Smith machines are used in weight training. They consist of a barbell that is constrained to move only vertically upwards and downwards on runners. Behind each runner is a series of slots on which the barbell can be hooked. When using a Smith Machine, the barbell cannot fall forwards, backwards or sideways, and they are therefore considered safer to use than an ordinary barbell. Our range of Smith Machines from Body Solid, Parabody, Marcy & Powerline are particularly popular because they combine advanced features (strong frames, ball bearings, comfortable smooth action) with very good prices, making these Smith Machines particularly good value for money.
