adidas Home Gym Review
The adidas Home Gym is the sensible middle option, a solidly built 70kg machine that, unusually at this level, includes a proper leg press as well as a full set of cable stations.

The verdict
The adidas Home Gym sits neatly between the budget machines and the full 100kg all-rounders. It is built on a heavy-duty 50mm steel frame with a 70kg pin-loaded stack, and its standout feature is an integrated leg press alongside the usual leg developer, which most multi gyms at this price do not offer. The push and pull station has pivoting arms for flyes, and a removable preacher pad handles isolated bicep work.
It takes users up to 150kg, the highest limit of any machine in our guide, and comes complete with a lat bar, short bar, ankle strap and adjustable handle straps. Precision pulleys keep it quiet and smooth. At £649 it is only lightly discounted, but the build quality and the leg press justify it for anyone who wants a solid all-rounder without stepping up to a 100kg stack.
Strengths
- 70kg pin-loaded stack on a heavy 50mm steel frame
- Integrated leg press as well as a leg developer
- Push and pull station with pivoting arms for flyes
- Highest user weight limit here at 150kg
- Lat bar, short bar, ankle strap and handle straps included
- Quiet, precision pulleys and a two-year warranty
Watch-outs
- The 70kg stack will eventually limit strong pressers
- Only a small discount at present
- A large footprint to house
- A multi-hour build, as with any machine this size
Build and the leg press
The Home Gym is put together on a heavy-duty 50mm by 50mm steel frame with a durable powder-coated finish, and it feels solid and stable in use. The 70kg pin-loaded stack drives a full set of stations, and the addition of a genuine leg press, not just a seated leg extension, is what sets it apart at this level and price. Precision-crafted pulleys keep the action quiet and smooth.
The push and pull station uses pivoting arms so you can perform flyes as well as presses, and the removable preacher pad allows focused curls. The included lat bar, short bar, ankle strap and handle straps mean you are set up for a wide range of movements from day one.
Size, user limit and value
The footprint is 188 by 108cm and it stands 217.5cm tall, so it needs real space and a check of your ceiling height. The 150kg maximum user weight is the most generous here, which makes it a good choice for larger or heavier users. At £649 the discount is currently small, but you are paying for a genuinely solid build and the leg press, and it carries a two-year warranty.
Who it is for
Buy the adidas Home Gym if you want adidas build quality and a proper leg press, and you do not need the full 100kg stack. If you do want 100kg, the adidas Performance and York Perform are the step up, and if budget matters more than the leg press, the DKN Studio 7400 offers a bigger 80kg stack for less.
