Strongway Dual Pulley Review
The Strongway Dual Pulley squeezes a 72kg stack and an extra leg curl station into a compact frame, making it the pick for more resistance than the budget machines without much more floor space.

The verdict
The Dual Pulley is the compact, cheaper Strongway, and it earns its place by fitting a 72kg stack and a dual pulley system into a 165 by 105cm frame. It carries the same core stations as its bigger sibling, a dual-action chest press and pec deck, high and low pulleys, an adjustable preacher pad and a butterfly press, and adds a leg curl station on top.
That combination makes it a strong middle option, more resistance than the 45kg budget machines, in a footprint that still suits a spare room. Owners rate it well but note a build of around four hours. At £469.95 on Amazon it is a lot of stack and stations for the money, with the usual budget caveats around finish and Amazon-based support.
Strengths
- A 72kg stack in a compact 165 by 105cm frame
- Adds a leg curl station over the bigger Strongway
- Dual-action chest press and pec deck
- Double pulley system for fine control
- More resistance than the 45kg budget machines
Watch-outs
- A build of around four hours, by owner accounts
- Support runs through Amazon rather than a retailer
- Fixed rather than multi-grip handle
- Functional budget finish
Stack, stations and footprint
The Dual Pulley’s appeal is resistance for the space. A 72kg stack is a meaningful step up from the 45kg budget machines, and it sits in a compact 165 by 105cm frame that still fits a spare room. The station set is generous, a dual-action chest station with press and pec deck, high and low pulleys, an adjustable preacher pad, a butterfly press and a leg curl station that its larger sibling does not include.
The double pulley system gives smooth, controllable resistance, and the alloy steel frame is sturdy enough for regular training.
The build and the caveats
As with the bigger Strongway, the build is the main commitment. Owners report it takes around four hours, so set aside an afternoon and, where possible, enlist a second pair of hands, taking particular care over the cables. The finish is functional rather than premium, and as an Amazon purchase, support and returns run through Amazon rather than a specialist retailer.
Who it is for
Buy the Strongway Dual Pulley if you want more than a 45kg stack but do not have room, or budget, for a full-size 100kg machine. If you want the biggest stack Strongway offers, the Multi Gym with Weights goes to 100kg, and if you want a trusted brand at a similar compact size, the DKN Studio 7400 has a bigger 80kg stack.
