Body-Solid has long been recognized worldwide as the leader and innovator in home gyms and strength training equipment, from space-saving home gyms that fit in any room to home fitness centers with state-of-the-art designs that can handle multiple users. Best of all, all of our G series gyms are backed by the industry’s best warranty, Body-Solid’s In-Home Lifetime Warranty which covers everything, forever. Yes, forever.
One of the prized pieces in the Body-Solid lineup is our “G” series, developed with high-tech/in-demand features at an affordable price. We have quite a few in the lineup, so this blog post will act as a primer for the different SKUs, what’s unique to each of the gyms and the multitude of exercises that can be performed on each.
G1S
We’ll start with the simplest gym in the series, the Body-Solid G1S. Don’t let the simplicity fool you though, the G1S packs a lot of power, strength and durability into a small footprint. The G1S features five stations: lat pulldown/high pulley, ab crunch/mid pulley, leg extension/leg curl, chest press and seated row/low pulley. Each offers their own unique experience within the compact gym.
