3-in-1 Bench Press Shoulder Press Machine V7

Name: 3-in-1 Bench Press Shoulder Press Machine V7
Brand: GMWD
Rating: 4.22 (3 reviews)

The GMWD V7 is a budget, bolt-together plate-loaded machine that combines flat bench, incline, and shoulder press into one compact footprint with a built-in adjustable bench. A converging arm path – fixed arcs that close in toward each other at the top of the press, similar to a dumbbell press – runs on 15 height positions at roughly 1.12” intervals, while the integrated bench adjusts across seven angles from 0 to 85 degrees via a linked pop-pin system that moves the seat and backrest together. Multi-grip handles offer high, middle, and low hand positions, and gas-assisted pistons ease the machine’s height adjustments even while loaded. It’s designed as a space-efficient accessory press station for home gyms rather than a heavy one-rep-max machine: each arm is rated to 150 lb (300 lb total), and independent reviewers consistently describe it as best suited to hypertrophy-style training that supplements a free weight routine.

What is a Machine?

What a strength machine is

A strength machine guides the resistance along a fixed path so you can train a movement safely, often without a spotter. The main types: selectorized (pick weight with a pin), plate-loaded (add your own plates for a heavier ceiling and better feel), and functional trainers / cable machines (adjustable pulleys for dozens of exercises).

Machines vs. free weights

Machines shine for isolation, safety, and high-rep hypertrophy, and for training hard alone. Free weights build more stabilizer strength and carry over better to sport. Most well-rounded home gyms use a rack and barbell as the core and add one machine — often a cable/functional trainer or a lat-pulldown/row — to fill the gaps.

The sub-types worth knowing

“Machines” covers several categories that barely compete with each other: GHDs for hamstring and posterior-chain work, belt squats for loading the legs without the bar on your back, leg press / hack squat combos for heavy quad volume, reverse hypers for posterior-chain work and lower-back decompression, cable towers and functional trainers for pulling movements, and row machines. Pick the one that fills a gap in what your rack and barbell already do. Almost nobody needs two.

Space and standalone vs. rack-mounted

Most of these come in a standalone version and a cheaper rack-attachment version. The attachment saves floor space and money, but often gives up stability or range of motion — a tradeoff worth checking on the specific product rather than assuming, since it varies a lot between designs.

A note on ratings

Machine listings frequently show a manufacturer’s own on-site rating, which runs high (4.7–5.0 is typical) and sometimes pools reviews across a whole product family rather than the exact configuration you’re buying. Where we have independent hands-on coverage, our summaries anchor to that instead, and say so on the product page.

The GMWD V7 packs flat bench, incline, and shoulder press into one compact, plate-loaded footprint for around $560-600, and every independent reviewer who has used it agrees the converging arm path – a fixed arc that closes in at the top like a pair of dumbbells – genuinely delivers on that promise, with one reviewer calling it “a Smith machine for dumbbells” and another saying it “crushes” the chest on flat and incline work. Functionality is the standout: 15 arm-height positions, seven bench angles (0-85 degrees), and three grip widths let it cover a real range of pressing variations in a single unit. Build quality is the weakest dimension – every reviewer independently notes the same tradeoffs of a budget bolt-together machine: thinner-gauge steel, plastic plate horns, and visible arm wobble once loading climbs past roughly 100 lb per side. Reviewers consistently recommend it as a hypertrophy-focused accessory piece to supplement free-weight training rather than as a primary heavy-pressing station, and one reviewer’s biggest complaint – the fixed, non-adjustable 25” handle-to-handle width – is worth knowing before buying for a smaller-framed user.

+Functionality: converging arm path closes in at the top like a dumbbell press, with 15 arm-height positions, 7 bench angles (0-85 degrees), and 3 grip widths covering flat, incline, and shoulder press in one unit (GMWD; YouTube: TheJungleGymReviews, The Home Gym Life Project)
+Value: three flat/incline/shoulder-press stations for roughly $560-600 has no close competitor at this price point per two independent reviewers (YouTube: TheJungleGymReviews, officialjuanmena)
+Versatility: gas-assisted height adjustment and a pop-pin bench system make switching between flat, incline, and shoulder press fast without tools (GMWD; YouTube: The Home Gym Life Project)
+Build quality: padding, vinyl, and stitching rated above average for the price tier, with stability holding up well even under heavy loading (YouTube: officialjuanmena)

−Build quality: thinner-gauge bolt-together steel and plastic plate horns produce visible arm wobble/vibration once loading passes roughly 100 lb per side (YouTube: TheJungleGymReviews, The Home Gym Life Project)
−Versatility: the 25" handle-to-handle width is fixed and not adjustable, which one reviewer found too wide for a smaller-framed user (teenage son, spouse) (YouTube: The Home Gym Life Project)
−Value: one reviewer argues the $599 list price should be closer to $499 given the build tier, though frequent sales bring it down (YouTube: The Home Gym Life Project)
−Durability: arms are rated to 150 lb each (300 lb total) and are not built for one-rep-max or powerlifting-style loading; one reviewer felt they could bend under a sudden drop or fall (YouTube: The Home Gym Life Project)
