Overall this is a very nice piece of exercise equipment. The motions are smooth the components are quality. The manual does include examples of exercises that are capable on the machine and there is a video included that does show some various techniques but not on the G6B which is a bit disappointing. Most exercises you can figure out how to reference them to this machine but in my opinion this should be specific to the equipment for the $2K price. The advertisements state "over 50 exercises" though these are not shown anywhere and even calling Body Solid directly they could not identify what these were or how to perform them. Really, not that big of a deal but still not complete in my opinion. The equipment is delivered in 6 boxes in a semi trailer. Some of the boxes are 80 pounds or so and are fairly big so help is required to move them into the final room (no, the driver won't help). Assembly is time consuming but the directions for the most part do a good job of showing views of the before and after for the "step". It took my wife and I around 7 hours total beginning to end. The manual also has a few errors. Check in the back of the manual, there are a couple of pages with no page numbers that identify some updates with a few pictures. Look here first to save yourself some time and irritation looking for parts that no longer are being used. Some other errors: Page 16, step "A", it states to install the "convex end caps..." then to "tighten allen screws...". Once you insert the end caps you can no longer access the screws so tighten the screws, then install the end caps or you'll have to pry the caps out to get to the screws again. Page 21 does not correctly show the nut and washers required in the "reverse side drawing". There is a clarification drawing in the phantom back pages. Page 22, step "D", the "plastic roller end caps" do not exist. They replaced them with a metal cap and large plastic disks, pics on the extra pages in back. Page 34, step "B", the washers are item #78, not #74 as stated. Also, the single stirrup handle is really a requirement but not included. I found this on Amazon for about $15 and got it the next day but if it is shown in advertisements, in the manual and is referenced in exercises it really should be included. Also, the "spring clips" that attach the different bars have razor sharp edges so be careful. I sanded them down a bit after nicking my fingers a few times before figuring out what was causing this. I bought about a half a dozen more clips from the orange box store with another 6" of chain to make our routines a bit easier (don't have to change chains/bars quite as often for different exercises and the extra clips make for easier connect/disconnects). The warranty is lifetime with no exceptions, even on normal wear parts so keep your receipt. Lastly, we purchased from LDA Fitness. They followed up very well on a missing part and were incredibly attentive. If they are ever a possible vendor on a future purchase, I would pay more to use them. Their customer service is unmatched in my opinion. If you do have a missing part you'll need to contact Body Solid directly as apparently the vendor can no longer get missing parts. Overall, we're very pleased. So far (about 1 month) we've created routines of about a dozen exercises and are working out a good flow. Routine takes around 45 minutes. Highly recommended, quality product.===Update=== Two months later and still liking the G6B. Had one issue start popping up and that was the weight pull from any position started to "chatter" or stick a bit throughout the motion. Very annoying and made it difficult to do a full stroke. After looking throught the manual it mentioned lubricating the weight rods so I used silicone spray and wiped them down. Problem solved, very smooth again... Other than that no problems yet...
