 great product Feb 16, 2009
By R. Sawyer
I am very pleased with the quality, looks and operation. If you are looking for a home gym under $500 in the 150lb category then I highly recommend this product. I am just as pleased with the very professional service from Fitness Factory and especially their sales rep Judy B. I ordered the item on the 18th and it was in my garage the 22nd! Do not hesitate to use Fitness Factory & ask for Judy B."

 Value for money Dec 15, 2009
By L Smith
This product was being phased out when I bought it, so it was very attractively priced compared to other options. It is solidly built, and offers a moderate variety of exercises that is perfect for anyone looking to maintain fitness conveniently at home. The assembly instructions are difficult to follow, but better instructions are available on the internet for the next model up and that filled in the gaps relatively clearly. There were two places where component parts didn't fit perfectly, but it was easy enough to overcome with a little bending and stretching. Fitness Factory got the shipment out quickly.

Works Great When Assembled Mar 26, 2010
By J.S.
Was looking for a very affordable small home gym and the BFMG10 fits all the requirements. The instruction on the other hand, well, are impossible.
If you get this unit be prepared to spend many hours assembling it. I took 3 evenings, 1 hour each night, to assemble the unit, mainly because working on it for more than an hour taxed my patients too much. The assembly instructions do not include a size diagram for the bolts, so lay them out and count them before starting. The instructions also have the wording on one side of the page and you have to flip the page to see the correct diagram. They skipped the instructions on some parts including mounting the seat.
As suggested by other owners, search online for the BFMG20 instructions and use those (first link on Google).
Once assembled, the unit performs wonderfully, and for the price it can't be beat.

"JAH"
Do your self a favor and don't waste your time. The instructions were beyond awful, the parts/pieces, screws, etc..were out of their package!?! The diagrams were way too hard to see so I had to go through and individually baggy the nuts, bolts and screws (which were all pretty much different sizes). I got the thing built and put up, and it looks great, but I can't utilize all of it because it isn't working properly. Now I have half a piece of gym equipment the other half...well I'll just censor for the kids). I actually bought a treadmill at the same time but from a different company. It had to be put together as well, but at least they had clear directions and the nuts, bolts, screws and washers were all properly labeled and numbered. Oh well, you get what you pay for.
Excellent Quality Product for the Price May 14, 2010
By M. Abbott
I read the reviews and decided to purchase this Unit. I had already purchased the BF Adjustable Bench and was pleased with the quality of it. I purchased this discontinued model because it was available with free shipping. It arrived on a pallet in 4 boxes. It did take me 4 hours and 12 minutes to assemble. No parts were missing or damaged. The directions were adequate for assembly. The trick is to inventory and organize your bolts so you use the correct bolts at the appropriate steps. Double checking the bolts every time is where you really get slowed down on the assembly process. The machine is sturdy and solid, and the materials are excellent aircraft grade quality. This is the perfect machine for anyone who doesn't want to spend a lot of money on a small home gym. Sure there is better (and worse) stuff out there for a lot more money. This is an excellent product at an excellent price.
