Who should buy which

Pick the Altas Strength Multi-functional Trainer AL-3130 if

Buyers with a garage or basement that fits an 84 by 60 inch footprint and an 87 inch tall frame, who want two weight stack cable columns with a ratio switch, and who can move crated freight from the curb indoors and assemble a 1,696 lb machine without a published install service.

Skip if

You want the machine carried indoors or built for you, since delivery is curbside only and no assembly service is published; you want a written list of included attachments before paying $6,999.00; or you may change your mind after delivery, since the product page allows 7 days and asks for products to be unassembled on return.

Pick the GMWD Fitness SM12 2.0 if

Home lifters who want a rack, Smith machine, and cable crossover in one machine without the four-figure-per-piece cost of commercial brands, and who have the ceiling height and space.

Skip if

You have a low-ceiling room (it stands 86 inches tall) or want competition-grade, fully warrantied commercial equipment rather than value-priced consumer gear.
