SAFER •  Many free weight exercises require a spotter. •  Weider home gyms offer a unique resistance system that eliminates the spotter from your workout. •  Free weights create dangerous momentum that can lead to injury. •  With the Max's compound resistance bars, you're always in control of the weight. MORE CONVENIENT •  Free weights require plates, bars, collars and other accessories. •  Weider home gyms feature Quick-change Resistance™ so you can change weight in seconds. BETTER VALUE •  Weider home gyms feature a full 240-lbs. of resistance that can be upgraded to 340-lbs. •  By the time your purchase multiple racks, benches and 340 lbs. of free weights, you would pay nearly $2500.00
