Marcy Eclipse HG3000 Compact Home Gym with Weight Stack, 68 kg

I was very sceptical about buying a multi gym. Had kne back in 2012 and the machine compared to a gym machine seemed very weak and boring. I set this one up today and wow Is all I can say.Building time can take a while. I read that it takes 3 to 4 hours which is probably does. The instructions are really easy to understand. Everything on the instruction booklet was numbered but there was no numbers on the actual pieces. So I thought this us gonna take a while but I was wrong. There is no piece the same so it's very easy to distinguish which piece it's referring to.The actual feel of the multigym compared to a real gym is very minimal. I'm shocked how good it all feels and can't wait to start using it properly.Honestly I can't say this is the best because I've not tried others but for the moneys worth I would definitely recommend it. It feels good and is very sturdy.

Really sturdy and loads of different exercises can be done. Looks good and actually quite easy to assemble. Made couple of mistakes putting parts wrong way round. Only criticism is the seat could be adjustable, I e closer to back rest. If you are shorter in height there is quite a gap between back of seat and backrest. Would I recommend, definitely, looks and feels like professional model. Final tip, try to assemble as near to position you want it to be in as very heavy to move.

It took me around six hours to put together, but the instructions are really clear, so not a problem.Great for upper body workout with plenty of weights for me. I use a couple of loose weights to supplement, too, because there are one or two exercises you can’t do with the gym.Lower body workout is OK, but as always with this type if entry level machine, not quite as good as for the upper body. The exercises are effective, but I personally find the working position a bit tricky. That could just be me, of course, and hopefully it will get easier with time.My one criticism is that the turn screw which secures the pad in front of the seat has already become damaged after a fairly short time. This is a bit of a problem, because the pad has to be taken on and off to perform some of the exercises.All things considered, I’m pleased with my gym and it’s making a difference to how I look and feel after only a couple if weeks, using it every other day.I would say that if you’re more than about 5 foot 10, you may find it too small for you, because there’s no height adjustment to the seat. Im 5 foot 7 and it’s perfect for me.

Great little home gym, not too difficult to assemble (around 4 hours on my own), and the seller (PureFitness & Sports) sorted out a small issue with parts with no fuss, and top efficiency.It's a home gym, so don't expect it to be like standalone equipment at an actual gym, but plenty good enough for my needs, which is mainly just weights, that do arms/shoulders/legs/stomachSmooth operation, sturdy (on a lino floor in conservatory), and though needing to move the pull-down bar is a slight 'annoyance' while you are doing it, it's really extremely trivial a task, for the upside of having this kit at home.I'm a very fussy buyer, and it took months before I plumped for this one, and even then was still 'worried' I'd regret it. All unfounded, I'm very pleased with it!For reference I'm a 12 1/2 stone, 5' 11" guy, and there are no issues with the gym as regards to my size/weight. Would definitely recommend to anyone else in my height/weight range looking to tone up.------------------------Added March 24th 2022:Truly outstanding aftersales care from Lisa at this seller (PureFitness & Sports) - no question too small, and she went the extra mile for me to make sure I was all set with a futher query I had, even though this was a purchase from May 2021. I was treated like the most prestigious of new customers, and to say their support is on another level is still to do them insufficient justice. Absolutely stellar company, and though I'm not a heavy gym/fitness user, anything related I do buy in future will be from these guys. As said, I'm a fussy buyer, and not easily pleased, so high praise indeed from me!

Great product for general home usage. Easy to put together but a good 2 hours to do so. There is a very helpful video on you tube which helps with the cable. Sturdy and with more than enough weight for general use (not body building!)

First of all I have confirmed it is compact, easily fits into a confined space in my office, Quality is excellent and everything fits as it should, HOWEVER a small tip for constructing, take everything out and lay it out to identify the parts, only the butterflys are handed, but in your rush to get fit with your exercising you might just make the mistake. For the most part the assembly instruction book is well written and easy to follow, I found the wiring up a bit challenging as I thought I was on a macramy course, I found the easiest way was to mount ALL the pully wheels with just the bolts through, working from one end to the other remove the appropriate pully, thread through and replace the pully, once you know you have cracked it go round and attach washers, locknuts etc. The markings on the Nuts, Bolts and Washer cards is easy to follow. Don't expect to build this in a couple of hours I took half an afternoon and a couple of hours the next day, about 5 hours including, tea breaks, food breaks and sitting down breaks to admire the work in progress (and study the maual). All in all I am happy to give it a 5 start rating and it is good value.
