Body-Solid G9B Multi-Station Gym: Comprehensive Review & Buyer’s Guide

Introduction

The modern home gym has evolved to deliver commercial-grade performance without ever stepping into a fitness club. The Body-Solid G9B stands at the top of that evolution — a dual-stack, multi-station home gym built for families, athletes, and training partners who want to train together efficiently.
In this guide, we’ll break down its features, build quality, exercise versatility, and pricing so you can decide if this powerhouse deserves a place in your home or garage gym.


What is the Body-Solid G9B?

The G9B is a multi-station strength-training system equipped with two independent 210-lb weight stacks, allowing two users to train simultaneously. Its modular design integrates pressing, pulling, and leg stations into a compact footprint. Adjustable seats and ergonomic movement paths make it suitable for users of all sizes — offering a club-quality experience at home.


Who is it for?

The G9B is ideal for:

  • Multi-user households or training partners who want to work out together.

  • Personal training studios that need a durable, space-efficient strength station.

  • Athletes or fitness enthusiasts who want variety without cluttering their space.

With an optional Vertical Knee Raise/Dip Station, up to three users can train at once — perfect for family fitness or semi-private studio environments.


Key Features & Benefits

1. Multi-Grip Press Arm

Supports flat, incline, and shoulder presses as well as mid-rows. Dual handles allow narrow or wide grips for customized chest, shoulder, and back training.

2. Perfect Pec™ Station

Adjustable swivel arms and customizable range of motion make this station perfect for chest flyes, rear-delt work, and ab crunches.

3. Leg Press Station

Operates on its own weight stack with a 2:1 resistance ratio — giving you up to 420 lbs of effective resistance. Features a pivoting, non-slip footplate for smooth movement and safety during heavy leg workouts.

4. Optional VKR/Dip Station (Model GKR9)

Adds core and triceps functionality while allowing a third person to train simultaneously.
