RitFit M1 Pro Smith Machine Package, All-in-One Power Cage with Weight Stack Set, Includes LAT Pulldown & Cable Crossover System for Home Gym

Heavy duty! Super smooth smith machine, good pulley system. Excellent instructions made it easy to put together despite many parts. Incredible amount of exercises and movement combinations possible with this unit.

** Update** remaining items have arrived so it was 10 days total to get everything. For me nothing was damaged or even scratched. Still 5 stars.** For working out at home, this thing gets you ~90% of the way to what you can get at a commercial gym. It seems like most of the bad reviews are due to the way this ships so I'll start there. Amazon only provides a single tracking number, however this will ship in at least 3 parts if you're only buying the cage alone. There's 2 boxes for the cage and a third for the smith machine. Weights, bench and accessories also ship separate. If you take the tracking number provided by amazon, and put it into the order tracking on the RitFit website, you will see each individual box and respective tracking number. This is a little wonky but hopefully people will see this and know ahead of time it’s gonna take a bit for everything to arrive. As of this review I am still waiting for my bench and 35lb plates. Everything else arrived and it’s been 7 days since I ordered. Just know this isnt coming by Prime 2 day shipping. Once you have "Power Rack and Cable system" Box A and B, you can assemble the cage itself, and the Smith machine later bolts right onto it. As for the unit itself, this is my first cage/rack/smith machine or anything like it and I'm really happy thus far. I can see this lasting me for a very long time. Prior to this unit, I have worked out at home with dumbells and elastic bands and have done fairly well but decided it was time to take a step up. I got the full package with 260lb plates, bench and accessories. The cage is well constructed, and I was able to put it together by myself in about 2 hours using my impact driver. It would likely take a lot longer using just the included wrenches. Do yourself a favor and go get a cheap metric ratchet set from Harbor Freight or the like if you don't have one as it will save your wrists and hands, not to mention ensuring you get everything tight. The only negative I would give this ( and its not worth losing a star) is that the included black accessory handles are kind of lousy and will likely need to be replaced. They are good enough to get you started but definitely lower quality than the rest of the machine. Dip handles are also fairly cheap. Over all i couldn't be happier. I will likely be upgrading the front uprights in the future as well as adding some of the other accssories like the 1:1 pulleys and lat pulldown attachment, but for now I'm super happy.

If you’re thinking about it, just do it and pull the trigger! You won’t regret it! I’m very happy with this purchase. There’s so much you can do, it almost feels endless. I’m pretty strict on my daily training but it’s so easy and convenient to get sidetracked and do a full body workout. My kids (9 and 11) are in sports and they like to train with me and they love this machine too. Pulleys are buttery smooth. The 2-1 pulley ratio is where it’s at. And if you want to add more weight you can. It comes with weight horns. The smith machine glides nicely. The build quality is great, I feel safe. It’s not wobbly. The attachments are decent, I can always upgrade later. It was easy to put together. Took me 4 hours by myself. Shipping said it was going to be a week but it all came in 2 days.

Excellent. Has everything you need for your home gym. Great quality and great investment. Much bigger savings buying a package! And I love that there is a wide variety of add ons. Smith bar is the best. I would suggest buying grease/silicone spray for lubing up pulleys and attachments. Esp if in a high moisture area like a basement.

This is absolute junk. All of my weight plates stick on the guide rods. Customer services is even worse. Been talking to them for weeks and they just keep bouncing me around without issuing a full replacement of the defective product. Now I have a $2k piece of useless junk in my basement, great job RitFit

At 48 years old, I've been lifting for most of my adult life using free weights. With my 16 year old son getting into wrestling, I decided to upgrade our home gym and settled on the RitFit M1 Pro. We bought the package that includes weight stacks to make it easier to change up your pulley exercises. The stacks max out at 143 on each side, which may be all you need if you're not a power lifter. Otherwise it's plenty for the majority of things you'll be doing on the pulleys. But you can also add plates to increase the weight if you're doing big lift exercises like seated rows. The smith system is great for beginners who are still learning proper form, like my son, and it gives you the safety level that you won't get with a free barbell. It uses a hook and peg system, where you lift the bar and rotate it slightly back to disengage he hooks. When you are done, you rotate forward again to reengage. Besides the hooks, it has adjustable safeties you can set to ensure you won't get injured if the bar were to drop for any reason. As far as shipping, this is going to come in multiple boxes likely across multiple carriers and it's going to arrive over multiple days. That just how it is when you trying to deliver something this big and heavy. As noted by others, Amazon only shows one tracking number which kind of sucks, but that's an Amazon thing. I contacted the seller to ask if they could provide all of the tracking numbers, which they happily did. With the weight stacks, this came as seven separate packages divided up where most weighed in the 100 to 150 pound range. The packaging on this was excellent. Each piece was individually bubble wrapped and they even used color coded tape to indicate if a piece was specifically for the left side of the rack or the right side for pieces that were side-specific. The boxes got pretty banged up, but that's 100% on the carriers and, honestly, completely expected for big, heavy boxes. As a result, there were a couple of scuffs but nothing big enough to complain about. Assembly was easy and intuitive for me. Even though the instructions say that you need two people, I did it all by myself. I wouldn't necessarily recommend that as there are steps where you need to attach large pieces to the top and balancing them at the top of the rack while inserting bolts and fitting nuts requires a bit if ingenuity if you're going it alone, so it's probably best to have a second pair of hands. Also, having a ratchet with a 17mm socket is a big plus over the tool they give you. Overall, this probably took me 3 to 4 hours to assemble but I wasn't timing it. All in all, I'd say this is a great upgrade for us. One alterative we discussed was adding a gym membership, but then you have to actually go to the gym and we like the convenience of having your own equipment. And when weighed against the cost of gym fees, this should pay for itself in a couple of years.

Solid equipment with good assembly instructions - pretty well packaged and multiple boxes. We are having some issues with the smith machine bar not catching cleanly and a couple pieces slightly ent but not appearing to impact assembly. Cables don’t move as smoothly as some of my other equipment. Overall pretty happy. Two people two hours or less once unboxed to assemble.

Great machine for the money. Was able to assemble with minimal assistance. Stable even without anchors and I’m sure the anchors would provide even more stability.
