Description
Inflight Counterbalanced Smith Machine for Controlled Barbell Strength:
The Inflight Fitness Smith Machine guides an Olympic-style bar along a seven-degree angled track for squats, presses, lunges, rows, calf raises, and other guided barbell exercises. Linear bearings move along solid steel guide rods for smooth travel, while the counterbalance reduces the bar's starting resistance to just 13 lbs. This combination gives schools, apartments, hotels, training studios, and serious home gyms a structured strength station that supports varied users without requiring them to balance a free bar through every repetition.
Adjustable Safety Stops and Linear Bearings Support Repeatable Setup:
This guided barbell station uses one-inch linear ball bearings and adjustable mechanical safety stops to create a predictable lifting path and selectable lower travel limit. Rotating bar hooks provide multiple racking points throughout the working range, helping users begin and end sets from practical heights for different exercises. The seven-degree guide-rod angle also creates a more natural bar path for common lower- and upper-body Smith movements.
Integrated Plate Storage Keeps the Smith Station Organized:
This Inflight Smith Press includes six frame-mounted Olympic plate horns, keeping frequently used plates near the training area and reducing floor clutter between sets. The 2 x 4-inch flat-oval frame uses 11- and 12-gauge steel for a substantial light-commercial build, while the open front allows compatible benches to be positioned for flat, incline, and seated pressing. The result is a versatile guided lifting station that combines bar control, safety-stop adjustability, and onboard storage within one strength footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions:
- Does the Inflight Fitness Smith Machine ship free? Yes. Gtech Fitness includes free shipping on this Inflight Smith system within the contiguous United States, and it typically ships via freight delivery to better protect the frame and guide rods in transit.
- What does the 13 lb starting bar weight mean? The bar is counterbalanced so its effective starting resistance is approximately 13 lbs before Olympic plates are added. This makes the guided bar approachable for warmups, developing users, and lighter training loads. If you still need plates, you can pair this unit with separate gym weight plates that match your facility's strength levels and budget.
- Why is the bar path angled seven degrees? Inflight angles the solid steel guide rods seven degrees to create a more natural movement path for common Smith-machine exercises such as squats and presses. The slight incline helps many users keep joints in a comfortable alignment compared to a perfectly vertical path.
- How do the safety stops work? The adjustable mechanical stops let users set a lower travel limit before beginning a set, providing a repeatable stopping position for different exercises and bench setups. Once set, the bar will contact these stops before it travels too low, adding an extra layer of protection if a lift cannot be completed.
- How much space should I reserve for the Smith machine? The assembled dimensions are approximately 50 inches wide, 78.2 inches long, and 84 inches high. Leave additional working room around the unit for safe plate loading, user movement, and positioning any bench inside the frame, plus clearance for the bar to travel freely.
