Should you buy the Marcy MWM-990 Home Gym?
The Marcy MWM-990 Home Gym is for someone who wants guided, pin-select machine training with no plates to load or spot. At $599.00 it ranks #7 of 10 in our Adjustable Dumbbells & Home Gyms category. If you want free weights and more headroom for less money, the Sportsroyals Power Rack with Pulleys is $319.99 before plates. The BowFlex PR1000 Home Gym trades the stack for Power Rods and adds a rowing seat.
Where it earns its score
- No plates to load. Pull the pin and set the stack; the safety lock also keeps kids from using it.
- Full-body stations. Press arms, lat bar, low pulley, leg developer and curl pad cover 30-plus exercises.
- Steady ratings. 2,408 ratings at 4.4 stars give satisfaction 88 and support reliability at 80.
- Clear warranty. Marcy states a 2-year limited warranty, twice the frame term on the BowFlex PR1000 Home Gym.
What to know first
- Warranty is the lowest factor at 66. Marcy's 2-year limited term is fair for a stack machine but well short of PowerBlock's 5 years.
- 150 lb runs out. At $599.00, the stack is light for legs and rows once you have trained for a few months, which is why value sits at 76.
- Stock and space. The listing showed no availability message when we checked, and it needs a 68 x 42 inch footprint with 78 inches of height.
Our verdict
The Marcy MWM-990 Home Gym scores 78, a Fair Buy and #7 in our Adjustable Dumbbells & Home Gyms category. Satisfaction (88) and features (80) lead; value (76) holds it back. Buy it for simple, pin-select machine work with no spotter. For more capacity per dollar, the Sportsroyals Power Rack with Pulleys scores 79 at $319.99.
