Home Gym, Workout Station with 150LBS Weight Stack, Multifunctional Home Gym Equipment, Exercise Equipment for Full Body Strength Training

Definitely worth the money, but with one small caveat: If you're 6'1" or taller, you're gonna feel that the machine is just a bit too small, but it's still managable. For example you can use less of the chain length to make the lat pulldown a better height. Since this also helps keep the whole unit very compact, I'm not going to deduct any stars on this point. Other than that, it's definitely one of the best home gym systems you can get for the price. It has enough functions that you can hit every muscle group. It's easy to use, sturdy, and it's super compact. There weren't any pieces missing, and it was packed very well. There were several pieces of thick cardboard protective corners and hard MDF boards protecting pieces in the box, along with a frankly excessive amount of bubble wrap on everything. Parts wrapped in bubble wrap were labeled with stickers put on the bubble wrap itself instead of the actual piece inside, which I didn't notice until I had already unwrapped a bunch of parts. The big pieces are all easily identifiable so it wasn't a big deal. It also keeps you from having to remove a hundred stickers from the assembled product, so that's nice. Unless you assemble equipment like this on a daily basis, you can expect to spend around 4 to 5 hours putting this together. On the seat there was an exposed staple tip that I didn't notice until it slashed my leg while getting into the seat, so watch out for any of those and bend them down flat. But I've been a cat owner for over 40 years so I'm no stranger to random scratches. And being a cat owner, I appreciate that the backrest and seat are easily removable. And I store the seats in the closet when they're not in use so my cats don't destroy them like they have with every other non-removable bench cushion I've owned. Also apparently I'm blind as a bat because I didn't notice they have a version with a Power Tower option. I definitely would have gotten that version instead. All the mounting holes for it seem to also be on the normal version, so it would be great if Mikolo sold the Power Tower as a standalone addon for people who already have the regular version and want to upgrade.

I want to start this review of the Mikolo 2025 ProStation with the exceptional customer service I received from the seller. - My first interaction with Customer Service happened around the scheduled delivery day. I received two boxes a couple of days early, but not all pieces were there for assembly. I waited until after the scheduled delivery, hoping the other two boxes would arrive. When they didn’t, I contacted the seller through Amazon. Within hours, the seller responded, providing exact details on the missing boxes, including tracking numbers and expected arrival day. Their information was spot on, and the boxes arrived as promised. - My second interaction with Customer Service was after assembly. One of the weight cover panels was dented during transit, and while it didn’t affect functionality, it did affect the machine's appearance. I contacted the Seller, explained the situation, and received a prompt response with apologies and several options to rectify the issue. The Seller not only replaced the dented piece but did so quickly and efficiently and went above and beyond. Now for the actual Mikolo ProStation. - Assembly took about five hours, spread over two days. I relied solely on the instruction booklet, which was well-written with clear pictures. While the included tools were sufficient, I used my own socket set for efficiency and to ensure everything was tight. After receiving all the boxes (4), there were no missing parts/no extra parts. - The unit’s construction is very sturdy, with no concerns about wobbling or weakness. The pulley system might be slightly stiff initially, but I expect it to loosen with use. This machine offers numerous exercises as advertised and includes all necessary accessories. I did purchase an additional free-weight pin to add Olympic free weights. - I've had the unit for about two weeks, using it four times a week. It exceeds my expectations in versatility and perfectly fits my family’s needs. Finally, another shout-out on the Customer Service (Mikolo Irene and Mikolo Iris). They were quick to respond, easy to work with, and truly care about the customer and product...they are ROCK Stars. I highly recommend this unit not just for its quality but for the outstanding customer service.

Great machine, takes a little bit to get used to. Directions are very helpful and fairly easy to follow. Well made and sturdy. It came in 2 different shipments which I was not happy with, or I would have given it 5 stars. Customer service is very good

I received package complete in 4 boxes. Previously before buying was reading about how people sometimes only got 2 boxes out of 4 and had to reach out to customer service about other boxes. Thankfully mine came completed. I put my machine in my garage, took me about a hour to open everything and lay everything on the floor to-be easier to set up and look for the parts. Took me about 4-5 hours in total to put it all together. Everything comes labeled which is very helpful. I did it by myself so i figured it took me a lil longer. Overall i am very excited about my workout machine. I am 5’8 tall and i feel good. But if you are taller i don't recommend it. I believe 5’8 is the max for this machine. Good price for an amazing machine. The only part im still having a lil issue is the guards the at cover the weights. Seems like the weight pin touches in the middle of the guards so it makes a lil noise when weights going up. But im sure i can fix that myself or see what i can do. But 100% recommend this workout machine to have at home.

