Everymate 3-in-1 Leg Extension & Curl Machine Review
Updated September 2026 with my follow-up review · First tested January 2026 · 2 videos
If you've got real floor space, this is a well-built leg extension and curl machine for the money. It felt solid, it adjusts to fit a 6'5" guy, and switching from extensions to curls is just a pin. The catch is the footprint. In my single-car garage I had a hard time finding a spot where I could still get in and out of it.
Buy it if
- Buy it if you've got a basement, spare room or bigger garage with open floor.
- Buy it if leg extensions and leg curls are the two things your home gym can't do right now.
- Buy it if you've been rigging up cables and an ankle strap to fake leg curls.
- Buy it if you're tall. The seat, backrest, thigh pad and leg roller all adjust.
Skip it if
- Skip it if your gym is a single-car garage that's already full.
- Skip it if you already own a squat rack. Everymate's rack attachment does the same two movements without the floor.
- Skip it if every piece in your gym has to do more than one job.

Before you buy
What I don't love
It eats floor
The frame is about 9.4 square feet, and you need room around it to sit down and get back out. In my garage, every spot that worked cut into the space I train in.
The listing's math is off
Amazon says 7.9 square feet. Its own 38 by 35.5 inch dimensions work out to about 9.4. Plan around the bigger number.
Picture-only instructions
No words, just drawings. It all goes together fine, but the seat bolts go in from underneath and that part was a pain.
The seat moves a little
There's a bit of wobble in the seat because it adjusts. Not a big deal. The parts that are supposed to be solid are solid.

Is it worth the floor space?
I come back to the machine to answer the real question: does it earn the floor it takes up in a small garage gym.
Built it, then hunted for a spot
I put it together from picture-only instructions, load 25 lbs, try both movements, and run into the space problem right away.
Questions I get
How much floor space does it need?
The frame is 38 by 35.5 inches, about 9.4 square feet. The listing says 7.9, which doesn't match its own numbers. Plan on 9.4 plus room to sit down in it and get back out.
Is it hard to put together?
Not hard, just slow. The instructions are all pictures, no words. The seat was the pain, you flip it and run the bolts in from underneath.
Can a tall guy use it?
I'm 6'5" and it fit me. The seat height, backrest, thigh pad and ankle roller all adjust.
How do you switch from extensions to curls?
Pull the pin, swing the arm to the other side, put the pin back in. It's easier with the weight off.
Should I get the rack attachment instead?
If you already own a squat rack, probably. It does the same two movements and lives on the rack you already have. The machine makes sense when you have the floor or don't own a rack.
