Smith Machines
New to the gym and want peace of mind that you’re training safely? Experienced lifter wanting to train solo at home? One of our smith machines is all you need.
Â
A smith machine offers all the functionality you’d get from traditional barbell training in a power rack, just with a few extra levels of safety. On a smith machine, the barbell is fixed—it runs up and down guide rods on either side of the rack. While some argue this means you’re not working those ‘stabiliser muscles’ as much as you would with just a barbell, the smith machine will ensure you’re moving along the correct plane of motion. In short, a smith machine reduces the risk of poor form, which in turn reduces the risk of injury.
Â
A smith machine lets you lift heavy without the need for another person. Safety spotters are often included, and racking the bar is as simple as hooking it onto one of many positions. You can perform all your favourite exercises on a smith machine too, including bench press, squats, lunges, bent over rows and much more.
Â
Some of our smith machines take it a step further, and are enhanced with cable pulley systems and other rack accessories that give you a seemingly endless variety of exercise options. Whichever Body Power smith machine you choose, you can be sure that it’s going to lift your workouts to new levels.
