FOR SALE - our Multi-Station - Home Gym & Fitness Center. Revised 11-04-05 - The below 'Summary' and 'Comparison to NEW
Home Gyms' is a duplicate of the current Craigslist ad. Scroll down to the SITE MAP & INDEX - for detailed info NOT provided by the Craigslist ad. You are looking at one of the BEST Exercise Machine ever built!
For those who are SERIOUSLY looking for a DO-it-All exercise machine
- you found it! Our little-used, like-new
Cal Gym APOLLO-1 is
an awesome, Multi-Station, Multi-Functional, PRO-QUALITY, FULL-Body
exercise machine! * BOTTOM LINE Summary *
This is NO fluke - this 'engineering marvel' was forged and
KISSed by the Fitness Gods, and could be the definitive 'Poster Child' for the 'KISS Principle'
(Keep It Simple Stupid). It Features PURE elegant & efficient Engineering DESIGN
- 'Real' PRO-QUALITY - ingenious FUNCTION & Capability -
and each little DETAIL that matters. These factors
determine EVERYTHING - capabilities
& endurance of a Home Gym - your USE & enjoyment - your 'fitness
results' & YOUR SAFETY! This FLAWLESS Home Gym was designed for both
'him' AND 'her', and boasts KEY features that are unmatched by most other 'Cheap or Expensive',
'Old or New' - cheaply-made or poorly designed - 'Do-all' Exercise Machines: * Features EVERY Permanent
Station Exercise Machine & Interchangable Attachment made by CAL
GYM - 10 Total - ALL listed below - which can all be switched - in
SECONDS - with the simple change of a pin,
cable or attachment. This Provides INSTANT Health Club /
FULL-GYM Functionality and FULL BODY Workout - in the SMALLEST
possible space! * The 'sum total'
combined, function & capability of ALL Station Machines & Attachments is equivalent to 14 Health Club Gym stations
- that can be demonstrated - that are FULLY listed (below). * Features over 40 Full-Body Exercises
- ALL listed further below, by Exercise Machine and/or Attachment. * Has one 'Upper' & TWO 'Lower' Pulley
& Cable Systems connected to TWO Weight Stacks - with a combined weight range from 5 to 230 lbs. * One or TWO
people can concurrently share use of this Home gym (in one case - 3 people). * When
EITHER 'attached' OR 'detached', The Multi-functional Bench Unit - with Leg Extension
/ Leg Curl Machine - allows & facilitates an ADDITIONAL
range of exercises. The 7-angle position bench seat adjusts from flat-to inclined-to upright -
UNLIKE many others! * THEN & NOW Comparison to NEW Home Gyms * We did the research BEFORE we bought this Home Gym at 'All
American Fitness' - it WAS
the TOP 'Store-Wide' Exercise Machine - compared
to ALL others. THEN, In the mid-90s, CAL GYM 'morphed' into TUFF STUFF -
and NOW - our
CAL GYM is 'living proof' that 'Shiny
Like-New' is better than 'Shiny New' - and that 'NEW'
is NOT always 'improved' or 'better': I recently compared Home Gyms on display at local Exercise Equipment Stores.
I expected MORE, and found MORE 'cheap cables' & 'cheap
PLASTIC Pulleys' everywhere - LESS Quality - LESS Features - LESS Exercise
Capability - and LOWER 'Weight Stacks'. Just like WHEN we bought our Home Gym - virtually ALL of
the 'Shiny New' Home Gyms & Exercise Machines - in ALL stores - still CAN'T match or measure
up to our 'unique' Home Gym - including TUFF
STUFF, HOIST, INFLIGHT FITNESS, PARABODY,
PRECOR, BOWFLEX - and
'others' that don't even deserve 'Honorable Mention'! * Our 'Shiny Like-New' Cal Gym
simply 'blows away' the current 'Store-Wide, TOP-of-The-Line' Full-Blown, Turbo-Charged
'Shiny-New' TUFF STUFF 'Odyssey 5' Home Gym found at 'All American
Fitness': Our ingenious Home Gym, with it's nine 'Heavy Metal' Pulleys,
does TWICE as many Exercises (40 plus vs. 18) - in LESS
Space - with a HIGHER Weight Stack (230 lbs vs. 200 lbs) - at 44 %
of the ($3355) 'Odyssey 5' - with it's 27 Aluminum Pulleys
(at $30 ea.) - a mile of cable - and four cheezy 'floating, dual-pivoting' pulleys! Unlike
OUR Home Gym, the 'Odyssey 5' has NO Flat or adjustable bench, NO Leg
Curl Machine, NO Separate Hip Developer Machine, and NO
separate Roman Chair / Vertical Abdominal Knee Raise Machine. You 'can' buy a cheaper version of 'Odyssey
5' - with 27 Cheap PLASTIC Pulleys & Cast Iron Weights for $3,085! * Our Home Gym also 'Shreds'
the current 'Store-Wide, TOP-of-The-Line' Full-Blown, PRECOR S3.25 'Strength Training
System' found at 'Busy Body': 230 lbs Weight Stack vs. 208 lbs. - 9 'Heavy Metal'
Pulleys vs. 16 'Cheap Plastic Immitation' Pulleys - yada, yada - again, at 44 % of the ($3355) price! * Our Home Gym is 'light-years'
better than ANY 'so-called' Gym Machine found at 'SportsMart'
- including 'anything' made by 'Marcy' OR BOWFLEX and the 'CopyCats' - ALL with
their CHEAP PLASTIC Pulleys / Cable Systems & CHEAP PLASTIC Power Rods, ad nauseum!
