To get into and out of the machine, does the top pad that is above the knees have to be removed?

Unfortunately it does. Not extremely inconvenient but not my favorite top pad placement either. I know other leg curl/ ext machines have a knee pad that is shaped like a 7 instead of a T so u can slide under it. But overall it is a good machine well worth the money

I only use the top pad when doing leg curls, but to answer your question yes. It's an easy process that involves pulling the pin with one hand and removing the pad with the other. What you can't see on the picture is that there is an insert for the pad for safe keeping behind the girl on her right side.

No, it's better to remove it because your knee will start sweating under it and it becomes uncomfortable..

There is a button on the bottom that you push up and that will release the top.

I would assume you could since the knee pad is wide enough not to roll and the kneepad is placed on properly.

The pad can be unscrewed from the chair. At that point you could reupholster the pad by removing the staples from the cover which holds the padding in place.

No, you do not have to remove the seat. If you have anything stored in the bag, you might want to remove that item because it folds up to about a 6 inch depth.

There is a threaded shaft and an adjustable rubber pad or grommet. The threaded shaft does not appear to be removable by hand, but it does appear to be removable.

yes you can remove it. it is adjustable with a quick pin or take it off. the top bar with pads can slide our of the frame. it is very easy to configure for different exercises.

I have it packed away so I can't say. However, I have bad knees and a bad back and it is EZ for me to get in and out of!

Never tried to do that but I think not as the foot bar links those side bars together and I don't think the foot pad separates from the bar. Liked this chair when I had my hip replacement but one hole didn't match up exactly and had to get help from the handyman in apt building. He had a tough time too.

It doesn't appear removable. I use a pillowcase over it as a cover to absorb any butt-sweat. There are screws attaching the bottom plate which the fabric goes under, and which the legs (very solid legs) are attached to. I wouldn't want to potentially mess anything up by unscrewing it. Usually if the fabric is removable, there would be a zipper or velcro or something that would allow easier removal, but this chair has none.

Yes, it can be remove but if it will be an off and on setup then it's not right for your need 'coz the roller pads are lock in by the metal end caps.

Yes, you have staples on the underside that I think could be removed to free the covering from the pad. I don't think that the padding is thin but it does compress under the weight of your body and knees. The only way to improve the comfort would be to use a cushioning product that was denser or put an additional pad on the surface. Overall I am happy with the construction and functionality of the product.

The top pad probably needs to be repositioned. You can open the zipper to check the pad and move it if needed

No, the moving/massaging components are all located on the bottom of the feet only. The foot compartments do squeeze the entire foot though which includes the top of the feet.
