FAQ
What is a Smith Machine and how does it differ from other strength training stations?
A Smith Machine is a multifunctional fitness machine specially designed for guided strength training exercises. Compared to traditional strength training stations, it features a guided barbell supported by safety mechanisms such as stoppers and guide rails. This allows you to train safely with heavy weights, even without a training partner. Traditional strength training stations usually combine cable pulleys and pre-installed weight stacks, whereas the Smith Machine uses weight plates for resistance.

It is suitable for beginners and advanced users alike, as it combines guided movements with free training.

What is the difference between the SXM150 and the SXM200?
The main difference between the SXM150 and the SXM200 is the type of weight resistance and the price:
The SXM150 uses weight plates that can be loaded as needed, making it versatile and compact.
The SXM200 also features built-in weight stacks that are moved using cable pulleys. This makes workouts more convenient, but the machine is considerably more expensive.
Both models have weight plate holders for safe storage.

Yes, the SXM150 enables you to train all major muscle groups, including your legs, chest, back and shoulders.
What safety features does the SXM150 have?
The machine has safety components such as J-hooks or safety stoppers on the guided barbell, which can lock the weight at any height to ensure safe training, even without a training partner. This lets you confidently train with heavier weights and push your limits further.
How much space does the SXM150 require?
The Smith Machine measures 199,5 x 163 x 222 cm (LxWxH) and should be set up on a firm, level surface. We recommend leaving at least 2 m of clearance behind the machine and 1 m on each side to ensure safe and comfortable training.
