True 550HGP Home Gym with pec fly

Date Published: 7/23/08

The True 550HGP is ideal for the young couple who wants to work out at home. It features two separate weight stacks, allowing two people to work out at the same time.

The 550HGP fits easily into the corner of any room with its space-saving design. The gym is packed with innovative features, like isolateral converging press arm technology, a biomechanically-correct pec fly station, seated leg extension/leg curl station, and optional folding leg press.

With two 210lb. cast iron weight stacks, the 550HGP delivers the total workout the serious exerciser wants. The 550HGP has unique racetrack shaped steel tubing, rich titanium powder coat paint treatment, and mar-resistant clear coat finish combined to sustain the aesthetic style for years to come.

Full-length steel shrouds conceal each weight stack of the True 550HGP and provide an added measure of security. All True home gyms are made of the most durable, highest-quality components to stand up to a lifetime of use.
