Avanti Power Smith Machine $949 @ Workout World

50

I bought this power rack/ smith machine hybrid a few months ago when it was on sale for $1500. It's pretty good quality and feels really sturdy. While you can get power racks for a similar price, comparable smith machines don't get much cheaper, and it has cable pulleys as well.

It includes:
- A power rack with safety bars
- A smith machine
- Pec deck station
- Lat pull down/pull up bar
- Low cable pulley

    $1500 originally seems expensive for that equipment IMO and generally I find WOW prices quite high. At this time of year a lot of people are going to be buying new equipment as a "NY resolution." Expect eBay and Gumtree to be flooded with near new equipment in a month or two. By doing this I saved over $800. While more expensive, the Force USA rack is preferrable IMO because it has two overhead pull downs and adjustable j-bars. It's surprising that WOW doesn't list any maximum weights for the machine and pulleys. FYI a lot of the gym equipment is just generic equipment from China that is rebranded (see Alibaba), so look around and compare equipment.

      Yeh I agree 100%.
      I didn't actually buy it for $1500, it was a gift from my partner who doesn't bother too much with bargain hunting.
      But I still think it's pretty good value at $949. I started with a generic all in one cable system off eBay for roughly $450 and this feels light years ahead in terms of quality.

      • Avanti is a reputable brand with actual store fronts, so at least you get a decent level of service. This seems like a pretty good price for a smith machine for the price, although I haven't looked for a while (I recently upgraded my power rack). Admitedly the problem with Gumtree etc is that you need to be patient for listings and also be able to move fast.

        • Yes you are right. Gummy sometime has ppl tricks buyers, promise you a cheap price and hold you in 2-3 hours, meantime try to bargain with others saying "someone else already offered $$$, you have to be more than it", then the first buyer will be noted within the last min and only "sorry mate, it has been sold". What a fk excuse, I do hate such dishonest guy. So must be careful or just fk off their fake polite.

  • I know its heavy and bulky.. but.. Shipping & Handling (Standard Shipping) $610.22. Best to pickup and I see there is one in my city!

    IMO, nowhere is better than "everywhere" gym and not necessary to have a workstation, normally the best way is free weight except you really after huge chunk.

    I'd suggest used, and if its a new setup try and get as much in the purchase as you can for the best deal (rack, bars, weights, weights tree, bench, etc).

    $949 buys you a decent hefty power rack. Smith machines are kinda meh.
