It was a very unpleasant experience when my gym has been closed for 2 months recently. I had to buy some basic, used equipment to train at home to feel good.
Since then, I cannot stop thinking about having a gym at home and be completely independent from whatever happens in the outside world.
The only problem is: the size of my apartment: I have place for only 1 Device.
It has to be perfect!
I analyzed all possible types of devices made by leading producers around the world – and realized that what i need is a smith machine combined with double pulley cable machine.
And there are many devices like that – but for some magic reasons all of them have stack for cables and plates for Smith machine. What a not-elegant solution…
I already designed my own machine (Body Craft HFT + basic smith machine combined together in such a position that i could connect the cables to a smith machine’s bar.
Now I discovered your break trough innovation – and i see how such concept looks like when designed by professionalists + combined with superb materials and attention to details.
I hope to try it soon in Switzerland 😉

Always loved the BodyCraft brand as have been quite familiar with it after spending some time in the states and the office I worked at had a little staff gym with lots of bodycraft kit which I loved. This is almost like and superior version of their Jones machine but with so many more functions and no need for weight plates! It also takes up a modest amount of space considering it functionality!

Has taken most of the day to build but completely worth it as its really something special. So easy to make adjustments to the mechanisms and my wife and 2 teenage kids have been able to use it with no fuss too. We’ve had cheaper things in the past but this is a whole new level of quality. We’ll probably get the bench to go with it too now.

Having seen this on the BodyCraft US website some time ago I enquired with Powerhouse if they would be getting this item and was please to hear it was on order from the supplier, but 3 months away! Really didn’t want to wait so contacted BodyCraft in the US who quotted me a ridiculous sum of money for freight and that was before paying import tax! Decided to wait for Powerhouse to have stock and so glad I did. I’ve never seen anything like this before and I don’t think theres anyone else out there doing anything like this, it is quite simply the most innovative training system I’ve ever seen!

I’ve been a gym rat for more than 25 years and have owned all kinds of home gym equipment, from free weights, and adjustable dumbbells to all different kinds of home gyms.
During the pandemic, I started looking for a home gym again and tried all kinds of different types. I live in a 5th floor walk up apartment with limited space and was prepared to compromise because of space.
When I tried the XFT though I knew i had to have it. For so many reason– this is the cream of the crop and a technological marvel. There is nothing out here like it! There is no need for any other equipment and it replaces the need to go the gym entirely. Also no compromise was necessary! This machine is phenomenal and even with more space I wouldn’t want anything else.
Not only does it does it have a compact footprint for what it can do, , but has all the benefits of a functional trainer with a complete Jones machine built right in. It has one 200 lb weight stack although is somehow feeds both sides of the functional trainer without any decrease in weight (i.e. it functions somehow as if you had two separate 200 lbs stacks on each side) Not only that but when you use the jones machine you can also duplicate the weight, so I could squat, deadlift and lunge up to 400 lbs! (with a 200 lb weight stack-go figure). Unless you are training for Mr. Olympia this is enough weight to get a heavy duty work out. It’s also a snap to change between exercises and weights. There i no needs to load/unload heavy plates and literally cuts my work out times in 1/2. The Jones machine with rotating bar also allows you to have a complete range of motion. It’s a bit expensive but for me worth every single penny! Give it a try–you’ll see what I mean. This thing is incredible.

Was looking at buying either the Inspire FT2 or French Fitness FSR80. Unbeknownst to me my brother was also in the market and just recently bought the Bodycraft XFT . He told me about it and I’m so glad he did as the XFT is by far the superior multi-functionall. I love the telescopic smith bar and fact the smith bar connects to the selectorized weights. Excellent design and well worth the money.

My wife and I own a business that has been heavily affected by COVID19 (as other have) and with us concentrating on staying open, going to the gym is not really an option. We’ve had other “machines” in the past and have sold them as they were more like toys rather than a real machine. We bit the bullet and spent the money thinking that we would be forced to use it because of the shear price tag. So far, I’ve used the machine almost daily and I love it. We are just over a month in and really enjoy using the machine. My wife loves the flexibility and I love how adaptable it is. I use the work out sheets as well as other exercises that I used to do with free weights. This thing is a beast. It’s sturdy, easy to assemble, and just a pure joy to use.

As a fitness specialist I need to get what I need out of a in home workout, I am loving this ALL IN ONE functional machine! I love my smith machine squats and this machine has that feature and it is built well and sturdy too! You will not be disappointed in your new home workouts!

The XFT kicks some serious butt. Coming from a diehard Olympic lifts with free weights and bars the XFT does not disappoint. All the gyms are closed so we had to workout at home. The only critic of the machine is that the height adjustment rail needs to be numbered as if you are working out and doing some repetitive exercises it would be great to be able to see where you last had the bar set at. We did solve the problem with a Sharpy and wrote on the 64 numbers. It would be nice if numbers were etched on like the pulley rails. 5 out of 5 regardless but the manufacturer could probably make this change moving forward with future production.
BODYCRAFT –
Thank you for this great review! The laser etched numbers on the Cable Columns are meant to double as both a reference for Pulley adjustments, as well as the Lifting Bar adjustments. The ends of the Lifting Bar are directly next to the numbers on the cable columns, so those numbers can be used as reference when adjusting the Lifting Bar. Congrats on your clever enhancement!

Bought this as the gym has been closed the majority of the year. While it did take two of us almost an entire day to set up we are extremely happy with the results. There’s a lot of versatility and it seems as though your imagination is the only limit. As well, for being such a multi use machine, it really does have a reasonably sized foot print and we still have lots of space around it.
Everything is good quality and moves smoothly. We did need to tweak it a bit to get the pin to slide in and out easily, which was a step that was not well represented in the instructions.
Happy with the variety of attachments it came with. The unit does have unique engineering to it, so expect to take some time learning how to use it and get used to it.
Very excited to get gym quality work outs at home!

For years i had been looking to complete my Home Gym and when i saw this machine i thought this was exactly what I was looking for.
Its extremely light desig and rhe versatility was what conviced me.
I have using the machine for a month now and i am extremely happy with my purchase.
Yes it did take me a few days to assemble but it was worth every penny i spent.
The only recommendation is to make the wiring instructions a bit more legible.

Was kind of a impulse buy and my wife and I are extremely happy with this XFT machine. I’ve owned all kinds of home gym equipment that has fallen short. This machine is legit gym environment worthy. I saw it on the dealers show room and it caught my eye pretty quickly with how it is engineered and the materials used not to mention the amount of exercises that it is capable of. It is quality all the way, smooth and quiet with quick transitions between exercises. The way the bar floats horizontally gives the feel of free weights with the safety of a machine, and it carries the weight pushing up or pulling down. Assembly and directions were good, it took around 6 hours, getting the parts out of all the boxes took a little while. If you are on the fence about what machine to buy, this one you can not go wrong with.
