York (STS) Counterbalanced Smith Machine

York STS Smith Station for Guided Barbell Training

The York STS Counter-Balanced Smith Machine supports squats, bench presses, overhead presses, lunges, and other exercises along a controlled five-degree bar path. Counterbalancing lowers the starting resistance, helping users establish an appropriate training load before adding plates. A simple wrist rotation releases the bar from the catch points, while multiple safety positions let lifters establish a lower stopping point for the selected movement and range of motion.

Linear Bearings on Case-Hardened Guide Shafts

Commercial linear bearings travel along one-and-a-half-inch case-hardened shafts to provide smooth, repeatable bar movement. The walk-through frame keeps the training area accessible for standing exercises and compatible bench placement. Adjustable stops act as range limiters for many users, adding another setup control below the bar. This York Smith Machine gives facilities a fixed-path alternative to unsupported free-bar lifting while preserving a familiar barbell-style setup.

Heavy-Duty STS Construction for Commercial Facilities

The eleven-and-a-half-gauge steel frame is built for repeated training in schools, colleges, athletic centers, government facilities, personal-training studios, and membership gyms. White, silver, and black color choices allow the station to coordinate with different equipment layouts. This guided barbell machine pairs with compatible adjustable benches for flat, incline, and seated pressing exercises. Weight plates and the training bench are purchased separately, allowing each facility to complete the station around its program.
