Default IronMaster IM2000 setup

Just picked up an Ironmaster IM2000 self spotting system for our xmas gift.

Ironmasters has always put out great products I have their adjustable dumbbless and have dropped them countless times with zero issues, their super bench is awesome and all the attachments are well built and work just as expected.

I ordered the IM2000 late Thursday night, it was shipped Friday and showed up Wednesday. Talk about fast processing and shipping!

The IM2000 came in 3 boxes, I also picked up a few attachments so in total I had 6 boxes for a total of 364lbs

Ironmaster does one hell of a job on packing, everything was so well packed. It took me twice as long to unpack everything then I had expected since it was so well packed! zero scratches on anything, everything came out perfectly!

Putting it together was rather easy, however I did have one misstep of installing the guide rails upside down so I had to back track a bit to fix that. Other then that it was pretty straight forward. You can see in the pictures where I have it highlighted. Note the top should have less holes then the bottom. Ooppps.

Over all the IM2000 system is very compact! The bar is 73" wide and the frame is 48"x48" and 84.5" tall

Operation of the unit is very smooth and super quiet!

Only things I dislike so far is, the bottom has a swing out attachment for the lower pully system and pads for your feet for using the upper or lower pully system. It can slightly tricky to get the holes to line up for the pen to go in to lock it into place. Not bad, but you do have to mess with it.

The top pully line doesn't seem to have a place to go so I just kind of hang it over the back side of the frame.

Over all I'm highly impressed with it, it is everything I would expect from Ironmaster

Looks like a nice setup.

If I had more room/my own place, I'd look into getting some weight training equipment. Seems the reviews on that product rate it rather well.

Kudos!
