PowertecFitness Levergym Calf Raise and Squat Machine, Black, 58” x 55” x 61.6”, 500 lbs Max Capacity Weight Training Equipment for Leg Exercise - Premium Home Workout Equipment

Had a little problem with the shipping but it wasn't powertec fault , the carrier delivered it to the wrong address . After notifying powertec they were all over it and I had it the very next day..I put it together last night and did a test run and as usual powertec never disappoints. Solid well built sexy machine. I have several powertex equipment in my home gym and they are one of the best for a home gym.

Overall, absolutely love this piece of equipment. Wish the calf raise platform had a stronger attachment point. (ie. a bolt through the bracket)

I absolutely love this machine. Being 65 now, I found free weight squats were getting dangerous. In fact, I pulled a leg muscle 2 days before getting this machine. Love the safety it provides. I am using the same poundage I used on the free weight squats after 3 weeks

This machine was pretty easy to assemble other than a few bolt holes that I had to drill out as the tolerance was about 1/16" off center. I am not sure it would hold up in a commercial setting but it is perfect for my home gym. I t cannot compare with a Hammer Strength V-Squat, but at less that 1/3 the price it is a quality buy. I do see one engineering issue that, while not a deal breaker, would make this a better machine. At 6-2 I struggle to set up. There should be a mechanism to adjust the height of the machine. This said I would still have purchased it. It does indeed take pressure off the knees and back and isolates the quads. It has a fairly small footprint, which is perfect for my home gym. I see the price on this is continuing to climb since I purchased just a few weeks ago. If that number approaches $1,000 I would say you'd be better off looking for something else as I do not think it is worth that much.

Absolutely no pressure on the lower back! 👍

ok

Works well and gets the job done