I find that there are two categories of reviews: superficial “Nice product” and detailed ones that give me useful information. I hope most find that this is the later. I saw a Costco ad for a home gym and decided I was in the market for a one. Since there were none in the store and there was only one option there, I turned to my favorite on-line retailer and saw that Amazon had several. I narrowed my choices down to five that offered similar features and were in the same price range as the Mikolo so I started comparing them. When I look at ratings, I try to pick out any recurring negative issues and evaluate if they are fussy customers or systemic issues. Things like size, missing parts, flimsiness, shipping problems, and customer support were items I wanted to study. I also considered number of reviews (are other people buying this item?) and overall product and seller rating. I generally won’t buy something that has a rating of less than 4.3 or something that only has a handful of reviews. I ignore tons of positive empty reviews. Long ago I took a course at work that was essentially “Marketing for Engineers.” I heard of a mantle clock company that sold mantle clocks that were cheaper and better made than the competitor but weren’t selling well. They did a focus group and found that shoppers picked up the clock to see how heavy it was, not something that generally tells you how well it is made or how long it will last. The company’s sales skyrocketed after then added a piece of metal in the base of the clock to make it heavier. While I keep this in mind, I’m not going to buy most things based on weight. In the case of a home gym, I found this may be an important feature. The Mikolo listing said 300 pounds (probably a low estimate since the shipping weight was 346 pounds!). Of the five gyms I looked at, the advertised weights were 314, 300, 220, “your best guess #1” and “your best guess #2.” Considering that all had about 150 pound weight stacks, this means that the 220 pound unit has no more than 70 pounds of steel to hold it up while the Mikolo has at least 150 pounds of steel, closer to 190 when you look at the total shipping weight. In this case, for a 220 pound unit, 70 pounds supporting 150 seems rather flimsy. After I selected based on features and apparent heft, I looked at shipping times. This varied from 1 day to 6 days. Mikolo indicated delivery in 4-5 days. They actually shipped 1 day after I ordered and it arrived in 3 days. When Mikolo informed me of the tracking numbers, I was disappointed to see that they were using FedEx. I find that FedEx is among the least reliable carriers. I would have much preferred UPS or Amazon. I was afraid that with four boxes (weighing 70, 86, 92, and 98 pounds) some might be delivered to a neighbor, the next town, or halfway across my property. Fortunately, the FedEx driver did find my house and delivered to my door, although when he tried to hand carry the two boxes with the weight stack to the door, the packing strap on one of them broke. I was glad to see that the weights were sturdy enough to tolerate a three foot fall onto my highway grade concrete driveway with no damage to either. Parts The unit consists of 336 parts. I inventoried and sorted everything as I unpacked. All the hardware was nicely shrink wrapped on a cardboard card. Most of the part numbers were easily visible but a few were covered by the parts, not enough to inconvenience identification. Exactly one of the 71 washers needed was missing, but they provided 4 spares. There were also spares for other high count components that might get lost or damaged. Some parts were preassembled which slowed down the inventory as I read through instructions looking for the part was already there. Damage Tiny scuffs and a tiny crinkle on the weight shield, I doubt anyone can find it now that it is together. I only found it because I had to juggle the shield during assembly. Assembly The weight shields weren’t obvious on inspection which way was up and down. At first it appeared that the holes didn’t line up but when I realized it was upside down, it fit fine. They used two round holes and two oblong holes to allow for any manufacturing tolerances. I would have put the round holes at the top to make assembly a little easier. They provided stamped metric wrenches and Allen keys in case you have no tools. I used a metric ratchet combination wrench and a socket wrench as well as T handle Allen keys. The only sizes needed were 10, 17 and 24 mm wrenches and 3, 5 and 6 mm Allen keys. They suggest two person assembly. I did everything myself. There were one or two places a second person could have helped but I managed fine alone. Initial experience. The gym is very versatile. All the attachments needed are included for a variety of exercises – 18 different setups are illustrated on the sheets that can be attached to the device. There are attachable options with places to store most of them when not in use. I’m 5’11” and find it isn’t too small for me. At the other extreme, we have a 5’0” user who might have to stretch a little to reach the handles for the overhead pull down. Being able to adjust the weight from 10 to 154 pounds in 12 pound increments gives a nice overall range of exercise. Problems As I was assembling the gym, one of the arms was a very tight fit fitting the shaft into the preassembled bushings. When everything was finished, I saw that this led to difficulty in moving one of the arms when trying to do a chest fly exercise. I figured one of there things was wrong – either the shaft was bent, the shaft was oversize or the bushings were undersized. After sale support I contacted the customer support email address in the assembly manual. After waiting a few days for a response, I went online to find Mikolo’s web site. There was a different after sales customer support email address on the site. Using this email, I got a response in a little over a day with a trouble ticket number. After a few exchanges, including photos of the problem and a video, Mikolo FedEx’ed me replacement bushings. This solved the problem! The shaft diameter was 19.99 – 20.01 mm, the original bushings were 19.99 – 20.01 mm, so there was little to no clearance. The new bushings were 20.06 – 20.08 mm, providing at least 0.05 mm clearance and perfect operation. The bottom line A great product with outstanding customer support. It is easy to assemble, use and switch between different exercises. I’d buy the same product again with no concerns.

