GMWD Leg Extension and Curl Machine, Single Leg Extension, Lying Leg Curl, Standing Leg Curl, Adjustable Leg Exercise Bench with Plate Loaded, Leg Machine Home Gym, Red

Beautiful design. I got the red color! Excellent machine for home use. It does have a significant footprint, so make sure you make your measurements before buying. I got this for very good price (2025 Thanksgiving/Christmas discount). I have used it for the 3 exercises so far. Seated Leg Extension, Lying Leg Curl, and Standing single leg curl. All worked great. It's tricky, make sure you see the instruction manual and YouTube videos to know the different set up of seat cushion and backrest of each of these 3 different exercises. I have seen YouTube video of a guy doing hip thrusts with this machine, I don't recommend that, it's not designed for this and the movement is not stable and safe if you do hip thrusts. Assembly is easy, took me about an hour and a half and I am not a handyman at all. The machine is stable on the ground, specially after you add on your weight plates. There were minor scratches and dents (see pictures) out of the box, not a big deal and does not affect machine operation. The seat (3 different positions) and the backrest (2 different positions) have some wiggle and they don't lock in place 100%, not sure if this is by design but again not a big deal. The lysing (horizontal) leg curl, is little tricky and you need to adjust the foot pad position and figure out where to position your hip on the V-hinge to make it effective. Notice that you may have to use lighter weights than you think because this position really isolate the hamstrings and you are not using any secondary muscles in the move. I noticed that my weight plates collar clamps (standard) do not fit tight on the weight bar in this machine which is kinda annoying but also not a big deal because in the box they include collar springs which does the job in keeping the plates in place. According to their specs, we can load up to 350 lb per side, that's a weight most of us will not reach! but I think up to 200 lb per side will be safe and stable on this machine, I mean remember this is designed for home use, not commercial us. The movements of foot pad is smooth and I don't see issues with it.

I am a life long gym rat and as I am getting older I can no longer just rely on squats and deadlifts for quad and hamstring size. This machine is the perfect addition to my home gym at a perfect price. It is every bit as good a commercial leg extension and just a small step below a commercial leg curl. I was very skeptical when purchasing this as the reviews state there isn't a constant weight tension due to it being a plate loaded machine, but that is wrong. You can adjust it to get a very good pump and workout. Leg extensions and leg curls are not mass builders anyway, they are a finishing move and they should be performed slowly and in a controlled manner to elicit a deep burn. This machine really is perfect for that and it has truly exceeded my expectations at this price point! If you are an experienced lifter and you are looking to get a gym quality workout with some variation at home, this machine is perfect for that. Tip: You don't need a lot of weight for this at all. I use 45 lbs for each leg on leg extension, and 25 to 35 lbs for leg curls. I am a strong experienced lifter as well. Cons: When doing leg lying down leg extensions, it is hard to get inside the machine to perform the curls, the solution is to adjust one leg down and then step in and do one leg at a time. A very slight inconvenience as it is just pulling one pin and dropping the leg out of the way on the one side. You must also find the tension range for the lying down leg curls. You will not get a lot of tension at the very top, so focus on the bottom part of the exercise. You will still get a much better burn than just doing straight leg deadlifts. Standing leg curls will hit the upper range for leg curls. Other cons are the machine does take up a lot of space, about 7x3 feet, so make sure you have enough room. The machine is well built and I do not see any reason why it wont last at least 7-10 years if it is just being used once or twice a week in a home gym. The bottom grab handles could be a bit beefier but that is nit picking. Assembly was very easy, did it by myself in 90 minutes. Do not mix up the allen key bolts with the standard socket bolts. Just use the directions and you will be fine.

Overall, the total machine is great. 11 gauge steel, built like a tank. 1st major issue: On several post there are deep scratches, noticeable from a distance. The box was undamaged and it was packed adequately, so I would say, poor quality control. 2nd major issue is unequal leg positions. No matter how close you make the adjustment, they are still asymmetrical with each other. (Not sure if this develops the muscles differently, but having 1 inch distal leverage on one leg vs the other would seem likely) The 3rd issue, but not major: The seat has slack in it, so you get the rocking horse effect. I would have either added a locking pin or made the original hole smaller. Otherwise, the machine is great. Up to 350 per leg Individual extensions or simultaneous extensions , Individual standing reverse leg curls or flex Individual extension or simultaneous laying curls.

I am very impressed with the quality and sturdiness of the leg extension leg curl machine. The price was reasonable also. There are very few pieces to assemble but you definitely need assistance for the first few steps.

Sturdy. Looks professional, good quality.. Easy to assembly ( might need some extra tools to speed process )
