GMWDLeg Extension and Curl Machine, Single Leg Extension, Lying Leg Curl, Standing Leg Curl, Adjustable Leg Exercise Bench with Plate Loaded, Leg Machine Home Gym, Red

I am a life long gym rat and as I am getting older I can no longer just rely on squats and deadlifts for quad and hamstring size. This machine is the perfect addition to my home gym at a perfect price. It is every bit as good a commercial leg extension and just a small step below a commercial leg curl. I was very skeptical when purchasing this as the reviews state there isn't a constant weight tension due to it being a plate loaded machine, but that is wrong. You can adjust it to get a very good pump and workout. Leg extensions and leg curls are not mass builders anyway, they are a finishing move and they should be performed slowly and in a controlled manner to elicit a deep burn. This machine really is perfect for that and it has truly exceeded my expectations at this price point! If you are an experienced lifter and you are looking to get a gym quality workout with some variation at home, this machine is perfect for that.Tip: You don't need a lot of weight for this at all. I use 45 lbs for each leg on leg extension, and 25 to 35 lbs for leg curls. I am a strong experienced lifter as well.Cons: When doing leg lying down leg extensions, it is hard to get inside the machine to perform the curls, the solution is to adjust one leg down and then step in and do one leg at a time. A very slight inconvenience as it is just pulling one pin and dropping the leg out of the way on the one side. You must also find the tension range for the lying down leg curls. You will not get a lot of tension at the very top, so focus on the bottom part of the exercise. You will still get a much better burn than just doing straight leg deadlifts. Standing leg curls will hit the upper range for leg curls. Other cons are the machine does take up a lot of space, about 7x3 feet, so make sure you have enough room.The machine is well built and I do not see any reason why it wont last at least 7-10 years if it is just being used once or twice a week in a home gym. The bottom grab handles could be a bit beefier but that is nit picking. Assembly was very easy, did it by myself in 90 minutes. Do not mix up the allen key bolts with the standard socket bolts. Just use the directions and you will be fine.

Great piece of equipment overall, feels like heavy duty commercial grade equipment. Meets all expectations in a leg curl leg extension machine, also pretty easy to assemble. Totally satisfied with this products purchase.

Overall, the total machine is great. 11 gauge steel, built like a tank.1st major issue:On several post there are deep scratches, noticeable from a distance. The box was undamaged and it was packed adequately, so I would say, poor quality control.2nd major issue is unequal leg positions.No matter how close you make the adjustment, they are still asymmetrical with each other. (Not sure if this develops the muscles differently, but having 1 inch distal leverage on one leg vs the other would seem likely)The 3rd issue, but not major:The seat has slack in it, so you get the rocking horse effect. I would have either added a locking pin or made the original hole smaller.Otherwise, the machine is great. Up to 350 per legIndividual extensions or simultaneous extensions ,Individual standing reverse leg curls or flexIndividual extension or simultaneous laying curls.

The package arrived earlier than the delivery date. The machine seems well-built and not too hard to assemble. This makes a great addition to my home gym.

This machine is amazing and the price is worth every penny in fact I would have spent more this is a must have for your gym

This product was deceiving because it looked like it would be a good leg workout but it is anything but! The fit and finish is terrible, scratches everywhere and the back rest is broken on one corner. It can be a workout just getting on the thing.Update: Company has been very responsive and addressed the issues I had but there is still quality issues as other reviews have pointed out. Also, mentioned in another review is the uneven leg positions. It would be nice if you could tie the two leg positions together so they worked as one. I usually end up doing single leg curls and extensions because of the uneven leg positions.

I have found the GMWD LE03 to be a solid machine for the price point. Easy installation though helpful to have an extra pair of hands. The LE03 foundation is robust with no wobble while using for extensions and curls. The operation is smooth with a straightforward ability to adjust positions. Like other reviews, I did have an issue with the leg pad alignment. That being said, GMWD customer service was extremely responsive and they went well beyond expectations to resolve the issue. I also found a few cosmetic dings that improved packaging, using bubble wrap versus a basic plastic wrap, would likely help. Overall, the LE03 performance meets my expectation but there is room for improvement. My five star rating is a combination of the machine quality and the outstanding customer support.

Leg Extension broke at the joint. Cheap metal...cheap product. Do not buy!
