Back & Pulley Machines

Back machines let members train pulling movements with control and with loads they could not manage on bodyweight exercises. A good gym floor offers at least one vertical pull (a pulldown or high row) and one horizontal pull (a seated or chest-supported row).

Plate-loaded rows and pulldowns tend to have a more natural arc and fewer moving parts. Selectorized pulldowns and rows use cables and pulleys, so the condition of those parts matters most on a used machine. We check cable sheathing, pulley bearings and the cable terminations on every pulley machine we assess.

Buying guide

Before you buy back & pulley machines

  1. On any cable machine, ask for close-up photos of the cable along its full length and at both ends.
  2. Chest-supported rows protect the lower back and are popular with members of all levels.
  3. A pulldown needs ceiling clearance; check the machine height against your ceiling and any fans or lights.
  4. Legacy machines such as pullovers are rarer; tell us early if you want one, so we can look for it.
