These cables are the best, they are just as smooth as the cables in commercial gyms, and very versatile, I absolutely loves these.
Excellent compact machine. I am six feet and can achieve full range of motion. I recommend this for any home gym owner who doesn’t have room for a full sized leg press.
For those seeking professional-grade home gym equipment without the high cost of gym memberships, Snode delivers. Its frame is constructed with incredibly thick 11-gauge steel, making it exceptionally sturdy and stable under heavy load. As a 170-pound user, I confidently bench press over 100 pounds on both flat and incline settings. The bench also easily handles my hip thrusts with 185 pounds, with zero wobble or instability.
Great upgrade to the home gym from the deep dish iron plates I've been using most of my life. Little to no lingering rubber smell and no more clanging echoing throughout the house!
As a PT, I’ve been dreaming of having a setup like this right in my garage — and the Snode multifunctional Smith machine did not disappoint! Smooth pulleys, rock-solid frame, and endless exercise options. It’s literally a full gym in one compact machine. Total game changer! ✨😍
P.S. Cannot wait for the weights to arrive as well!!!
I really like the adjustable weights. They don’t take up much room but serve my purpose and y partner’s purposes. I can feel the difference only after a couple of weeks.
After receiving the dumbbells, I realized I really needed these magnets to help me break through my limits, and my wife could also use them for light weight training.
Works super well! Not cheaply made and gets a good ab burn.
No issues with the quality so far. Unit is strong and solid. Using it 4-5x/wk and doing a wide variety of exercises makes a hypertrophy macro cycle more tolerable. Mix in dumbbells, and it's an endless variety. I never get bored or hit plateaus quickly. Recommend buying micro weights for the stacks and for the olympics. If your goal is strength or hypertrophy, those 1.25 lbs magnets(come with the dumbbells) make progressive overload possible. One small complaint—I wish the numbers on the front uprights were easier to see when I’m adjusting hooks or setting up for an exercise.
The space-saving design is its best feature. I can do my heavy bench presses and incline work, then without moving anything, I can use the built-in cables for tricep pushdowns, lat pulldowns, and face pulls. When I'm done, my dumbbells slide perfectly into the storage trays underneath the bench. It keeps my small garage organized and looking clean, which my wife absolutely loves. Highly recommended if you're short on space!
Should have bought this a long time ago.
Knurling is perfectly grippy without being annoying/paiful. I can do heavy deadlifts with no need to chalk. With my old bar I needed chalk even when pulling with a hook grip.
Great quality on this cast iron rack, and set at the perfect step-in design and lifting weights without hurt my back.
Had an issue with one of my dumbbells and customer service was there to help with this issue. Diana was very helpful and proceeded to get me a replacement for said dumbbell.
Grade-A equipment! So happy with my purchase.
I've had my snode rack for about 2 weeks. Took me about 3½ hours to build which was easy. My workout partner ( 5 year old daughter) had to test everything out as soon as it was built, she loved the seated rows and the leg press. After 2 weeks of workouts my favorites ate the cross body pulleys and the leg press.
This is all you need to get it done! The instruction video to assemble is easy to follow. The barbell and adjustable cables provides every exercise I need to maximize my gains. A solid and reliable piece of equipment for any home gym.
Love this machine, and Snodes customer service is amazing!
So glad I pulled the trigger on this. After a month of use, it's clear this was a fantastic investment for my space. The construction is rock-solid, and the variety of attachments means I get a full-body workout with no extra cost.
I did upgrade to the aluminum wheels (personal preference), but the stock plastic ones seemed totally fine and durable. My only very minor gripe is that the leg press sled can sometimes catch on the guide bar, making it a bit tricky to use smoothly. But that's a small thing compared to how much this machine exceeds my expectations overall. 5 stars, highly recommend!
It’s my first big investment in a home gym, and it feels worth every penny so far. I am really enjoying smith machine as it feels safer than barbell and free weights. Adjustable bench is awesome! It doesn't wiggle at all and the support from the padding is perfect, the built-in wheels that make moving it in and out of the Smith machine a breeze. So convenient!
All in all, this is a fantastic piece of gym equipment and a great choice for anyone looking to get the most out of their home gym space.
Loving the smoothness of this machine, and how much value you get for the money!
For me…the selection came down to its versatility and the value for the money. It is very well built and very sturdy. It has more then enough weight to do any workout I can throw at it. Plenty of attachments allow any imaginable cable exercise. I do need to say that any exercise with the cables is “professional grade”…extremely smooth (I just added the aluminum pulleys) and solid…I Love it! For anyone who is looking for the best all in one functional trainer…look no further…this is it!
The machine was super easy to put together. All holes lined up perfectly. Machine has been great for beginners with room to grow. All in all a solid machine a great price point.
The machine makes it easy with the double cable stacks with 1:1 and 2:1 pulley ratio to have multiple people working at once. The cables are smooth, adjustments are easy, and the quality is 2nd to none. Great product that has a ton of options for different exercises. Definitely recommend!
