This machine is awesome. The smith machine for safe at home benching is the main reason I purchased this unit. The smith machine is very smooth, and it doesn't bind like some others are known to. The alluminum pulleys are exceptionally smooth as well. It is incredibly stable and well built. It was easy to assemble and I am very pleased with this purchase. For a man of my means this was a significant investment into myself, and if I could afford it, I would have ordered one with weight stacks. ( No big deal I have enough bumper plates to load it up ) It comes with a ton of accessories though for a myriad of exercises. I would highly recommend this product to anyone. If you're in the market, or just considering one, I suggest you get this one, because I regret not getting one sooner. Read more

I have had the gym for about 1 year now. This is a true honest review. I heard it was alittle complicated to put together, my husband and father In law put it together in 4-5 hours with the help of power tools. Some instructions were not quite clear. Overall wasn’t too bad because I didn’t have to put together and seems very sturdy! I’m 5’1 and everything is perfect height for me. If you are taller like 6ft and up not sure this would be recommended for you. It did come with everything described. This is affordable, fits nicely in small areas, workouts are effective. I will show pictures for reference. Read more

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I chose this product because it seemed to be the best power rack option for something I could order on Amazon and get quickly as I had only 3 months to kick my body into hyper gear for an upcoming trip. I looked at the more expensive and allegedly better systems online but when I tried to build the system I wanted, they were often out of stock and it was going to take 8 weeks to get here. So, I chose the RitFit power cage with plate loaded cable system. Even though I read some critics online say it was not sturdy enough or other problems; I decided to order it because I needed something quickly. And I have to state that I could not be happier. I have been a weightlifter for health most of my adult life; and I can say that unless you are a pro body builder or if you want to squat and bench over 250 pounds then this Rit Fit system is all you need. I did choose the 2.0 with cable pullies that have the aluminum fittings and they work great. The only thing that was a bit tricky to assemble waere the cables,but I figured it out. I went slow and took 5 hours plus there are some YouTube videos that walk you through it too. My stuff came in 3 boxes. 2 boxes came a first but I had read online that sometimes the boxes come spaced apart and so I waited and sure enough the last box came 3 days later. Now granted I am in my 60's but I do bench, military, squats, curls, incline bench items, triceps extensions from every angle imaginable and this RitFit cable system works great. There is no stick in the cables when you pull them, they work very smoothly and all the attachments work great as well. The handles have knurling that is fine. The pull up bar does not have knurling but it has every angle one can normally use. The bottom line for me is that even though I watched reviews from experts online that would say that RitFit was "acceptable" but cheap, they would say if you could afford the better systems (which are literally 4 times the cost) then they said you should go with the more expensive one. However, unless you are pro lifter I would say that this Rit Fit system is overly adequate for 95% of the people who workout at home. The Smith Machine is smooth and even; the cables work as good as the ones I use at the commercial gym. It has plenty of storage on it to hold all your weights. RitFit has improves the system so you can have big plates on the pully and big plates on the Smith machine and they clear each other. It used to be that you could not have large plates on the Smith and on the pullies because they would run into each other in the middle. But I can tell that RitFit is listening to critics and making improvements. I truly believe if you think you are not in the top 5% of the weight-lifting workout world and are average to moderately skilled at lifting this product would be perfect for you. Read more

BEWARE - Amazon only allows for one tracking number to get submitted by the supplier, however they ship the unit in three different shipments which will potentially likely arrive on different days. Apparently it's a limitation on Amazon's side. On the flip side, Ritfit's customer support was amazing. They got back to me quickly, and were super communicative. I recommend reaching out to them directly for all the tracking info if you get the system, which I highly recommend. I did a ton of research beforehand, and I'm so glad I settled on Ritfit. I got the M1 Pro with the smith machine attachment. Building it was very simple. The instructions were clear, and the hardware was organized by each step of the build. Super helpful! Additionally, there's an awesome video on youtube that walks you through the build that Ritfit put out. Just search Ritfit M1 PRO assembly on youtube. Regarding the system, it's perfect, and I'm very impressed. It showed up in great packaging, the quality of the parts are top notch, and since assembling it, I've tried every single element of the system to ensure there's no issues. It works as expected and I couldn't be happier! It's a solid piece of machinery, you can tell they really put the time and effort into its design and made sure the parts of high quality. I'm no professional bodybuilder, but lifting is a passion of mine, and has been for decades. I've kinda always had really entry level gear but this is next level. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be so dang good, but I feel extremely inspired by its high quality. Lastly, this was a big purchase for me, and I was really tempted by some of the other brands who market slightly cheaper prices (specifically the Mikolo). However, I saw some reviews that compared the two systems, and I'm so glad I went with Ritfit. I've never had or used a Mikolo system so I don't want to disparage them necessarily, but I will say that I'm very grateful I went with this. Look up comparison vids for yourself. If you're on the fence like I was, get this one! Read more

I’ve been using the RitFit M1 cage and Smith machine since August, so I’ve had a solid three months of consistent weekly strength training with it. It arrives in three large boxes: one for the Smith machine and two for the power cage. Assembly isn’t difficult piece by piece, and I was able to put it together alone without much trouble. During assembly I ran into an issue at step 3: one of the plate carriage plugs was impacted and broken right out of the box. Because of that, the guide bar couldn’t pass through since the opening was misaligned. After checking all the parts, I also found both J-hook plastic side pieces were cracked. These were factory issues since they were packaged deep inside the components. I reached out to RitFit with photos, and their customer service responded quickly. They sent replacement plugs and J-hook pieces right away, and four days later I was able to continue assembly without any further issues. The fast support definitely made the hiccup easier to overlook. Once assembled, the machine has been excellent. We use the rack for around 90% of our workouts, which has replaced a lot of our dumbbell work: curls, shoulder presses, various rows, triceps, and more. The Smith machine itself feels great to use. The glide is smooth, and loading more weight still feels balanced and controlled. The built-in storage in the back for the barbell and plates is convenient, but you do need to plan for some extra space behind the cage for easy access and fit. That’s something I didn’t account for at first, but it worked out. The cable crossover system is one of my favorite parts. The pulleys adjust quickly up or down and move smoothly during all the typical exercises: crossovers, chest work, rows, triceps, and more. One thing we did notice at the lowest peg is that when doing leg work with ankle attachments, you really need something to step on to unhook your ankles. The rack comes with one foot holder that works perfectly for that, but if two people are doing leg work on both sides at the same time, only one person has access to that step. The landmine attachment is another highlight. It locks the barbell securely into place, unlike my previous machine where the bar just slid in and could pop right out. This one feels much safer and more stable during landmine presses, rows, and rotations. The only drawback we’ve found is for my wife, who is 5'2". For hip thrusts and glute bridges, the Smith machine springs sit in the way since they’re always attached. She can’t get low enough without elevating herself using blocks. Aside from that very specific issue, it’s been a great addition to our home gym. Overall, it’s a powerful, versatile machine with excellent build quality, smooth functionality, thoughtful attachments, and responsive customer service. It has completely upgraded our home workouts.
