RITFIT Leg Extension and Curl Machine, 700LB Adjustable Leg Curl Machine, Seated Leg Extension and Lying Curl Machine for Home Gym, Leg Workout Equipment Compatible with 1'' and 2'' Weight Plates

The other leg extension/curl machines at this price point are usually the pendulum style where you have an inconsistent power curve because the weight doesn't go against gravity at the bottom of the movement. When you start the movement, there is no resistance.This machine solves this problem with the cable. It applies a consistent power curve because the weight is moving up against gravity. To get the same effect for other machines, you have to get a weight stack machine that's generally over $2k.Pleasant surprises:1. The weight horn is made out of metal. My other Ritfit machine I purchased half a year ago is made out of plastic.2. The pulley is aluminum. Cheaper pullies are plastic.3. The machine is stable even without storage weight loaded. I left the storage weight horn empty and it feels solid.4. The sundial is a heavy solid piece of metal.5. The pop pin handle is metal, not plastic.6. Install instructions are easy. I used my own tools but the tools provided are pretty solid and the wrenches are surprisingly thick for furniture wrenches. I ended up keeping these wrenches. Generally, I always toss the furniture wrenches.7. I was concerned that the foot pad would flex and that the leg furthest from the weights would do less work but it's been very solid.Cons:1. I wish you can change the angle of the seat, especially for the prone leg curl position. Everything feels solid with no wobbles so I suppose if we make the seat adjustable, you'll lose that benefit. Given how the seat slants back, it makes getting into the prone position a bit awkward. You have to flop down. Secondly, I was hoping to use this for hip thrusts by putting my back on the edge of the seat. It's angled a bit too high so you have to wiggle your way into position.2. The back rest is a bit thin and not adjustable. At 5'10", the default seating settings works for me but may not work for everyone else. I was also hoping that there isn't a giant logo on the backrest.3. Some parts came scratched but at this price point, I'm fine with it.Notes:1. Although the machine footprint length is 50.9", the actual length you need is your height since you'll be laying flat to do prone curls. Plan for that.It's my second equipment from Ritfit in half a year and they had made large leaps in such a short amount of time. All my cons very very minor and none of them are a deal breaker. I can't find another leg machine with a consistent power curve for this price range.

Well engineered. Good instructions to put together although it still took a couple of hours. Smooth mechanics for both front and back of legs. Very sturdy as well. I like this leg curl better than the one at my gym.

Fits perfect in my garage. My wife (5' 4") and myself (6'0") both love this product. Leg extensions and curls are so smooth. I have been using this machine twice a week and loading up to 250lbs without issue. Setup instructions were easy to follow, only took me 15 minutes to setup.

Very easy to build and did it in about an hour. This equipment is very sturdy and smooth. I highly recommend this one! Very heavy too which is good.

Yes, there are better (selectorized, weight stack) models out there - at a much higher price. This machine takes some time/experimentation to optimize. I ended up buying a HUSLA leg extension add on pad to improve the stretch for leg extensions, and a put a flat pad I already own under my stomach to improve the resistance curve for leg curls (and bridge the wide gap between the seat and back rest). Plastic end pieces on the feet tend to pop off, but they can be put back on - an expected annoyance at this price point, I’d say.With all of that, it’s a solid piece. Easy to assemble (I understand - I paid someone to do it for me because I suck at these things), small footprint, light enough to be moved by just one person if need be, stable enough, can handle lots of load, great for those of us who already have weight plates. If you take the time to optimize it to fit your body, it has a very good resistance curve.

Great machine, arrived clean and undamaged, all parts accounted for and assembled fairly easy. I’ve been in commercial gyms most of my life and the quality and feel of the piece is right up there with the best commercial gym equipment. I’m looking forward to the arrival of my new leg press after seeing and using this item. Well done Ritfit well done.

Had this about a month now. I think its great for the price. It's not a 3k dollar machine so you shouldn't expect it to be. I could see it getting flexy if you run it up 9n weight capacity. I am currently and in the future going to do everything single leg and alternate to keep the total weight down. I think it will be great for anyone who isn't super serious with their lifting. It's a great compliment to round out the m1 2.0 which also falls into the same category. Zero regrets. Quality is fine as far as im concerned with regards to welds, and assembly ease and what not. I have a hard time believing they won't raise the price on this at some point.

For leg extension.....This is not made for people with longer femurs.....if i have the back rest straight up for leg extensions the knee bend is not at the right angle....so the range of motion is off some.....I had to lay the back rest all the way back and scoot back some. Not as adjustable as I would like. Does function as I need it too and will work fine in my home gym. Was easy to put together and the instructions were clear. Shipped very fast so that was a plus. Its not huge or too heavy to move around the gym as necessary to make room for more equipment.Works ok for leg curls just doesnt quite have the right angles as one in the actual gym so its a little uncomfortable, but it works
