The RX3 3000 Smith Machine Rack is the perfect all-in-one Rack for a functional trainer, smith machine, and a half rack in one unit. It features the ability for both 2:1 and 1:1 weight ratios per upright, which allows you to start at a lower starting weight, increase in 5LB increments, and utilize the full 2x 200LB stack per side.
Now featuring our updated Smith Machine with improved range of motion, this latest model delivers our most advanced design yet.
At its lowest point, the Smith Machine sits only 6.8" higher than a loaded barbell, so you can perform deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts (RDLs), and other lifts with nearly the same depth and feel as free weights. Something many traditional smith machines can’t match.
We’ve also raised the storage position of the smith bar to 6'6". This added height provides more overhead space, making it easier and more comfortable for taller users during training sessions.
The new removable safety stopper works like a J-cup: keep it on for extra safety during heavy lifts or remove it completely to unlock the full depth and freedom of movement when you want maximum control.
2 Included RX3 J-Cups allows the front uprights to be used as a half rack with your barbell. It's made with 3"x3" uprights, 11-gauge steel, and 1" holes in order to allow the greatest number of attachment options and offer a fully modular setup

RX3 SERIES DESIGN ETHOS
HEAVY DUTY STEEL WITH MODULAR DESIGN
Lift confidently and safely from 3" x 3" 11-gauge steel with 1400+ LB weight capacity. Our fully modular
design features offset, 1" holes with 2" spacing on all 4 sides
IMPROVED RANGE OF MOTION
Our updated RX3 Smith Machine features a new removable safety stopper for a much-improved range of motion. At its lowest point, the Smith bar sits only 6.8" higher than a loaded barbell, letting you perform deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts (RDLs), and other lifts with nearly the same depth and feel as free weights. We’ve also raised the storage position to 6'6", keeping the bar conveniently out of the way and creating more overhead space for a smoother training experience. With this latest design, you get the perfect mix of safety, versatility, and performance in our most advanced Smith Machine yet.
EFFICIENT ACCESSORY MOUNTING
Laser-cut numbering for each of our offset 1" holes with 2" spacing on uprights, cross bars, and
accessories such as spotter arms, provides convenience.
DURABLE COATINGS AND HARDWARE
Our 1" hardware is coated with black e-coat which is more resistant to corrosion, more durable, and looks very sleek because who doesn't love black hardware? All attachments and hardware utilize 1" pins at 2" spacing to create a fully modular and extremely versatile rack.
HIGH-QUALITY FINISHES & DETAILS
Every detail of the RX3 Series is built for durability, precision, and a premium training experience. Chrome uprights in high-contact areas minimize wear and scratches as you adjust trolleys and attachments, while rubber-stoppered chrome plate sleeves p'revent chips and damage often seen on cheaper alternatives. Our RX3 Sandwich J-Cups feature stainless steel logo plates with oversized racking areas for easier, more secure re-racking. To top it off, 95% of RX3 attachments include laser-cut or stainless-steel nameplates—no stickers—delivering a sleek, professional finish that stands out in any gym. Every component has been designed with long-term performance and aesthetics in mind.
Attachment Design
All RX3 attachments are made with a rounded chrome pin making insertion into the uprights easy and frictionless. The rounded chrome pin as well as the uprights will maintain their new appearance, even after years of repeatedly inserting and removing attachments. Other companies use a powder-coated pin that scratches and chips away on both the pin itself as well as the coating on the upright. Further, the inside of all RX3 attachments are lined with protective padding made from durable materials to prevent metal-to-metal contact.
In-House Precision Manufacturing
We've upgraded our manufacturing and the first thing we wanted to offer is the RX3 line. 6-Axis Laser
cutting, CNC Lathe, robotic welding, friction welding, hydraulic servo bending, shot blasting, and
powder coating all in the same facility for a consistent and high-quality product. We've even brought in
a hardware packing machine to blister pack all hardware in-house.
