ironcompany BodyCraft HFT Functional Trainer Home Gym - Dual Adjustable Pulley Machine

This was difficult to assemble and requires two people as manufacturer's assembly manual requires. I'm handy and quite crazy, so I assembled by myself, but I do NOT recommend attempting that. In retrospect, I should have called my brother-in-law for a hand. If you're not handy, I def recommend paying for assembly. I almost got my head cracked in at one point when a piece slipped out of my hands. You will also need a rubber mallet, and socket wrenches, and hex drivers. Assembly is complex. Not a complaint on the machine though. Really works well.I got the 200lb upgrade and the extra 50lbs packs didn't come initially. After contacting, seller was great with sending/correcting.This was first time I paid more than $2000 for home gym equipment, other than with some gym quality treadmills, but I definitely see the reason why. After assembly and trying out, I ordered the bench for it as well. All pieces fit with laser precision, and mechanisms are tight and smooth. Everything is solid and feels of quality. Funny thing is the only thing that looks cheap is the Bodycraft stickers on the top of the black oval looking parts. Maybe it's oem sold as another brand overseas? Who knows. Don't care. I like the machine overall a lot.I'm a small middle aged guy, not so strong, and out of shape these days, but I'm glad I ordered the extra 50lbs just for piece of mind. I can see perhaps I would've outgrown the 150 alone for let's say squats, etc.Anyways, very happy with this. I have a treadmill and some sandbags, so, my home gym is complete with this machine if I just get a good dipping station next. Thumbs up!

I was between alot of trainers. Inspire, X Mark etc. This one is the winner. Lifetime Warranty for frame, most have that but how about parts, YES! Some other ones have 1-2 years for parts, big whoop. Now I know why they do this, the quality of the parts is insane. I have been to many gyms in my pre, during and now post military experience and this thing is awesome.Was very easy to put together just time consuming. Little common sense and you are golden. I got the upgrades 200 pound verison. Came in the following2 big boxes the actual trainer4 7 plate boxes for 280 pounds (what you get for standard as the other 20 pounds is from the top plate in the big boxes.2 5 plate boxes, granted 1 wasnt shipped to me but the company fixed the issue.Guy from Gronk Fitness, they actually answer their phone and fix the issue on the spot.The boxes were beat up, but each piece is wrapped so well, it was a non issue.NOT INCLUDED- Some workout mats- Fan- Air purifier cuz I am a sissy haha- Bowflex bench- Tough box to hold extra attachments, some may be pictured

This thing is pretty awesome, it's the perfect size for a home gym either indoors or in a garage. It was a bit of a bear to assemble, just make sure you have the recommended tools (some Allen and crescent wrenches at a bare minimum). Also, it can be assembled alone but having someone help you will make it significantly easier from a time standpoint.The machine works perfectly and is definitely gym grade material, spring for the extra weight plates early on because removing the weights to add more will be annoying and will require a lot of loosening and tightening.The only weird thing is the way you do lat pulldowns with the machine, you connect the bar to both sides. Although, if it really bothers you, then I recommend buying a lat pulldown bar designed with the hook loop in the middle of the bar.

Good value, well made, put together easily on own and I'm a financial advisor not in construction. Very smooth pulley system and all the bonus accessories. Very happy with this addition to home gym versus crappy sort of systems attached to a rack.

This machine delivers. Very smooth operation. It takes a little while to put together but I easily did it by myself. Definitely recommend getting the additional weight.

Excellent gym!!! Was able to put it together by myself in 21/2 hours.As good as the systems in commercial gyms!Glad I purchased it!

Works really great!!

I don’t do online reviews of products very often but I felt that this functional trainer definitley deserved a positive one. I am a personal trainer and I have been into health and fitness for more than fifteen years. I have owned a couple of functional trainers from companies such as Hoist and Inspire and I can honestly say that this FT is my favorite so far. I would consider it the best “bang for your buck” FT on the market. It has a super smooth motion, no matter how light or heavy the weight you are using. The fit and finish of the machine is excellent. The attachments that come with this FT are far superior to some others that I have owned or seen. The handles have actual bearings instead of bushings that rotate very smoothly which makes the feel of any exercise you are doing even better. They have a rubber grip that feels good in your hand and has proven to be very durable. Bodycraft is a great company to deal with and their customer service is amazing. If you are reading this review I would assume you are shopping around for a functional trainer just like I was a few months ago, and I would highly recommend you to buy the Bodycraft HFT without hesitation. Thanks for reading!
