I said usually because this is not always true. You will see that Marcy fitness equipment puts together great quality and reasonable prices for a great user experience.
When buying fitness equipment you should consider every available option unless you have money to throw out the window. Because I suspect you don't, since I don't have such money myself, I give you a practical advice: consider Marcy home gym as the equipment to have/buy. You will find that the money you pay for this equipment is well spent and never look back, which usually happens with other similar equipment, not necessarily because poor quality equipment but because expensive ones.
I personally looked around for a while, I had a previous equipment at my office place, and wanted one for myself. I know I travel a lot and because of this I try to stay home as much as possible when I am in my home city, thus I said such a fitness equipment should come handy in order to exercise and stay home at the same time.
So, if you are in the same situation, consider my advice when purchasing fitness or home gym equipment.
