A solution to avoid space for serious home training

Inspire FT2 Pro Smith feature trainers combine a selected Smith machine with a complete cable system in a compact unit. If you want to create a comprehensive home gym without filling the entire room with equipment, this all-in-one machine offers professional-grade training in just 64-inch x 52-inch floor space.

Fitness at home, we have tested and compared hundreds of home gym solutions. The unique combination of FT2 Pro is a unique combination of Smith Bar functionality, Six Berliri cable system and space efficient design. Here’s what you need to know about this innovative home training solution.

Key Features and Designs

Selective Smith Bar System

The FT2 Pro has Inspire’s selection of Smith Bar, the first Smith bar of this kind. Unlike traditional Smith machines that require Olympic boards, the system uses an integrated weight stack with a simple needle selector. The opposite balanced rod can provide smooth, controlled motion with a resistance of up to 330 pounds through a 2:1 pulley ratio.

The guided bar path makes it ideal for solo training and has adjustable safety stations at multiple heights. Whether it’s performing squats, bench presses, rows, or shoulders, the Smith system provides stability and security without having to view points.

Six-pink cable configuration

Outside the Smith Bar, the FT2 Pro also includes a comprehensive cable system with six pulleys: two uppers, two lower slides, and an innovative adjustable mid-hole with six positions. This configuration allows hundreds of exercises to move from traditional lat pull-down to functional rotation.

The adjustable middle room with one-handed hands is particularly noteworthy – it moves quickly between exercises such as rows, belt squats and core work. Smooth cable action and multiple accessories make it as versatile as having multiple cable machines.

Walk-in design and footprint

The FT2 Pro fits comfortably in most home gyms at 64-inch wide x 52-inch deep x 83-inch (89-inch) height. The walk-in design provides easy access to all stations without the need for additional customs clearance around the machine. This efficiency allows you to have a full gym setup in a single garage or spare room.

The integrated weight stack eliminates the need for board storage, and the built-in attachment hooks make all attachments organized. Despite weighing nearly 880 pounds, the weight distribution is designed to be used on standard residential floors with proper support.

Performance and functionality

Strength training ability

The Smith Bar system specializes in compound exercise and progressive overload training. The 165-pound weight stack (upgradable) provides enough resistance for most users, and the 2:1 ratio effectively doubles it to 330 pounds. Smooth linear bearings ensure consistent resistance throughout the entire range of motion.

Safety features include multiple bar fishing locations and adjustable safety stations. The balanced rod reduces the starting weight, allowing beginners to use it while still being challenging for experienced weightlifters.

Cable exercise variety

The versatility of the cable system matches commercial fitness equipment. Upper pulley handle lat style pull-down, tricep push-ups and cable crossover. Lower pulleys allow for line, curls and leg exercises. Adjustable middleman adds unique training options that are not found in most family units.

The cable resistance feels smooth and consistent thanks to high-quality pulleys and proper cable routing. The system maintains tension throughout the movement, providing effective resistance to strength and functional training.

Other training functions

The integrated multi-enclosed pull rod accommodates wide, narrow and neutral grips, plus a climbing fixture rod for grip training. These added training options do not require additional equipment or space.

The machine also has compatibility with the Inspire FID7 Pro table and leg attachment system, allowing users to leverage the weight stack for leg expansion and curls – features often require a separate machine.

• strength: No electrical connection required

Placement Tips

The FT2 Pro is best with 2-3 feet of clearance between the front and sides, moving comfortably during exercise. When the walk-in design minimizes space requirements, consider traffic flow and ventilation when choosing placement. Many users have successfully installed them in garage bay, basement or spare bedroom.

Value Proposition

Cost Analysis

Space and cost savings become clear when comparing the FT2 Pro to purchase a separate Smith machine, cable system and pull-up station. Comparable settings with individual parts need to be 3-4 times the floor space and may require higher costs when it comes to features in quality equipment.

Lifetime warranty for frames and parts adds long-term value and eliminates concerns about the cost of replacement. For those who are serious home training, this represents a one-time investment that replaces ongoing gym membership.

Who should consider FT2 Pro

This machine is suitable for those who want a comprehensive strength training feature without multiple devices. This is ideal for those who refuse to compromise on functionality. For anyone familiar with fitness equipment, the learning curve is minimal, while beginners appreciate safety features and guided movements.

The FT2 Pro is especially appealing to those who prefer home training for convenience, privacy or arrangement reasons. With the financing options available, monthly payments are usually equal to or less than gym membership, while building equity in the equipment you own.
