was an excellent buy. For the money your getting one heck of a workout center. This is a unit that has a very robust setup and is super solid and made for extensive workouts. I will outline what I think might be important to mention or at least was important to me.First: This package came in 4 boxes. They were heavy. Make sure you have help moving the boxes to where ever your going to put this unit together. The weight boxes were super heavy by them selves. The packaging was extremely solid and put together for shipping. NO problems there. And I was not missing any of the parts at all.Second: Putting this unit together was actually easy. In that I mean the directions were very laid out and easy to follow. I would think that the manufacturer could make the diagrams bigger or explode them up a little to see the parts flow in the directions. There are blowups on integral parts thought, which is good. I actually used the video's on You Tube that outline, in 3D, the installations step by step in great detail. I probably watched the video more and only referred to the instruction manual when things got confusing. I went back and forth on the video, stopping and pausing the video in each and every step. The first cable installation (Youtube video) was confusing as it flows right into the second cable install. (Watch my video as I outline the first cable install). The flow of the cables and how to install them can be confusing. But all in all it is easy and once you get the hang of it installing the cables, it is easy. The parts layout and the nuts, bolt, washers and all were laid out in the order of the steps to put it together. Which was an awesome advantage for following the directions on the video as the video also mentions the part numbers as you go through the video.. I put this unit together in roughly 4 hours. If you have a second person handy have them help you. Will make the steps super easier.Third: The actuation of the cables and moving the various parts of the machine is super smooth and the noise level is super quiet. When lifting and using the machine the resistance is very nice and flows evenly. It is important to mention that the space saving and foot print is awesome. As you can see from the video my area is small, yet I have room to move around.Finally I have no complaints. There is nothing bad to say about this workout center. All pro's. If I had one thing to advise you on it would be that if your super tall then you might want to consider a larger machine. I am 6' tall and I have no problems with the leg press or using the seats and leg extension unit. All the pieces fit together and work together quite nice and there is no binding or banging around.I would absolutely purchase this again and would recommend this to anyone wanting an upgrade for working out at home. Especially for the money. Once again, thank you Amazon for selling an excellent item.Thanks.Ver más

Time well spent

I received all 4 boxes at the same time. They are about 80 lbs each. There are a lot of parts to set up. This took me 8 hours to unbox and set completely up, however I did a meticulous parts check which took about an hour or so to make sure everything was here and it was. The paper directions were great and detailed all the way until you arrive at the pulley assembly part, then that is when I watched their instruction video which was even easier than the paper instructions. After I was all done the top pulley worked great, the flys were great but the rowing part was hindered. I gave about twenty pulls or so and it appears the cable started wearing so I knew something was off. I am a very meticulous person when it comes to assembly which is why it took me so long. However I FOUND THE PROBLEM. The long cable on the bottom when it is first being inserted thru the hole that is "U" shaped has a tiny metal bar in it. I had routed the cable under that bar by mistake, it needs to go above that bar. After I fixed that there were no more wearing issues and everything fit together as it should. Nice solid machine. I have on carpet upstairs and it does not move. I am very impressed with this home gym. I set this up by myself with no help and an ample amount of space to lay out the parts. I am under 6' and in my early fifties and it fits me just right. I don't plan on becoming Hercules just keeping myself fit and in shape. Yes, it takes time to set up but is time well spent. Additional note: When I ordered this the seller sent me a message to let me know that there will be 4 boxes coming all together, but they can only use 1 tracking number so some boxes may come a few days later, I got lucky because they all arrived at once. I thought that was very nice to give me a heads up.Ver más

Medium range. Don't mix up the weights in step 3.

I like it. It took me about 5-6 hours to assemble. I'm mechanically inclined. The video assembly instructions are simple to follow and detailed with 3D diagrams. The parts in the box are not numbered so you need basic cognitive skills to match parts to pictures. Follow the hardware in order of the steps. Cardboard #1 comes with the hardware for all the first steps, cardboard #2 for the next set. etc.I put one weight on upside down because I wasn't paying attention and had to disassemble some things at the very end to flip it over. That was no fun. So definitely pay attention at every step. Make sure the cables are routed properly. It seems like you skip over a step or two, but that is for a reason... they come up later in the assembly.My only complaints are that the range of motion is a bit low. I'm 5'10" and can't get that last bit of push in a few of the exercises, like the butterfly, even with the back seat all the way forward, I wish the bars went back a little further. A couple other motion range issues. I think if you're over 6' or have long arms this might not be for you.Second complaint is the cable/roller system is a tiny bit noisy. I will probably add some light lithium cable grease where they contact the rollers (of which there are many).Other than that I like this machine. It's versatile and you can make up your own exercises on it. My wife is getting the hang of it too, but she wishes there was a good leg squeeze exercise for the inner thighs. I guess you can't have everything for this price.For the $600 I'm happy. Well engineered, well thought out, and relatively easy to assemble if you have kinesthetic intelligence.Ver más

