Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this machine to complement the other pieces in my home gym.I was slowly becoming aware of slight weakness in my knees, and decided this machine would strengthen my hamstrings and quadriceps -- that in turn adds strength to the knees.
It comes in a HUGE, HEAVY box, but still needs to be assembled.The parts are expertly arranged on a cardboard that is covered a clear plastic film.You'll need scissors or cutter to remove the plastic.The directions are very good.The parts fit together very well.I am a 64-year old, fairly fit woman, and I did need to use great effort to tighten the bolts.But I assembled it in a few hours.The box comes with two sizes of Allen wrenches, and a strong but narrow dual-sided wrench that I quickly replaced with my own padded-handle wrench. The paddled-handle wrench was a must in my opinion, because of the strong pressure required to tighten the bolts.The box-supplied wrench was so narrow that it seemed to cut into my hand as I applied pressure, and it frequently slid off the bolts as I turned it.I do suggest that you assemble it where you plan to use it, because it is very heavy to move.
All the pieces feel like fine quality for the home gym.You'll have to add your own weights.I chose a 10-lb weight for starters, that I bought off Ebay: Troy VTX Grip Olympic Plate from Fitnessedgeonline, and $19.99 included shipping. (This seller was fast!) 10 lbs. works fine for extensions, but I'll add 5 or 10 lbs more for curls.YOU may be able to use much more weight, especially for men, but I personally caution against overdoing the weight, since the condition of the knee is at stake!
The seat and back cushions are great quality, as are the foam pads that contact the legs.I find the adjustments for body size very easy to make.I am 5'4" and I'd say a user should not be much shorter or the leg bar won't adjust high enough.A 6' man used the machine and said the adjustments he made were very comfortable for him.The machine feels very sturdy and steady when in use.
I have had the machine for several weeks now and am very happy with the purchase.As with any new gym equipment, start out slowly for safety's sake.I hope you'll like it too.

Product Description:
Strong and well-defined upper legs are not only a goal for a better physical appearance but also for reduction of stress on the joints, better sports related performance and rehabilitation and overall improved daily movement. A great way to strengthen the entire upper leg (quads and hamstrings) as well as tighten and lift the backside is to perform leg curls and leg extensions with proper form. The EF-7615 forces that proper form and provides a better free range of motion than the same exercises performed without a specialized machine. The seat and backrest as well as the thigh hold-down are fully adjustable to fit most size individuals. These three locations as well as the press arm are generously padded (4.33 vinyl wrapped roll pads) for comfort and the seat is tapered and rolled to provide a soft brace for the rear of the leg during each repetition.
