Life Fitness G4 Home Gym

I recently purchased the Life Fitness G4 Home Gym and couldn’t be happier with my decision. I opted for the additional 50 lb weight stack (bringing the total to 210 lbs) and added the Leg Press attachment. The machine is incredibly well built—solid, smooth, and just as sturdy as anything you’d find in a commercial gym.

I bought mine through a local authorized Life Fitness retailer and highly recommend going that route. Delivery and installation were completed within two weeks—far faster than the 5–7 week lead time quoted on the Life Fitness website.

The G4 has only been in my home for a week, but I already love it. It’s so convenient to step into my garage throughout the day and get a quick lift session in. Unlike cardio, I never have to talk myself into using it—it’s actually something I look forward to.

I’ve installed the machine on 1” thick rubber flooring and paired it with my Concept2 RowERG for cardio. I plan to round out my home gym with an adjustable bench and a set of dumbbells, but the G4 alone covers all the major muscle groups. It’s an amazing anchor for any home workout space.

Highly recommend to anyone looking to build strength at home without compromising on quality.

Best investment I have made so far in my home gym. Quality of construction and materials is fantastic. I am 6-4 and 260 lbs. Gym fits me well. I would recommend the additional 50 lb weights to take the machine up to 210 lbs total. I only wish they would add more attachments with the purchase vs having to buy them seperate. A curl bar and rope attachment would have been great if they were included with the original purchase.

I've been using this machine many times a week for well over 10 years. It does everything I wanted to do. Very versatile, smooth and quiet. The only maintenance I do is occasionally put a little lubricant on the guide rails for the weight. One point I had to exchange the foam cushions where my knees touch the machine. That was very easy and cheap to do. Otherwise, it is going strong over 10 years old and I don't go easy on it.

Love it. Exactly what I wanted to add to my Life Fitness folding treadmill. Since I don't want to go to gym during COVID, this solved the "what I was missing" for getting back in shape. While I wish there was a more formal user guide or workout video, the magnetic workout cards are very cool, and I actually put them all up on the wall onto a metal whieboard, so I can see all at a glance. Love it.
