PTX Gym Folding Functional Trainer Compact Home Gym,Grey

This is the most expensive piece of gym equipment I have ever purchased. I consider this item more of an appliance that is needed like a fridge, or a stove that you can't live without to justify the price. here are a few pros to this device that makes the expense somewhat acceptable. One of the biggest selling points is that it comes 95% assembled. All I had to do was unbox it and put the weights on. That alone nearly makes it worth the ridiculous price that this thing is selling for.Quality-wise, this thing looks and feels the part. It's not flimsy at all. This piece is 100% gym quality. It's a piece I could see in a smaller fitness room at a gym that handles personal training and needs to be moved around frequently. It's perfect for a physical therapist's office, or even a physical therapist that needs to go house to house to see clients. It can be trailed and wheeled onto a client's driveway and set up in minutes.For my needs, I need some flexibility in how I have things set-up, and space-saving gym equipment that can be folded and wheeled away when not being used is very important. So far the workouts have been very close to my normal gym routine. I can't do certain over-the-head exercises because the machine isn't tall enough. However, I am able to do about 95% of what I normally do and that is an amazing accomplisment. I have had an issue with one of the cables jumping the pully on a certain range of motion exercises. It may need to be adjusted, I will have to reach out to the company to see what the process to adjust the cables are. I would like to able to add more weight to it. The machine could handle another hundred pounds easily. I would be happy with 3 more plates on each side.I will update periodically.****JANUARY 2022 UPDATE**** After nearly a year using this gym I don't have to many complaints. There haven't been any quality issues. I wish it had another 60 pounds of weight. It truly is a space saving item.

I love this piece of equipment. I have been using this device 4-5 times a week since it was delivered to us a few weeks ago, and I have to say it has exceeded my expectations. You will not do any olympic weight training with this machine, but for an out of shape, mid forties male it has served it's intended purpose very well. I have lost almost 8 pounds while using it in combination with a more sensible diet and less sedintary lifestyle. The small foot print, design, build quality, number of exercises, ease of operation, and ease of adjustment are impressive to me.More impressive is the ability to fold it shut so that you can't really tell that it is a piece of exercise equipment. The side panels have mesh-like material that effectively hides the internal components from a distance. Furthermore, all of the attachments used for the different exercises are also stored within the unit in clever, efficient ways. The adjustable bench for the unit also folds out of the way. My contractor recieved the delivery, and he said it came assembled.I ordered the product sight unseen, and I was afraid that it would be of similar quality to some of the less expensive multi-gyms that I tried out at local retailers. The quality and design far outmatched anything that I personally evaluated. The less inferior (for the most part much cheaper) machines are from manufacturers that most people would recognize.The product is fairly expensive, but it has been an answered prayer for my deplorable, self-inflicted state of physical condition.It's weaknesses include an extremely limited instruction manual, apparent 200 lb weight (not a problem for me) limit, and somewhat weak hooks for hanging the attachments on.I can't speak to durability of the product because we have only used it for a little while now, but based on its performance so far, I recommend it very highly for anyone who has the medical clearance to lightweight resistence training.

If you are taller than 5' 8" you will not be able to get the full range of motion on a lot of exercises, unless you exercise on your knees. If you are 6' or taller it is difficult to really use and enjoy this machine. Other than that, it is a good piece of equipment. The pulleys are very smooth. The machine is solid and built to last/

The HCI PTX came as a preassembled unit, just needs some strong arms to move into place and unfold. A month in, so far no trouble at all with it.

I have bought a ton of gym/workout equipment through the last 3 decades, and this was by far the best investment I have made. It's almost commercial grade quality and the ease of going from one exercise to the next is a MAJOR time-saver. I do super-set circuits so this is very important to me. Nothing like using equipment that only YOUR hands and body touch....having your own bathroom around the corner, and playing your own music.. I have only had it for a couple weeks and have lost about 6 lbs. I train 4 days a week on it, and do 'Insanity' on the other days. If you have the money, and not much space, you will be happy with this product. The fact that it came COMPLETELY assembled is worth it's weight (about 400lbs) in gold!

I almost bought a cybex for almost four thousand five hundred more than this machine .This functional trainer allows me to do the same exercises with as smooth movement and range as the more expensive machines .It fits great in my gym and has allowed me to expand on my workouts thank you.

The PTX gym was much more stable than I expected from a foldable gym. I versatility of this machine is excellent. you will not be doing any powerlifting with this machine but it has plenty of weight to recieve a solid workout.the only negative is that it could be another 6 to 12 inches higher.I eould like to add that the the quality of service from HCI was excellent. the product wa running late and Heidi at HCI stayed on top of it with continual updates and status.
