Powertec Workbench Leverage Gym
(Powertec WB-LS)

Justin
The machine has a big footprint, almost 9`L x 5`W. With the bench swiveled to the side for squats, what are the dimensions? Interested in immediate purchase if I can fit this into my workout area.

Is there any way to decrease the height of the machine to work within 6.5` of room? Looking to purchase today please reply as soon as possible.

I had this machine for 8 months now and it is amazing. It is by far the best home gym I owned. Definitely recommend this unit.

I bought my machine 3 months ago and been nothing but satisfied. I get a great workout and dont need any spotter to lift heavy. I bought the red one. The only problem i discovered was a one piece missing it was a bushing for the bench part. I called Powertec`s parts department and they shipped me out the part. Small inconvienance, but They were cool about it. You will be very happy with the machine. Its the !!

Great machine for training for the bench press, I had added 100 lbs to my regular bench by using this machine. One downfall is that it is only rated at 500 lbs which is all that it will hold anyway but you can do multiples on the 500 but Powertec needs to make a heavier machine, one that will hold and be safe at 750 at least, it will sell Powertec !!! Try your back workout on this machine instead of buying a back machine, put bench in incline position, lower bar all the way dow, sit on it backwards with your chest against the backpad, grab bar and pull toward you, GGGreat exersize !! Remember Powertec, HHHeavier machine.

Best home gym for the money, very smooth and you can preform many more movements than advertised. I`ve been trainin @ a local gym for many years, since i purchased this machine I cancelled my membership.

Recieved my machine yesterday, I had it together in under 2 hours. My first workout went smooth and the leverage machine fit into my regular workout exept for legs. Claf raise and shrugs are a little akward, but it beats waiting in line at the gym for a machine. It Rocks! FInd a coupon code online and save yourself an extra 10%.

I have had the Powertec system for about three months and it is the best home gym that I have ever owned. I am a spinal patient and the design of the system allows me to have a complete body workout without the pain. As a matter of fact, I use it for therapy! The doctors wanted to operate, and agreed to therapy. They checked me out and I do not need surgery. Powertec helped!!

I recently just purchased the Powertec Home Gym Leverage System and I am very pleased with this purchase. However though it took me 3-4 hours to put it together. I do not like the fact that it`s curbside delivery.

I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality and engineering of this product. This is not your typical junky home gym! The assembly instructions leave a lot to be desired, but were good enough to get the job done. Assembly took a little over three hours (most of that time just trying to decipher the instructions). It does take up a lot of space, but it’s much more of a complete workout than you can ever get from the more compact bowflex machines. Unlike Bowflex, you can feel the full resistance throughout the entire range of motion. The bottom line is that this Powertec makes a great center piece for your home gym at a great price.

Bought this several months back as a more convenient way to workout then having to travel to the gym or deal with free weights. CONS: Has the typical draw-backs of a middle of the road weight machine. If you bump or nudge the plastic frame caps with your feet they pop off. Not a big deal at all but still annoying. Both rubber grips on the main bar have to in the same place and are coming off. The handles on the small "all purpose" curl bar have came unglued and are slipping off. I also bought the preacher curl attachment which is useful but very bulky and hard to manuever/set in place without tweaking your back. Lastly, just by virtue of the fact that this is a balanced machine, you can shift the weight to one side of your body and still lift heavy. In other words, when using free weights, military press for example, you have to control and balance the weight between both arms/shoulders. Where as with this machine, there really isn`t any muscle/weight balance issue required (when using the main lifting bar). So I think with that, although you can lift heavy, you still loose a little in terms of using actual muscle to control and balance the weights. Confusing but those of you have been lifting for some time shold know what I`m trying to explain. PROS: Convenient! Quick and easy to change weights. Good all around conditioner. You won`t be disapointed.

One of the best " free weight " type systems available. Very easy to use / change. Squat station is fantastic. Swivel point must be handled dilicately , constant use puts alot of damaging pressure on it. If handled right it`ll be problem free. Can`t lose with this machine.

Bought this for my kids so they can be some bad mo-fos in HS football and wrestling. They love it and I`ll have to start using it to keep up with them. I have it in a tight space in my mechanical room but it is easy enough to change the weights. The assembly instructions weren`t great as it took about 3 or 4 hours to assemble. I would recommend getting the arm curl attachment.

I love this machine. Its definitly a high performance plate loaded space saver. I was worried it wouldn`t give me what the larger Multi System does but I`m happy with it so far. An excellent buy for the serious home lifter.

This is the best machine you can buy for heavy lifting, along with free weights. I have been lifting for years. The only down side is the squat bar is only rated for 300 lbs.

great value,great machine and tons of exercises

Had this machine for 8 months. Build quality is superb although u need to watch the pin that pivots the bench. Don`t force it. The amount of exercises that can be done on this machine is amazing. Bigfitness shipping was fast and they did a good job putting it together.

Mike (2006-08-15)  
Purchased as a Christmas present to myself and I`m loving it. I didn`t want a typical home gym. I wanted to work with heavy weights w/o a spotter. After much research, I found the WB-LS and couldn`t be happier.

Doc (2006-05-11)  
I bought my machine in 2001 and have never regretted its purchase. Its versitile and easy to use. Changing between exercises is effortless and best of all, no waiting for a machine at the gym.

Ed (2006-04-15)  
I`ve owned one since 2001 and it`s built like a tank.A machine you could never out grow.My younger brother bought one as well.
