Weider Home Gym Reviews

in Weider

How the mighty have fallen! Once upon a time the Weider Home Gym line reigned supreme as it was the only strength training option available to consumers for home use (and York Barbell on the East coast).

Luckily for you, now there’s tougher competition in the home gym market and better choices for the same money.

It’s still hard to believe that these gyms sell well at Sears, Walmart, Sam’s Club and other big box retailers where the general buying public still has an odd curiosity with Weider Home Gyms.

Beware, Weider home gym model numbers change more often than most people change their underwear to keep the negative ratings under control, it’s best to skip this manufacturer altogether.