As someone completely new to strength training, I couldn’t be happier with the Mikolo Home Gym. This machine made starting my fitness journey so much easier and less intimidating. The instructions were clear enough for a beginner to follow, and once assembled, the setup felt sturdy and safe to use. I appreciate how this equipment allows me to work every major muscle group in one compact unit. The weight stack is more than enough for a beginner, and the wide range of exercises (chest press, lat pull-downs, leg extensions, etc.) helps keep workouts varied and effective. What really stands out is how smooth and quiet the pulleys are. I can work out early in the morning without waking up the household. Plus, the footprint is very reasonable—I fit it neatly into a spare room. If you’re new to working out and want a convenient, all-in-one solution at home, this Mikolo Home Gym is an excellent investment. It gives you the tools to build strength, confidence, and consistency at your own pace.

I received this gym a few days ago. I had to have my son take the large heavy boxes down to the basement but beyond that I built this thing myself. It took me three days but I did it. I am a woman and I am 70 years old. I am super proud of myself. This is a great gym. The instructions to build it are pretty good. I can’t wait to start using it now! I would highly recommend this gym for its small footprint, but at the same time great features and total workout.

I have never used another home gym, so I have no reference point as to how this compares to other home gyms. I did a fair amount of research before purchasing and some of the issues that I described below seem like they would be common to other home gyms as well. The Mikolo offers a lot of value for the money and has certainly been a great addition for me. Assembly: I would guess that it took me 8 hours to put together by myself working at a leisurely pace and spreading the work over a few days. The instructions are very clear and the parts are laid out extremely well. There is a lot going on in the assembly and I thought they did a great job of walking through it. Weights: The first plate is 10 pounds. Each of the 12 plates after that is 12 pounds. That gives the machine a total weight of 154 pounds. The leg press is the only exercise where I don’t feel I have room to grow with the machine, which I describe in more detail later on. Pulley Placements: I will admit that I didn’t fully appreciate that three pulleys are used in the majority of exercises. Low Pulley – Sits about 7 inches or so off the ground. This works great. I left an extra 4 feet in front of the machine and I pretty much use all of that space on some exercises. So give that extra space some thought when you are thinking about where you’d put the machine. Medium Pulley – This sits around 4’4” off the ground, I’m 5’10” and this ends up being chest height for me, which is perfect. Two downsides I’ve seen here. The range of motion on the middle pulley is limited for some exercises, so you can’t properly complete the motion without slamming the weights into the top of the machine. Another downside, positioning yourself around the leg extension equipment isn’t always easy to do. High Pulley – This sits around 6 feet high which is fine for me. Again, the limited range of motion causes issues on some exercises as I can’t pull down as low as I’d like without slamming the weights into the top of the machine. Included Detachable Accessories / Equipment: Lat Bar, Straight Bar, Rope, Two D-Handles, 6 link chain, 12 link chain, ankle attachment – I thought these were all fine and I continue to use them Preacher Curl Pad – it takes up space and I only use it for one exercise, but it works well Leg Press – Well constructed. However, as I beginner, I could max out the weights using both legs I’ve only had the unit for about two months, and I’m fairly close to being able to max out the leg press even when using only one leg. So if the leg press is a major feature you are looking for, I would be concerned that you would max it out quickly. Other Equipment: Leg Extension: Overall, this works well. I wish I could bring my legs a little closer to parallel with the floor, but I get that the limit may be a safety feature. Seated Chest Press: This works well for me. You have to get used to gripping it in a certain way so that you don’t start activating the fly. Seated Chest Fly: I feel a decent amount of tension on the shoulders at the start of the exercise and I also don’t get a great press at the end of the exercise. But I say this comparing this to my prior experiences using dedicated commercial grade machines at the gym. My guess is that this would stack up just fine to other home gyms. Separately Purchased Equipment that I would recommend: Rowing Double-D Handle Longer Straight Bar Weight Stack Pin, 2.5 lb., 5 lb., and 10 lb. barbell plates – this is how I micro-load weights between the 12-pound plate increments. I left some space behind the machine to manage the process. I did not purchase the Power Tower with my unit. I bought a Power Tower separately which was cheaper and also appears to be of higher quality. I would not post the included exercise stickers or even try to follow them. There is no true exercise guide included. I think you would be much better served developing your own program. YouTube videos went a long way for me. And a last thought, we aren’t dealing with dedicated commercial grade equipment. A lot of the time between exercises is spent changing attachments and adjusting weights. That wasn’t a surprise to me, but it is a frustration point for others in my household.

