SM12 2.0

One frame does the work of three machines: a half rack, a Smith machine, and a dual-cable functional trainer, all on a 14-gauge steel chassis starting at $1,149.99. It is the budget-conscious way to build a genuinely full home gym in a single footprint.

Bench6000 X

A bench is the least interesting piece in a home gym and the one that decides how much the rest of it can do. Keppi's Bench6000 X is its flagship at $679.99, and what you are paying for is the frame: Type 304 stainless steel instead of the painted carbon steel almost every bench in this price band uses.

Who should buy which

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.

Pick the Keppi Bench6000 X if

Home lifters who want a wide-adjustment bench with 11 backrest and 8 seat angles in a corrosion-resistant stainless frame, especially for a humid garage or a bench that lives in a visible part of the house.

Skip if

You need a published weight capacity and footprint before you buy, or you mainly want the adjustment range, in which case Keppi's own Bench 6000 covers it at $379.99.
