Who should buy which

Pick the Altas Strength Multi-functional Trainer AL-3130 if

Buyers with a garage or basement that fits an 84 by 60 inch footprint and an 87 inch tall frame, who want two weight stack cable columns with a ratio switch, and who can move crated freight from the curb indoors and assemble a 1,696 lb machine without a published install service.

Skip if

You want the machine carried indoors or built for you, since delivery is curbside only and no assembly service is published; you want a written list of included attachments before paying $6,999.00; or you may change your mind after delivery, since the product page allows 7 days and asks for products to be unassembled on return.

Pick the Primal Strength Multi Rack System MRX 9.0 if

A home or studio buyer replacing several machines with one frame, who has the ceiling height and floor for a 230cm-tall rack and can accept freight delivery.

Skip if

You need the required ceiling height published before ordering, you are in Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico, or you want a rack whose warranty and return terms read the same on every page of the store.
