My yearly gym pass as well as my brothers is almost expired and he was thinking about getting an in-expensive home gym instead. It would be a lot more convenient for both of us in our busy lives and save time/money on travelling to the gym. We don't have too much money lying around so we aren't looking to spend thousands of dollars.

He's thinking about the "Body-Solid free weight leverage gym" and a store is offering it to him at the $1000 (Canadian) price range plus tax.

This model:

Does anyone have any experience with this company or their equipment? I know actual freeweights would be best, but there is a safety concern because we don't work out the same time so no spotter. We are also working on expanding our dumbell sets though to go along with the adjustable bench we already have.

Thanks for your help.
