Pretty good review. You might want to mention the types of exercises (bench press, incline press, curls, etc.) rather than generalize. Much better than your electronics reviews.

I like that you mentioned your height and weight. I've had tall friends suggest exercise equipment, only to find my legs dangling in mid-air when I try them (I'm 5'0"). I'm guilty too... I once suggested a chin bar to a guy that weighed a lot more than me, and it buckled under his weight. So size matters when you are picking out equipment.

I would strongly encourage people to "try before you buy", especially with the expensive mailorder equipment that is a hassle to return. A machine that doesn't 'fit' is not only uncomfortable, but can make you more prone to injuries.
