RX3 Tornado 6-Post Smith Machine Rack [Available 01/19/26]

The RX3 Tornado 6-Post Smith Machine Rack is the perfect all-in-one Rack including our patent-pending Tornado Pivot Arms Functional Trainer, a Built-In Smith Machine, a Fully-enclosed rack with safety spotters, and a half rack in one unit. It comes with our patent-pending Tornado Pivot Arms which offers the ability to more effectively target every muscle group. The Tornado Pivot Arms have 4-way adjsutability so you can position them outwards for a better stretch during chest flys, inwards towards the middle so the weight is directly beneath you for shoulder shrugs, or directly above you for lat pulldowns.

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.

We're also including a fully enclosed power cage that lets you lift more safely and securely with the use of our RX3 flip down safeties, as well as the RX3 Smith Machine for those that want to lift safetly alone or isolate specific muscle groups. 2 Included RX3 J-Cups allows the front uprights to be used as a half rack, or middle uprights to be used as an enclosed power cage. A 6-post configuation also provides 2 extra uprights along with 5 extra crossbars for more places to store attachments.

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. Our RX3 3000 Cable Tower series features dual pulleys on a single column to allow 2:1 or 1:1 weight ratios and our patent-pending Tornado Pivot Arms 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. Our product development team meets biweekly to design innovative attachments and solutions for our RX3 series. Stay tuned for more innovative, multifunctional, and high-quality attachments for the RX3 series!

FAQs

Who is this unit for?
The RX3 Tornado 6-Post Rack is for those that want an all-in-one unit that combines fully enclosed power rack, Smith Machine, Tornado pivot arms functional trainer, and half rack into one space-saving unit. The additional 2 uprights and 5 crossbars provides more storage space for accessories and attachments. The RX3 Tornado Pivot Arms offer greater versatility and more effect muscle targeting since you can position the handles exactly where you need them. Position outwards at up to 81" apart for greater stretch for chest flys, or angle them inwards at shoulder width for deadlifts and shrugs with the weight directly beneath you. Exercises and effectiveness previously impossible with fixed trolleys are now accesible with our Tornado Pivot Arms

What is the benefit of Tornado Pivot Arms over other designs?
You can position them anywhere. Directly above you for lat pulls, directly below you for deadlift, outwards for greater stretch during chest flys, or close together to join them in order to utilize both 200LB weight stacks. The position of the Tornado Pivot Arms allows you to more effectively train your targeted muscle group and you are no longer limited by a fixed trolley on a vertical 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 freeweights, you can push more weight while focused on growing a specific targeted muscle.

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 and our Tornado Arm Connector

For storage options built into the rack, we recommend:

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.

Do I need to bolt this into the ground?
The RX3 Tornado 6-Post Rack does not need to be bolted into the ground, but we always recommend doing so for additional safety and liability

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. To maximize your range of motion (ROM), simply remove the new safety stopper. It works just like a J-cup, allowing you to perform deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts, and other lifts with the same depth and control as free weights. Keep it on when you want extra safety during heavy sets, or remove it when you want full freedom of movement.

I'm worried about my ceiling height to fit this rack, can you help?
There's an option to adjust to our shorter, 86" Rack model by checking the box above the Add To Cart button if your ceiling is lower than 94". If your ceiling is greater than 94", we always recommend fitting the tallest rack available that your ceiling can allow. The pull-up bar can be adjusted downwards anywhere along the upright if you want to have more clearance for your head when doing pullups.

Are rollers coming to the Tornado rack's tornado pivot arms in the future?
Yes. Original Tornado Arm Trolleys will support retrofit rollers by the end of 2025. 
Each Tornado Arm will be able to accept 2 bolt-on retrofit rollers, which improve tolerance and make moving the arm along the upright easier. All Tornado Rack owners will be able to request these retrofit rollers free of charge, and we will ship them out once they are available.

If you prefer to upgrade immediately, we also offer the option to switch to the Tornado Trolley 2.0, which includes 4 built-in rollers per Tornado Arm for the smoothest movement and best tolerance.
You can select this upgrade by checking the « Upgrade to Tornado Trolley 2.0s » option above.

What is the « Upgrade to Tornado Trolley 2.0s » option?
Tornado Trolley 2.0 is our newest trolley design.
It comes with 4 built-in rollers per Tornado Arm, a redesigned, tighter-tolerance housing, and a protection bracket that prevents the rollers from making contact with rack bolts or crossbars. Selecting the « Upgrade to Tornado Trolley 2.0s » replaces the original trolley with the upgraded 2.0 version.
