Control your resistance at the touch of a button with the Weider Platinum Plus home gym--a terrific choice for home workout enthusiasts. The Platinum Plus is electronically controlled, giving you complete command over your workout routine. As a result, you don't have to mess with awkward bows, cranky weight stacks, or hard-to-maneuver weight plates each time you want to boost or lower resistance. The Platinum Plus's main feature is its Personal Trainer console, which comes with nine preset workouts: three strength, three toning, and three calorie-burning routines. As you progress, the Platinum Plus automatically adjusts the resistance and counts your reps and sets for you. It's like working out at the gym with a personal trainer but in the comfort of your own home. The Personal Trainer console also offers four LCD windows to display your workout progress, tracking such data as your current exercise, your resistance level, your reps, and your sets.

In addition to the 240-pound digital resistance system, the Platinum Plus also boasts several individual weight stations. The squat station, for example, makes it easy to perform a perfect squat every time, with foam shoulder supports helping you distribute the weight more evenly and a smooth rail system to ensure proper posture, regardless of your experience or expertise. The machine also includes a high pulley station (with 15-plus exercises) and low pulley station (with 40-plus exercises). Because the pulleys have no real set path, they let you perform a number of exercises to target some of those harder-to-get areas. And unlike many weight machines, the Platinum Plus offers a six-roll leg developer for building and developing your quads, hamstrings, glutes, and hip-flexors. Other features include a rowing seat, a leg press strap, an ankle strap, a hand strap, and an ab strap.

The Platinum Plus--which offers a space-saving design with a folding bench--comes with a step-by-step exercise chart. The Platinum Plus measures 47 by 85 by 94 inches (W x H x D).

About Home Gyms
While offering the convenience of working out in the comfort and privacy of your own home, home gyms also allow you to focus on specific routines without having to wait in line or switch between a complex array of machines. In addition to improving strength, power, coordination, and muscular endurance, weight training can enhance weight reduction, enhance the immune and cardiovascular systems, and help prevent injuries. In general, home gym machines are compact units designed to strengthen and exercise many parts of the body. While no single home gym can provide a complete strength training solution, they are a convenient way to combine many exercises into a single unit. Some home gyms focus exclusively on upper-body workouts, while other, more advanced units focus on upper- and lower-body conditioning.

This review is from: Weider Platinum Plus Home Gym (Sports)

Simulates free weight system qualities (balance, independence) at the push of a button using an electronic resistance system. Takes a little time to put together and do be careful not to pinch any wires as you assemble it but this workhorse will last a lifetime if you do take care. The materials used on this unit are very heavy-duty. Compared to other home gyms this baby is a keeper.
