RitFit M1: Your Ultimate Fitness Companion

RitFit is perfect for 95% of people who workout at home.
Why did you pick this product vs others?:I chose this product because it seemed to be the best power rack option for something I could order on Amazon and get quickly as I had only 3 months to kick my body into hyper gear for an upcoming trip. I looked at the more expensive and allegedly better systems online but when I tried to build the system I wanted, they were often out of stock and it was going to take 8 weeks to get here. So, I chose the RitFit power cage with plate loaded cable system. Even though I read some critics online say it was not sturdy enough or other problems; I decided to order it because I needed something quickly. And I have to state that I could not be happier. I have been a weightlifter for health most of my adult life; and I can say that unless you are a pro body builder or if you want to squat and bench over 250 pounds then this Rit Fit system is all you need. I did choose the 2.0 with cable pullies that have the aluminum fittings and they work great. The only thing that was a bit tricky to assemble waere the cables,but I figured it out. I went slow and took 5 hours plus there are some YouTube videos that walk you through it too.My stuff came in 3 boxes. 2 boxes came a first but I had read online that sometimes the boxes come spaced apart and so I waited and sure enough the last box came 3 days later. Now granted I am in my 60’s but I do bench, military, squats, curls, incline bench items, triceps extensions from every angle imaginable and this RitFit cable system works great. There is no stick in the cables when you pull them, they work very smoothly and all the attachments work great as well. The handles have knurling that is fine. The pull up bar does not have knurling but it has every angle one can normally use.The bottom line for me is that even though I watched reviews from experts online that would say that RitFit was “acceptable” but cheap, they would say if you could afford the better systems (which are literally 4 times the cost) then they said you should go with the more expensive one. However, unless you are pro lifter I would say that this Rit Fit system is overly adequate for 95% of the people who workout at home.  The Smith Machine is smooth and even; the cables work as good as the ones I use at the commercial gym. It has plenty of storage on it to hold all your weights. RitFit has improves the system so you can have big plates on the pully and big plates on the Smith machine and they clear each other. It used to be that you could not have large plates on the Smith and on the pullies because they would run into each other in the middle. But I can tell that RitFit is listening to critics and making improvements. I truly believe if you think you are not in the top 5% of the weight-lifting workout world and are average to moderately skilled at lifting this product would be perfect for you.
