Weider Pro 575 Home Gym

The Weider Pro 575 home gym is a unique entry in the home gym market. What makes it unique? It's a cross between a more traditional home gym with a smith machine.

The Weider Pro 575 home gym was built using a very clever pricipal. They incorporated safety cables into the barbell so you can perform free weight movements, with similar safety you would expect to find in a smith machine. When you're ready to do more exercises, just remove the safety cables from the barbell and throw on your favorite attachment, and do high pulls, tricep pushdowns...the list goes on and on.

The thing I really like about the Weider Pro 575 is that it uses free weights instead of relying on a fixed plane of motion of home gyms like the Weider 9600. Using freeweights is superior to machines to help you recruit stabilizer muscles during each exercise.

The price of the Weider 575 home gym is reasonalbe, but you'll have to provide your own barbell and weights. That's not a huge deal though, because you can get the weight as you need them. If you shop around you should be able to get a complete 300 lb olympic size weight set for about $100.

If your trying to stay under $500 bucks on a home gym, and want to reap the benefits of using real free weights, the Weider 575 home gym is a good gym for the money.
