What our customers say
“Professional, efficient, reasonably priced. Very recommended.”
“My mum actually found Quentin from Muscles Hire first, and after seeing how great he was, I started using him too for furniture assembly and general handyman jobs. He's been fantastic every time, reliable, honest, and just an all-round nice guy. Since then, a number of my mum's friends have also used Quentin's services, and they've all had great experiences. He's always patient, respectful, and gets the job done properly.”
“Quentin is great. Solid service, extremely good communication and the work is superb. We have used him for multiple projects over the years and will continue to do so.”
How we price it
The exact price depends on your specific model, since two items that look similar can be very different to build. The most accurate way is to send a photo of the finished item from the store website, or its model reference, when you request your quote. A $120 minimum applies per visit, so several items together in one visit is usually the best value.

Single-station gyms are compact all-in-one resistance machines for home use. The frame, cable, and weight stack sequence is the same as a larger gym machine, but on a smaller scale. The frame goes together first: base plate, upright, and cross-arm. The upright needs to be confirmed vertical before the cross-arm bolt is tightened. The cross-arm carries the top pulley and takes the full load of the cable system, so the upright bolt needs to be at the torque specified in the instructions. Pulleys on a single-station gym are usually a top pulley on the cross-arm and a low pulley at the base of the upright. Each pulley shaft needs to be confirmed tight before the cable is routed. A loose pulley shaft can shift under load and cause the cable to jump the groove. Cable routing goes from the weight stack sheave, up through the low pulley if there is one, then up through the upright interior, over the top pulley, and down to the attachment point. Keeping track of the cable path before routing is easier than correcting it after. Most instructions have a cable path diagram; reading it before routing avoids the need to re-route. The weight stack slides onto guide rods before the stack cover is fitted. The guide rods need to be confirmed seated in the base plate brackets before the stack is loaded. A guide rod that is not fully seated will allow the stack to jam when the stack reaches the top of its travel. The seat or pad attaches to the frame after the cable and weight stack are confirmed. Work covers South Sydney, St George, the Eastern Suburbs, Inner West and the inner city. Before leaving, the assembled piece gets photographed for the record.
