The 5 best home gym machines focus on every muscle you want to build or tone and a few you weren't even aware existed. With the variety of available workouts, you could see results through proper dieting and 30 minutes of exercise per day in less than a month. The best home gym machines aren't always cheap, but with proper use, your money will be better spent than it would be on a health club membership.

  1. Yukon Fitness Condor. Work your upper body with Yukon's Fitness Condor through bench press and lat pull down workouts. The equipment incorporates easy glide technology to tone and shape your entire body from head to toe. With this great device, you will see results in less than 30 days. You will also experience a lot of pain early on, but don't worry. It wouldn't be one of the best home gym machines if you didn't.
  2. Body Solid 1500S Home Gym. Common knowledge says to use free weights if you want to get bigger and build muscle. However, common knowledge never took a chance on the 1500S Home Gym from Body Solid. The 1500S gives you everything you need to tone up and build the body you've always dreamed of having through a weight stack up to 160 pounds, firm seat pad support, and a pulley system. With an accompanying lat bar that will tone up that midsection, you'll be ready with your beach bod as long as you develop a routine around this choice among the best home gym machines.
  3. Quantum Power Crunch 600 Workout Bench. Are abs the area you've always wanted to focus on? You think a standard ab bench will do the trick? Think again. Quantum Power's machine uses two pivots to work every muscle in your abdominal region at the same time. Of the best home gym machines on the market, only one will get your stomach ripped like the guys on weightlifting magazine covers.
  4. Powertec Workbench Leverage Home Gym WB-LS. While the Crunch 600 workout bench focuses solely on the abs, Powertec's contribution to the best home gym machines delivers a workout experience that will target every major muscle group. With over twenty workout routines, you get in the WB-LS a rowing device, a leg machine, a bench press, and so much more. All you have to do is adjust the seat and the lever bar. This machine is the closest, and safest, you will get to free weight training.  
  5. Bodycraft Family XPress. Bodycraft blows away the competition with a diverse system that allows multiple users at once. Featuring over 70 workouts and two weight stacks, Family XPress promises a family experience and delivers. Of the best home gym machines, this one is a little more expensive, but it is a full-service home gym that incorporates fitness plans for every major muscle group imaginable.
