Celsius GS1 Home Gym

Had the GS 1 for just over a year and now all the cables are fraying and getting snagged on the pulleys. Tried to get replacement parts and no one in store can help and Customer Care don’t respond other than telling you to go in store. Don’t waste your money

This machine is not great, most of the exercises feel awkward and uncomfortable. The cable length is too short, not allowing me to get a full range of motion for exercises like the lat pull downs, chest press and peck deck which was the main reason I got this machine. It also feels awkward to sit in and use any handles or the leg extension, it feels like the positioning is pretty bad. I think over all you would need to be a shorter person to use this optimally. I would return it if it wasn’t so hard to physically dismantle and return. Not happy with it at all. I would have spend the extra on the gs2 but postage costs extra 150 with no option to pick up from store

Been looking at this gym for a few weeks & purchased it on sale. It’s perfect for my needs, I’m only 5’, 49kg so don’t need anything any bigger. The 50kg stack is plenty, use up to 30kg atm. I bought extra attachments, tri rope, stirrup handle, v shape row & a wide D bar. So can do a huge variety of upper body. From rebel I bought this gym, the half rack & FID bench all member prices, excellent value for money & my husband put it all together in 3 hours no problems. (Also purchased a CrossFit package from Verve + already had a few pairs of hex dumbbells so my gym is complete) Absolutely love my gym room now. Only thing I would fault is where I sit on the gym that bar is slightly bent to the side not completely straight as it should be.

Some of the welds have rust and the cables are rubbing on the cable supports and are snowing shaved little particles of plastic all over the ground - I really didn't pay $599.00 so that I can breath in micro plastics while doing a workout, and I definitely didn't pay $599.00 to possibly have a gym snap and collapse on my head while doing weights, if I had the option to rate 0 stars I would, I expected better quality from Rebel Sports

I used to own one of these once before, not this brand and sold it a few years ago and decided to get a new one. Great that this one has a couple of extras to the old one I had. I had no choice but to get delivery as I couldn't lift it but then found out for an extra 30 bucks they could flick it to another company to do both delivery and installation so I was like hell yeah! I built my last one and it was a terrible experience. The guy that delivered and installed it came in like a hurricane - and had it built in less than an hour because he new exactly what he was doing. AND he cleaned up all the rubbish. If you are doing yourself - you are reading instructions - figuring out nuts and bolts and it can go on for hours and I have a bad back so the installation was a great service. In face the buying experience was made better because it was delivered and built in an hour. It is a great beginner level gym. So far I have had no issues and I have used it for a couple of weeks. If you are already quite fit you might want the next one up as this weight system only goes to 50kg. For me I have struggled with exercise with a chronic back and this has been great.

I found, like another buyer, that one of the cables was an inch short and I had to use an additional carabiner to get it setup. Feels a little unsteady and not quite as fluid as i'd like. took 5.5 hours to setup following vague and at times Engrish instructions. Bull horns only take an additional 10kg, bust doesn't say if that is per side or in total. If I could do it again, I'd pay extra for a better unit.

Now that I have it set up and tweaked, it's been a good buy - especially during lockdown, or to have some heavier weights exercises at home without needing a spotter. I had some trouble initially - although the instructions look daunting, assembling the machine isn't too bad. They recommend two people assemble it - I managed to do most of it myself, but some of the final steps are easier with a helping hand. They also recommend two spanners for assembly, but if you have a spanner and a ratchet set it'll make assembly a lot easier. The first night I used the machine the floating bolt holding the weights dropped, which absolutely demolished the rubber spacer on the weight stack - make sure it's secure, and *check it every time you change the weight* to make sure it's still taught. The machine still works fine without it, but the peg can be a bit of a squeeze because it doesn't quite line up. Some of the instructions could be more detailed, too - you're told to use the wire guides with the pulleys but it was trial and error until I understood how and why they were used. And there's a guide for the wire that leads to the bicep burl bar that I had no idea what was for, but when I had assembled the machine was facing the wrong way for the room setup (it was also tough to put in). It doesn't come with any of the tools for assembly so before you order, make sure you have: - A rubber mallet - Two spanners, or a spanner and a ratchet set - A free afternoon If you can spare the cash, the GS-2 would be a better machine but this works fine as a basic unsupervised weights machine
