I was one of the first people to purchase the Legion V3 Pin Loaded Multi-Functional Trainer with Smith Machine after spending a year and a half frequently looking online for something similar in the UK.
All other racks like this have their weight stacks geared towards the US market so are in 5lbs increments per weight plate. This makes it a bit harder to calculate how much you are pulling on the middle 2:1 ratio in kg so I wanted one in 5kg increments. This weight stack is in 5kg increments but also has the stickers in lbs if you needed to log your weights in lbs.
What can I say it was worth the wait. This rack is a serious beast and I have been using it now for a month. Its got everything you need in such a compact unit and the price is really cheap for what you get. (PS this is commercial grade kit, not cheap at all!)
You can do so many exercises on this, the pulleys are really smooth and they are aluminum so not cheap plastic pulleys like you find with some pulley machines online. The middle pulley system is on guide rollers to protect the powder coating on the uprights and they are easy to adjust up and down.
I am female and 5 foot 6 with an average amount of strength and put this rack together myself (I have had a fair amount of experience putting gym kit together though) it took me about 8 hours in total over 4 days so if you are ok with complex flat pack furniture you will be fine with this. In fact the hardest thing to do was tear the crate apart it comes in so I could take it to the skip!
This company can not do enough for you either, since I was one of the first to get it I had a lot of questions which were all answered straight away by the Managing Director Andy. He sent me a few videos on how to route the cables as the instructions are not the best for that part of the setup. I had some feedback on the instructions and some minor issues with the setup I felt needed to be placed in the instructions and Andy has taken my feedback on and is in the process of getting a more detailed setup guide for the install written up to give to future customers.
Honestly if you are on the fence about getting this, just get it now while its still a low price. Its worth the 6k price tag! The smith machine is an actual Olympic barbell with decent knurling on it and is really smooth to use.
The accessories you get with this thing are unreal too, all of them high quality.
This is by far the best thing I have in my home gym and I would buy it three times over if it came to it. Its commercial quality and will last me till I am old.
Thanks Andy and Legion for building something that is so amazing and priced so well and for all the advice and help you provided with the purchase and setup!
