RitFit Leg Press Hack Squat Machine with Linear Bearing, 1200LB Capacity

I've bought and built alot of products from online purchases. The assembly instructions, parts, and tools provided for install are ELITE. I'll buy RitFit whenever possible for this alone. Leg Press is excellent, the foot plate is a little small and restrictive (Can't do calf press) but that is part of buying a multi function machine at an affordable price. Hack Squat is easy to setup and utilize, like the different lifts available with it.

Rock solid construction and design, well engineered and nicely manufactured. Smooth action and function, I should get many years of use. I am amazed something this large could be shipped via FedEx. Took several sessions to unpack and assemble. Instructions were great, easy to understand and the hardware nicely organized for each step. You will be best served by using your own tools, i.e. ratchet and wrenches else the process will take much longer. It's will be helpful if you have some DIY experience and or a friend to assist. It recommends two people to assemble, while it would have been nice I did it alone.

It’s a little on the spiller side as far as the leg press foot placement. Other than that it was easy to figure out assembly and the product is smooth and handles what I throw at it.

As a hack squat machine this is fantastic. Assembly was pretty simple and there are plenty of YouTube videos that explain things. We had an issue with a part that arrived damaged but customer service was quick and friendly. The only problem I run into is the height limit. I’m slightly over 6’4” and occasionally hit the top bumper if I come up quickly. Regarding the combo function in using it as a leg press: again, it works really well. My only issue is that there is only one rack for plates. You will not be able to go over 600 pounds without some sketchy stacking. If it had another rack to expand the weight limit I would have given 5 stars. Overall you really can’t beat this for the price, definitely recommend.

Packaging and instructions were very good. Easy to put together, did it by myself. An extra set of hands would make it easier but is in no way necessary. Some steps are easier if the previous step hasn't been fully tightened yet. If you have any sort of mechanical inclination and ability this will be a breeze. Comes with tools, even a double ended ratchet wrench. Don't recommend impact wrench as it will start squeezing the tubing, hand tools only based on my experience. When installing the guide rails that the slide moves on, do the lower bolts first so you're able to fit the short end of Allen key into bolt head. Otherwise the handle on the frame will be in the way. I found this out and ended up using my cut-off wheel to make a shortend Allen wrench because even an Allen socket bit wouldn't fit and I didn't feel like taking the top back apart. If you have uneven concrete flooring I recommend using cardboard or those gym/stall mats under the machine, since it is so rigid or it will wobble and rattle on the uneven floor. Overall I am very pleased with the quality of the machine and will update later with any issues, etc.

Had problems with delivery and then missing parts but they fixed it and turned out to be great addition to our home gym. The

Have used this for about 6 months now, and I am still happy with my purchase. Use at least twice a week, between hack squat, leg press and calf raises. Takes up minimal space for what it is and still works great. Takes seconds to switch from hack squat to leg press and vice versa. Simple pull pins to fold up/down the foot plate and move the back pad. I don’t have any weights on the storage posts and even on leg press there is no wobble or movement during reps. I’m not a fan of the vertical weight posts on the floor, I would rather have them on the back facing out but it’s not a deal breaker, I just don’t use them. I have had nearly 400 lbs on leg press and have not heard any noises that would concern me and cause me to stop. I usually wipe down and oil the guide rods every few weeks, just minimal maintenance. Assembly was fairly quick and straightforward, took maybe an hour or less. I had emailed Ritfit to ask what the empty weight of the sled is and they gave me the entire machines weight, but I found on the website states it weighs 35# with no plates on. I’m 5’11, range of motion is fine, I find I can bottom out on occasion but not an issue for me. My son who is a few inches shorter usually puts a 45# bumper plate behind the seat pad for leg press to gain range back and that works for him, although increases setup time. Same for hack squats. Overall, for a garage gym at home, I would recommend. Works well for my use.

So easy to put together. Took me around 2.5 hours on my own. Very smooth working, glides easy. Pretty heavy duty, I loaded 3 ,45 lbs plates on each side and no issues with the weight. All in all a great quality machine. Definately worth the money at $899. Everything came packaged nicely with no scratches. The bolts, screws and pieces were all labeled step by step with no guess work. Great machine.
