Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The MARCY PM4400 Leverage Gym is a bench with two plate-loaded lever arms rather than a barbell in a rack, listed at £699.00 and placed seventh in this guide. It carries a 4.0 average from 115 ratings and a 2-year warranty. Its own listing gives three different resistance figures — 228kg in the product title, 226kg on the front arm and 181kg on the rear arm — and two different heights for the same machine, 189cm in one line and 183cm in another.
Everything on this page comes from the Amazon product listing for the PM4400. We have not tested this machine and we have not measured it. The numbers quoted here are the numbers the listing publishes, and where two of them disagree we say so rather than pick one.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“You get what you pay for and being expensive this is a quality piece of kit. Everything goes together well and it's very sturdy, can imagine it will last a lifetime. Only used a few times so far but it all works well, you need to add extra weight to what you would do with free weights so you may need a few more plates then you think.”
Verified purchase“Really good piece of kit for training on your own ..squats and benchpress are safe to do and it actually makes me lift more ...I know its better for the core to do free weights but this system allows you to lift safely and concentrate on the muscles you are trying to improve”
