Inspire Fitness M4 Hybrid Multi Gym

- This is a demonstration video of the Inspire Fitness M4 Hybrid Home Gym with optional Leg Press. Every station on this gym offers isolateral movement, which allows the left and right side to be operated independent of one another with a 50/50 split of the resistance. This helps to ensure that your dominant side does not do most of the heavy lifting and instead distributes the weight equally. It also allows the left & right sides to work alternating or in unison. This gym is built with commercial quality materials and craftsmanship. The bench has orthopaedic pads and multiple adjustments that can be done quickly. the split lat towers are adjustable and offer exercises above & beyond what a single lat bar can offer.
This is arguably the best home gym ever made. Just look at the glowing reviews on Google! Why did Inspire discontinue it??? The complexity of the machine and the precision that it requires simply cost too much to manufacture. The gym was listing for $4595 at the time it was discontinued.
You will not find a multi-station home gym with 100% isolateral movement anywhere else on the market.
It has a cast steel 215 lb. weight stack.
This gym is near mint condition.
Feel free to message me with any questions you may have.
Inspire Fitness is a subsidiary of Health in Motion LLC. (These are the guys behind the great Pacific Fitness brand of the 90's.)

Hi everyone, FYI: this home gym was sold on 22-DEC-2021. I am going to leave the video up on RUclips because there seems to be a lack of info available on this excellent gym. Note that Inspire Fitness also manufactured these exact same gyms for the European market under the branding “Finnlo Maximum Kraftstation M4”. If you search that you will find a few nice videos demonstrating it.
Do you by chance know how much each weight weighs?
@@allroofsinc1 Each weight plate is 10 lbs. The top plate, where the cable attaches, is 15 lbs. Total weight is 215 lbs.
How much did you sell it for?
OMG I love this gym, was looking at the M3. Did not know they made this M4… very nice Video. I’m looking you up now…
FYI for anyone still interested in this gym... As of right now, March 11, 2023 someone in Toms River, NJ has this gym for sale on Facebook Marketplace for $650. That is an absolute steal! It does not include the leg press, but looks to be in excellent condition. It is missing the cloth shrouds that go around the weight stack and cables, but those could be purchased or even made for not much $. I will update/delete this post when I see that it has been sold.
**UPDATE** As of March 18th, the seller dropped the price to $550
***Just checked March 28th and I'm not seeing it listed anymore. Looks like it sold. Someone got a screamin' deal on that one!
Damn that machine awesome.
This thing does a great deal
Would love your opinion/recommendation on Hoist V4 Elite with leg press vs. Inspire M3 with leg press.
Hi, If it's the older M3, then definitely I'd go with the Hoist. If it's the newer M3 (pretty sure it's going to be the black one), that one added some of the isolateral functionality that the M4 had, after they discontinued the M4. So, the newer M3 is going to be a much closer call between that & the Hoist V4 Elite. For you it will depend on how important the isolateral movement is. The Hoist is a battleship. The Inspire is also very well made, just not quite as much heavy gage steel as the Hoist.
Leg press... Hoist wins hands down.
If it were me, I'd go Hoist... Then you'd have the option of adding the hi-lo pulley tower down the road if you ever wanted. Good luck with your decision!
I just saw one on market place for $1000 hardly used. I'm jumping on it. Glad I didn't buy the Hoist V4 elite yet
This looks gym quality. I have the M2 which is a little bit lower then commercial stuff
Hi Michael. I would say that the M4 construction is very slightly below actual commercial quality gyms... meaning there's really not a lot of the thick plate metal like you see on commercial gyms... And the weight stack guide rods are solid .75 diameter on the M4, while they are usually solid 1.00 diameter on commercial weight stack units. That being said... The QUALITY of the frame pieces, the welding, the finish, and just the overall design, are exceptional, and as I stated on the video... near military quality/grade.
@@KevinWidomski thank you for the great information and video review. More is needed because my M2 is amazing for a home gym and like you have said not like the commercial stuff as I had a body max like the matrix stuff I see in the gym that is below techno gym, but in the video it sounded like something you would find in a gym where as my M2 is like you said slightly below
How did you deliver this? Will it all fit in the back of a pickup? We purchased one and will be picking up this weekend. We have a full-size truck and we rented a small 5x8 enclosed trailer. Any feedback would be very appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Brian, once disassembled, I fit this entire gym (including the leg press) in the back of a 2018 Chevy Traverse. No trailer needed.
@@KevinWidomski : because i move every few years back and forth overseas....is this hard to assemble and disassemble? is there a video on that?
@@mistadj it's not hard to assemble & disassemble, but it is pretty complex and takes time to do it right. I will say that the manual is very helpful with the step by step instructions.
I know you sold the Hoist V4 with leg press attachment to buy this (more of a sidegrade rather than an upgrade), but what are you going to get for your home gym now? Squat rack with pulley attachment?
I am currently using the Hoist V-Core system. It's no longer in production, but it's a very well made, versatile set.
@@KevinWidomski I see. How would you compare it to your Hoist V4 with leg press or Inspire M4 with leg press? It seems like a big downgrade since the Elite series are the best Hoist has to offer. I am asking because I have the Hoist V2 with leg press and it has no arms for the chest exercises. Instead, I use the cable attachments for everything, so it feels like a modern functional trainer (but has only one weight stack as opposed to two). Our units are both from circa 2004, but still working perfectly. Hoist really has the best build quality in the home gym industry other than Tuff Stuff. So, I want to know why you switched from the V4 to the M4 and then to the V Core. What made you ultimately switch back to Hoist?
@@dasemendemon While the Inspire unit is very well designed and built, I found that the Hoist stuff is just built like a battleship. There are things about each of these gyms that I like. The Roc-it leg press on the Hoist is much better than this Inspire leg press. When I sold the Hoist, I missed that leg press, and the articulating arms of the bench press. Even though the M4 has a very nice bench with lots of positions, I just liked the feel of the Hoist V4 Elite bench press better, even though it lacked the isolateral movement. Ultimately, the reason that I went with the V-core set, was that it offers the rock solid build quality of Hoist, with isolateral movement of the bench press and the upper lat cables. It also has a dedicated roc-it leg ext/curl station and the nice leg press too. It's like a refined V2, or a V2 on steroids. There is surprising little Hoist V-core info available online or on RUclips, so I plan to do a video on that in the near future.
@@KevinWidomski You, sir, are a legend. Not only did you answer all of my questions perfectly, you provided the best review of these rare products which have very few resources (videos, manuals, reviews, comparisons, etc) available online. I look forward to your V-Core review! I might upgrade from my V2. :)
Thanks for sharing. Where can we buy this now?
Hi, at this point in time your only option is to try & find one on the used market. They pop up on eBay and Facebook marketplace every so often.
I don’t see M4 on inspire website. What is the price with leg press attachment?
Hi, the Inspire M4 gym & leg press in this video has been sold. It is no longer being made by Inspire, which is why you don't see it on their website, other than maybe a download of the user/assembly manual.
@@KevinWidomski thanks. I recently bought M3 but not happy with it. The seat is no stable and wiggly all over. M4 certainly looks more stable and side bar pulleys are attractive!
How much cost
I'll give you $650 for you to keep it for yourself
