Exceptional value, nicely packaged and sturdy - one issue but Hulkfit made good on replacement part
By Barragan on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2025
Update: I did have an issue with the spotter arm being two of the same instead of one for each side and Hulkfit did get me the correct replacement part delivered. It was still usable but it was bothering me to have it not look symmetrical. Amazon was also good with providing me a discount for the problem/inconvenience since at the time the replacement arm appeared to be out of stock and they were about 50 dollars for 2 of them (I only needed 1). I did like the product so may have ordered the arms to get the one I needed if I had to. Overall, I got a great deal on this and am now happy so I've changed this review back to 5/5. Initial review/impression prior to noticing the spotter arm issue: I just got back into lifting weights so was increasing the options in my basement gym lately (see pic 1). Very happy with it and will share some details on the packaging and setup. Ordered this product on sale. Received and it was packaged well and the box had multiple layers of plastic wrap around it to keep it from getting wet. It was cold, snowy and wet in my yard. I dragged this down a steep hill (see pic 2) to get it to the back of my house. I unboxed it outside and carried the parts into the basement one by one. The entire process of dragging it down, cutting box open and unpackaging it only took 15 minutes or less. This would be a two person carry (to me) if I had to take it down my steps. I could probably do it solo but it's too risky so just did the outside option. I assembled most of it myself with the tools included. I got the yellow beams attached upright myself but was careful of them tipping when connecting the bolts. One of them almost fell into my wall but I caught it luckily. I had another person help me do the top bars to make that part easier and it was so much quicker/easier with two people. Regarding assembly, it does not have a lot of instructions but the diagram shows clearly where everything should go so just keep looking at that while assembling. Tricky thing would be the top bars since you need to put the bigger one on top but this is shown in picture. My helper was confused why there were two bars for the top but I assumed for stability. Tips: When tightening the small black metal plates for the top bars make sure you are holding them in place before tightening completely to prevent them from being crooked. Make sure you don't completely tighten one top bar before putting in the other or you will have to loosen the bolts to get other one to fit in (easy to do with two people but save you time by doing it right the first time). The product is very sturdy for the money I paid. There are a few nicks in the paint but doesn't matter to me at all because the metal seems strong under that paint. I tried it out using it for bench pressing for the first time and am very satisfied. Everything works as expected and I feel the product is well built overall. It's also easy to adjust the arms and j hooks for different heights. I bought cheaper weight sets from another website and combined with this good deal on the HulkFit I'm very happy with my little home gym right now. Also, note the plates on the HulkFit weight plate holder rods (back of machine in pic 1). You'll probably want extra plates to put on it if you don't have that to weigh down the rack if you do dips and such on it. I'm overweight so could be possible movement with the machine if I did dips but with weights holding it down better that obviously shouldn't happen. I give this product a 5/5 considering the price and quality delivered.

As for the durability, its 💯%

My review is a bit late because I was busy with work. The package was in good condition. I only noticed a few things. First, the packaging of the item. I wish it was stronger. It arrived to me in a damaged condition and had an opening at the end. You can see the condition of the box in the picture. When I saw the packaging, it occurred to me that it had many scratches inside. You can see in the pictures. Second, its J-hook, you can see in the picture that one is uneven and not attached to the rack. And I don't think it's safe, maybe I'll just be careful when I return the bar. As for the durability, it's 100% legit, there are only a few things that need improvement
