Olympic Smith Machine Counterbalanced

The Panatta Olympic Smith Machine Counterbalanced is a guided barbell station where the bar travels vertically along fixed rails. The counterbalanced construction offsets much of the bar's own weight, allowing a lighter starting resistance while load is added with weight plates. The guided path adds safety and makes the machine versatile, supporting squats, bench presses, overhead presses, and many other compound movements. Depending on the exercise, the Smith Machine works the legs, glutes, chest, shoulders, and back. The fixed bar path is especially useful for learning technique, training safely when alone, and taking lifts into controlled end ranges with confidence.
