The RX3 Tornado Smith Machine Rack is the perfect all-in-one rack for a functional trainer, smith machine, and a half rack in one unit. It comes with our patent-pending Tornado Pivot Arms which offers the ability to target every muscle group more effectively. The Tornado Pivot Arms have 4-way adjustability so you can position them outwards for a better stretch during chest flys, inwards towards the middle so the weight is directly beneath you for shoulder shrugs, or directly above you for lat pulldowns. We’re also including a smith machine that further allows you to isolate targeted muscles while keeping safety and simplicity in mind. A pair of RX3 J-Cups are included which allow the front uprights to be used as a half rack with your barbell. The RX3 Tornado Smith Machine Rack is made with 3″x3″ uprights, 11-gauge steel, and 1″ holes with 2″ spacing and also offers the ability to add storage shelves and plate sleeves on the back uprights.
RX3 SERIES DESIGN ETHOS
HEAVY DUTY STEEL WITH MODULAR DESIGN
Lift confidently and safely from 3″ x 3″ 11-gauge steel with 1400+ LB weight capacity. Our fully modular design features offset, 1″ holes with 2″ spacing on all 4 sides
DURABLE COATINGS AND HARDWARE
Our 1″ hardware is coated with black e-coat which is more resistant to corrosion, more durable, and looks very sleek because who doesn’t love black hardware? All attachments and hardware utilize 1″ pins at 2″ spacing to create a fully modular and extremely versatile rack.
EFFICIENT ACCESSORY MOUNTING
Laser-cut numbering for each of our offset 1″ holes with 2″ spacing on uprights, cross bars, and accessories such as spotter arms, provides convenience.
Attachment Design
All RX3 attachments are made with a rounded chrome pin making insertion into the uprights easy and frictionless. The rounded chrome pin as well as the uprights will maintain their new appearance, even after years of repeatedly inserting and removing attachments. Other companies use a powder-coated pin that scratches and chips away on both the pin itself as well as the coating on the upright. Further, the inside of all RX3 attachments are lined with protective padding made from durable materials to prevent metal-to-metal contact.
HIGH-QUALITY FINISHES & DETAILS
Chrome uprights where trolleys are used means less wear and scratches to your upright as you adjust the position of the trolley up and down. Our plate sleeves are also chrome with a rubber stopper which eliminates the potential of scratches and chips seen on cheaper, powder-coated plate sleeves. RX3 Sandwich J-Cups feature stainless steel logo plates with an oversized racking area, making it easier for lifters to re-rack their barbell into the intended racking area. All components and attachments were designed in more detail.
Exceptional Construction
Logos are bolted on with stainless steel nameplates on 95% of attachments, while a few are laser-cut. No stickers are used in any of our RX3 designs. Take a look at our Stainless Steel Logo Plate — we’ve gone the extra mile by laser-cutting triangular designs into the nameplate, further enhancing its standout appearance that is representative of the pinnacle of quality seen on the RX3 Series.
In-House Precision Manufacturing
We’ve upgraded our manufacturing and the first thing we wanted to offer is the RX3 line. 6-Axis Laser cutting, CNC Lathe, robotic welding, friction welding, hydraulic servo bending, shot blasting, and powder coating all in the same facility for a consistent and high-quality product. We’ve even brought in a hardware packing machine to blister pack all hardware in-house.
Continuing Innovation
We didn’t stop at designing just high quality standard attachments like j-cups and spotter arms; our cable trolley systems are the best in the market. Our RX3 3000 Cable Tower series features dual pulleys on a single column to allow 2:1 or 1:1 weight ratios and our patent-pending Tornado Pivot Arms allow even more functional training capabilities in one unit. Both cable machines also include 2x black, aluminum anodized, knurled handles that are the best standard handles we’ve seen in the industry. Our product development team meets biweekly to design innovative attachments and solutions for our RX3 series. Stay tuned for more innovative, multifunctional, and high-quality attachments for the RX3 series!
FAQs
Who is this unit for?
The RX3 Tornado Smith Machine Rack is for those that want an all-in-one unit that combines a smith machine, Tornado pivot arms functional trainer, and half rack into one space-saving unit. The perfect centerpiece for your home gym or commercial gym, this rack was designed to give you the most effective training methods. The RX3 Tornado Pivot Arms offer greater versatility and more effective muscle targeting since you can position the handles exactly where you need them. Position outwards at up to 81″ apart for greater stretch for chest flys, or angle them inwards at shoulder width for deadlifts and shrugs with the weight directly beneath you. Exercises and effectiveness previously impossible with fixed trolleys are now accessible with our Tornado Pivot Arms. The included smith machine is not just for safety with its self-spotting capabilities, it’s also an excellent tool for totally fatiguing muscles from only one angle, thus tapping into the same set of motor units on every rep without fail. Without needing to engage multiple muscle groups to maintain balance and posture like with free weights, you can push more weight while focused on growing a specific targeted muscle. 2 front posts with j-cups included allows you to rack your barbell for benching and squatting if you do want to train those stabilizer muscles with more freedom of movement.
What is the benefit of Tornado Pivot Arms over other designs?
You can position them anywhere. Directly above you for lat pulls, directly below you for deadlift, outwards for greater stretch during chest flys, or close together to join them in order to utilize both 200LB weight stacks. The position of the Tornado Pivot Arms allows you to more effectively train your targeted muscle group and you are no longer limited by a fixed trolley on a vertical upright.
What is the benefit of a smith machine?
The RX3 Smith Machine allows you to prioritize safety, simplicity, gradual strength progression, and better isolation of targeted muscles compared to free weights. The predictability of the bar’s path makes it an excellent tool for breaking down and totally fatiguing muscles from one angle, thus tapping into the same set of motor units on every rep without fail. Without needing to engage multiple muscle groups to maintain balance and posture like with free weights, you can push more weight while focused on growing a specific targeted muscle.
What other attachments are available?
This unit is 3″x3″ with 1″ holes and 2″ spacing, so there’s are a wide variety of attachments from us and others available for this specification.

Do I need to bolt this into the ground?
The RX3 Tornado Smith Machine Rack does not need to be bolted into the ground, but we always recommend doing so for additional safety and liability
Will you have a better price on this for Black November Sales?
We have no plans to offer a better price on this unit for Black November. Our policy is to match pricing for anything that hasn’t shipped yet. Since this unit wouldn’t ship until 11/11 and Black November starts 11/01, then there is no possible chance that you’ll pay more by ordering now compared to waiting for our Black November sales. We recommend preordering this unit as soon as possible since the previous 3000 series configurations sold out very quickly prior to available date, and we expect these tornado series units to be the same.
