If you’re making the decision of what to put inside your home gym, you should check out a fitness store that sells Life Fitness equipment and look at the Life Fitness G2 Home Gym. This is usually around $1400 for the top models and is well worth your money. There are cheaper options, of course, but they don’t have the same quality as this brand.
Details and specifications
The Life Fitness G2 Home Gym measures 71 inches long, 83 inches high, and 48 inches wide. There is an optional leg press you can add, in this case the width becomes 81 inches. But even if it bulks up the equipment, the leg press and calf raise are really added benefits. Some home gyms have them too, but they are much bulkier compared to this model.
Some kits have side bars that do not need to be lifted to remove them from the bar. If you decide to go with the Life Fitness G2, you need to make sure you have extra roof space to be able to get the lat bar out of the mount.
The Life Fitness G2 Home Gym frame and parts are guaranteed for life. The pads and cables come with a three-year warranty, which sounds like a pretty good deal.
G2 Features
The Life Fitness G2 comes with a weight stack of around 160 pounds. You can place the pin at the level of weight you want to lift.
The equipment comes with a low row bar, an ankle strap, a lat bar, some exercise cards, and two different sized handles. These are great features and will cost you more if you buy them separately. You also have the option to purchase an additional 50 pounds.
It can be safely said that the Life Fitness G2 Home Gym feels much more stable compared to other home gyms. It also has that commercial grade feel to it. You don’t have to worry about wobbling and moving around, especially when you do the leg extension part. It also has a low cable that allows you to do seated rows, shoulder, leg and bicep work.
You can also switch between different exercises as the machine has a contoured backrest and a comfortable seat.
Probably the only downside the Life Fitness G2 Home Gym has is that its seat can’t be moved, so you can’t do exercises like triceps pushdowns. But you can do many other exercises.
