I bought this sturdy Hercules 1001 over a year ago, and since then, my husband and I have been hitting our workouts regularly. This machine is a beast! It’s strong and versatile, with attachments like bench squat, pull-downs, rows, leg press, chest press/jammer arms, you name it. We had a little hiccup with one of the boxes during shipping, but it wasn’t the seller’s fault. They quickly sorted us out with a replacement. Sure, you might find cheaper options out there, and true—you get what you pay for. I give props to the customer service though. They were on top of things from delivery to helping us with setup questions. Oh, and by the way, they included super detailed setup instructions, so we had the whole thing up and running in less than three hours. We’ve been using this gym machine for the past eleven months, and let me tell you, we couldn’t be happier with the results. Seriously, I highly recommend not just the equipment but also the sellers. The equipment and service deserve 5 stars.

I purchased the MIM Hercules EX a couple of weeks ago. The product arrived as stated in other reviews with about 19 boxes. Most of the boxes are numbered, and if you follow the sequence, the build is somewhat easy. My son and I put the entire unit together in under seven hours and as you can see in the photos, it really is a beautiful piece of machinery. I did have some questions and I called the number provided and I have to say that Ali was very responsive. He answered my questions with precision and also returned a few marked up photos for more clarity. I have now used the machine everyday for over a week and I can tell you I am very pleased with its operation. I definitely give this five stars and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in purchasing a really high-end home gym!

This fits perfectly in my gym room, very compact and comes with everything you could possibly need. Lots of add ons so keep that in mind as you will need some space to store all the extra pieces. I’m very pleased with the ease of setup although you will most likely need 2 people to put it together or at least one person to hold the pieces at times. Instructions aren’t very clear at times but not impossible to figure out. Shipping was a mess with FedEx because there is 20 or so boxes that are mostly very heavy but that was all on FedEx. The seller was very helpful and responds to every question and usually very quickly. The machine itself is very smooth either using the cables or the smith barbell I was pleased with how well everything works. You will need some free weights to use the barbells but the ex comes with 4001bs of stackable weights which is nice. Overall I’m happy with this purchase and would recommend to all who are looking to take their workout routine to the next level.

As a personal trainer, I need reliable, versatile, and durable equipment for my clients—and the Hercules EX Smith Machine delivers in every way. Its heavy-duty construction and smooth bar movement provide the perfect balance of safety and performance, giving me confidence with every session. It’s incredibly versatile, allowing me to train clients on a variety of exercises, from squats to presses, without needing multiple machines. The entire process, from purchase to setup, was seamless. The manufacturer was extremely responsive to all my inquiries and went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. Their recommendation for an assembly service was spot on—the technicians were friendly, professional, and hardworking, delivering excellent results. This machine has been a game-changer for my personal training business. If you’re looking for high-quality, versatile equipment backed by exceptional customer service, this is the one. Highly recommended for both professional and home gym setups!

So after viewing many machines, I decided to go with this one, the Hercules 1001… upon order, an email was sent from an actual person, not a bot, which I liked. They gave me a projected shipping date. A couple of days go by, it’s been picked up by FedEx earlier, and got here 2 days early. I am disabled and just recovered from surgery, and it took me 6 hours to set up by myself. The instructions and part list were top-notch. I only had one question and emailed MiM, and they responded within an hour. Since setup, I’ve used this machine and love it. It’s the perfect home gym. It literally has everything!! This, with my treadmill, and I’ll be back in shape in no time!!!

Purchased the Hercules Pro, and everything about this purchase/product is great! Customer service responded quickly and answered all questions before ordering. Shipping was fast and arrived quicker than expected. Only issue, and wasn’t really an issue, the directions were confusing at first, but once we got used to reading the diagrams, it was actually fairly easy. Had it put together and functioning in roughly 1/2 day. Quite sturdy and easy to use. Just cancelled our gym membership—we love it!

Recently purchased this, and it was missing some parts, but customer service sent them out right away. A solid machine but requires a large amount of space. Also, you will need your own weight plates. Probably not for the serious bodybuilder but works fine for me just trying to stay in shape.

Hercules is the perfect name for this product. It was made for the Gods of Iron. I researched similar machines for a year as I saved money for my purchase, And I am very satisfied with the quality and customer service.

This thing is AMAZING, and I’m so happy with my purchase! This unit is professional lifter level gym equipment. I was missing 2 screws when it arrived, but Ali came thru and got them to me in a couple of days. Some of the instructions were a bit hard to understand (just pictures) but I was able to assemble it by myself over a 2 day period. If you’re on the fence, don’t be! I HIGHLY recommend the Hercules EX home gym.

Thank you . This company has the best customer service you will ever find. They make you feel like you are the only thing that matter. I will continue to purchase from them. The product is amazing and you will be satisfied .

This machine is a perfect do-it-all space saver. I played division 1 collegiate baseball and was a personal trainer for a few years, so I have been around a lot of equipment. This equipment has quality construction and material, and the process of putting it together was as easy as they could make it. Can’t beat what you get for the price.

We purchased the equipment, and my husband and I assembled it ourselves. The boxes come marked up (there were 19 boxes), and the seller was of superb assistance, providing us with all the information, details, and support necessary. We have been using it for the past 3 months and couldn’t be happier! I highly recommend not only the equipment but the sellers themselves. I am an avid Amazon user, and this is by far the best seller experience I had. Really great!

This machine does it all. You can work out every part of your body at home with this great machine. The seller was AWESOME because I had lost my instructions and he IMMEDIATELY sent me a link so I could download a new copy. Definitely a 10/10 seller here!! Highly recommendeci buying from THIS SELLER and getting THIS MACHINE. You won’t regret it!!
