I’m a 43-year-old female (127 lbs, 5’1”) and purchased this smith machine set back in July for my home gym. I wasn’t able to set it up right away since I needed to update my room first, but once ready, my brother assembled it for me in about 3 hours with no issues at all. Now that I’ve officially started using it, I can say it’s a fantastic setup for a home gym. Everything works smoothly, and I love being able to work out in the comfort of my own space without dealing with the usual crowds or wait times at a busy gym. The only small drawback for me is the pull-up bar — I would have preferred it to extend a bit further outward rather than being right over the smith bar. That’s just a personal preference though, and it doesn’t take away from the overall quality. Overall, this machine is perfect for my needs and I’m very happy with my purchase! Read more

Only came with 1 of the 2 boxes needed to build it, since its during the government shutdown still im requesting a refund since no one in the customer service department is working and it will be easier, would give 5/5 if the full product was delivered, the power rack is on the floor half the peices anyway that I received. Update: the 2nd box arrived 2 days later and all the parts are now there and its a solid machine 💪 Read more

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. Read more

I rarely write reviews, but this is such an exceptional value, I felt I must. I used to have a complete gym in my home with thousands of dollars worth of equipment. However, my wife and I went on the road for a few years and I switched to body weight exercises. I am now settled and wanted to lift some weights safely, so I started to look at Smith machines as a safe way to get back to lifting. The RitFit stood out, mostly because it was half the price of most of the competition. Also, the manufacturer sells a lot of other more expensive weight equipment and they have a web site, so it seemed like a safe bet. I had some shipping issues, which was not the company's fault. I was able to call them directly from the number on the web site, they tracked my order and followed up with me after to make sure my issue was resolved. Excellent response if somewhat of a long wait on the phone. The machine arrived in three separate boxes a few days apart, one long heavy, one short heavy, and one with just the locking safety collars. The instructions were very good except that you need to put all the bottom upward facing bolts in place before adding any of the upright pieces. Also, make sure the long stainless steel bars have the threaded end facing up. The machine itself is is very well made and sturdy for the price. I have to agree with one of the online reviews on You Tube. This is the perfect machine for people that bench less that 300 lbs. That would be most of us. If you bench heavy, you would not be considering this machine anyhow. The Smith machine part is smooth and it is easy to catch the bar. The pull down bar and lat pull are both extremely smooth. I have been using this for a month now and have no complaints. It is sturdy and will last me for years. My max bench is 200 lbs and this is very stable. If you want more stability for some reason RitFit includes expansion bolts that you can put into a concrete floor for for absolute stability. Unless you lift heavy or have specific needs this machine does not provide, this FitRit Smith machine for about $400 dollars is a steal!! There was one other machine on Amazon for about $100 more, but they had no web site, no contact info and didn't sell other weight equipment. The next closest machine after that was close to $1000. For most people this is a GREAT buy. Also, keep in mind you will need to get separate weights and a bench, so still not cheap, but great if you want a home gym that you can use without a partner and still be safe. Read more

This company is fantastic. Fed ex lost one of the 2 packages and delivered it to the wrong CITY and refused to do anything about it. Despite it not being their fault this company was quick to resend the missing box and they were great to communicate with. Great affordable smith machine. My husband says that he loves how compact it is so that it fits well in our gym. Read more
