Powertec Workbench Multisystem Review

Well, to put it simply - if you're serious about building some muscle and you want to do that in the privacy of your own home, then in our opinion this is the best home gym to invest in.

I'm a big fan of leverage system equipment because it gives you the feeling of training with free weights with the safety of a machine.

Also, with no pulleys or cables it's pretty much maintenance free.

Best of all in the current economic climate, it's competitively priced and there are some great discounts to be had to sweeten the deal even further.

So, let's take a look at the spec...

Powertec Workbench Multisystem Review - Any Good...?

Absolutely! So good in fact, that as soon as I get my garage converted into my new home gym to give me more room this is going to be my first purchase.

I've used pretty much every bit of kit from all the big manufacturers and the Powertec leverage system is my favourite - very smooth action with a full range of motion that enables excellent control of all movements.

This is my favourite home gym.

The workbench covers all the core exercises essential to a strength training programme - bench, squat, lat pulldown/row, shoulder press, biceps curl and triceps pushdown.

The machine offers a:

This is probably enough for most serious fitness enthusiasts and certainly enough for me!

Whilst the design is surprisingly compact - 9'9" x 8' - you will need space for the home gym itself and to move around it.

It's also heavy being near commercial grade, so be sure your flooring can take the weight - of the gym and when loaded with the plates.

You'll also need to assemble it when it arrives. It's not difficult but will take around 5-10 hours if the chatter in the online forums is anything to go by!

Whilst the price is competitive you will need to budget for Olympic plates, which will set you back several hundred bucks.

I would suggest going for enough plates so you can keep each station loaded. It will cost you more but you won't have to keep moving the plates from station to station whilst working out.

Finally, whilst the Workbench enables you to execute a dozen or so core exercises, you'll probably want to supplement your home gym with some dumbells for things like flys, curls and lateral raises.

Powertec Workstation Multisystem Review - The Bottom Line...

If you have the space and want the feel of free weights with the safety of a machine - you can push hard without a spotter - this is the home gym for you.

We found some pretty good deals online with shipping included. You might want to check out the section at BigFitness where the Workbench is currently available for $1,399.00 with free shipping.
