Golds Gym Smith Machine
The Golds Gym Smith Machine is another telling tale of a once all powerful fitness brand name that’s completely sold out and will put their name on anything to make a buck.
I’m sure Gold’s licensed out the their name to some cut rate manufacturer to have these smith machines made in a Chinese sweatshop (speculation)…
When you look at the specs on this smith it looks appealing. I mean you get the whole shooting match for about half of what you’d pay for a nice machine from Bodycraft, Body Solid, Powertec or Deltech…

Well looks can be deceiving my friend. The Golds Smith falls short of greatness by cutting corners on build quality in favor of loading on unnecessary attachments like a pecdec, a leg developer on the weight bench and rinky dink weight stack.
Look, if you’re in the market for a smith machine and you can only invest about $800 bucks, take a look at the used market and get a better machine as this thing will lose 50% of its’ value the minute you put it together.
P.S. For the love of God stop buying your exercise equipment at Walmart and Sams Club!
