I purchased the FT2 around two months ago. My concern was to install this 800-lb unit on a second floor, I posted my questions on this page, and I want to thank the Amazon community for their feedback. You should get 11 boxes, but I only received 10 (the leg extension kit was missing). Amazon asked me not to open the other boxes and wait until they send me another set. I contacted Inspire and they sent me the missing box in a day or two, really great!I was impressed by the parts quality and the clear instructions. All parts arrived in perfect condition. Putting together the FT2 is a two-day project assuming you do not make mistakes in the process or parts are missing. In my case, one stack raiser was missing, but again Inspire sent me the piece which arrived in a couple of days. You may need an extra hand when installing the upper brackets.The unit was installed in a small room upstairs that sits over a load bearing beam. My unit is on a shag rug, over 3 panels of 3/4 inch plywood (in a U-shape) to distribute the weight across multiple joists. I will update this feedback if I see any structural damage over time, I hope not, it shouldn’t.The equipment is commercial quality. The pulleys run smoothly, the bench is very solid and comfortable. The top two and the back four pulleys provide several options to work individual muscles. The leg extension works great.The Smith machine is a fantastic addition. However, because it starts from a negative position, I had to get used to it. It is now part of my basic routine for squats, calves, bench press, and incline press. With the weight multiplier, I do not think I will ever need to buy the extra weight stacks.It is amazing the number of exercises you can do in a very small footprint.Working out at home is priceless. No commute, no stinky bathrooms or loud music. The FT2 plus a couple of adjustable dumbbells and a good cardio machine, should be enough to be in decent shape without having to go to a gym ever again.
