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.
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!
This is an amazing piece of equipment. So different than traditional smith machines and provides the versatility of cables and selectorized weight stacks. This is an addition everyyone should make to their gym.
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!
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!
Overall, the XFT is an excellent all-around weight machine. If you are looking for a compact, efficient machine that can do almost anything; this is the best out there.
As background, I have been lifting for over 45 years and have used almost everything including free weights, a wide variety of club machines, leverage machines, Smith machines, and a Bodycraft Jones machine with cable columns that I had for the previous 15 years. I liked the Jones machine, but when I moved, I wanted something more compact and more efficient to use than having to load plates.
After using the XFT for several weeks now, here are my thoughts.
• Assembly – It is a very well-made machine, and the instructions are good, but it is relatively complex and takes quite a while to put together. I did it almost entirely alone. There are some bolt placements that are a little tricky to get to or areas where it took some pressure to get things lined up. I have put together quite a few pieces of exercise equipment, and this took the longest by far. The final product is a very nice-looking, compact machine.
• Cable columns – These work perfectly as you would expect and have plenty of height adjustments.
• Pressing – The bar pressing action for things like bench press or overhead press is good, but it isn’t quite as smooth or clean feeling as the Jones machine, where it is a much simpler linear bearing setup compared to all the additional cables and pulleys on the XFT. It is still good, but it just doesn’t feel quite as clean, and I can see in it in the lower amount of weight I can do compared to the Jones machine.
• Pulling – Using the bar for pulling like lat pulldowns or deadlifts feels very good. The provided strap works well to lock you in place for lat pulldowns. Deadlifts also feel very nice; the only problem is that I would like to have more than 200 lbs, and the doubling-up capability doesn’t help – more on that below.
• Doubling up – The capability to double the weight by attaching the cable columns to the bar has limited use. For something like a deadlift, where it would be very useful because you can do heavier weights, you can’t really use it at that low of a starting height because the pulleys aren’t low enough. Even if you have a starting height that works, the problem is that the cable attachments will tend to pull the bar toward or away from you, depending on what way you are facing. The more your bar movement is in line with the cable column movement, the less you would notice this, or I suppose you could lock the horizontal bar movement, but that defeats one of the prime benefits of the machine.
• Overall adjustability and movement – The variety of height adjustments, starting positions for the bar, and the vertical and horizontal bar movements all seem more than adequate.
• Efficiency – This was one of my big motivations – to avoid a lot of the setup time of loading and unloading plates, etc. – and the XFT is very efficient. It is very quick and simple to adjust the starting bar height, cable columns, and weight stack as you move from exercise to exercise.
As with anything, there are tradeoffs, but the XFT is as good as you can get for its flexibility, adjustability, efficiency, and safety, and still have the feeling of lifting real weight.
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.
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.
WE PURCHASED THE xft fUNCTIONAL tRAINER FOR OUR HOME GYM in 2022. wE LOVE THE NEW MACHINE AND ALL THE FUCTIONALITY OF THE xft, iT WAS AN EXCELLENT ADDITION TO OUR HOME WORKOUTS.
