This is the perfect addition to my workout room. It was easy to put together, my only concern was the plastic part you stand on. It's pretty sturdy and I think it will hold up. I used this machine about three times per week, it was definitely worth it!

This bad boy is a well-made heavy-duty piece of at-home workout equipment. I couldn't help but notice how heavy it was when I brough the box in the house the day it arrived. It's almost 30 pounds on its own. It was a breeze to assemble and took about ten to fifteen minutes. All of the pieces are a weighty steel with a durable powder coating. There are some small plastic feet on the ends of a few of the parts and the base that you stand on is plastic as well. These pieces feel sturdy to me, but only time will tell how it holds up. There is a good amount of adjustability in the squat support and the bar that locks your feet in place. The squat support can be removed and makes storage easier. The wheels on the end make it fairly mobile and aids in storage and moving it to where you want to work out. There is a booklet that has a variety of exercises that you can add to your routine and make this a complete workout.All in all, I like it and would recommend this to anyone with a desire to add high quality focus on squats to their routine.

Unfortunately, I have no backside.I also loathe squats, so when I saw this piece of equipment, which makes squats look, well...easy, I got excited. Could this be my ticket to a perky backside? I hope so!☆Thankfully, this arrived quick! I want to get my squat on ASAP as summer is right around the corner. The box was heavy, so I picked the pieces out one by one. Each piece was individually wrapped in plastic, many also protected by cardboard. Even with the rough handling during shipping, every one of the pieces was unscathed.☆Assembly was really easy and took less than 20 minutes. The directions are illustrated well and easy to follow. The instruction book also contains several pages of workouts utilizing this machine. That was a nice bonus. The only tools needed are 2 crescent wrenches, which were included in the box.☆I was admiring the pieces when I was putting this together. They are solid, super studry and well made. Pieces that had welds were very clean. There are no rough metal edges anywhere. The powder coating is nice and thick. I'm sure I could take a hammer to this and nothing would happened to it. (I won't though, but knowing I could is assuring). Once it is together, this is really a gorgeous piece of equipment! It is HEAVY too! It's not so heavy that I can't pick it up and move it, but it is heavy enough to support weight, which is important.●The only thing I'm so/so on is the foot board. It is plastic. It's not flimsy or anything, but I just have this feeling it is going to crack or break. I'm not sure why this is the only plastic piece. Considering it's the one that gets the most action you would think it would be made with something stronger.☆I love that this has wheels and can be easily moved around. I also appreciate how easy/simple it is to make adjustments to the foot holders and backrest. When I remove the backrest, this stores away in the closet nice and barely takes up space.☆It DEFINITELY makes squats better! I'm honestly excited to do my squats now! This definitely gives me better form. My legs and knees are more stable too.☆This isn't JUST a machine for squats though! It's great for lunges, sit ups and push ups too! I've even added some resistance bands and got my legs and hips going with this too! It's becoming a great workout companion and inventing new ways to utilize it has been very rewarding.●Another note-While it didn't ruin my day, I had ordered the gray and black machine. (I like the light colors). The machine I received however is all black. Not the end of the world, but it's just a bummer when you don't get what you ordered.♡I have been using this daily now for a few weeks (on top of my daily gym visits, which keep me sane but never gave me a butt). I feel much stronger and I really think I'm starting to see progress on my backside! I think this is a great piece of equipment to have at home because you can do a ton of different things while watching TV! This is more than a squat machine and a quality piece overall.

Was able to go in a deep sissy squat and it felt good! Was also able to use this for split squats so this worked really well.

Good workout and easy to assemble

First, there are a lot of parts to this-I found it took me longer to put this together than I expected. But the instructions were very clear and precise. They are shown as a schematic with all the parts, screws,etc., ‘blown apart’. That said, the parts are powdered coated and strong. The booklet said it will accommodate 150kg weight and 190cm height (315 lbs and 6’3”). Included are 2 wrenches that are different measurements in each end, in essence ‘4’ wrenches. The instruction booklet is large with full illustrations as photographs for assembly. The cushion can be adjusted for height. It is very sturdy once assembled. It doesn’t wobble or ‘give’ while I’m using it. The last pages of the booklet are illustrations for exercises and proper body alignment with accompanying written directions. Last in the booklet are pre and post workout warmup/ cool down stretches.For me, a total rookie to all of this, it was very detailed and not intimidating at all. I’m just starting to get serious about exercise and I like having a machine for home use. I need the instruction, too.
