RitFit Smith Machine Power Rack with LAT-Pull Down System, Landmine, Barbell Bar, Plate Storage Pegs and More Training Attachment

Great smith machine that reasonably priced
There are a few ways I found to make assembly easier. Pay close attention to instructions with the placement of parts cable a little bit difficult but the payoff is awesome. If a buffoon like me can put it together you can.They did that all for $460. One can’t beat that value.Smith machine bearing are awesome. I would compare it to machines in a gym. The lat pulldown can handle 300 lbs. Lat machine is also smooth. Smith machine goes up to 500lb and at age 64 it will limit me from doing stupid things to get injured.They did a good job with the back row. In addition there is a land mine attachment and a place to use bands. This is where quality and price come to a confluence.

Great value but nearly too small
For the money, I don’t think you can beat this Smith machine. Had to wait on a replacement part but Ritfit sent it out right away. Assembly took me almost 3 hours but I did it alone. Lubed the guide rods and tested out several movements. It’s smooth and the stability is fine for a machine of this size. The pulleys work fine but I upgraded most of them with some aluminum pulleys I had, so even smoother. My Rogue bench just barely fits for me to be able to do low incline press (see pic). I have to flip the bench around for 45-degree incline and shoulder press. As you can see in the pic, the distance between the guide rods is narrow. I barely fit to be able to perform pressing movements, and my elbows hit the safety hooks if I try to flare my elbows out (e.g., guillotine press), so not sure the safety hooks will do me much good for pressing. I’m nearly 6’2” and I weigh 285 lbs. If you’re taller than me or have a wingspan greater than 73.5”, you will have to tuck your elbows to press on this. The band pegs are a nice touch, as are the foot plates and landmine attachment (which seems to have been improved over previous versions I saw in reviews on YouTube). I’ve loaded 315 pounds on the bar so far, and it felt fine. While not up to Coop’s standards, the knurling on the bar is adequate. Only thing keeping me from giving it a 5-star review is I wish it was about 2” wider between the guide rods. As I use this more, I’ll update my review if necessary.

Great Buy!!!
I started working out a couple of years ago. Not an expert by any means and certainly have made some improvements. This machine by far is going to help me so much! I love the multi-function. I have a small space and this was perfect for the height of my gym shed. Took us about 2 hours to put together. I like that this is not a huge piece of equipment but it is solid, definitely worth it. Can’t beat the price!

First Workout Thoughts
For a $400 smith machine, this is definitely good. Building it was fairly easy. I’m not great at building stuff and it took me about 4 hours (one of which was unwrapping everything). I did about 85% by myself. My lady had to come in a couple of times to hold something up while I bolted something down. Would have been much harder without her helping. One thing to remember that they label things right and left assuming you’re facing away from the back. This is important. With that said, they mislabeled one of the pieces which required me to take it apart and start over. I circled the piece in one of my photos. All other “right” and “left” components were correct but these pieces seemed to be backwards. Please see the photo to see how it’s supposed to look before trusting the right/ left labels provided.It seems very sturdy. I don’t have it floor mounted and was able to do some pull ups to test stability. The smith function absolutely has less quality than what you’d see in a higher end machine, but again, this is a small foot print, inexpensive machine. I would notice I can push one side higher than the other during reps instead of it constantly feeling like the two sides are equal.I would absolutely recommend this if you’re low on space or budget, but if you’re looking for gym quality, this isn’t the piece for you.Huge props to the previous review who included pictures of the cable install, that’s how I was able to complete that step. The directions for this part are not great.I’ll follow up if my opinion on the machine improves or gets worse, but for now, with the low cost in mind, I can give a 4/5.
