The Body-Solid F500 vs F600 Fusion Personal Trainer decision comes up constantly for buyers who want a single-stack, all-in-one commercial machine without the footprint of a full multi-gym. Both the F500B and F600B share the same 76"L x 48"W x 83"H footprint and commercial application rating, so the real question isn't which one fits your room — it's which one fits your budget and how much machine you actually need.
Body-Solid F500B Fusion Personal Trainer
Price: $4,535 | Application: Commercial | Mainframe: 50mm x 100mm 11-gauge oval steel tubing | Weight Stack: 210 lbs. | Dimensions: 76"L x 48"W x 83"H | Product Weight: 526 lbs.
The F500B Fusion Personal Trainer is built on 11-gauge oval steel tubing and runs a 210 lb. weight stack in the same footprint you'll find on the F600B. As a single-stack gym rated for commercial use, it's meant to hold up in a studio or training facility environment, not just a home basement, and Body-Solid backs it with the same commercial-grade construction standards across the Fusion line.
At 526 lbs. of product weight, the F500B is the lighter and less expensive of the two Fusion trainers, which makes it the more accessible entry point if you want the Fusion single-stack format without paying for the heavier-duty F600B build.
Best for: buyers who want a commercial-grade single-stack Fusion trainer at a lower price point than the F600B.
Body-Solid F600B Fusion Personal Trainer
Price: $5,115 | Application: Commercial | Dimensions: 76"L x 48"W x 83"H | Product Weight: 573 lbs. | Shipping Weight: 621 lbs.
The F600B Fusion Personal Trainer shares the F500B's exact footprint and commercial application, but comes in at $5,115 — a $580 premium — and carries noticeably more product weight (573 lbs. versus 526 lbs.), pointing to a heavier-duty frame and componentry. If you're outfitting a facility where the machine will see constant multi-user turnover, that added weight and price generally reflect a sturdier build meant to handle more cumulative wear over time.
Because both machines occupy the same physical space, the F600B doesn't cost you any extra floor space for the upgrade — you're paying purely for the heavier construction, not a bigger footprint.
Best for: commercial facilities or high-use studios that want the more heavy-duty build of the two Fusion trainers in the same footprint as the F500B.
Quick Comparison Chart
| Model | Price | Key Spec | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| F500B | $4,535 | 210 lb. stack, 526 lbs., 76"L x 48"W x 83"H | Lower cost entry into the Fusion line |
| F600B | $5,115 | 573 lbs. product weight, same 76"L x 48"W x 83"H footprint | Heavier-duty build for high-use facilities |
The Bottom Line
If you're deciding between the F500B and F600B, the footprint isn't a factor — both machines take up the exact same 76"L x 48"W x 83"H space. The decision comes down to budget and expected use: the F500B's 210 lb. stack and lighter 526 lb. frame cover most home-studio and light commercial needs at a lower price, while the F600B's heavier 573 lb. build is the better long-term investment if the machine will see heavy, continuous commercial use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price difference between the F500B and F600B?
The F500B is $4,535 and the F600B is $5,115, a difference of $580.
Does the F600B take up more space than the F500B?
No. Both the F500B and F600B share the same 76"L x 48"W x 83"H footprint, so the F600B's higher price and heavier 573 lb. build don't require any extra floor space.
What exercises can I do on a Body-Solid Fusion Personal Trainer?
As a total-body single-stack gym, the Fusion Personal Trainer line is built to support a full range of commercial strength-training exercises on one 210 lb.-class weight stack machine in a compact footprint.
Is the F600B worth the extra cost over the F500B?
If your facility sees heavy, continuous commercial use, the F600B's heavier 573 lb. frame is built for more cumulative wear than the F500B's 526 lb. frame. For lighter home-studio use, the F500B delivers the same footprint and commercial rating at a lower price.
