Marcy 150lb Stack Home Gym | MWM-990

This is my 2nd Marcy Home Gym, since the first one lasted 32 years. Even thought at times we've had gym memberships, we've preferred weight training at home as far more convenient with no wait times for machines. We've had a 300 lb stack Marcy EMPro-1 since 1990. The only thing I repaired was recovering the bench and preacher pad, never even had to replace a cable. When a weld on our EMPro-1 fly bracket started to fail it was time to start looking for a replacement gym. Marcy/IMPEX makes a long lasting great product so I went for another instead of switching brands. Now at age 76 with 3 herniated lumber discs I am no longer into heavy duty body building, but more into lighter strength training maintenance. The MWM-990 fit the bill. It is not as robust as the former that was heavy gauge steel, iron weights and double the size, but I find is actually much easier to use with less setup for different exercises. I like the coated weights and don't miss the clang of the iron weights. I'm 6'1" and with an extra cushion I can adjust my seating up or down to accommodate press or leg extension functions to fit correctly. A rubber stop on top of the weight stack keeps it quiet since it does hit the top bracket once in a while at full extension because of my height. Assembly was 6 hrs for me with great instructions and well labeled hardware. Although I no longer have an overhead press like on the EMPro-1, I've always had a free weight bar and barbells so don't miss that function. This is a good machine for beginners and seniors as well as home supplement for serious gym rats. Customer service is excellent.

Pretty straightforward instructions. Very well built.

Great equipment! Easy to install. It does everything we were hoping for in a home gym.

Easy to install. Love the different workouts I can do with it. Not too bulky but it is sturdy. Good movement with the cables. Overall a good piece of equipment. I recommend

I really like this home gym! Easy setup and it is a very sturdy machine

We bought this during the height of Covid when stock was scarce and we waited over a month for delivery. But we've now had it for a couple of years and it is still used daily. Everything still works smoothly and we have not had any problems.

I must say I turned 79 today and I have ordered and assembled many items in my adult life and this has to be the best. The design, engineering, manufacturing, quality, ease of assembly, directions and everything was top notch. My congratulations to any and everyone connected to this project

Weight machine arrived within days of placing order. Machine is solid well built construction. Easily assembled by myself in one day. Watched a couple of useful YouTube videos done by others that made assembly simple, in addition to the enclosed instructions. Very happy with the machine and the results that I am already getting!

I love this addition to my home gym. I had one cable issue straight out of the box, and was very impressed with the responsiveness from customer service to resolve the issue timely. Highly recommend this company and their products.

Good product for home , does exactly what it is meant to do, I will recommend to anyone who doesn’t have time to go to a normal gym. Very happy with my home gym

The gym is very good except the bicep station does not work well

Hey folks. Ok my wife and I are in love with the Marcy Stack machine, we are 59 and 65 years old and here are our thoughts. First it was not hard to put together , yes it took a few hours but hey we became familiar with our new machine. Second I myself years ago had been big into lifting and life got in the way or I did and stopped. This machine is more then capable of getting you were you want or need to be. Now I am not Dwayne Johnson so if you are then this is not for you . But if you are like 90% of us you will be just fine and do well. We have no complaints on construction or usability and it does more then exercises shown so dig in. The 150 pounds is not actually true as you can bench 200 if you look at sheet for upper lower and so on chart for bench or curls so I doubt most will ever get beyond this in routines . I say this only Because I think most are looking for affordable , convenient solid home gym to get in shape. It does not take up much room and goes between functions easily and quickly. I just can not say enough about this machine. We put a rubberized matt down to protect floor in home other then that good to go. Oh we did buy a pull down rope love it too btw. So yeah we / I dont usually do reviews but really felt we should on this one. We have had this for about 6 months and are on it 3-4 times a week. A little plaque says Marcy " for when you finally get serious " we are glad we did...
