AmStaff Fitness TB59B Presse à jambes commerciale / Machine à squats

The machine is excellent quality and fully meets my expectations. It’s solid, durable, and built with a top‑tier bearing rail system. The frame is sturdy, the color finish is uniform, the padding is high quality, and the safety bar feels extremely reliable. Switching between hack squat and leg press is smooth and easy.

The machine arrives in a large wooden crate roughly 6 ft by 6 ft, so you need enough space to receive it. I highly recommend having at least two strong helpers (so three people total) for assembly because the parts are very heavy. Fortunately, the machine comes with four main components already pre‑assembled, and the remaining steps are straightforward. Delivery went very well, and the machine arrived with almost no marks or damage.

The customer service was outstanding. Fitness Avenue responds very quickly to emails, provides excellent support, and even sent me an additional assembly document. Just make sure you have your own tools on hand for tightening everything.

Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it.

Pros:

1: built quality is A+ with the bearing system ; although more noisy than roller system.

2: 2 in 1 hack squat and leg press is very quick to switch angle with the 5 back seat inclination positions making it overall easy for all users

3 : great depth range of motion for users below 6’5’’

Cons:

1: no instructions giving to assemble the machine

2: requires 2 persons to assemble with the leg plate being over 150 pounds and very bulky

3: cannot be use for user over 6 feet 5 inches and the top range of motion can be limited

Overall great performance for the price when on sell.

9/10 IMO

This is a serious machine and probably too much for most home gyms out there but if you have the space, the budget, and a few strong friends to help you move the pieces and assemble it, you won't regret it!

Few things I wish I had known before buying:

The "assembly instructions" are 1 page ... which is ridiculous. Perhaps a mistake on my unit but I was too excited to wait for Fitness Avenue to get back to me so I did without them. In the end it's not too difficult but I made a few mistakes sequencing some of the steps and I have to do/undo/redo/etc.

The box that contains the machine is huge (60"x74"x30") and there are only a few pieces as many parts came pre-assembled; 4 main components that are quite heavy, pads, bars, and braces.

The width of the machine including the bar put the weights is 65", not 42.5" - A big difference

If you are limited to a standard 8' ceiling, brace yourself as you won't be able to slide the top part in. You will 1 person lifting the front of the machine 6-12" to give you extra clearance while 2 people are sliding the top part in. Not easy and frankly dangerous. I would say the minimum ideal height is 95" - The top part is the heaviest part of this machine at ~150lbs.

If you are less than 5'8", you might find the positions for locking the weights either too high or too low. I wish there were more adjustments. I'm 5'8" and I can barely operate the machine. I think this was fitted for someone around 5'10".
