WEIGHT RESISTANCE SYSTEM
To begin with, the Marcy MWM990 comes with a weight stack including 14 plates, approx. 10 lbs (4.5 kg) each. The top support plate also weighs 10 lbs, thus the total weight of the stack is 150 lbs (68 kg).
The weight ratios vary depending on the pulley. The maximum weight resistance output provided is 200 lbs (90.7 kg), which applies to the press station. In case you’re interested in the other weight ratios, you can find them in the table below.
-
CHEST PRESS STATION: for triceps, shoulders, and pectoral muscle training.
-
PEC FLY STATION: for pectoral and deltoid muscles training.
-
HIGH PULLEY STATION: for lat pulldown exercises, and the training of triceps, shoulders and back muscles.
-
LOW PULLEY STATION: the pulley attached to the lower front part of the machine can actually facilitate a wide array of exercises, such as stand-up curls, triceps kickbacks, squats and more.
-
CURL PAD ATTACHMENT: as we’ve mentioned above, the curl pad is vertically adjustable offering several positions. Evidently, this workout station provides several types of exercises for the arm muscles.
-
LEG DEVELOPER: this accessory is designed mainly for leg extensions. The machine’s seat is not long enough to support face-down leg curls. But nonetheless, you can perform one-leg stand-up curls by using the ankle strap.
Good, simple, solid, attractive gym
I quite like this gym. It's simple and clean looking. It's sturdy and well-made. The instructions were clear and it was relatively easy to assemble. My only gripe is that I'm a fairly tall guy (6' 3") and if I sit up straight my head just grazes the top bar.

Delivery was slow but quality was solid
It took a long time for delivery which left our lives in limbo while we stayed home, however the quality of the parts was very good. We managed to find a video online as to how to put it together, but to be honest, the instructions in the manual were more than ample. We put it together in less than 5 hours and it is stunning. Only disappointment is that the additional bar was not included nor an extra attachment to the lower cable for pullups/biceps curls etc. Will have to source these separately, else some of the exercises cannot be done. However it is a good stable machine and will afford us many years of workouts.
