The standout feature of the M3 is the independent press arm, which prevents your dominant side from taking over during chest and shoulder presses. The movement is exceptionally smooth thanks to sealed ball bearing pulleys. The isolated abdominal crunch station and dedicated seated leg curl/extension unit add targeted muscle-building capability often missing from functional trainers.
Build Quality & Longevity
Built on a heavy-duty 11-gauge tubular steel frame with electrostatic powder coating, the M3 is designed to last a lifetime. The cables are 2000lb tensile strength aircraft quality, and the upholstery uses high-grade naugahyde. The 96kg weight stack provides ample resistance for most intermediate-to-advanced users.
Space & Installation
The M3 requires a designated corner or wall space. While reasonably compact for a multi-gym, you need to allow clearance for the leg extension and press arm movement. It stands around 210cm tall, so check ceiling heights. Delivery is heavy, and professional installation is highly recommended due to the complex cable routing.

Price & Value
The M3 commands a premium price but delivers a commercial feel. It bridges the gap between basic home gyms and health club equipment. The inclusion of the 96kg stack as standard (often an upgrade on other models) adds to its value proposition.
