With the addition of weight plates or a weight stack, these Smith machines offer comprehensive resistance training, delivering exceptional results for the entire body.

For commercial gyms and high-demand facilities, our commercial-grade Smith machines are built to endure rigorous usage and heavy payloads. Constructed from robust 11-gauge steel, these machines feature solid steel Olympic bars that effortlessly glide on chrome guide rods with silky smooth linear bearings. Some of our commercial-quality Smith machines are ingeniously counterbalanced, making them ideal for beginners and rehabilitation patients by reducing the starting weight. With options for vertical positioning or angles, such as 7 degrees, our Smith machines accommodate diverse training preferences.

All our Smith machines are designed for plate-loaded workouts, and most models offer ample storage space for plates, accommodating various exercises including squats. To further enhance your training experience, our Smith machines are often integrated with weight benches for performing chest and shoulder presses.

One standout feature of our Smith machines is their added safety benefit. In the event of a missed rep, users can swiftly lock the bar into place with a simple turn of the wrist, making them especially valuable for unsupervised workouts.

History of the Smith machine: The Smith Machine, a staple in gyms worldwide, traces its origins back to the early 1950s, invented by fitness pioneer Jack LaLanne, often dubbed the "godfather of fitness." LaLanne's invention was later perfected and popularized by Rudy Smith, a gym owner and the namesake of the machine, in the mid-20th century. Smith saw the potential in LaLanne's design for a safer way to perform heavy lifts without a spotter, by integrating a barbell that moves in a fixed vertical path. This innovation allowed for more controlled and safe execution of weightlifting exercises, making strength training accessible to a broader audience. Over the years, the Smith Machine has evolved, incorporating advanced features such as linear bearings and counterbalancing to further enhance user safety and workout efficiency. Today, it remains an essential component of fitness enthusiasts' routines, offering a versatile tool for developing strength and muscle across a wide range of exercises.
