Guy is very confusing misnaming the bolt numbers etc. this video should be redone
Horrendously poor instructions. Both written and video. You don’t really show the details and written instructions are a headbanger. Not surprised that others felt the same.
And because the written instructions don’t make clear the order of assembly, you end up having to disassemble some parts and redo it again.
We often can’t really see what you’re doing
Definitely not a good assembly sheet. Video was only a fraction better. Was it the goal of the person behind the camera to get as far away from assembly as possible?
Please redo this assembly and include the back upright
Going to echo the other comments here, this is a simply a bad assembly video. The paper instructions while difficult to parse at first, is at least factually accurate. The correct bolt labels are shown, the measurements provided are accurate, and if you follow the bolt placements to the T, it all goes together.
I’ll give credit in that this video is very useful from a macro perspective, showing you the workflow and the best sequence to do your build. The paper instructions lack step by step instructions and this video at least fills that gap well. On the other hand and why IMO this video needs to be re-shot is that on MANY occasions, this video is simply factually incorrect, and worse, if you were to follow the bolt numbers as verbalized in this video, you’ll end up short the right parts further in the build. The wrong bolt numbers get used multiple times. Bolt numbers that don’t exist are verbalized. Calling for the use of one bolt number when another VERY similar bolt (bolts 2 and 4 are same diameter but have a 10 mm difference in length, very easy to misjudge) is intended. The lack of close ups or POV is also frustrating.
Compared to other assembly videos from BoS, this is easily the worst quality one I’ve come across, and by a large margin.
Its been half a year you guys need a better video and instruction paper. Its a pain to set up
So, I just put the one that I ordered together, it took probably 1.5 hours. Most of that was labeling the nuts/bolts/parts just for my own OCD. The video certainly helps you navigate through this process and can help speed things up. However, the most complicated part of this is the cable assembly, which just so happens to be where this video goes off the rails at the 8:20 mark. When the person assembling says, "I don't know what I'm doing" or "It's confusing", then you should probably stop, run through it a few times, then start the video again omitting all of that. The cable part took the longest because it isn't clear on the instruction sheet nor is the video instruction good. Also, he goes goes left to right instead of right to left on the instructions (Again, doesn't really matter, but in the spirit of not confusing people, just do it how the instructions are. Anyways, all is well that ends well.
I agree and would go a step further. While I appreciate the video, I think that if BoS is going to invest the time to create the videos, they should be professional. Including someone working the camera getting all the correct angles. This stuff isn't cheap and I don't spend my days building equipment. If the intent was to be helpful to their clients, which I believe it is, then do it right.....
Echoed. Also, maybe have someone on camera that at least is willing to pretend they actually like the product and appreciate the engineering of it. This guy shows no respect for the people that spend their money to buy it.
So definitely needed the video because the paper instructions are very tricky. What would help if the bolts were numbered on the packaging and I literally was guessing at the beginning. But overall very happy with it once done building lol
This video is not very good. He names some of the bolts wrong, 4 when he means 2. There should have been closeups each time he puts something together that's not visible to the camera, the pulleys, the cables. The printed instructions do not make it clear which bolt is which. The length of the bolt does not match the number in the list of bolts. I've been waiting for all the boxes to arrive via UPS, but they lost a couple and delayed a couple more for over 2 weeks. On top of that, I'm missing the two weight stack poles. My experience with this product and Bells of Steel has been very frustrating and aggravating.
Can this video be redone with proper close up shots and angles?
I just purchased the Weight Stack All-in-One Trainer and I am dreading putting it together, especially since there is not even a video for it. The belt squat took me twice as long as it should of because of poor instructions and bolts not labeled well. Good thing I love using it!
Sorry to hear about the instructions! Hopefully things go better with the all in one trainer.
We hope to have assembly videos for most of our bigger items going forward. It's a work in progress.
@@BELLSOFSTEEL Are you closed all the time? I was trying to get tracking info for All-in-One trainer order.
Definitely takes more than 30 minutes...
Dude she needs to hold that camera with better detail upclose
Comes with good assembly instructions 😂 😂 😂 😂. Not really. They were trying to save paper I think.
The instructions on paper for sure isn't the best 😅😅 that's why we got videos! 😂😂
@@BELLSOFSTEEL invest in a colour printer or break 'step 3' into multiple parts because there is no possible way to tell which cable is which, was easily the most frustrating piece of gym equipment i have put together because of this
I wouldn't mind getting the plate loaded version of this, but I don't know if it would fit my basement ceiling, which is only 82 and 1/4 in.
well the listed height is 80.9"... so I'd say yes
I wish they would also be offered in 90 inch versions. Most basements are just under 8 feet at ( usually between 91-94 inches) . 90 would allow significant more ROM.
