Rank #3 in Best Cable Machine 2026: 10 Ranked by Stack, Price and Evidence
GYM MASTER Lat Pulldown Machine with Ab Crunch
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The GYM MASTER GM-LAT-002 is a floor-standing lat pulldown and cable pulley station at £199.99, third in this guide. It is the cheapest machine here, and it is also the only one that ships no weight stack at all. That changes what its headline number means: the 130 kg in the listing is what you hang on the loading pin — the bullet states 65 kg per side — not a stack that arrives in the box. The machine itself weighs 33.9 kg.
Elsewhere in this guide, £379.99 listings quote a 180 kg stack. This one quotes 130 kg for £199.99 and expects you to own the plates. The listing also measures itself two ways: the bullets describe a "compact" 60.5 cm wide by 141 cm deep footprint, while the dimensions field gives 60.5 cm wide, 141 cm deep and 204 cm high. A strap type field reading "Elastic resistance straps" sits on a machine whose own bullets describe a cable pulley with a lat bar and a row bar.
Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this machine, not from any test we carried out.

Very suitable for home gym.It has all the parts neatly packaged and included.Again i have to stress on the fact that the seller offered excellent customer service.I am very happy with the purchase.I recommend putting an anti slip rubber mat underneath the machine.If you have extra money to spend maybe consider a machine that has a guiding rods (cylinder) instead of rectangular post as it would be a smoother machine”

Questions people ask
Does the GYM MASTER GM-LAT-002 include a weight stack?
No. The listing quotes a combined load capacity of 130 kg, with each side taking up to 65 kg, but that is weight you load onto the pin rather than a stack supplied with the machine. The unit itself weighs 33.9 kg.
What plates fit the GYM MASTER lat pulldown?
The listing says the Olympic weight converter accepts both 1-inch and 2-inch plates on the same loading pin, so it works with a range of weight sets.
How much floor space does it need?
The bullets give a footprint of 60.5 cm wide by 141 cm deep, and the dimensions field adds a height of 204 cm. It is fully floor standing, so it does not need wall mounting.
What is the maximum user weight?
150 kg, according to the Maximum Weight Recommendation field. That figure is separate from the 130 kg tension figure, which refers to the load on the pulley.
Which exercises does the GYM MASTER GM-LAT-002 cover?
The listing names lat pulldowns, seated rows, bicep curls, tricep press exercises and weighted ab crunches, and includes a lat pulldown bar, seated row bar, padded seat, thigh restraint and an ab crunch vest.
What do buyers say about assembling it?
Reviews describe it as easy to assemble with good instructions and packaging; one buyer reports using it for two weeks so far.
