Smooth S490 Force Elite Home Gym Review

Smooth Fitness have been in business since 1984 when they had several retail stores selling fitness equipment in the Philadelphia area. It was in 1996 when they saw the potential of the internet that they decided to sell their equipment online. This was risky as no one knew if people would buy big equipment like this on the internet. The risk paid off and the internet now represents 90% of their sales. They make quality equipment as you’ll discover as we discuss the Smooth S490 Force Elite Home Gym further.

Even though this home gym has only one seat and is single station you get an excellent range of exercises from it. As you can see by the list below you’ll be working out your chest, shoulders, back, arms, abdominal’s and legs. This is because the weight using the pulleys and cables can be directed from multiple angles. This includes from beneath you, in front of you, behind you and above. All the exercises are pushed or pulled against the 200 lbs weight stack.

With the pulley and weight coming from above you, you get to do all the pull down exercises. This includes the back and shoulders with the lateral pull down and the arms get the tricep push down. Pulling the weight and pulley from below you means you can do exercises like the bicep curl, squat, shoulder shrugs and more. With the pulley and weight behind you introduces the chest press, seated row, pectoral fly and more. With the weight and pulley in front of you means you can do the seated row.

The good thing is whatever your height or build you’ll be able to get the exercises done because the seat is adjustable and telescopic. There is a standard pin which makes the seat and backrest move to your ideal position. This is essential so you’re not putting your body under unnecessary pressure by exercising in an awkward position. The seat, back rest and leg extension pads all have a leather feel which feels comfortable against your body. The weight stack is enveloped in a shroud which improves the look and essentially the safety of the gym.

The design of the gym and it’s one station nature means you can place it in the corner of a room. This represents a real space saving feature giving you room for your cardio equipment if you have all your exercise equipment in the same room in the house. The warranty is impressive with a lifetime warranty on all parts and 2 years of in home labor. This is industry leading. There is also free delivery in the price and you can get it assembled for you at a further price. Overall the Smooth S490 home gym is an impressive piece of strength training equipment that would make a great addition to any home gym.
