got this last year to do the main barbell exercises while the gyms were closed during lockdown: bench presses, squats, standing overhead presses, and deadlifts. The solid wood bench of the Retro Soloflex makes it ideal for the last three standing exercises, as you don't want to stand on a cushioned bench for those for stability reasons.

Made in the USA and built to last out of steel and wood.

Includes some replacement BodyKore weight straps I bought to replace original weight straps that snapped, plus 2.5lbs-equivalent straps to facilitate micro loading.

Excellent alternative to free weights if you want to build strength.

Simple assembly, very few parts. Disassembled, the largest part is an L-shaped piece of steel about 6' by 3'; it fit fine in a Ford Escape with end the long part resting between the front seats.
