The Body-Solid G5B is a Perfect Pec single-stack home gym — not to be confused with Body-Solid's separate Bi-Angular line (the G6B and G2B/G10B series), which uses a different pressing arm design entirely. If you're researching the G5B specifically, this review covers its real specs, pricing, and how its Perfect Pec pressing station compares to what you'd get from the Bi-Angular G6B, so you buy the machine that actually matches what you're picturing.
This is a full breakdown of the G5B multi-station gym: what's included, what it costs, and who it's built for.
Body-Solid G5B: The Basics
Price: $3,955 | Weight Stack: 210 lb. (260 lb. upgrade available) | Footprint: 83"L x 46"W x 84"H | Product Weight: 504 lbs.
The G5B Multi-Station Gym centers on Body-Solid's Perfect Pec pressing station, paired with a 210 lb. weight stack that can be upgraded to 260 lb. for lifters who outgrow the standard stack. It runs on 2,200 lb. tension-rated aircraft cables and carries Body-Solid's Commercial/Lifetime Warranty, which is a meaningful data point if you're comparing home gyms — it's the same warranty tier Body-Solid puts behind its commercial-use equipment, not a scaled-down residential version.
At 83"L x 46"W x 84"H, the G5B is sized for a garage or home gym room rather than a full commercial floor, but the Total Body exercise focus and 504 lb. product weight tell you it's built with the same mainframe philosophy as Body-Solid's larger single-stack gyms.

G5B vs G6B: Perfect Pec vs Bi-Angular — Know the Difference Before You Buy
G5B: $3,955 | Perfect Pec station | 83"L x 46"W x 84"H, 504 lbs. — G6B: $3,855 | Bi-Angular press arm | 84"L x 58"W x 83"H, 547 lbs.
This is the comparison that trips up a lot of buyers researching Body-Solid single-stack gyms. The G5B uses Body-Solid's Perfect Pec pressing design, while the G6B is part of the separate Bi-Angular line, which uses a dual-pivot press arm designed to track a more natural arc through the chest press movement. Both share a 210 lb. weight stack (260 lb. upgrade available on each) and Body-Solid's Commercial/Lifetime Warranty, but they are genuinely different pressing systems in different footprints — the G6B is slightly wider (58" vs 46") to accommodate the Bi-Angular arm's range of motion. If you specifically want the Bi-Angular chest press feel, look at the G6B; if you're set on the Perfect Pec layout in a tighter footprint, the G5B is the correct choice.
G5B vs G5S: What's the Real Difference?
Body-Solid also sells the G5S as a companion single-stack gym in the same Perfect Pec family. The G5B reviewed here is the standard-footprint version at 83"L x 46"W x 84"H with a 210 lb. stack; if you're comparing the two, footprint and stack configuration are the main variables to check side-by-side on each product page before deciding, since a few inches of clearance can matter in a garage gym.
Who Is the G5B Best For?
The G5B suits home gym owners who want a genuine multi-station machine — chest press, pulldown, low row, and more — built around the Perfect Pec pressing arm, backed by a commercial-grade warranty, without stepping up to the wider Bi-Angular G6B footprint.
The bottom line: If your research led you here searching for a "Bi-Angular" G5B, you were likely thinking of the G6B — the G5B is Body-Solid's Perfect Pec single-stack gym, and a strong choice on its own merits if that's the pressing station you actually want.
