I am mechanically challenged. Just how complicated is it to set up?

You attach the shoulder pads with 3 bolts each. Put the two pulley bars into their receptacles and attach with a large knob. Run the ropes through the pulleys, then through a cylinder under the carriage, and tie a knot in the end to keep them sliding back out. That's it.

I am also mechanically challenged and didn't think it was that difficult. It more or less comes put together.

It is extremely easy to set up. I thought there would be more to it but no, it's pretty much done.

The instructions are quite clear. You may need someone to help you. Beautiful unit. Well built. Strong springs.

I would suggest looking up directions because there are several items to be set, time, stations etc. instructions are quite easy to follow. Good luck!

It's pretty easy to assemble .. if I can do it you can .. I used the directions that came with it but it is very easy to figure out even without instructions .. contact manufacturer for instructions .. you can do it! good luck

Not difficult at all. My husband put the machine together in fairly short amount of time. The motor is heavy,so be sure you place the machine where you want it, since its difficult to move. I made that mistake.

Good luck. It's not easy or intuitive. Read the manual carefully (in between the lines) and you might figure it out. I threw mine away.

It was not hard to set up. I have older kids so we all set it up together. It is tall, so two people would be ideal. The hardest part to me was the guide lines. The instructions were not clear on how to set these up.

It is probably fairly simple if you have all the tools. I paid a shop $40 to have it installed.

Sorry for the delayed response. I bought this product over a year ago so I can't remember if there were instructions but I don't recall have issues getting it set up. I did have an issue with trainer even though I haven't used it too much but the company agreed to send me the part I needed.

In my opinion, this is one of the easiest machines to set up I have ever encountered; althouh, if you are not tech inclined... every thing can somehow become hard! Not sure your case though

It's not hard but you should be able to use basic tool, screw drivers and so

I don't remember, but it must have been very simple to set up. I'm a 78 year old lady with not much hands on skills with equipment! Alexander R. Ng had the best answer for you.

The term "easy" is relative. I would recommend downloading the manual to obtain a good understanding of the install and setup procedures. But, the average person shouldn't have that much of a problem if instructions are read and followed carefully. Rule of thumb: just don't connect and reconnect while any of the components are on! Turn them off and check connections before turning anything on. If in doubt, hire a professional.

I think if you have 1 or 2 friends help you hopefully 1 of you is mechanically skilled have some good tools is the tech mechanic or machinist would help and you can take it apart pretty easy leave it in big chunks put it in to pick up an of you go I know because they did it personally I think it's harder to setup the first time so it's quite move all

I'm not mechanical at all, and I set it up it about 15 minutes. Just follow the instructions in the booklet (which are simple to follow).

The set up is too easy, just download the app and link it as simple as that. There is a video in YouTube explaining the set up.

It's really easy! You'll be able to do it! I also added a wire wheel with no prob. I am very happy with mine!

It takes only a few minutes to set up but you need 2 people. Getting it down u need 2 people to or you might break it trying to get it down by yourself.
