BEST HOME GYM and "SMITH MACHINE" by HOIST, Lower body exercises

mobile website: www.thefitnessfixmontreal.com HOME GYM and Best SMITH MACHINE BY HOIST, Lower body exercises. In the worl of equipment, it is hard to know which machine to buy. I have tried many machines made by different companies. The PTS 1100 dual Smith machine by HOIST is a very interesting machine. It has many functional components and is aesthetically well made. Sadly the pulley system still needs a lot of work as within a year both pulleys broke down because of overuse. Another thing is the lack of fluidity of the pulley itself. The reach of the of the cables are amazing but rubs after 2 feet of extension. The smith machine itself is a great buy as it it compact and affordable. As a home gym, I would recommend buying only the smith machine itself without the pulley system. On the up side HOIST has a version with a lat pull down. One advantage of the PTS1100 would be the ability to perform flawless one legged movements(Squat,Deadlift etc..). Final grade of this machine: Pascale Claveau (kickass Basketball Athlete): 8.5/10 and as for me its a Patrick Gravel : 8/10 due to faulty pulley system Stay tuned as me and Pascale rate CMJ-6000-2 Dual POD by HOIST!
