    Commercial Smith Machines FAQs

    The benefits of using a Smith machine include:

    • It can help to prevent injuries, especially for beginners or people who are recovering from an injury.
    • It can help to improve your form and technique, as the bar is guided along a set of rails.
    • It can be a good option for exercises that require a lot of weight, such as squats and bench presses.
    • It can be a convenient option, as it takes up less space than free weights.

    Squats, bench presses, shoulder presses, bent-over rows, lunges, deadlifts, calf raises, and more - very versatile for full-body training.

    For a smith machine, we recommend the following space:

    • 3 feet of clearance in front of the machine to allow for safe loading and unloading of weights.
    • 2 feet of clearance on either side of the machine to allow for free movement of the bar.
    • 6 feet of clearance above the machine to allow for safe use of the pull-up bar.

    Regularly inspect components and lubricate moving parts. Follow manufacturer guidelines.

    Smith machines can simplify lifting by providing a stable, fixed path for the barbell, reducing the need for the lifter to balance the weight. This can be particularly advantageous for beginners or those focusing on isolated muscle training.

    However, for developing functional strength and engaging stabilizing muscles, incorporating free weights into a workout routine remains essential.

    We offer both Smith machines for those seeking guided movement and free weights for comprehensive strength training.