ASSEMBLY ERRATA and review

UPDATE: A WARNING ABOUT A PARTThe ankle strap velcro isn't very good quality. I'm taking off the old fuzzy part and replacing with the real stuff (Velcro brand). I've been using this since July, and the pokey part of the velcro has not only damaged the band itself, where it's been in contact, it's damaged the fuzzy part of the velcro itself.I'm doing 20 pounds or less with this thing so it's not excessive weight, and I'm not doing that many reps, either.I found a few spots where a bit of clarification might ease confusion:Part #22, the guide rods, are the same at both ends so it doesn’t matter which end goes up.Part #81 is a black rubber bushing; there are a lot on the fourth cardboard of parts. You start needing them before you get to that cardboard, in case you wonder where they are before you get there.Part #*82 is a big black buggy bumper sized thing that goes at the bottom of the weight stack; each is about 2” in diameter. Pictures don’t portray them accurately size-wise.Part #86 is a carabiner. It’s called a gourd hook, a clip hook, and a spring hook in the assembly manual and on p. 22, in the same sentence, called two different things. It’s a carabiner.Part #101 maintains tension on the cables when no weight has been selected. Tip: if you’re using the machine with low weight, and you find that the selection rod’s come out of the stack when you are lowering the weight, just lift a little bit and it should go back in.Part #103, foam roll tube, is metal and used for the leg exercise foam rolls to fit on (there are two of them). Tip: Slide the foam rolls on with a twisting motion, and back up the roll a tiny bit to seat it against the end cap after you've put on the cap.Part #106, strap, is in the box just to mess with you. It doesn’t get used (I searched the .pdf version of the manual; no stated purpose).Part #4, handles for the press/butterfly, may need one end trimmed to accommodate the carabiner assemblies you use to attach the single straps (#87). These are attached in step 14. I used scissors to trim the handle foam flush with the ends.When you place the base frame with the attached rear stabilizer and guide rods, make sure you leave enough room to be able to place the preacher curl cushion assembly on one of the storage posts on the stabilizer. I placed the support, then put the cushion against it and moved the frame out until it fit. If you can’t put it that far from the wall, be aware that using the storage post may be impossible.Step 2: do NOT forget plate (#24) on the bottom of the vertical frame piece. Trust me on this.Wait on step 4, #3 until after you place the pulley that sits at the top of the weight stack guide rods. Otherwise, part 91 will block your view and get in your way and you’ll have to undo it.You can leave step 6, #s 2 and 3 (putting in the seat and back supports) until you attach the supports to the pads later. Tip: you can get another inch of room with the back support placed directly against the upright. To keep it from rattling around, I used a plastic wedge (you can get them in packages of 12 or so at hardware stores) and snapped off the excess and used a file on the rough edge. No wobble in the back.REVIEW: There are things that could be improved in the manual (like the aforementioned ‘carabiner of many names’ issue). My biggest gripe is that step 11, which is the installation of the longest cable, doesn’t have a clear enough view of the cable path for the 6th and 7th pulleys (F and G) and that the directions refer to the pulleys not by letter, as in the path diagram, but by number. This is an editing issue much like the carabiner part. A good way to eliminate that would be to have an editor assemble the thing using the manual. ; )Aside from that, assembly was easy, and I think it could have been done by one person (my housemate and I assembled, so it was faster, especially the second time after my reassembly after removing and replacing the weight stack). I have no sense of the machine as poorly constructed; it seems very solid and the welds all look good, and the few cosmetic blips were minor. It’s in my garage, not my living room, so I don’t really care about a few small paint scrapes. I’d recommend it.

Great value multi gym

Bought this multi gym two or three weeks ago and have been using it almost every day since. Pros: I get a workout for almost every muscle in my body. I supplement with an inner and outer thigh workout and ab workout elsewhere. But this speaks to the type of gym, not this specific gym.You can do so many different moves, at least 25, more than the poster shows. It came with a very nice selection of attachments. With a lot of silicone lubricant it is relatively smooth, not perfect, but I’m very pleased with it. for reference, I am a 5 foot two woman, I would call myself a beginner weightlifter. The machine fits me fine and the ways are enough for me at this stage. I can get a nice deep leg press. Sometimes I put a couple of Chare pads behind me to push myself even closer to the foot piece. Cons: the assembly directions were not the greatest. But the video on YouTube for assembly were very good. it took 6 to 7 hours to put together by myself. I wouldn’t say it was difficult just time-consuming. The paper directions neglected to tell you until the fourth package of hardware, that you needed hardware in the fourth package for steps that were on the first or second package of hardware so I had to remove some pieces to get those in. Read all of the print on all four packages of hardware before you start assembly. it didn’t come with lubricant, I had to buy that separate. And it definitely needs it. You will see that immediately. But once you use silicone, it’s perfect. The standing leg curl isn’t great as is however, I put a Yoga block between my knee and the machine and now it’s really perfect! Definitely recommend, it was worth the $511 on flash sale!Ver más

Great gym for garage/basement

Perfect gym for the garage/basement. This offers a ton of different exercise options without taking up a lot of space. I like how you can easily switch everything out to change your workout and touch all muscles. Comes with an exercise chart as well so you can see what to change and what equipment to attach where. As far as the installation goes, it did take a decent amount of time but it was not difficult. The directions were pretty easy to follow but you have to pay attention to details. I also brought up the install video on youtube to compare if I had any questions. Finally, the customer service has been top notch. I had an issue with a piece and they sent a new one right away. Very easy to work with. I would recommend this gym.Ver más
