Body Craft Family Xpress 2 Stack Home Gyms
Click here if you don't have time to read the review
 Our reviews of home gyms would not be complete without a look at Body Craft's Big Daddy. That's not the name of these home gyms but its what we like to call them. This 2 stack legend keeps in step with the rest of Body Craft's quality products.
As the name suggests, the Family Xpress is a gym that can be used by all the family because it has multiple stations (3 with optional 4th) and 2 weight stacks permitting multiple users. It also offers the greatest range of exercises of any home gym, quite a claim we know but it is not without merit. Like its smaller brother, the Xpress Home Gym (also reviewed in Home Gym Review), the Family Xpress has cable arms instead of a pec dec. And these amazingly versatile cable arms allow for heaps of extra exercises that you can't do with a pec dec.
Like the Body Craft Galena (also reviewed in Home Gym Review) and Xpress, the Family Xpress has earned the recognition of Consumer Guide who have awarded it the honor of displaying their "Recommended" badge.

Whoa, that is heaps of equipment and exercises. We here at Home Gym Review didn't want to stop playing with this gym. Using the cable arms we were able to come up with some great sport specific exercises not mentioned above. Most importantly they were exercises we couldn't do on most other homegyms.
