The best way to review the BFMG20 Best Fitness Home Gym is to compare it to another popular home gym such as the Body Solid EXM1500s. Both of these home gyms are very popular with home gym enthusiasts and they are manufactured by the best home gym equipment wholesaler in the industry. So what are the main differences between these home gym machines and which one is best for your home gym?
First, lets start with the similarities. both of these home fitness gyms are based on selectorized weight lifting technology. As compared to Olympic plate home gym equipment such as free weights and leverage based home gym systems the selectorized equipment is suited for easy access and use. All you need to do is pull out and reinsert the selector pin to adjust your weight load. This allows for less down time between sets and keeps your heart rate at an optimal level which maximizes your calorie burn!
Both home gyms also have a similar weight stack capacity. The EXM1500s Home Gym facilitates a 160lb weight stack and the BFMG20 Home Gym comes with a 150lb weight stack. This should be plenty of weight for the avid home gym enthusiast who wishes to look slim and trim!
Price wise the home gyms are a bit different. The EXM1500s Home Gym runs about $809.00 and the BFMG20 Home Gym is available for $499.00. This brings us to the main differences between these 2 home gyms. The higher price is accounted for a few more benefits that come with the EXM1500s home gym, but that does not mean that the BFMG20 cannot give you all that you need for a few hundred dollars less.
Both home gyms come with great warranty coverage. The main difference being that the Body Solid EXM1500s Home Gym comes with Body Solid's industry leading lifetime warranty - no questions asked! The BFMG20 Home Gym comes with the Best Fitness 3 year warranty. Yes, there is a difference but this does not mean that the BFMG20 Home Gym is flimsy be any means. For example, the 2200 lb. test nylon coated aircraft quality cables that the BFMG20 Home Gym is equipped with will take all you can give! The BFMG20 Home Gym is still an excellent home gym regardless of the warranty coverage, but the right choice for you may depend on how much use the home gym will get. Heavy use may make the EXM1500s Home Gym the better choice. But on the other hand if the home gym is going to receive moderate use then the Best Fitness 3 year warranty should be all the warranty coverage that you will need!
The workout stations on each home gym have some similarities. For example: both home gym machines come with a leg curl/leg extension station and they both come with high pulley and low pulley stations. This enables similar exercises to be performed such as lat pull downs, leg curls and triceps push downs. The EXM1500s Home Gym also features a mid pulley station unlike the BFMG20 Home Gym. The mid pulley station is ideal for performing abdominal crunches and it would be a benefit to have this option available on your home fitness gym. In addition, when you buy home gym equipment bear in mind the EXM1500s Home Gym also benefits from the low pulley station being set off to the side of the home gym equipment. This will permit the user to make more efficient use of space that is often a very limited aspect of home gym workouts. The low pulley location on the EXM1500s is offset by the smaller size of the BFMG20 Home Gym which may be an important consideration for limited space requirements. I have listed the user capacity and the size and weight dimensions below for your review.
Body Solid EXM1500s Home Gym Dimensions: 83"H x 49"L x 36"W Machine total Weight: 330 pounds Single user capacity
BFMG20 Best Fitness Sportsman Home Gym Dimensions: 78"H x 64"L x 47"W Product Weight: 263 pounds Single User Capacity
In sum, the BFMG20 home gym is a very good choice of home gym equipment. It has the compact size and versatility that should satisfy most home gym enthusiasts. I hope that this basic break down of these two industry leading home gyms has been of assistance to you in making your home gym purchase decision. Please contact me if I can be of further assistance.
