Body-Solid G6BR Review: Who It’s For, Key Features, and Expandable Attachments

TL;DR

The Body-Solid G6BR is a high-performing, single stack selectorized home gym built for guided, repeatable full-body strength training in a footprint that fits most garages and basements. It stands out for Bi-Angular® press arms and a dedicated Pec Deck Station, plus meaningful grow-with options like an optional leg press attachment and a 50 lb stack upgrade (210 lb to 260 lb). If you train mostly solo and want a durable “club-style” station feel without the scale of a dual stack system, the G6BR is one of Body-Solid’s most balanced long-term choices.

Overview

If you’re looking for a compact selectorized home gym that still feels substantial, the Body-Solid G6BR is one of the safest picks in the category. It’s designed for guided station training—pressing, pulling, and leg work—without cable swapping and without the footprint of a dual stack system.

The core identity of the G6BR is simple: repeatable, stable movement paths with commercial-style durability. For many home gym owners, it’s a “buy once and keep for years” type of machine—especially with Body-Solid’s lifetime warranty coverage.

Who the G6BR Is For

The G6BR makes the most sense for:

• Solo lifters who want a single stack home gym that covers full-body training
• Garage or basement setups where footprint matters
• Buyers who prefer guided station training rather than adjustable cable columns
• Anyone who wants optional expansion later (leg press, thigh station, stack upgrade)

It may be less ideal if you:

• Train with a partner at the same time and don’t want to share one stack
• Want the feel of a dual stack “private studio” layout
• Need lots of adjustable cable angles for athletic or free-motion patterns

What Makes the G6BR Different

Two features define the G6BR experience more than the spec sheet:

• Bi-Angular® press arms: pressing follows a converging path that many users find smoother and more natural than straight-path pressing.
• Pec Deck Station: dedicated fly and rear-delt style work with independent arm movement options.

The result is a home gym that feels more “club style” than typical single stack systems, especially for chest and upper-body training.

Workout Stations and What They Train

The G6BR is built around defined stations designed for full-body strength work:

• Press arms: chest press and incline-style pressing variations, plus mid-row handles
• Pec Deck Station: fly and rear-delt focused movements
• High pulley: lat pulldown and triceps pressdowns
• Mid pulley: ab crunch and mid-height cable work
• Low pulley: seated row, curls, upright rows, shrugs, and accessory cable movements
• Leg developer: leg extension and leg curl through a guided path

The standard selectorized stack is 210 lb, upgradeable to 260 lb for users who outgrow the base resistance.

Key Specs and Space Planning

• Weight stack: 210 lb (upgradeable to 260 lb)
• Dimensions (approx.): 84" L x 58" W x 84" H
• Assembled weight (approx.): 547 lbs

Practical tip: plan room to comfortably access the press station, row station, and leg developer without training tight against a wall.

Grow-With Options and Compatible Attachments

One reason the G6BR stays relevant is that it can expand beyond the base configuration.

• Premium Leg Press / Calf Press Attachment (optional)
• Inner/Outer Thigh Attachment (optional)
• Rower Attachment (optional)
• 50 lb stack upgrade (210 lb to 260 lb)

Planning note: the G6BR has space for one lower-body add-on attachment at a time (leg press or inner/outer thigh), so most owners choose based on their training priorities.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Excellent guided pressing feel with Bi-Angular® press arms
• Full-body station coverage in a single-stack footprint
• Expandable with attachments and stack upgrade
• Durable, long-term “buy once” design

Cons

• Single stack means less ideal for true simultaneous training
• Lower-body attachments share one mounting position (choose one installed at a time)
• Less cable angle variety than adjustable column systems
