DERACY Squat Machine, Adjustable Leg Workout Equipment, Deep Squat Machine for Women Men, Glutes Exercise Machine for Home Gym

I am so happy with this squat machine! For the price, it feels incredibly sturdy and well made. It was easy to assemble, doesn’t take up much space, and fits perfectly in our home. I love that it has adjustable height and resistance levels so I can customize the workout. It really helps guide proper squat form and I can definitely feel it targeting my glutes, legs, and core. The added resistance bands are a great bonus for upper body work too. It feels stable while using it and gives a solid workout without needing bulky equipment. Highly recommend if you want an affordable, space-saving option for leg and glute workouts at home!

Bit annoying to put together, but if you follow the instructions, the assembly isn't too bad. When I do squats without using this machine, I have an issue with my ankles not pivoting well which prevents me from doing deep squats. Using this, I can do squats without any pain in my ankles. I don't know if it really trains proper form since it requires your butt to hang out pretty far in more of a sitting position and I wind up getting more intensity near my knees instead of my thighs and glutes. The resistance straps are fairly light resistance, at least for me, I have used heavier in my physical therapy. Using the bands with the squat portion of the machine doesn't feel like it adds anything, but you could always use it separatly for a different set of exercises, or attach different ones if you have them. I'm tall, 6' 2", so maybe if I adjust it to a smaller height on the machine, I can get a deeper squat with it and that would allow me to hit the right muscle groups. I would say for someone that doesn't have the strength to do an unassisted squat then this could be a useful machine to help build up some of that strength. Even though I have had training with deadlifts, I find I can still get a burn from using this machine on its highest setting. Overall, it isn't a bad value for the price.

I’ve used this squat machine a couple of times and have mixed feelings. Assembly took me about 45 minutes to an hour, but it does come with all the tools you need, which was helpful. Once put together, it feels fairly sturdy, and I like the back rollers — they feel comfortable and make the movement smoother. You do have to stand on the base plate while using it to keep it stable, which isn’t a big deal but is worth noting. My main issue is the resistance. Even with all three bands attached, it doesn’t provide much of a challenge. The bands just aren’t strong enough, and the exercises feel very easy, especially if you’re used to traditional weights or stronger resistance bands. Overall, it’s decent for beginners or very light workouts, but in my opinion, it’s not worth what it’s being sold for given the limited resistance.

I recently set up the DERACY Squat Machine, and overall it’s a solid piece of home gym equipment that delivers exactly what I hoped for—controlled, assisted squats with good build quality and thoughtful design. The machine arrives with multiple pieces and requires complete assembly, but everything you need is included: all hardware, the resistance bands, and even three assembly tools. The instructions were clear, well-illustrated, and accurate—I had no confusion at any step. I was genuinely impressed by the three included tools (Allen wrenches/hex keys and a small wrench). They’re not just cheap throw-ins; they’re surprisingly high quality, better than most manufacturer-provided tools I’ve ever seen. I didn’t have to dig through my own toolbox once, which is rare and appreciated. The overall quality of the machine matched the impression left by those tools—it feels sturdy and well-made. The frame is solid steel, the welds look clean, and the padding on the supports are firm, but comfortable. According to the manufacturer, it supports up to 330 pounds, and having used it, I have no reason to doubt that rating. What really sets this apart is the adjustable tension system. It uses included resistance springs that attach securely via a locking pin to the base, allowing you to dial in the exact level of assistance or added resistance. It also includes resistance bands which connect via loops on the base. This loops provide an unexpected versatility—you can use the provided bands or swap in your own for different strengths, making it adaptable for different body weights, fitness levels, or progression over time. I particularly like it for form control and safety. The guided path helps you maintain proper squat mechanics and prevents going too deep, which reduces strain on the knees and lower back. My wife has knee problems, and the adjustable assist lets her perform squats safely—getting the benefits of the movement without overloading her joints. Even for me, the controlled motion makes the exercise more effective and less risky than free-standing bodyweight or barbell squats. You can easily use hand weights for added workout effort. And let me tell you y'all… you will be breathing hard. These squats are no joke. Even with assistance, the machine forces good engagement through the full range, and it’s a serious workout—legs, glutes, and core all get hit hard. If you’re looking for a compact, sturdy squat assistant that offers form guidance, adjustable resistance/assistance, and solid build quality for home use, the DERACY Squat Machine is a great choice. Setup is straightforward, the included tools are a pleasant surprise, and the workout it delivers is legit. Highly recommended for anyone wanting safer, more controlled squats at home.

The Deracy Squat Machine was very easy to put together. The instructions were accurate and easy to follow. The black rollers for your feet and knees are foam and the blue rollers for you behind are a hard plastic. The plastic is hard. We tried to do abs as the video showed and it was very hard on the back, left marks. One I got it put together, the real test began. The squat machine is for beginners. If you workout everyday and are fit, this squat machine would be way to easy for you and probably wouldn't help with your workout routine. I have a long way to go in my exercise journey and I think this squat machine could use more resistance, especially the arm bands. There is no resistance with them, way too easy. I did feel it in my legs but it took a long time for that to happen. If there was an extra couple of resistance bands and the arm bands were shorter this would be a solid squat machine. All in all, it does help maintain your form during squats and I do think it is worth it for beginners.

I used to really struggle with full squats — either my form felt off or I couldn’t go deep comfortably. With this machine, it’s honestly so much easier to get into a proper full squat without overthinking it. It guides the movement in a way that feels controlled and stable, and I love using the roller for focused glute work too. The machine feels solid during workouts — no shaking or cheap parts — and for the price, the quality is actually impressive. Within just a day or two, I could already feel my glutes waking up (in a good way 😅). I’m genuinely satisfied with this one. If you want something that makes squats more approachable and effective at home, this is a great pick. I wanted one piece that could do more than just legs, and this delivers — glutes, shoulders, arms, back… You name it. Switching between heights and band levels is quick, so my routine flows without stops. It’s rock solid for squats and lunges, and the force distribution thing feels real — my joints aren’t screaming like with free weights. The resistance bands feel a touch light, so heavy lifters might want to add heavier bands, but nothing the average user will complain about. It's easy to make. It took me 25 minutes to build this setup. I'm super happy with this machine.

This isn't a bad item but there is a lot lacking in my opinion. First I do think it's a pretty fair price for what you get straight out of the box. Out of the box it was fairly easy to assembly and get "working" out right away. The quality seems pretty good and I do think it's fairly durable. The two things I don't really care for both are related to resistance. I wish the adjustable arms down had adjustable resistance and could add significant more. You can use this as is, unweighted, or you can add some weight while using it. The other thing is the "resistance" band that came for your arms. I wish it came with an assortment so YOu can adjust how much weight you use for it.
