The fully assembled dimensions of Marcy Smith Machine are 95” length, 79” width and 86” height.

That means it occupies some space in the room and needs 2-3 feet of clearance all around the machine so that the user can perform the exercises easily.

It cannot be placed or assembled in a room with a 7’ ceiling as it may not allow the user to perform the workouts with feasibility.

The users with 5-6’5 height or taller than that can use this machine without any difficulty.

Frame Construction

To start with the construction of the frame, Marcy has used steel tubing of 14 gauge square which extremely solid to perform exercises.

Few of the parts of this machine have a chrome coating with diamond finishing and the other parts have anti-corrosion enamel.

The frame is designed to handle the weight up to 600 lbs easily as the frame is sturdy enough.

There are steel plates welded on the base bars of the machine in case the user want to bolt it to the ground, but the machine itself is heavy enough to handle the tough exercises.

So there is no such need of it and if the user doesn’t want it to slide on the floor, one can place rubber mat for the grip.

The bench of the frame is also made from steel tubing. It is not connected to the cage so the user can move it anywhere he/she wants and can set on the most comfortable position while exercising.

There are 3 positions the bench offers which are horizontal, incline and decline, but the decline position goes down a few degrees from 180 angles.

The foam used to provide the best comfort is of high density in two-tone which can last a lifetime if taken with proper care. And the foam is used on roller pads as well on the leg developers to provide the comfort for legs.

The pulleys used in this machine are of 2000 lbs tensile strength steel ropes as this is not a common smith machine and can handle the weight more than the maximum capacity to provide a smooth performance.

Assembly and Maintenance

Marcy Smith Cage Workout Machine Total Body Training Home Gym System with Linear Bearing Md-9010G

The assembling of this Smith Machine is easy as the package includes the easy follow instructions, but it may take 4-5 hours and also need an extra hand because some of the parts are quite heavy in weight.

As the assembled weight of this machine is quite heavy, the user needs to assemble it in a room where the workout would be taking place as it would be difficult to move once assembled.

Maintaining is not difficult as the only part which needs to be lubricated with WD-40 or light oil is linear ball bearing.

Marcy Diamond Elite MD-9010G Smith Machine is a home gym with a multifunctional fitness system that offers more than 100 exercises with several working stations.

It is made from heavy-steel tubing which makes it sturdy enough for heavy workouts and can handle weight up to 600 lbs.

The price this machine comes with while offering every possible exercise being so compact is simply great.
