All-In-One Smith Machine with Functional Trainer SM12 2.0

I did a lot of research for a smith machine/functional trainer to put in my home gym. The SM12 2.0 won due to the 1:1 cable ratio. Machine is sturdy and works smoothly. Would be nice to have a place to hang attachments like the dip bars or squat safety arms on the machine out of the way while using the cables but not a big deal to just set them off to the side on the floor. Since I was installing over carpet I build a platform with 3/4 inch plywood and 3/4 inch mats for extra stability. I was concerned about there being no bolt down points, but customer service confirmed it was designed to be used without bolting down. I did not install the weight holder so I could get it closer to the wall. If one was inclined the holes meant for the weight dividers could be used to bolt the rear of the machine down, but it hasn't tried to slip or tip on me yet. Assembly was easy, about 3 hours though the cables were mislabeled forcing me to undo the cable system and redo it, which was easy enough to do. For the sale price of 999.99 it ticks all the boxes and will see a good amount of use as it saves the 30 minute drive to the gym.

I was looking to get rid of a few machines I had in my home gym and pickup something that would allow me to do the same exercises while taking up less space. I am so happy that I purchased this rack and it has become the powerhouse of my workouts. I have definitely put this rack to the test and it has held up each and every time. I was pleasantly surprised with the pulleys and attachments. I would absolutely buy this again if I needed to.

Super happy with this purchase! The price was right. The quality was perfect for a home gym. The machine came in 4 boxes, all parts were there with no damage. Directions were simple, assembly was simple. My wife and I had it together in about 3hrs.

Great for cost and great quality! Took me about 4-5 hours to assemble alone. Directions were clear.

I was a little skeptical at first because it didn't have many reviews, but I'm so glad I bought it because it's such a great machine that I use it every day now. It's so versatile and easy to use.

I bought this product because the functionality and 2x2 post with 1 inch hole. I can use my old power cage attachment with it.
It took me about 3 hour to install the unit by myself . The instructions are easy enough to follow. I had some questions about the design. The seller resolved my question in timely manner. By the way, A power ratchet helped a lot. I didn’t assemble the plate storage to fit into my space. And I don’t want to bolt the cage to my garage floor. So I built a weight lifting platform with plywood and horse stall mat. Then I bolt the cage to that platform.
Build quality of cage is very solid and it provides all my needs. A++.
The only suggestion I have is to the smith machine barbell could use a better sleeve design. I’m willing to pay extra to buy a good solid sleeve .
Overall great cage for the money.

So far so good with the machine. It feels well built and sturdy. I was really impressed with the packing and the instructions to assemble it. I upgraded to the aluminum pulleys and it’s really smooth.

As advertised. Works great!

I’m very satisfied with my purchase of the SM12 2.0. The cable system operates noticeably smoother than my previous setup, and the 1:1 ratio eliminated the need for additional weight plates when transitioning from a 2:1 system. Customer service has also been excellent—responses regarding the smith bar weight and cable carriage assembly were prompt and helpful.

This is a good quality machine and feels very stable. It fell short in a couple areas for me. For the pulleys, you must have weight on both sides or else it does not run smooth at all. As a 5’4” female, I can’t use the bar to do hip thrusts or RDLs because the bar does not go low enough to the ground. The bar will always be about a foot and a half from the ground unless you remove some of the padding and safety components. That is a huge let down for me and I would not have purchased if I had known this. Aside from legs/glutes, you can get a good workout in for any other muscle group!

Equipment is amazing smith feels so
Smooth and cabling system does to!

Grate product could use more cable clips slightly bigger or make the cables easier to attach handles to whold like a leg press attach ment for the smith bar

Made with quality. Fit and finish is amazing.

Packaging 📦 was good, well made machine with easy detailed instructions, happy with the quality and price.

I'm really enjoying the smith machine / cable system I purchased! It is very well made and sturdy. Rails and cables are super smooth!

I was skeptical at first but decided to go with it anyway. Once I received the shipment it was super easy to put together. First use I was very surprised at the quality. Everything works as it should and very smooth. I do have ideas of additions I will be adding. I am a fabricator/ welder and plan on building out a chest press arm for each side as it is not offered on the website. As far as this machine, I could not be happier and even more motivated to get in the garage and use this machine.

I love it I can do it all

The smith machine and cables are super smooth. What sets this machine apart from the others is that it has a 1:1 cable ratio, which means it’s not a plate-eater. Most all in one trainers are a 2:1 ratio which means you would have to put double the amount of plates on to get the same effect. I’m 6’1” and can’t quite get a full range of motion on lat pulldowns without laying back a little, but I didn’t expect to anyway.

Awesome machine
Pretty easy setup

Easy assembly. Smith machine is really smooth. Completed my home gym

Seems to be a great machine so far. Had a few issues with some of the square tubing that slides for the cable pulls being bent, which I had to straighten, and a weld that bled through the inside that I had to file down so it would slide properly. Still not the smoothest cable slides I’ve seen but work ok. Overall, a fairly simple install with those exceptions. The decals on the side plates at the top were put on upside down, also. Ended up just leaving those off. Been using it everyday without any issues. The weight rack at the back of the machine is a finger pincher. Would much rather see a post mounted rack you could slide the weights onto as opposed to that, too.

Bought this for our 16yr old twins as a Christmas present with the extra bar, weights and bench. They put it together in about 3-4 hours. They absolute love it and are using it everyday. Mom likes it because of the safety features. It is very smooth and holds plenty of weight for them and Dad too.

The machine is constructed well could use to be a tad taller doing Lat pull downs from the pully's at max height is difficult unless you just sit on the floor, plate holder is ok not very good when you have lots of plates personally I just use a plate tree better organized. other than that everything is great. Machine is easy to assemble. Have had 405 on the smith bar and auxiliary bar holders seems to hold it just fine.

Thrilled with smith machine! Easy to assemble(with help from the wife). Using every day!

The cage has no issue with weight when doing heavy lifting. Very well balanced. The Barbell is sold with good grip. Pulley system is very smooth with light or heavy weight. You can adjust Pulleys to different levels to preform multiple exercises.

I was super impressed with this product right out of the box! Everything came packaged well, and the instructions were so easy to follow and intuitive to put together. It took me probably two hours by myself. I put it to use right away,
