What Are Your Goals?
Do you want to lose weight and tone out? Do you want to bulk up and try and actually put on a few pounds? Are you just looking to gain strength regardless of how you look? Really drill down and look within yourself to figure out what you want. This is the most important aspect of choosing your exercise machine.Looking to bulk up/ Gain Strength?
If you are trying to add a few pounds of muscle, or a lot of muscle you are going to want to choose a machine that has a high amount of resistance with it.
Honestly, the Gold's Gym XR55 is a fantastic workout machine. It doesn't take up a huge amount of room, the resistance is massive, especially for that price, and it has a ton of different exercises that are guaranteed to keep your body guessing for years to come. I highly recommend it.
Trying to Slim Down and Tone Up?
The Bowflex PR1000 home gym is a great starting point for anyone looking to build some muscle and tone up. Bowflex receives a lot of criticism as it's resistance is not controlled by weights, however, the fact of the matter is that the resistance is still there and it's actually quite impressive.The Bowflex PR1000 has a whopping 210 lbs of resistance available with over 30 exercises.
Option number two for toning up is without a doubt the Weider Ultimate Body Works. This machine was built for toning up. The weight resistance is low and can only go 50 lbs above what your weight is but this is perfect for high intensity, high volume work.
How Much Experience Do You Have?
What is your level of experience? Are you a power lifter that is tired of waiting in line for the squat machine at the gym or are you just now getting into fitness?
How Much Room Do You Have?
Most of the machines I have recommended here will have no problem fitting into an average size gym.
What is Your Budget?
The biggest number that will be entering into the equation here is the price.
