Best Fitness Functional Trainer BFFT10 Kabelzugbrücke, Schwarz, One Size

Building was easy. And it’s very smooth. I used a swivel (second photo) instead of the products it came with. Only problem was that the screws don’t come labels they are all in bag. Loved it overall. Wish I went with one with more weight but it gets the job done! Took about 3 hours to assemble.

Broken nylon handles on the lightest of weight. Can be dangerous if using heavier weights!!!!!!

I was looking to upgrade from my “single arm” cable machine. I wanted the ability to do a true cable crossover (among other exercises), and because of how quickly I like to move through supersets, I was tired of messing with plates, so I wanted a weight stack. I did some research and settled on this Body Solid model; it had what I was looking for at a great price. Sure I would have liked 2 weight stacks, but that adds a few hundy onto the price.Assembly: overall not bad. All the hardware came in one huge bag which is a bit annoying to have to sort them all out. Also the assembly video calls out hardware needed for steps even if you’ve installed that hardware already, so be aware of that. It took me about 3 hours from box to bicep curls. Not a single part was missing and they even included a little bottle of paint for touch ups.Quality: I’d say it’s what you would expect for this price point. It’s not perfect, but it fit together pretty good, it looks nice, and it works. It was also packaged very nicely and they clearly took care to make sure everything was going to arrive damage free. The weight plates are concrete or something coated in plastic so they’re huge compared to steel plates, but whatever, weight is weight I guess.Functionality: for reference I’m 6’1” 210lbs. I’m quite pleased with this machine. It’s smooth and quiet. Even 1-2 plates for side laterals operates very smoothly. Range of motion is good, not great. Trying to do double arm lateral raises by grabbing the handles on the opposite side with each arm will bottom it out, but you can buy 12” extension cables for a few bucks to fix that. Cable crossovers at all angles work great. The weight stack provides pretty good resistance, I’d say it tops out around 120-130 lbs using both cables. I also bought a little plate holder that I can slide into the weight stack and load up with 1” plates, so I should be fine for the foreseeable future; I don’t typically lift that heavy anyways.Overall, I feel that this was a great purchase. It will allow me to get pretty much any workout I want done at home (combined with my 90lb power blocks). I’m excited at all the new lifts I can do with this thing, and being excited about working out is 80% of the battle.

So, I've had this machine for over a month now and have used it several days per week. After a couple of weeks, the upright pulley cables on each side of the trainer began to twist. While it's not horribly bad, it is annoying. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if there is a fix for it?I received this today. It came in 6 boxes. None of them were overly heavy, which was a nice surprise. I alway unpack everything first a sort out the parts and hardware, laying them out so that I know what I have to work with.Overall, it took 4 hours to assemble, including a 15 break for lunch. Here are the issues I ran into with that assembly…1. The hardware was all packed loose in one plastic bag, not separated, not labeled at all. That made it challenging to tell what bolt was what at times, and took extra time to sort out the bolts, washers and nuts.2. One hole in one of the uprights did not line up correctly. It took me a lot of extra time to try to get the bolt to fit… squeezing, jiggling, hammering and eventually drilling out the hole to make it work.3. The instructions have you install all of the pulleys prior to running the cables as close to the last step. That’s no problem with the first two cables, but the third one that has connectors on each end would not fit under the pulleys while they were installed, so I had to remove all but 4 of those (7 total removed) to route the final cable around them.Once assembled, it is a sturdy, smooth and functional trainer, easy to adjust and it looks great, too. I’m certain that I will get many years of use out of it. In spite of a few issues during assembly, I’d still recommend this product. I’d have given it 5 stars if not for the assembly issues.

A lil info about me, I am retired Army disable Vet. I chose this product for rehabilitation and work out purposes at home, to minimize the amount of time I am away from my family at the big box gyms. Family Values! I know one thing I try to teach my children and a concept I operate under is a "Honest Days pay for a Honest Days Work" I don't feel this is indicative of my experience with Body Solid and Amazon.I am not happy with the product or my delivery experience at all. The product was lost or halted somewhere during shipping. I received a phone call two days or so after my "expected delivery" date advising that my product would have to be delivered a week a later. I had previously made arrangements for someone to be at my residence to receive the delivery. (wasted time and money) A week later the product was still unavailable for delivery and would have to be pushed back another day. (two more days of time and money wasted). Ok, now the product arrives, the box is a little damaged but it doesn't look too bad. I take the pieces out of the box for quick inventory. All the screws, nuts, bolts and washers are in one big bag; not that big of a deal. I separated all the pieces according to the inventory sheet provided. OK... there were missing screws and nuts and the screw size and count didn't match and wasn't consistent with the inventory provided. Some steps called for more screws of a particular size then what inventory listed. If you are unfamiliar with hardware and putting things together this could be extremely confusing, frustrating, and possibly lead to injury. I was able to go to the local friendly Hardware store and pick the missing pieces and sizes I needed. Now, I am fairly familiar (being modest) with putting things together. The pieces that was sent did not match. It appears the the main arm on the "left" side does not fit; apparently incorrectly manufactured with very poor "QC" before shipping. The top segment of the arm is about 15 - 345 (depending on viewpoint) degrees off from aligning with the pulley selector post. I am pissed! I've wasted time and money with this product and now have a colossal piece of junk in the middle of my gym slowing down my normal workout. I may be forced to continue with gym memberships.I cant make what's important to me important to someone else.If you chose this product I hope your experiences are better than mine- Army Man GJUpdate:After contacting customer service, better yet they contacted me, and very quickly fixed the issue. Within the week I had the new part at my door, faster than discussed with the customer service rep. So far I'v been using the machine for about a week and am loving it.The weight isn't super heavy but it is enough to get a GOOOD work out for sure especially if you decide to go "reps" vs "weight" And as mentioned in other post you can always add a weight plate with a hardware-store purchased-rod. Solid purchase. Thannx
