Body Solid Home Gyms Comparison

Are you looking for a great workout? Have you ever wondered what separates home gyms? What makes one better than another? These are questions that many of us ask when we think about the purchase of a home gym. Additionally we ask ourselves, “Will I really make the time commitment and really use this?” Motivating yourself to “get in shape”, “be fit”, or just to “tone up” can be challenging, however Body Solid provides an answer to these issues in their EXM1500S and G2B home gyms. These two gyms take the work out of workout and replace it with fun. While you will work up a good sweat putting in your workout, you will thoroughly enjoy it. What is the difference between these two great gyms well lets visit them and find out.

EXM1500S
This gym is centered on a 160 Lb. weight stack, adjustable in 10 Lb. increments, stacked neatly without plates and bars scattered about. Simply insert a pin and begin! While sitting on the firm, oversize adjustable seat pad you can start by grabbing the multi-grip press arm and work on your chest and shoulders, then wrap your legs over the comfortable foam rollers to rip through a set of thigh burning leg extensions. Now, take hold of the Ab Strap and crunch your way to a washboard stomach. Spin around and reach for the Lat Bar and work your shoulders and upper back. Using the Straight Bar on the multi-purpose Low Pulley you can perform seated rows, biceps curls, wrist curls, upright rows, shrugs and more. Other exercises include triceps press down, standing leg curl, bent over row, inner and outer thigh, one arm cable curl and standing calf raise.


G2B
The Body-Solid G2B is the ideal combination of technology and design. Its’ most unique feature is the patented Bi-Angular® Press Arm System. Bi-Angular® technology uses a converging axis during the pressing motion to provide 25% more muscle interaction for a faster, more efficient and complete workout. Built on a compact but extremely stable footprint, the G2B packs more exercises into less space than any other gym available. Included in this versatile gym is a Multi-Hip Station to sculpt your hips, thighs and glutes. The fully adjustable back pad is made of DuraFirm™ padding and includes lumbar support for maximum comfort. Our SmoothGlide Bearing System™ allows friction-free movement and long life to the multi-function leg developer. The G2B allows you to perform every exercise you need to sculpt your body to its ultimate form.
