Leg Curl/Leg Extension DRE8025

First time purchasing from Dynasty - customer service was excellent. They were very prompt and helpful throughout the purchasing process, answered emails even on weekends, and clearly understood the equipment very well. The quality of the product is very high. I looked for a long time for a selectorized leg extension / seated leg curl with a 1:1 ratio, good range of motion for different body types (machine is for me and my wife), and the half thigh pad with handles for leg curls. The fact that the pad also articulates is really nice. My biggest concern with these types of machines was limited range of motion/stretch on leg extensions, and the thinner seat pad with the recessed leg design solves that problem. I am 5'8", 145 lbs, 33 years old and my wife is shorter/smaller, and it works perfectly for both of us. We both get a good stretch on leg extensions and leg curls, and I can’t even use the full range of motion available. I have zero knee pain with this machine, and the pivot point lines up perfectly with the knee joint for both of us. Transitioning from leg extensions to leg curls is seamless, especially because of the counterweight. The lever-style adjustments versus pop pins are also a very nice quality-of-life improvement. The 210 lb weight stack is more than enough for my type of training, which is mostly 8–15 rep hypertrophy sets. I think this is more than enough for most lifters, you would have to be pretty big/strong to need anything north of the standard weight stack. Gym pin is workable, but be mindful of the shroud/counterweight if you go that option! Shipping and delivery - had no issues. Packaging was very good with no damage, and the quality of the padding and materials feels very solid. Assembly was fairly simple. Basic allen keys or a hex bit socket set with a ratchet will work fine. I was able to unpackage and move around everything myself (except the weight stack frame as it is large) and assembly was fine by myself. If you are just using allen keys, you will need at least an 8mm and an adjustable wrench. The instructions are similar to other commercial machines from what I have seen, where it is more of an exploded diagram. I have limited experience, for what it’s worth, but I have owned Hoist/Nautilus equipment. I appreciated that they took the effort to create a video to help walk through the assembly. I wouldn’t read too much into other comments about assembly. Yes, these are not 25 page step-by-step instructions, but it really wasn’t that bad! Highly recommend the brand and machine to anyone in the market! I would buy again / other pieces!

I recently purchased this leg extension/leg curl machine from dynasty and have been extremely impressed with it. It arrived exceptionally well packaged, and everything was protected during shipping. I found zero quality control issues—no missing hardware, damaged parts, or manufacturing defects. Once I got it assembled, the first thing I noticed was how incredibly smooth the movements felt. It operated flawlessly throughout the entire range of motion, with no sticking points or rough spots. The true 1:1 ratio made this piece a no brainer for me. Most leg ext/leg curl machines out there are not true 1:1 ratio so that was a big reason for purchasing this. Switching between extensions and leg curls was also extremely quick, smooth, and very easy. Assembly was straightforward. Anyone with decent mechanical skills should have no problem putting it together using the included diagram and installation video. The only thing I wish was included was some allen keys but luckily I was able to get it done with some spare allen keys I had. What really stood out though was the customer service. Any questions I had were answered quickly and professionally! Looking forward to getting some more stuff from dynasty!

The leg curl/extension was packaged well, and everything arrived in good condition. It all went downhill from there. Instead of sending proper assembly instructions, Dynasty sent a one page diagram for assembly (which was awful). They then pointed me to an "assembly video", which certainly helped more than the completely useless diagram did, but the video wasn't great. The video shows two guys in a factory in China, who don't say a single word during the video. For a $3K machine, it's beyond ridiculous that it would be sent out without proper assembly instructions. The machine is just okay, and is absolutely NOT worth the $3K price that I paid for it. The leg roller is smaller than any other commercial leg machine I've used. Another minor nitpick for me (an this is a me thing), I am not a fan (at all) of the goofy Dynasty logo with the odd looking crown. They should stick to just putting their company name on the machine, and ditch the terrible looking logo! The range of motion is just okay. If this machine was half the price it's being sold for, it would be a good option. At the $3K price point, there are FAR better options out there. Save your money, and buy from a more established brand. This was my first purchase from Dynasty, and will absolutely be my last purchase from this company.
