RitFit M1 & M1 Pro Smith Machine with Cable Crossover System, Multi-Function Squat Rack Power Cage for Home Gym, Power Rack and Packages

Husband's review: I absolutely LOVE this machine! I own the PPC02 and its awesome. That said I sure wished I got the one with cables. FFW a year later and I saw this beast on sale around XMas and I pulled the trigger. I researched the Mikolo M4 as well as basically any and all other related cages and this one had way better youtube reviews as well as it's a company that I know and trust. Their customer service is excellent. Any and all issues I've ever had (very few) were handled promptly and in a friendly manner to my absolute satisfaction. Some people complained but my experience has been great. They're busy so you don't get an immediate reply but seriously email response day of or next day is awesome! And they care about their customers. It's very clear. If you're on the fence between this and the competitors I strongly suggest watching some comparison videos. It punches above its' weight on the price front. It's more stable. It's a better machine than the others at this price point and some above it. This thing is easy to build, it took me less time than it did to build my other cage that has far less features. It's well built. It's sturdy. One issue i had with my previous cage was it wobbled when doing certain exercises. Nothing unsafe but it was annoying. It LOOKS amazing! I sometimes just go in the garage and stare at it. Not kidding. the cables are pretty smooth (I didn't get the 2.0 so i don't have aluminum cables but I'm ordering them when they're in stock). Spend the extra hundred and get the aluminum. The vinyl are solid, no complaints. But it's worth it to get the aluminum from what others say. The smith is awesome! Didn't realize I'd like it so much as I feel like smiths are more for beginners but i was wrong. Great for learning new movements, working on form, etc. J hooks and spotter arms are well made. Smith bar works well. Pulleys are pretty smooth (will update when I get aluminum). Pull up bar is dope. The Landmine attachment is great. And the cable sliders work very well. May need to play around with the tightness of the knob but you'll get it fast. Don't go too tight or you'll scratch it up. And the storage hooks with the RitFit face plate bring it full circle. And it is sturdy. I need to stress that. I don't even have it bolted in and I've put a lot of weight on the spotter arms. It stays in place. I also have lever arms that used to rock my old cage even weighted down. On this not a chance. It may rock a tiny bit but it stays firmly footed. Overall its one of the best investments I've ever made. I'm excited to work out. I can do everything with it. It's beaitufil and the customer service is excellent. Also watch our for their Challenges! I just got a $600 gift card for their 21 Day Challenge! How many companies do that for their customers! Their FB page is a beautiful community as well. God Bless ya RitFit! Happy Customer!

I’ve been using the RitFit M1 cage and Smith machine since August, so I’ve had a solid three months of consistent weekly strength training with it. It arrives in three large boxes: one for the Smith machine and two for the power cage. Assembly isn’t difficult piece by piece, and I was able to put it together alone without much trouble. During assembly I ran into an issue at step 3: one of the plate carriage plugs was impacted and broken right out of the box. Because of that, the guide bar couldn’t pass through since the opening was misaligned. After checking all the parts, I also found both J-hook plastic side pieces were cracked. These were factory issues since they were packaged deep inside the components. I reached out to RitFit with photos, and their customer service responded quickly. They sent replacement plugs and J-hook pieces right away, and four days later I was able to continue assembly without any further issues. The fast support definitely made the hiccup easier to overlook. Once assembled, the machine has been excellent. We use the rack for around 90% of our workouts, which has replaced a lot of our dumbbell work: curls, shoulder presses, various rows, triceps, and more. The Smith machine itself feels great to use. The glide is smooth, and loading more weight still feels balanced and controlled. The built-in storage in the back for the barbell and plates is convenient, but you do need to plan for some extra space behind the cage for easy access and fit. That’s something I didn’t account for at first, but it worked out. The cable crossover system is one of my favorite parts. The pulleys adjust quickly up or down and move smoothly during all the typical exercises: crossovers, chest work, rows, triceps, and more. One thing we did notice at the lowest peg is that when doing leg work with ankle attachments, you really need something to step on to unhook your ankles. The rack comes with one foot holder that works perfectly for that, but if two people are doing leg work on both sides at the same time, only one person has access to that step. The landmine attachment is another highlight. It locks the barbell securely into place, unlike my previous machine where the bar just slid in and could pop right out. This one feels much safer and more stable during landmine presses, rows, and rotations. The only drawback we’ve found is for my wife, who is 5'2". For hip thrusts and glute bridges, the Smith machine springs sit in the way since they’re always attached. She can’t get low enough without elevating herself using blocks. Aside from that very specific issue, it’s been a great addition to our home gym. Overall, it’s a powerful, versatile machine with excellent build quality, smooth functionality, thoughtful attachments, and responsive customer service. It has completely upgraded our home workouts.

If you are on the fence about buying this, just do it. I work long hours and the last thing I want to do is sit in more traffic and go to a gym where I may have to wait/alter my workouts if there is to many people etc. This rack has literally everything you could need to get your home gym started. The instructions are very simple, and the bolts/screws were clearly labeled by which steps they belonged in and came with tools. I was able to fully assemble this machine by myself in my garage in a few hours, but of course if you have help it'll be easier. The attachments that come with it are decent and can be used for a multitude of workouts. I did see some reviews that had complaints about the smith machine being uneven, but I did not experience anything like this. My smith bar is perfect and works great for Squats, Bench, rows. Etc. The cables are absolutely perfect, however the pulley ratio changes the weight a bit and you'll have to play around with it to find what works for you. Overall the Rack can hold all the weight I have thrown at it so far, its sturdy and stable and doesn't take up a ton of space. I am 5'10 and have no issues with the smith bottoming out, for the pull-up bar I do need to bend my legs but that's nothing. The only thing I would recommend, is if you can afford it buy the cable weight stack as constantly changing the plates for cables can get tedious and annoying.

I have had the gym for about 1 year now. This is a true honest review. I heard it was alittle complicated to put together, my husband and father In law put it together in 4-5 hours with the help of power tools. Some instructions were not quite clear. Overall wasn’t too bad because I didn’t have to put together and seems very sturdy! I’m 5’1 and everything is perfect height for me. If you are taller like 6ft and up not sure this would be recommended for you. It did come with everything described. This is affordable, fits nicely in small areas, workouts are effective. I will show pictures for reference.

I purchased the RitFit M1 Smith Machine with Cable Crossover System as a gift for my husband, and overall we are very happy with the quality and versatility of this home gym setup. It has become a cornerstone of his workout routine, and the range of exercises it supports makes it feel like a complete gym in one unit. First, a heads-up on assembly: this unit is definitely a two-person project. It took both of us working together several hours to get everything put together, and following the instructions carefully was essential. The process was detailed and sometimes time-consuming, but nothing was missing and all of the parts fit as expected. If you plan to install this yourself, set aside enough time and make sure you have a helper—you’ll want the extra set of hands for safety and efficiency. Once fully assembled, the machine feels solid and stable, and we haven’t noticed any wobble or instability, even with heavier lifts. The Smith bar runs smoothly, and the cable crossover system adds a lot of functional training versatility that my husband really appreciates. He’s been using it for squats, bench press, cable crossovers, and various accessory movements, and it holds up well under regular use. The design also includes thoughtful touches like adjustable safeties and multiple attachment options, which help make workouts both safer and more customizable. The finished build looks impressive and professional, and it occupies our space without feeling bulky or awkward. The RitFit M1 is a highly functional and sturdy home gym solution. The assembly requires patience and two people, but the end result is worth it. For anyone serious about strength training at home, this machine offers excellent value and performance. We would recommend it to others looking to upgrade their home gym setup.