NONE of these Exercise Machines even deserve 'Honorable Mention'! DO the math -
THEN & NOW - When compared to BOTH 'Older' AND 'New' Home Gyms - our
Like-New Home Gym is one of the BEST Exercise Machine ever built! BELOW you will find the equivalent of a 'virtual
tour' |

- Their 'benches' are permanently attached - in ONLY one position - upright,
flat, or in-between! * Military Press Bar
Attachnment - Adjusts to 7 Angle Positions. < 4 > DETAIL: As
an example of design elegance - when NOT in use - the 'Press
Bar Attachnment' can be permanently (stored) attached to the Primary Stack 'Carriage Assembly' - in the 6-oclock position

LINE: The permanently attached
"Roman Chair / Vertical Abdominal Knee Raise Machine" AND "Hip Developer Machine") can
BOTH be 'used' CONCURRENTLY WITH EVERYTHING ELSE So
- Depending upon Station Machine 'usage' - THREE people could 'use' it at the SAME
time - or TWO - or even ONE person! BOTTOM LINE: This Exercise machine has the
'sum total' COMBINED capability & function of MANY 'Distinct & Unique' Stations
& Machines - that make it 'equivalent' to 14 SEPARATE Health
Club Gym Stations - that can
be FULLY demonstrated! NOTE: The Below list contains 14 'unique' configurations
of ALL the 'Permanent & Interchangable Station Attachments & Machines' AND four 'Cable Attachments'
- in combination with the 'Lower and Upper Cable Systems' of BOTH weight stacks. Each configuration
allows specific exercises. Certain configurations are redundant (*) to the 'Lower Cable'
of BOTH Weight Stacks - with different weight values - so 14 is a conservative count.
* FLAWLESS Pro-Quality DETAILS & Features
* Special DETAILS about the Pulley & Cable System: The Pulley & Cable System is the CRUTIAL heart & soul
- and DNA - and weakest Link of an exercise machine. Unlike many
others, This Home Gym features 'Heavy Metal' Brass Pulleys, 'Heavy-Duty'
Needle Bearings, THICK wear-resistant, THICK vinyl coated, THICK structural steel cable - NOT 'Cheap Metal', or 'Cheap Plastic Imitation' or 'Nylon' pulleys - and NOT
THIN cable nor THINLY covered cable that SHREDS when you use it! This crutial difference is BEYOND tie-breaking!!!
Note the shredded, cracked cables and lame excuses especially at 'SportsMart'. There are a total of nine bolted-down, 'non-floating'
large Brass pulleys on this exercise machine - two
are used exclusively ONLY for the 'Hip Developer Machine' - three others are exclusively used ONLY
for the 'Pectoral Press Machine' - two more are used ONLY for the Lower Cable System - and finally
two for the Upper Cable System! The 'Leg Extension / Leg Curl Machine' uses ONLY two
of these pulleys. We have never replaced ANY cables or pulleys, or anything else - NO need! - One
Word - FLAWLESS! The "KISS Principle"
- "Keep It Simple Stupid" - was ingeniously designed into the 'Pulley & Cable System' - It's a
design of PURE elegance & efficiency - and QUALITY that MOST 'other'
Gym machines can't match - PERIOD! Caution About Cheap
Pulleys & Cable Systems Knowing 'better' AFTER you take 'your' Gym HOME - is too late!
Sometimes, 'New-Machine gimmicks' are just "smoke & mirrors" &
MORE means LESS! It is beyond me WHY or HOW designers managed to design NEW Gyms - like the
'TUFF STUFF Odyssey 5' - with 27 Pulleys (and 4 'floating, dual-pivoting pulleys' - that all wear out,
at a replacement cost of $30 each) - that does less than half the exercises as OUR 9-Pulley Home Gym. WHY?
Anyone want to 'enlighten' me? Could it be that 'they' make MORE money replacing all those PLASTIC pulleys?
HMMMM? Here's a TIP - When you shop for a Gym, bring along a strong refrigerator magnet to 'test' the Frame,
Cables and Pulleys. The magnet will 'stick' to steel and will NOT stick to brass or aluminum or stainless steel (test against
your own plumbing fixtures - then test whatever Gym you look at.) Is that really a steel frame or steel cable?
Brass is harder than aluminum. This is a DECLARED GIMMICK
FREE ZONE: NO Cheap
Pulleys & Cables, NO floating, dual-pivoting pully systems, NO rubber bands, NO bungie cords, NO
flexing metal bands, NO Power Rods, NO dial-a-weight, NO
USE your own body weight! NO PLASTIC - NO BS! TRIVIA NOTE: If
you compare 'Brochure' & 'Wall Chart' pictures to our actual unit, you can spot some of the 'before
/ after' design & development changes: The 'Bench & Leg Extension / Leg Curl Machine' was redesigned in several areas,
including from an earlier 'flat-only' design to a 'hinged' Bench / chair design. Earlier the 'Pectoral Press Machine' chair had a much higher back - as shown in several
'Brochure' pictures.
