Another alternative arrangement, currently unique to the Bowflex brand, is the Power Rod system. Here, users attach the pulley to metal rods that bend – the more rods you hook up, the greater the resistance and so the harder the exercise. It’s not for everyone but it’s a fantastically quiet system (attaching and detaching weights is always noisy) and makes for a much lighter home multi-gym, making it great for smaller spaces. Since the mid-1960s, the USA has had the “All-in-one Gym,” which features a weight-based multi-gym, a cardio machine and a bench press. Since then, the equipment has evolved, but the training priorities that are found in the multi-purpose halls, such as squats, deadlifts, push-ups, lunges, dumbbells and squats, have remained unchanged.

Billed as the ideal home gym for beginners, we’d argue that Marcy is doing itself a disservice with this solid, well-built multi-gym: it’s more than versatile enough to cope with the needs of intermediate lifters looking for serious strength gains at home. It’s undoubtedly a smooth operator and the sheer variety of exercises on offer are staggering, with a low bar situated at the side of the machine to free up more space for movement.

If you budget can stretch for an upgraded unit, investing a bit more now can save future headaches. Perhaps the real bonusesl, however, are the PR1000’s compact proportions, low weight (59kgs) and silent operation. As long as you have a room with the necessary two metres worth of clearance to allow the Power Rods to flex properly, this is a terrific alternative to lever and pulley-based multi-gyms.
