The leg press is a very popular exercise. But does that justify paying a lot of money to be able to do it at home? Well, if it was popular for no reason, no you shouldn’t pay for a single exercise. But in my opinion the popularity is justified. While the M5's price tag may raise eyebrows, its unparalleled quality makes it a justifiable investment, complemented with great after-sales support from Inspire Fitness. Pros

It’s a double-edged blade, though. That’s because the more workout stations a home gym features, the bigger and heavier it gets. And although the EXM3000LPS has a reasonable size, it’s still a bit bulky. That’s why it’s intended for both home and light commercial use. Inspire Fitness are well known for their high quality equipment and the M5 is no different and wouldn’t look out of place in a commercial gym and the overall feel of the machine is better than other models.Working out at home is becoming the best choice for those who are on a tight schedule. When time is your most valuable asset, investing in a home gym might be a much better solution than getting a gym membership at your nearest facility. Next, consider the Type of Multi Gym. Do you prefer a Pulley Multi Gym that often comes self-contained, a Leverage Multi Gym that simulates free weight exercises, or an All-in-One Trainer which combines various machines into one unit?

Both of these time-saving solutions also apply if you plan to have a multi-gym at home too. Safety & Ease of Use The Bodycraft Galena Pro Home Gym follows the same formula as the rest of the products on my list of recommendations, offering a plethora of workout possibilities. What’s especially impressive about this home gym is that it features a leg station capable of providing an extensive lower-body workout – something that’s hard to find in similar products within the same price range. Assembly can be challenging and time-consuming as the instructions provided aren't particularly clear. When the leg press is attached, the machine measures 67 x 87 x 91 inches inches and weighs 727 pounds, placing it right in the middle of the spectrum in terms of dimensions and weight. That’s to be expected, of course, considering the price.

The Body-Solid PVLP156X is a vertical leg press machine, which means that it won’t eat up too much space in your home gym. The unit only measures 46 x 48 x 60 inches and weighs 93 pounds, so you can easily add it to any home gym, even if you live in a small apartment. All of that explains the relatively heavy weight of the machine, though it’s still on the lightweight side compared to the other products on this list. Versatile Home Gym Whether you're looking to build strength, increase flexibility, or just stay active, the right multi gym can be a game-changer.

Additionally, the majority of leg press add-ons nowadays come with at least 300 pounds of resistance, which is frankly more than enough for most people. Verdict This incredible multi-station home gym workhorse provides everything you need in a home gym and more. The G9S includes seven work stations, thus offering users all the exercise possibilities they need from the comfort of their house. Believe it or not, getting a home gym with a leg press add-on is cheaper than getting a separate leg press station. Space The main reason why you’re buying a multi-gym is that you want to perform certain exercises to achieve certain goals. Unfortunately, not all multi-gyms are created the same, and as a result, some might not feature the exercises you need.

Those stations include a lat pulldown machine, mid pulley station, chest press, low pulley station, and a leg developer or leg press. Get this home gym, and you’ll never have to leave the house to work out again! Everyone knows that a weighted squat is the king of weightlifting exercises. This compound movement has been at the core of just about every split routine from the moment barbells were invented. As a compound movement, squats activate quads, hamstrings, and glutes primarily with a lesser effect on other muscle groups. The question that often gets asked is whether leg presses are a good substitute for squats? Knowing which exercises are important for your fitness plan can help in this regard. Also, keep in mind that more workout stations also mean a larger footprint on average. At the end of the day, it all comes down to finding the right balance. Size
