We've got another new video up on our YouTube channel, this time breaking down the Body-Solid Series 7 Smith Machine — and there's a lot to like here. If you've ever wondered whether a Smith machine is the right fit for your home gym or light commercial space, this one makes a pretty strong case. The Series 7 runs on linear bearings with 20 catch points and removable safeties, making it one of the safer and more user-friendly options out there for squats, bench press, deadlifts, and more. The half-rack "gun rack" up front adds 14 J-hook placements and 17" spotter arms, with a weight capacity of 1,000 lbs — and the Smith bar itself is rated to 600 lbs — so you're not going to outgrow this thing anytime soon.
What makes the Series 7 really stand out is how much you can build onto it. The optional lat attachment, pec deck, and low pulley with a 210 lb weight stack essentially turn this into a full multi-gym, and the whole setup still fits comfortably on an 8x8 footprint. It's the kind of machine that punches well above its weight in terms of versatility without eating up your whole room. Whether you're outfitting a garage gym, a spare bedroom, or a small training studio, this is a serious option worth considering. Stop by our Tampa Bay showroom to try it out for yourself — and as always, train hard.
