Hello guys,

I have a machine like this at home currently is not working but I was thinking on getting it fixed, would it be enough to get fit at home or would you suggest something else I should get?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Looks like it doesn't have any way to train legs so you should probably get something extra for that. Legs are hard to train with just bodyweight because the muscles are too strong and don't get exhausted from just the weight of your body.

Can you pull the handles in the middle towards you in a rowing motion, or is it just for pushing? If not, you need some way to train your back also. Maybe back extension would work as a bodyweight exercise.

Pic shows a pretty clear leg raise and lat pulldown as you find standard on these types of machines
