BFSM250B
A guided Smith machine that lets you squat, press and lift heavy on your own — safely, and at a true entry price.
The Best Fitness BFSM250B Smith Machine brings the power of free-weight training together with the safety and control of a guided bar. The barbell runs on a smooth vertical carriage with adjustable catches, so you can push hard on bench presses, squats, shrugs and rows without a spotter — the ideal centrepiece for a budget home gym.
Three Smith machines, three budgets. Here's how our range lines up — from the entry-level Best Fitness to the full-commercial Body-Solid Pro ClubLine.