Nice but can they connect to a rack?
i would say yes. Both of the L-brackets at the top and bottom are slotted openings so you could stick the bolt anywhere vertically along there which could work for different rack types... would be similar as attaching it to the wall.
The instructions are just terrible. Good luck trying to figure those out. Without this you would need an engineer.
that's why we got these videos 😅😅
@@BELLSOFSTEEL The video is not all that great either to be honest. One camera angle, the mic cuts in and out, and he’s standing in front of the view for a lot of cable threading portion. I wouldn’t be so sarcastic about it.
@@MPLang2212 not to mention, no close ups of what his hands are actually doing and the parts etc.
socket wrench size seems to be incorrect for the base bolts. Anyone know the correct size?He states 17mm and 19mm, but my 19mm didn't fit the biggest bolts. any help is appreciated.
Please reach out to our support team with info about the bolt's you're referring to, they'll be able to tell you exactly which size you're going to need

Can you have a Single "Lung"?
Making it look easy 👍🏼
mans a pro at this 😉😉💯💯
@@BELLSOFSTEEL He might be a pro at assembling, but he is not a pro at presenting.
You lie
Love you guys but this video is hilarious 😅
Are the handle attachments not included?
Just bought this and I'm about to put the pulleys together and dreading it. Dont even know if all of the screws I put in were correct since the packaging doesn't label them or picture them in the "assembly instructions"
Best of luck!
Feel free to reach out to our customer service team by email or phone if you have any questions about it.
What is the overall footprint deptj wise? Confused in site says 25" but the plate loaded says 28"?
our stack version is 25, but with the plate version its 28
Good assembly instructions???? Lies!None of the bolts are labeled 😅
He just said bolt 9 and there is no bolt 9.
They never mention the stickers for weight increments. Just to confirm this comes with a sticker sheet correct?
For any future viewers seeing this comment, yes, the weights come with a sticker sheet. The weight plates themselves are all identical, so you can freely stack the weights arbitrarily during assembly and then place the correct stickers on after.
Are the posts for this 3x3?
60 mm
When is the plate loaded version back in stock have emailed few times but no response. In stock for uk shipping too
Can someone please upload a good video? BOS doesn't seem to be interested in correcting this video
Estimated time to assemble?
should take no longer than 30 mins to put together! 😁😁
Thirty minutes if you've done it many times before. After unboxing everything, laying it all out, trying to make sense of the instructions, watching the video a few times, then starting the assembly that I had to stop because the weight rods are missing, it realistically will take a couple of hours.
About 30 mins to sort all the parts from the box ahaha. It took me two hours.
For any future people seeing this. I'm pretty mechanically inclined and have setup plenty of fitness equipment. Took me like 2.5 hours not including unboxing, which takes like 30 minutes by itself to get all the plastic wrap and straps off of the boxes.
They should've put more effort into this video. He mislabels a lot of stuff and they didn't even bother to put a text box or something in to correct him. I'll say the one good thing about this video is the order at which he puts it together. Its fairly simple to put together just following this video along and also reading the instructions.
78. That’s how many “wtf” during assembly.
the mountain working for bells of steel wtf
Please make a better instruction video this is ass and label the bolts
Worst instructions I have ever watched. And the written ones are a joke also. Total crap. Take the time when you charge thousands for these things. Ridiculous.
For the wrenches buy two of each so you have one to hold other side while other tightens. Had to do an extra trip to home depo….also when done return the tools save money
Just bought my new set. I'm here crying because the paper instructions the set came with are horrible. Even worse is this video. No close ups, there are multiple size bolts and no clear instructions on which is the correct bolt to use. I give up on setting this up for now. Bells of Steel should be embarrassed of this ridiculous video.
Sorry you're having difficulties with the setup! On future assembly videos, we'll try to add more close up shots.
As for the setup of your equipment, if you're still needing help, feel free to reach out to us via phone or email, we'll even happily jump on a video chat with you to assist you in getting this set up.

It’s funny. The written instructions are terrible and give you no idea of the order to do anything in and this video is also terrible and gives confusing and inaccurate info and doesn’t give any close ups. So neither one is good enough but with both together you can actually figure it out with some puzzling
Apologies for the confusion, definitely something for us to make a note of to add more close up shots in future installation videos
@@BELLSOFSTEEL It isn't a problem in this video but in the power cage assembly video you NEED to add a part at the beginning where you say what tools are required - I had to go to home depot twice because of unclear instructions.
@@BELLSOFSTEEL Does the metal plate have to go under the two rubber bumpers? Forgot to put it on.
Whew, I love bells of steel but this video sucks and the instructions suck. Bolts needs to be labeled seriously
