fitness_centerTraining Experience

The resistance is adjusted via a simple slide mechanism that changes the leverage on your body weight. The movement is incredibly smooth and completely silent—no clanking weights. It offers fixed pressing, pec flys, leg extension/curl, and high/low pulley work.

Build Quality & Longevity

Despite the lack of weights, the frame is solid 11-gauge steel matching other Inspire gyms. The mechanism is simple and robust, meaning very little can go wrong mechanically. It comes with a strong warranty typical of the brand.

Space & Installation

Because it lacks a weight stack, the BL1 is significantly lighter than other gyms, making it easier to install upstairs. It has a small footprint and can sit neatly in a bedroom corner. Installation is easier than typical multi-gyms due to fewer moving parts.
