Marcy Smith Machine / Cage System with Pull-Up Bar and Landmine Station | SM-4033

Works very well. Follow the directions on the pamphlet and the YouTube video, and you wont have any problems. Socket set makes this 10x easier.

The setup was long myself (6-8hrs over 4 days), I wish the parts are labeled with their part number, unfortunately they were not. Overall, I have to say this Smith Machine is solid, the material is strong, they look like will last for a good long time, especially the built of the frames. This machine has everything that I wish for! The only thing draw back is that it is rather small inside and if you tall and/or big size, this machine might not be a good fit for you. I am 5 feet 6 inches at 165lb, my head and arms occasionally bumped into the rails and such. So, be very careful and move slowly in and out of the machine and setting up the weights. The bench is built perfect and solid. However, it is heavy and clunky. The machine has everything, but you have to take time to move/remove the accessories, attachments (dip station, j-hook for free bench press, remove the bench entirely to do pullup freely) in order get to the next exercise, that would be the only draw back with this all-in-one machine, which I hate to do right now, but hopefully I will get use to it. Id say a good buy, go for it! I love the cable chest fly that I can do for various positions. This was one of my most important reasons over the other machines.

At first assembly seems insurmountable but once you get the hang of how to decipher the instructions it isn’t bad. Make sure you have a socket set available or it will take much longer. The pulley system is not as smooth as I was hoping but it may just need adjusting that I haven’t figured out yet. All in all it is well built and is a good home gym for most exercises.

Very nice and durable. The only complaint is the staples are coming out of the bench seat after a week of use.

Machine is great.. Only negative feedback is that its difficult to use free weights and a bar due to the pulley system and the cable systems feels weird with light weights, it needs some heavy weight to keep the resistance and cables tight.

As always assembly instructions could have been a little easier to read and understand. In the instructions, Marcy broke down groups of hardware together so that they could more easily be identified. However it appeared that not all the bolts/washers/nuts were always on par with what was required for each section (ie. group #12 said it had 10 bolts, 10 nuts and 20 washers but only had 14 washer in that number set). I ended up pulling washers from the next set till I got to the end and then had to decide which parts didn't really need washers. As far as the major components go, they should have been labelled or marked on the bags or equipment themselves. Most of the time you are guessing and flipping back and forth through the pages to identify what part it is talking about to put it all together. Another bad thing is that the measurements listed are not taking into consideration functionality. For example if you were to put weights on the bar in back (also keep in mind THIS DOES NOT COME WITH ANY WEIGHTS) it will greatly increase the size of the equipment and rub against the wall if you did not account for it. Also the bench has to be pushed all the way in to get the measurement listed on the site. The pulley system seems to be a bit stiff and with no weights on will not retract, it also adds a bit of resistance to your workout as it does not roll smoothly (I followed directions as to not overtighten those pivot points but it still seems a little stiff.) Maybe this will get better over time but as of right now it is stiff and sluggish. This does not come with an Olympic bench press free bar, but does have a storage place for one. The smith machine bench bar does not remove at all and gets in the way when trying to use the pull-up features, you have to essentially have it all the way up in order to not have it be in the way of any workout using the pull-up bars. It would be nice if the bench seat was also convertible into a leg lift/leg work out system so you can get max body workouts in. The chest fly portion needs to be adjustable, you have to sit in the right spot (I have to squat, my wife really cant use that portion because she is too short). It feels like it was designed for a specific sized group of people. Other than those flaws it seems exceptionally sturdy and is a versatile piece of equipment to have. I like the color scheme and comfortability the pads provide. It is a solid tool to have for any in home gym and is very useful.

Pretty good

Great machine! Would purchase again!

I absolutely love my home gym! This investment was well worth the money. I highly recommend this piece of equipment to anyone looking to build an at home gym.

Looks great and is Heavy duty. Pulley system works pretty smoothly and I have not lubed it with a silicone spray yet. Now I have no excuses. I have to get fit now.

I give it 3-4 stars so far. We have had it for about a month. A couple of things to keep in mind: -it took us 8 hours to put together. We were very meticulous when putting it together, so it could have been faster. It would have been MUCH longer had we not had a socket wrench and two people. -The bar is not like the picture. The bar is black with no grips. Seems “wimpier” than that of other bars we are used to. We will be purchasing another bar independent from the one that was included. -The smith machine is different in the fact the bar is not connected to the pieces that hook onto the cage, because they are separate, you have to hold the bar to set the hooks. If you are looking to bench press with the smith, it is VERY difficult to get on and off the bench. -The bench is VERY high off the ground. It is a really well made bench, I just wish it wasnt so high off the ground. I am short and it is difficult for my feet to touch the ground. We will be buying another bench independent from this machine. -I wish the SM-4033 bench had the leg developer like the MD-901G. -The cables feel like they are really thin in comparison to how much weight it can hold. I am nervous the cables with either be stripped overtime or will snap. Some reviews say they strip over some time. We are very conscious of this. -We will be purchasing other cable attachments independent from those that were included. The ones that were included are fine, so this is a personal choice. You can do plenty of workouts with what is included. -As it mentions, weights are not included so we did have to purchase weights outside of Marcy. I do wish there was a way to purchase weights with the machine so they could have been delivered together. However, besides what is mentioned above, we have used the machine every day and a very happy with our purchase. It was delivered quickly, we finally can get a good pump in and no longer need to go to the gym. It is a GREAT machine for the price point. We are very happy with the purchase and we expect it to last a long time for us.

I love the way the packages for number for each step. Even more everything lined up with great precession. First time ever I bought something I had to assemble that the holes and everything were so awesomely perfect.