Continuing Innovation
We didn't stop at designing just high quality standard attachments like j-cups and spotter arms; our
cable trolley systems are the best in the market. Starting with our RX3 3000 Single Column Functional
Trainer series which features dual trolleys on a single column to allow 2:1 or 1:1 weight ratios as well
as our upcoming patent-pending Tornado Pivot Arm which will allow even more functional training
capabilities in one unit. Both cable machines also include 2x black, aluminum anodized, knurled handles
that are the best standard handles we've seen in the industry.
FAQs
Who is this unit for?
This unit is for those who want a lat pulldown, low row, and functional trainer that can also perform as a half
rack and smith machine with storage capabilities, all while being able to switch from 2:1 weight ratio to 1:1
weight ratio quickly on the cable system (Click
here for more information on pulley ratios). The 3"x3" uprights
and crossbars also allows for extra modularity and attachment options from a larger ecosystem. Further, because
of our 93" height, this unit is tall enough to accommodate a seated lat pulldown with full range of motion. The
2 handle design makes this unit extremely versatile as you can perform 1-handed exercises as well as 2-handed
exercises in one, space-saving unit. The included smith machine is not just for safety with its self-spotting
capabilities, it's also an excellent tool for totally fatiguing muscles from only one angle, thus tapping into
the same set of motor units on every rep without fail. Without needing to engage multiple muscle groups to
maintain balance and posture like with free weights, you can push more weight while focused on growing a
specific targeted muscle. 2 front posts with j-cups included allows you to rack your barbell for benching and
squatting if you do want to train those stabilizer muscles with more freedom of movement.
What is the benefit of using 2 separate single column functional trainers to make a rack, where now you have 4
handles instead of 2 seen on other designs?
4 handle options gives you the ability to choose from doing 2:1 or 1:1 weight ratio per handle. Most racks
setups have only 1 handle on each side and are either a 2:1 ratio or 1:1 ratio that cannot be changed. For 2:1
ratio racks, you don't have enough weight to do lat pulls, low rows, or belt squats from each upright. For 1:1
ratio racks, it's too heavy to jump 10LBs per handle when doing chest flys and many other exercises, such as
cable Y raises or face pulls. You may also not have the needed cable travel since 1:1 cable travel is half the
distance of 2:1 ratio cable travel. With our design, you can switch from 1:1 ratio by using both handles on each
upright, as well as go to 2:1 ratio by just using 1 of the 2 handles on each upright.

What is the benefit of a smith machine?
The RX3 Smith Machine allows you to prioritize safety, simplicity, gradual strength progression, and better
isolation of targeted muscles compared to free weights. The predictability of the bar's path makes it an
excellent tool for breaking down and totally fatiguing muscles from one angle, thus tapping into the same set of
motor units on every rep without fail. Without needing to engage multiple muscle groups to maintain balance and
posture like with free weights, you can push more weight while focused on growing a specific targeted muscle.
Do I need to bolt this into the ground?
We always recommend doing so for additional safety and liability.
What other attachments are available?
This unit is 3"x3" with 1" holes and 2" spacing, so there's are a wide variety of attachments from us and others
available for this specification. We recommend using the following attachments:
spotter arms, lat pull down seat, adjustable foot plate, FT Cable Output Adapter.
For storage options built into the rack, we recommend:
- Up to 8x plate sleeves
- Up to 4 total shelves consisting of either 42" Plate and Ball
Shelf or 42" Kettlebell and
Dumbbell Shelf.
Our design team meets biweekly and are currently working on a broad range of attachments which will be added here as we
develop more and more.
What is the low point on the RX3 Smith Machine for RDLs or deadlifts?
The RX3 Smith Machine now offers one of the lowest starting points in the industry.
At its lowest point, the Smith Machine sits only 6.8" higher than a loaded barbell, allowing you to perform deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts (RDLs), and other lifts with nearly the same depth and feel as free weights.
