Advantages: Easy to use Disadvantages: So heavy you need a firm space
I've recently sold my Weider machine, which I had for two years. Whilst I had it it suited my needs, but I found that I quickly got bored of it, and it didn't have the flexibility to make it exciting.
The machine is incredibly large, and has a wide variety of weights. The down side of this is that it needs to be on a firm concrete floor like a garage. You shouldn't really put it upstairs (like I did) in a spare room!
The gym is good to use, especially ... ...the activiities too rigid for my liking. If you're a traditional iron pumper then this is for you.
I also found it hard to get replacement parts - I lost a pin for one of the leg excersises and it was really difficult to get a replacement. The way this machine is set up means that each time you move from one excersice to another you end up taking pins in and out to be able to use them.
Not a bad product, but also not the best. ...