- takes a bit of time to assemble - the seat should be longer - lat pull down is not easy when you fear falling down - leg extension is not easy - other than this, this machine is worth the money .. for regular exercise. - I like it - the seller is very cooperative

Yes, I know many people said it took them 2 hours or so, but for me, it took the whole week because I had other things to do as well. However, the assembly was not too bad. As a tip, I recommend reading two pages of instructions before moving on to the next step instead of just one page at a time; it will save you headaches. The material and workmanship are great, and it looks fantastic too. My basement is exactly 8 feet high, so it fits perfectly. There's more good to say about this machine, but I won't make the review too long. Believe me, this machine is made for professional-grade gym owners. Now I will lose my 1,000 pounds! :)

Please read fully. So i waited until I used this a few times to give a review. The gym took some time to put it together and some of the diagrams were not clear. The parts all come labelled however the bolts and other parts sometimes covered up the labels on the package. With an educated guess you could find the part you needed. Once assembled the unit looks good and has a lot of functions. Now for the issues I see with it. I find the seat, back support and preacher curl attachments cheap, pressboard with not much support and I feel they will not last with only two bolts to secure them to the supports. The seat is limited in its settings, so when I want to turn around and use the chest press arms to pull back towards me the seat is too low for my liking. The chest press arms do not lock either so when you are pushing out. one arm could turn in the fly position while doing so if the force on each arm isn't balanced. I have felt the arm start to turn a few times. I worry about the short bolt that connects the hand grips to the chess press arms might not last either, the arms could have been all one piece. The lat pull down bar has grips on the end that slip while using it. The bar should have either a knurled grip or a ridged end that your hands won't slip past. You have to play with the gym and its attachments especially the chain lengths to find what works for you. it is not self explanatory as they just show you setting it up but not how to use it. The seated triceps extension exercise is one of these cases. The location of this connection is behind my neck not above my head so if i want to use this i have to lean over forward to achieve this. The seated rowing I find is more effective if i remove the chain and get a better rowing motion while leaning in deeper to get the full effect. As another reviewer had said it is tight and getting into the seated position is hard and to use the leg press it is awkward as it very close. I feel like the leg press doesn't give the same workout as at the gym but it is effective. Now for the good stuff. Overall the gym gives a pretty good workout but you must be mindful of these issues. There is a leg wrap that you can wrap around your ankle and attach to the gym and I find this a nice feature. Lots of options for working your entire body. Money wise it is a good value for the money spent. I am not trying to deter anyone just trying to help with expectations. An informed consumer is a wise consumer. The manufacturer could improve some of the downfalls in future models easily.

Very good unit and professional
