Commercial Unwilling to compromise, Body-Solid products feature materials and component parts of only the highest quality and durability available. When you add up all the reasons, the choice becomes clear.

SAFE

Safety is no accident. The safety of you and your family is a foremost concern of Body-Solid. Our safety engineering starts with a strong, rigid body structure. High-strength carbon steel is used extensively throughout the frame and cross members, as well as in the braces, connecting points and adjustment components. The mainframes provide exceptional strength while low profile designs contribute to excellent stability. 

TOUGH

You'll feel safe and secure working out on these machines because there's another side to these strength builders.

THE TOUGH SIDE.

The advanced steel alloy used in every gym has a very high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent impact absorbing properties. Tough and durable features include shock-resistant weight stacks, reinforced arms and oversized pivot point bushings. These are just a few of the scientifically engineered innovations built in to protect you and your family members, so you can work out with ongoing peace of mind.

COMFORTABLE

Everything is where you want it. Ergonomic studies were applied throughout each home gym design, making every one of them an extremely user-friendly machine to work out on. The shape and location of every pad, pop pin and pivot point feels natural. Weight stacks are within easy reach for quick, safe adjustability. Even the bars and grips are designed to fit the shape of your hand rather than the other way around.

AFFORDABLE

Body-Solid products set a new standard of excellence. Our philosophy is simple: give buyers exceptional quality, durability and function at an extremely affordable price. Our products include dozens of distinct strength training machines designed and engineered by experts in the United States for total body training, conditioning and rehabilitation. They have every built-in safety feature possible. They are as tough as the toughest competitor. They are comfortable, convenient and have a price you can afford.

TECHNOLOGY

Our gyms are designed with the most advanced technologies including state-of-the-art CAD software. This software gives us the ability to design gyms with pivot points in the optimum positions and adjustment ranges that accommodate every size user

PIVOT POINTS

Sophisticated pillow block and sealed ball bearings and extra large, self lubricating oil-lite bronze bushings are used at all pivot points for precision movement and friction-free performance.


FINISH
An electrostatically applied powder coat finish protects every Body-Solid product. This is the same process used on industrial machinery because of its durability. It resists scratches, chipping and corrosion, and makes cleaning a breeze.

DURAFIRM PADS

Our exclusive DuraFirm pads are tear resistant, extra thick and ultra comfortable. We use the highest density foam in the industry with an 8 Lb. rebond rating to ensure total support.

CABLES

Our nylon-coated cables are constructed of 2200Lb. test, galvanized steel in a 7 x 19 cable pattern. Our cables are engineered to meet U.S. military specifications and carry a 4:1 safety factor against stretching and breakage.

PULLEYS

Impact resistant, Body-Solid pulleys are precision matched to our cable diameter and engineered for precise cable tracking. Fiberglass reinforced nylon pulleys revolve on sealed ball bearings that never need maintenance and provide a lifetime of friction-free performance.

FRAMES

All Body-Solid machine frames feature all-4-side welded construction instead of the typical 2-side stitch welds that have become common in the industry. We use heavy-duty 2" x 2", 2" x 3" and 2" x 4" high tensile strength steel in our mainframes along with hardened, heavy gauge bolts and reinforcement plates for rock-solid stability.

WARRANTY

Nobody beats our warranty. Absolutely nobody. Our exclusive In-Home LIFETIME Warranty covers every piece of every one of our home gyms. Pads, pulleys, cables, frames. You name it. It's ALL covered. Forever. Period.
