Hi and happy holidays!
My husband wants to purchase an all body multi functional work-out home gym type piece of equipment! (Did I say that right?). Can anyone name a product we can investigate?? Thx!

    I would push him away from the "all in one" machines in favor of a squat rack, bench, and barbell set.

    This.

    He apparently didn't want to lift on and off the weights every time someone else used it (i.e. Me) he's done that in the past although he said there are pins to adjust, the pin idea seemed quicker and more doable, also he has really bad knees from sports so squats etc are hard .... Not sure what's best????

    Have some life limitations also. Do well with Bowflex Extreme 2 SE. Graduated resistance is great on joints.

    Thanks for your input!! Easy on the knees for both of us is important. That will be added to the investigation!

    That's exactly what I was going to suggest.
