Strength Training Machines

Selectorized

A built-in weight stack and a pin. Change the load in seconds, no plates to buy or store, and a new user can read the stack and go. The SFE selectorized line runs 250 lb stacks at a 1:1 ratio, which means the number on the pin is the load at the pad, and the commercial-grade frames are built for daily shared use. The trade is the ceiling (250 lb) and the price (most are $2,499).

Plate loaded

A lever or sled that takes the Olympic plates you own. Heavier loading, lower machine prices ($765 to $2,499 here) and a simpler mechanism, at the cost of handling plates every set and storing them. A garage gym with a rack already owns plates, so it usually starts plate loaded; a studio or a team room with several users usually goes selectorized.

Most floors end up with both: plate-loaded presses and a rack where the heaviest loading happens, selectorized machines for isolation work and circuits.

• Leg press and hack squat: 45-Degree Leg Press and Hack Squat combo (plate loaded, $2,499), Vertical Leg Press (plate loaded, $1,199), Horizontal Leg Press (selectorized, $2,499), Power Squat and V-Squat (plate loaded, $1,999). Leg press machines.
• Glutes and hips: Plate Loaded Hip Thrust Glute Drive ($1,499), Hip Thrust Glute Selectorized ($2,499), Hip Abductor and Adductor ($2,499). Hip thrust machines.
• Quads and hamstrings: Seated Leg Extension and Leg Curl ($2,499), Leg Extension and Prone Leg Curl combo ($2,499). Leg extension machines.
• Back and trunk: Lat Pulldown and Low Row combo ($2,499), Jungle Gym 4-Station ($3,999), Back and Ab combo ($2,499). Lat pulldown machines.
• Chest and shoulders: Pec Fly and Rear Delt Pec Deck (selectorized, $2,499), Lateral Raise Delt machine (selectorized, $1,999), Plate Loaded Olympic Bench Press ($796), Plate Loaded Decline Bench Press ($765).
• Rack and bench: Commercial Squat Rack with safety bars, storage and pull-up bar ($1,499), Adjustable Olympic Incline Decline Bench ($1,499). Squat racks and benches.

A selectorized chest and shoulder press, a Smith machine, an all-in-one power rack with Smith machine and functional trainer, a standalone functional trainer, an assisted chin-up and dip machine, a bicep and tricep combo, a standing shoulder raise and a chest-supported T-bar row from the same line are being added; ask us if you need one now.

• Stack and ratio. 250 lb at 1:1 across the SFE selectorized line; the Jungle Gym runs 319, 220 and 121 lb stacks. A 2:1 machine halves the load at the handle, so the ratio matters as much as the stack.
• Frame. 11-gauge steel is the commercial standard and is stated on the leg extension and prone curl combo, lateral raise, power squat and both plate-loaded bench press stations; the rest list heavy-duty or commercial-grade steel.
• Adjustments. Start angles, roller and thigh-pad positions, seat height and a stated user height range (4 ft 10 in to 6 ft 10 in on the seated leg extension and curl) decide whether a shared machine fits everyone.
• Footprint. Published on five units so far (Horizontal Leg Press 71 by 44 in, Leg Extension and Prone Curl 65 by 39 in, Back and Ab 65 by 39 in, Decline Bench 65 by 74 in, Jungle Gym 136 by 87 in); ask us for the others. Allow a clear strip beside every stack and on the loading side of every plate-loaded unit.
• Pulleys and pins. Sealed-bearing pulleys and magnetic selector pins are noted on several listings.
• Warranty. 1 year on every SFE machine, handled through us.

• Garage or home gym, about $6,300 plus plates: Commercial Squat Rack, FID Bench, 45-Degree Leg Press and Hack Squat, Seated Leg Extension and Leg Curl. Add the Olympic Bench Press when it returns to stock.
• Personal training studio, about $15,000: Horizontal Leg Press, Hip Thrust Selectorized, Seated Leg Extension and Curl, Lat Pulldown and Low Row, Pec Deck, rack and FID bench. All but the rack reset with a pin.
• Facility floor: the studio list plus the Jungle Gym 4-Station, Hip Abductor and Adductor, Back and Ab, Lateral Raise and the Power Squat, with a curved treadmill and an air bike for conditioning.

Stock on these machines moves; a listing marked in stock ships within about 3 business days, a listing you can add to cart without an in-stock badge is on backorder from the supplier (ask us for the current lead time before you order), and a sold-out listing can be reserved by email.
