RitFit Multi-Functional Smith Machine
INTRO:
This Multifunctional Smith Machine is a Budget-friendly option that provides a ton of versatility. Just to compare, I recently got a Budget-friendly $400 Shoulder press machine (so about the same price as the RitFit Smith Machine)…but obviously you can do shoulder presses with THIS, as well as a TON MORE exercises. Therefore, I will be selling that shoulder press machine now because I certainly do need it after getting this product.
The RitFit PSR05 Multifunctional Smith Machine provides the following:
Smith machine (with safeties)
Multi-Grip Pull Up bar
Lat Pull Down
A Low Row with easily connectable/disconnectable Foot Plates
Plate Storage
Barbell Storage
Landmine Attachment
and BAND PEGS
And you get ALL THIS for UNDER $500 (as of March 2024) IF you use my unique Promo code. Remember…DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE. Instead, Use my link along with the PROMO CODE: RFDESIGN to knock an additional 12% off the price tag. By clicking on that link before you get to the RitFit website, I will be paid a small commission by RitFit – so you win, I win, we all win.
IS A Smith Machine RIGHT FOR YOU:
Should you get a SMITH MACHINE? Here’s my answer: if you ONLY train for Powerlifting…then no. Probably not. However, if you are like me and you primarily train for HYPERTROPHY (with a Body Building focus), then the answer is YES (if you have the space).
EITHER WAY I do not recommend getting a smith machine INSTEAD of a power rack. You should in almost all cases get a Power Rack in your home gym before getting a Smith Machine.
Especially for squatting, flat bench, and deadlifts — the Power Rack is and will always be KING of the Home Gym. So if you ALREADY have a power rack – THEN and only then consider getting a Smith Machine.
I especially love Smith Machines for
Incline Bench Press
Decline Bench Press
Standing Calf raises
Seated Shoulder Press
Split Squats
Shrugs
Inverted Rows
One Arm Negative Bench Reps
Front Squats
Belt Squats
And Many More!
What’s The Benefit?
A Smith Machine trumps a power rack in one primary way…SET UP TIME.
SET UP TIME IS THE BIGGEST ADVANTAGE TO HAVING A SMITH MACHINE versus having JUST a power rack. Moving around J Hooks, Safeties, and barbells within a Power Rack for each exercise can be time consuming. However, with a Smith Machine – everything is much faster Since everything is already connected. You are only changing heights.
Also – If your Power Rack does not have a multi-grip pullup bar or a Lat pull down, or a low row, or a land mine, this budget-friendly piece of equipment is great option to add to your arsenal.

Critiques:
Since this is a budget-friendly option, is it perfect? Certainly not. In the video. I do offer some critiques (so I won’t repeat them here). However, each critique would increase the price tag – so it would not be fair to expect $5000 features from a $500 product. AS-Is – the value you are getting with this product is exceptional.
