Pros
- Body Solid have gone to a lot of trouble to make this a sturdy machine. That may sound like a cliché but a problem some smith machines have (especially cheaper ones designed for the home) is they move. They either warp or shudder or both. This one doesn't
- you can do so much with this gym because for a start its like 3 gyms in 1. Second, the unattached adjustable bench creates heaps of options
- comes with its own weight tree. Without it you would definitely need to buy your own which means extra expense
- superbly designed and made from excellent materials
- lifetime warranty
Cons
- it costs a lot. Home Gym Review would not call it over priced since you definitely get what you are paying for But some of us will have to be happy just salivating at the thought of owning such a beautiful piece of home gym
Overall
If you are serious about going really heavy with your smith squats then this is the best combination home gym for you. It will take a huge load and do it without shuddering.
