I had been using the gym sets before and it feels great to work out to work on my muscles. I used it at school long time ago and Uncle Tim have the weight sets and it was different and I enjoy working out using the weight sets.

I bought the XP 300 so I could work out at home without a spotter. The Smith machine works fine and allows you to lift heavy in safety. It's great for bench presses, incline presses, decline presses, leg lifts and leg curls.

If you want to work out alone and at home this is an ideal system to use. A great value.

It is an excellent substitute to the hordes of people at our local gym. We've owned a Pro-Form treadmill for nearly a decade, so we figured we could not go wrong with this home gym. It is, surprisingly, extremely sturdy. We also picked up a couple 25lb. plates, because it didn't come with any and we already had 35lb. and 45lb. plates at home already. Post-installation, we were very pleased. Our only minor complaint is that the bar is a bit sticky at times when using the benchpress. Otherwise, it's a great well-rounded machine for someone who enjoys the convenience of a home multi-gym apparatus....

Very nice. I was getting too strong for my spotter and the built-in ones work great. I have a few problems: 1, like someone else said the bench is a little wobbly with weight on it. 2, It is harder (dont know about you but for me) to bench weight on this, With my old weight bench (free weights NO guides/spotters/etc..) i was bench pressing 140lbs, when i got this i could only bench 100 (40lbs less). i dont know why, does anyone else have this problem? (I think it's because the angle of the guides, instead of straight up and down you are forced to puch it up at an angle). MAKE SURE YOU OIL THE GUIDES (two chromed poles attached to the bar)...

We have a proform eliptical and treadmill, so I knew I could not go wrong with this smith machine, even after read all the reviews and opinions, people were so wrong. This thing is great. I have only had it over a week and have already gained so much on my bench press. It takes out some of the balance work, so you can pack on the weight!! This is now my 5th bench system I have purchased in 5yrs. i have wanted a machine like this, but were always too expensive. This was so resonable. I have worked out now few times a week for about 16 yrs. now. I"m no god, but its all about to change NOW! with this machine. It did take a good 4 to 5 hrs. to put it together, but I took my time, and it turned out great. Directions were very good! Just a little tip for u boys that are spraying oil on the chrome rods for a smoother action while benching. I am waxing them with a car wax. works great! and no dirt sticking in the grease either. give it a try. I figure it will keep them from rusting also, as I have......

The machine appears to be a decent piece of workout equipment. However, I have run into a couple problems with the assembly. First the locking bar doesn't fit into the uprights at lower levels. Second, the barbell screw holes are in the wrong place for the weight stops. I have followed the manual to a tee and it just isn't matching up. Sears has been great with replacing the pieces, but I'm running into the same problems. Apparently they had the same problems with their floor model because they put the bar guiides on backward so the screw holes would line up. I should have known the price was too good to be true. Don't waste your money....

123lift says "XP300 Review" about ProForm XP Weight Bench, XP300

sears-feed — Thu, 10 May 2007 22:30:18 GMT

Overall, I'm very satisfied with the XP300. It's not in the same league as equipment you'll find at your local gym, however, it's a good buy for the money and you can get pretty much the same workout plus having the convenience of doing it in your own home. I bought it onsale off of the webiste for $299 and then had to buy 320 lbs worth of free weights for about $100. Assembly can be a little time consuming, but can be done with 1 person, I think it took ~3-4 hours to complete. So far the only complaint I have is that the two guides on the smith machine don't slide as well as they should. On my machine they tend to bind up a little when doing squats as I raise up. If there aren't any weights on the storage racks, sometime it will bind enough where the front end of the frame will come off of the ground. I'm hoping to get some silicone grease to put on the the guide rods and I think that will take care of the problem. Other than that I like everything else, good option for someone......

This machine is very smooth (I use 3m oil spray on moving parts) and sturdy. I've been using it for about 2 months now. *GOOD value!.....The only thing I have notice with this machine is that if is not place on a "perfectly leveled & hard surface" it may wobble easily specially the bench press that comes with it since the front leg has no support on the sides. The legs extensions & curls don't have a good quality patting and if you place weights over 60lbs. the bench goes from one side to the other & you'll fill the hard piece of metal inside the cheap patting after a few minutes. They could of have done a better job & trow a few more attachments... Not so good for leg curls and/or leg extension if you are a "heavy" lifter! Over all this is a good economy and a OK quality machine that will replace having to drive to the gym every day and wait for some one to finish up talking to his or hers gym buddy so you can use the machine and finish your workout, plus NO MONTHLY FEES! This machine......

One thing that was not suggested by the manafacturer was a ratchet set, i found it to be most useful in the assembly process. Overall this is a good machine for the buck. Its much smoother and does not shake when I oiled the barbell guide before use....

sears-feed — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 02:35:10 GMT

I just purchased this machine, and I am impressed with it as a whole. It seems to operate smoothly, but as you up the weight poundage you use, such as in doing bench press or squats it becomes a little shakey. I do not no if this is because my machine sits on carpet or not. It is a great machine for the average weight lifter....

ChrisA says "Minor Problems" about ProForm XP Weight Bench, XP300

sears-feed — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 18:59:30 GMT

Overall the XP 300 seems like a great product. However, I had a couple of 'minor problems' during assembly. One piece had a 1" X 1" chunk of paint missing, one parts kit shorted me one washer, and one of the hole locations on the bottom plate was in the wrong spot and had to be re-drilled by hand. Besides a little touch-up paint, finding a washer, and drilling the bottom plate - the assembly was overall pretty manageable, and I completed it without any assistance. The exercise chart included with the machine is GREAT!! It lists almost 40 different exercises that can be done - and there are variations you could do on the ones shown. I'd highly recommend this equipment -- add a treadmill and get rid of your health club membership!!!!!!...
