GMWD Leg Extension and Curl Machine, Lower Body Special Leg Machine, Adjustable Leg Exercise Bench with Plate Loaded, Leg Rotary Extension for Thigh, Home Gym Weight Machine

This machine has been a great addition to my home gym! Great quality, great price and very sturdy. It works very smoothly and has many adjustments to accommodate body size. At first when I opened the box I was overwhelmed by the amount of parts, but soon realized every part is labeled clearly with a number and the assembly steps are were easy to follow. I had an issue with one of the strings on the pads, but seller was quick to respond and had the manufacturer send me a replacement. I am very happy with this purchase!

At this price, it’s hard to beat. It shipped via FedEx and arrived 4 days early. It arrived on leg day so I had to get it assembled so I could work out. The assembly from the time I cut the bands on the box until it was completely assembled was about 45 minutes. This included unwrapping and inspecting the parts for damage. There was a little damage to the powder coating on the main frame piece from shipping, but nothing structural. One piece of advice I would give is to not over tighten the nylon lock nuts. Too much torque will bend the square tubing, reducing the structural integrity. All in all it’s a good leg extension maching. I was torn between this and the one that lats flat for leg curls, but I can do standing leg curls with this one. Not a deal breaker, especially since I would need to spend an extra $100+ to get that functionality. I believe this one will work just fine and it is well made. I do see the leg pads needing changed out every year or so. The foam padding isn’t that dense so it will end up collapsing under heavy load eventually. For the max capacity, I will never personally need to go that high, but if you do, you won’t be able to use bumper plates. The weight arm is rather short. On a positive note, the handles are a vital feature for me. The leg extension machine I am replacing didn’t have them and it was difficult staying in the seat once you hit 130 pounds or so. So if you need a reliable, sturdy leg extension machine with leg curl features and hip thrust features, this fits the bill.

Overall, a good machine for working legs. Nice , smooth operation and very sturdy. Assembly was fairly easy, no issues. The only negatives, you have to work one exercise sequence at a time due to the process of switching between curls and extensions; changing weights is a little awkward when doing curls because you are basically locked in place. Size wise, the unit has a lot of adjustability, but barely fits my 6’ frame. So, if you are taller than 6’, proceed with caution.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this one deserves it. Assembly took about 3 hours, and I took my time doing it right — keeping bolts loose until everything was aligned, then tightening everything down at the end. That made a big difference in how smooth the machine feels. The adjustability is excellent — seat, back, and leg positions are all easy to dial in. Once I aligned the pivot point with my knees, the movement felt very natural and smooth. Sixty-year-old with arthritis in right knee so leg exercises that stress the knee joint I struggle to do. I’ve used a lot of combo gym machines before where the leg extension feels like an afterthought — this is not that. This feels much closer to a dedicated commercial unit. First workout with a 45 lb plate was smooth no wobble no knee stress at all, tension where it should be — in the quads For anyone concerned about knee comfort or wanting to build strength safely, this is a really solid option. Very happy with the purchase.

Great compact and versatile machine. Sturdy and well made. Not commercial-grade gym level, but it's not meant for that. Price point is great, and it's solid for leg curls & extensions. It's not included in their marketing, but I can do hip thrusts on it, as well as well as glute kick backs. It's maybe not 100% designed for these exercises, but it works and adds another possible use for it in the home gym. I'm not particularly engineering-inclined, but I was able to assemble this by myself (took me a couple hours, but could be done much faster if you're more versed in assembling things like this.) Huge shout out to their packaging engineers. Everything was well marked & labeled for assembly, and was securely padded/protected for shipping. Takes up minimal floor space and I'm using it daily in my workouts. Highly recommend.

Pros: This thing is awesome. Very well built and easy to assemble. No cheap, crappy hardware or allen screws. Feels very smooth. Takes up a very small footprint. I'm extremely satisfied and it exceeds my expectations. Cons: A couple caveats. I'm 5'11 and about 205 lbs with a tiny butt. I feel that if I were a few inches taller, my body wouldn't line up well to the ankle pads at all. My wife is 5'2 and it barely lines up for her. If you're quite plump, the butt pads would be too narrow. I recommend looking at something different if you're shorter than 5'2, taller than 6'1, or super thiccccc.

I used to have a similar machine from another company that cost twice as much, but it was built like a tank. I was skeptical about this one because of the lower price. After unboxing, it looked well-built, and I was able to assemble it in about 30 minutes. However, when I tested it today with a maximum of 85 lbs during leg curls, I could feel the metal flexing. I’m concerned that the base may not hold up over time. I dont think it can support upto 300lbs long term. Prolly max out is 200lbs or less.

Pretty good for my basement. Can do basics, but small for the big guys and major lifters expecting to do a lot of weight. Basic Fitness versus body building.

This is a fantastic Leg Extension/Curl machine for my home gym. I received my machine with the GMWD logo printed on the back pad and the knobs are in chrome finish. The foot pad/roller seems to be straight now which was a minor issue of the old model. The parts are very well labeled. The shipping box that it came with is very thick and it was delivered in perfect condition. Amazon coupon reduced the price by a $100.00. Overall, the machine is working smoothly and I enjoy every minute using it. I highly recommend.

Vraiment très bien pour la maison, solide, compacte, facile à monter. Bon rapport qualité/prix
