Best Home Gym Reviews and Tips for Your Home Gym
Powertec’s Workbench Levergym is designed to provide you with an excellent workout, utilizing 20 classic and highly effective strength exercises. It uses leverage to create resistance for a great muscle-building, fat burning workout. Using a leverage, machine gives you all the advantages of a free weight workout, without the dangers of dropping weights on yourself or getting trapped when you don’t have a spotter to help you.
Product Description
The Workbench Levergym has a removable bench section that opens up to allow for squats, shrugs and rows. It also has a specially designed “isolated arms” system that taxes each side of the body individually, while doing compound exercises.
It comes with a regular black or a snappy yellow frame, constructed of sturdy cast iron. The padded touch points, bench and seat are made to be comfortable during even the longest workout sessions. It’s created to be functional and last forever.

Cons of the Workbench Levergym:
Overall, this home gym machine is a good investment. I do however have a few complaints:
- There have been complaints from people who’ve bought the Workbench Levergym claiming the instructions aren’t very good.
- The Levergym costs $1,279. It’s worth it, but there are cheaper, lower-quality gyms that can be found for under $1,000.
- You have to buy the weight plates separately.
- It would have been nice for an exercise guide to be included. Specifically a DVD that shows how to set the machine up for each exercise, and even a quick demonstration on how to do the exercises themselves.
Conclusion
The Workbench Levergym by Powertec is an excellent home gym for those who are serious about getting stronger and building muscles. It will challenge you and help you accomplish your goals. It’s built to last and you’ll likely never have to worry about maxing out its weight capacity either.
