Powerline BSG10X Home Gym | Perfect for Building Strength

by

The Powerline BSG10X Home Gym is a resourceful weight stack home gym for those beginning to play with this type of exercise equipment. With this in mind, the Powerline BSG10X is reasonably priced, offering a fair number of exercises and weight stack resistance.

Additionally, the Powerline BSG10X features 40+ exercises, an adequate number of options considering the price paid. Unfortunately, the Powerline BSG10X maxes out at 160 lbs resistance, making it a little weak for strength trainers looking to reach the “next level.”

The compact Powerline BSG10X Home Gym sports a stable platform and multiple seat adjustments accommodating all shapes and sizes. The home gym base feels firm, and the trainer’s confidence shows in limited 10-year coverage on the frame. In addition, the 11-gauge mainframe construction assures maximum strength, function, and durability.

A typical customer complaint regarding fitness equipment is the time and energy required to assemble a trainer upon shipment. If you can relate, you will appreciate that the  Powerline BSG10X is 90% pre-assembled upon delivery and ready to use after installing nine bolts.
