Hoist Fitness Mi7 Smith Ensemble

A standard Smith machine only moves vertically, locking you into a rigid path. The Mi7's dual-action system allows for both vertical and horizontal movement, which mimics the natural arc of a free-weight barbell while still providing the safety of a guided rack.

No, the Smith machine is counterbalanced and integrated into the system, so you do not need to load it with external weight plates. The starting weight of the bar is 30 lbs, and you adjust the resistance using the machine's internal weight stacks.

Yes, the functional trainer side features 360-degree rotating columns with 28 adjustment points. This design allows you to position the pulleys at almost any angle, giving you the freedom to perform movements like chest flies, rows, and woodchoppers without restriction.

The machine has a footprint of approximately 83 inches wide by 92 inches long. You should also account for an additional 2 to 3 feet of clearance on all sides to safely perform exercises and access the cable columns.

The unit comes with two 150 lb weight stacks. While this is excellent for functional training, high-volume cable work, and controlled Smith machine movements, advanced powerlifters may find the limit restrictive for heavy compound lifts.

Split Weight Cabling allows for increased cable travel, meaning you can perform exercises that require a longer range of motion, such as lunges or full-extension rows, without running out of cable length.
