RitFit M1 Pro Smith Machine Cable Crossover Power Cage Home Gym

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I chose this product because it seemed to be the best power rack option for something I could order on Amazon and get quickly as I had only 3 months to kick my body into hyper gear for an upcoming trip. I looked at the more expensive and allegedly better systems online but when I tried to build the system I wanted, they were often out of stock and it was going to take 8 weeks to get here. So, I chose the RitFit power cage with plate loaded cable system. Even though I read some critics online say it was not sturdy enough or other problems; I decided to order it because I needed something quickly. And I have to state that I could not be happier. I have been a weightlifter for health most of my adult life; and I can say that unless you are a pro body builder or if you want to squat and bench over 250 pounds then this Rit Fit system is all you need. I did choose the 2.0 with cable pullies that have the aluminum fittings and they work great. The only thing that was a bit tricky to assemble waere the cables,but I figured it out. I went slow and took 5 hours plus there are some YouTube videos that walk you through it too. My stuff came in 3 boxes. 2 boxes came a first but I had read online that sometimes the boxes come spaced apart and so I waited and sure enough the last box came 3 days later. Now granted I am in my 60's but I do bench, military, squats, curls, incline bench items, triceps extensions from every angle imaginable and this RitFit cable system works great. There is no stick in the cables when you pull them, they work very smoothly and all the attachments work great as well. The handles have knurling that is fine. The pull up bar does not have knurling but it has every angle one can normally use. The bottom line for me is that even though I watched reviews from experts online that would say that RitFit was "acceptable" but cheap, they would say if you could afford the better systems (which are literally 4 times the cost) then they said you should go with the more expensive one. However, unless you are pro lifter I would say that this Rit Fit system is overly adequate for 95% of the people who workout at home. The Smith Machine is smooth and even; the cables work as good as the ones I use at the commercial gym. It has plenty of storage on it to hold all your weights. RitFit has improves the system so you can have big plates on the pully and big plates on the Smith machine and they clear each other. It used to be that you could not have large plates on the Smith and on the pullies because they would run into each other in the middle. But I can tell that RitFit is listening to critics and making improvements. I truly believe if you think you are not in the top 5% of the weight-lifting workout world and are average to moderately skilled at lifting this product would be perfect for you.

I’m leaving the original review for transparency. However RitFit customer service was very prompt when addressing my issues. They went above and beyond to resolve the issues I had without hesitation. I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again. Been using the machine for a couple of weeks now daily without any issues. ************Original Review I understand this is workout equipment and will withstand some abuse but a product shouldn’t be delivered in this way. I attached several photos as examples and there are some I didn’t include. Parts of the machine came damaged. The red uprights have chips and rash marks in various spots. RitFit logo board is dented in several places. The dip bars are marred and bent in different directions, may not be able to use them. The safety bars are very difficult to put on the bar due to the fabric backing peeling away and causing friction. One pulley bracket was bent out of shape and had to be bent back and formed correctly and is still a little tight. The weight holders for the cable system were bent had to be reshaped. No extra hardware was provided and some of the nuts did not tighten, replacements had to be purchased. I checked most of the weld points and most seem okay. A couple seem a little compromised but only time will tell. Overall it is disappointing for it to be delivered a product in this condition. For the money, the quality of the metal, pulleys, cables, and attachments seems okay. The rack seems pretty stable, wobbles a smidge when not in use but when weight is applied it holds great with minimal wobble. They do include concrete expansion anchors for added stability if needed. We have used it once since assembly and it provides a decent variety of workouts on a singular machine. If it wasn’t work the cosmetic defects and some of the questionable welds it would be a solid 4/5 for the money.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently purchased the RitFit M1, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with my experience! The build quality is fantastic — sturdy, well-designed, and perfect for home workouts. It’s easy to assemble and feels very durable, even with frequent use. What really stands out is the smooth performance and versatility. The M1 handles it all with ease. The functionality and stability it provides have truly taken my workouts to the next level! On top of the great product, the customer service I received was top-notch — responsive, helpful, and genuinely focused on making sure I was happy with my purchase. Overall, highly recommend the RitFit M1 to anyone looking to upgrade their home gym setup. Great product and even better experience! 💪 ⸻ If you want, I can tailor it further (e.g., for Amazon, Google Reviews, Yelp, etc.).

Solid machine. Hard to beat commercial products but this definitely meets every need and expectation for a home gym! Cables are smooth and whole assembly feels sturdy! Takes a little while to assemble so be patient!

The Power rack and smith machine are great. Easy to put together by myself. The problem is I am missing attachments. I did not get the dip bars, the landline attachment, and I am missing a plate holder. I received 3 boxes, 2 by FedEx on time and 1 by UPS like 4 days later. One of the boxes from FedEx was really beat up that ended up scratching many of the contents. One of the J-Hooks were broken. RitFit is not the seller because I reached out and they are not helping me get the missing/damaged parts.

Great machine. Highly recommend putting it together a little loose first that way when you finish everything you can tighten everything to square. Made a huge difference with the smith machine. The only reason why I gave it a 4 star was because I didn't like the fact that I spent as much as I did and I had so many parts scratch and we aren't talking little scratches which was a surprise since it was packaged so well. Also there was certain instructions that could have been elaborated a little better or added because it didn't even say to attach certain things. If it wasn't for me taking everything out of the box first and reviewing everything I would have been really lost and thought I was missing pieces or was a incomplete setup. Other than that, I'm really impressed with the design and structure of the entire thing. If you bring the safety bars on the smith machine as high as possible, and you are 5'10" or shorter, you are going to fit perfectly underneath lol. Super easy to use and very functional.

Coming back after exactly a year! Extremely pleased with the quality. Did have some issues with the smith machine functionality at first and had to watch a few YouTube videos on how to fix the issue but nothing worth returning it. Over all I would buy it again.

Update: Finally received the 3rd package a week after the first 2 which is on FedEx. I was able to assemble the machine. Based on the final product I've updated this from 1 to 3 stars. NOTE: The bench shown in the last photo is not part of the unit I purchased. The Good: All the parts were included, assembly was for the most part straight forward, and the machine works well enough for my needs. I like the design, the fact that all the nuts and bolts use a 17mm wrench/socket was nice. Assembly took roughly 3 hours using a 1/4" drive impact and wrench. The Bad: If you are looking for a show piece - this isn't for you. The single layer of thin bubble wrap the components are ahipped in does little to prevent scratching of the parts during shipment. Virtually every painted part of this machine was scratched, chipped, or missing paint along with one of the plastic knobs being cracked in half. The welds are not the cleanest but likley on par for the price point. RitFit customer service did offer a $15 refund and 20 lb dumbell set due to the issues with the lost package - I'll see if either are actually provided. Original Review -Horrible experience so far. Received 2 of the 3 packages, have been communicating with RitFit, Amazon, and Fedex for the past 6 days - not one of them have been helpful in determining where the 3rd package is or when it will be delivered. Amazon and RitFit have 100% of my money and I have 2/3 of the home gym. While FedEx is the one who appears to have lost the 3rd package, RitFit chose who handles their shipping and all I have gotten from them and FedEx is to wait. Based on my expereince so far, I would not recommend purchasing from them - it appears to be a black hole that will ultimately end with me filing a dispute through my CC company.
