Best Body-Solid Home Gym for Your Space: Complete Buyer's Guide [2026]

How to Choose the Right Body-Solid Home Gym

If you've decided on Body-Solid for your home gym, you've already made a smart choice. The hard part now is figuring out which model is right for your space, your goals, and your budget. Body-Solid makes over a dozen different home gym configurations, and the differences between them aren't always obvious from the product pages.

This guide breaks down every Body-Solid home gym we carry at Everything Gyms, explains who each one is built for, and helps you make a confident decision without second-guessing yourself.

The Two Types of Body-Solid Home Gyms

Before diving into specific models, it helps to understand that Body-Solid makes two fundamentally different styles of home gyms:

Selectorized Home Gyms use a built-in weight stack (typically 160-210 lbs) with a pin to select your resistance. You move the pin, sit down, and start lifting. These are the most popular choice for home use because they're safe, quiet, and let you switch between exercises quickly with no plate loading.

The Fusion Series takes the selectorized concept further by adding functional training arms — adjustable cable pulleys that let you do exercises you can't do on a traditional home gym, like cable flys, rotational movements, and standing presses. If you want the most exercise variety possible from a single machine, this is where to look.

Body-Solid G5S: Best for Small Spaces

Price: $2,695 | Weight Stack: 160 lbs (upgradable to 210 lbs) | Stations: 6

The G5S is Body-Solid's most popular single-stack home gym, and for good reason. It packs six workout stations into a compact footprint that fits comfortably in a spare bedroom, basement corner, or single-car garage. You get a press station, lat pulldown, low row, leg extension, leg curl, and the Perfect Pec station for chest flys — all powered by a smooth 160 lb weight stack.

Best for: Home gym owners with limited space who want a complete upper and lower body workout. The G5S is also expandable — you can add a leg press attachment or inner/outer thigh station later if you want to grow your setup.

The bottom line: If you're buying your first home gym and don't need the most advanced features, the G5S delivers the best value in Body-Solid's lineup.

Body-Solid G6BR: Best All-Around Home Gym

Price: $3,300 | Weight Stack: 210 lbs (upgradable to 260 lbs) | Stations: 6

The G6BR is a step up from the G5S in almost every way. The headline feature is Body-Solid's patented Bi-Angular press arms, which apply resistance from two directions simultaneously instead of one. The result is 25% more muscle interaction on chest presses, incline presses, and shoulder presses compared to a standard press arm. It feels closer to pressing with free weights, but with the safety of a machine.

The G6BR also includes the Perfect Pec station with swivel arms for deep chest flys, a leg developer with an integrated CAM for consistent resistance through the full range of motion, and a no-cable-change design so you can flow between exercises without stopping to reroute cables.

Best for: Intermediate to advanced lifters who want more muscle activation than a basic home gym provides. The heavier 210 lb stack and bi-angular press system make this a serious training tool, not just a convenience machine.

The bottom line: If you can stretch your budget past the G5S, the G6BR is arguably the best single-stack home gym Body-Solid makes for the money. It was rated a Consumer Guide Best Buy for a reason.

Body-Solid G10B: Best for Heavy Lifters

Price: $3,700+ | Weight Stack: 210 lbs | Stations: Multiple + Leg Press

The G10B is Body-Solid's answer for lifters who want a multi-station gym with a built-in leg press. It includes bi-angular press arms, a lat/row station, leg developer, and a dedicated leg press and calf press attachment — all in one frame. If heavy leg training is a priority and you don't want to buy a separate leg machine, the G10B is your best option.

Best for: Lifters who prioritize lower body training and want a leg press built into their home gym rather than purchased separately.

The bottom line: The G10B is the most complete single-purchase home gym in Body-Solid's G Series lineup.

Body-Solid Fusion 500: Best Functional Training Gym

Price: $3,850 | Weight Stack: 210 lbs (upgradable to 310 lbs) | 60+ Exercises

The Fusion 500 is where Body-Solid's home gyms start to feel like a full commercial gym. In addition to the traditional selectorized stations (press, lat pulldown, leg extension, etc.), the Fusion 500 adds synchronized articulating functional training arms — adjustable cable pulleys that open up exercises like standing cable flys, rotational core work, single-arm presses, and dozens of other movements you simply can't do on a G-Series gym.

The modular design means you can add optional attachments over time: a leg press, weight-assisted dip and pull-up station, or multi-hip station. The frame is built from oversized 50mm x 100mm oval steel tubing — noticeably more robust than the G-Series machines.

Best for: Home gym owners who want the exercise variety of a cable machine and a traditional home gym combined into one system. Also excellent for personal trainers who work with clients at home.

The bottom line: If you've outgrown basic home gyms or want functional training capabilities from day one, the Fusion 500 is the sweet spot of price and versatility.

Body-Solid Fusion 600: The Best Home Gym Body-Solid Makes

Price: $3,945 | Weight Stack: 210 lbs (upgradable to 310 lbs) | 60+ Exercises

The Fusion 600 is the flagship. It takes everything the Fusion 500 offers and adds Body-Solid's Bi-Angular press arm — the same technology that makes the G6BR so effective. That means you get the functional training arms for cable work AND the multi-directional press for 25% more chest and shoulder activation.

The Fusion 600 also adds dedicated rowing arms for seated rows and mid-back work, which the Fusion 500 doesn't have. If you're building a home gym that should last 10-20 years and never leave you wanting more, this is the machine.

Best for: Serious lifters who want the absolute best home gym experience without filling an entire room with separate machines. With the optional leg press attachment, the Fusion 600 can genuinely replace a gym membership for most people.

The bottom line: It's only about $100 more than the Fusion 500, and you get the bi-angular press arms and rowing station. For most buyers, the Fusion 600 is worth the upgrade.

Body-Solid EXM3000LPS: Best for Multiple Users

Price: $5,345 | Weight Stacks: Multiple | Multi-User

If you need a gym system that can handle two or three people training at the same time — for a family home gym, a small studio, or a garage gym shared between friends — the EXM3000LPS is Body-Solid's commercial-grade multi-station system. It features multiple independent weight stacks so different users can work out simultaneously without waiting.

Best for: Families, couples who train together, small personal training studios, or garage gyms shared between multiple lifters.

The bottom line: Overkill for a single user, but unbeatable if multiple people will use the gym regularly.
