Ultimate Counterbalanced Smith Machine BL181

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL MACHINE

Our Smith Machine BL181 is a fully integrated strength training system that combines eight machines in one: a Smith machine, power rack, cable crossover, lat pulldown, low row station, chin-up bar, dip station, and landmine attachment. Compared to our JL006 model, the BL181 offers enhanced attention to detail, a wider training area, and heavier, more robust weight stacks for serious lifters. Its counterbalanced Smith bar provides smoother, more precise movement control — perfect for users prioritising form and technique. Unlike many functional trainer Smith machines on the market, the BL181 features a true 1:1 cable ratio, delivering more accurate resistance feedback — ideal for athletes who demand realistic load response, precise form, and efficient strength gains.
