I've set this up in our family room and it does not look out of place as most strength machines would. In fact with the wood trim and brown leather upholstery it's beautiful and is a conversation piece with all of our guests. Although it's designed for two primary muscle groups just about an exercise can be performed using a little creativity, for example I sit on the ground for row and lat pull downs and stand up for curls and triceps. It can also be used for legs with an inexpensive ankle strap. This is a great looking, and smooth as silk alternative to a traditional home gym or cable cross-over.
