Patented Articulating Functional Trainer Arms
The patented articulating functional trainer arms is a game changer. You can go wide for exercises like chest flys and cable crossovers. And you can bring them together to leverage both stacks at the same time for exercises like lat pulldowns and seated rows.
Stainless Steel Front Uprights
The SX2 now comes standard with stainless steel 3x3 11 gauge front uprights to keep your rack always looking new. Some of the most well respected power rack brands offer 3x3 11 gauge stainless uprights as a premium option for a reason so if someone says stainless steel uprights are inferior, then they don't know squat (pun intended).
Standard Commercial Rack Tubing
The frame is built with 3×3″ 11 gauge steel and has 5/8″ holes throughout making it compatible with rack attachments from other brands. It also features 1" Westside hole spacing which allows for the precise placements of your J-hooks and safeties for those big lifts.
Counterbalanced Smith Machine
The optional counterbalance is designed to provide a more balanced and controlled lifting experience. The counterbalance bar helps to offset the weight of the barbell, making it easier to perform certain exercises with proper form and technique.
Dual 220 lb Weight Stacks
The included dual 220 lb weight stacks ensures you will have the weight you need for all your functional trainer exercises. And for those that need a little more, the included weight plate horns allow you to add weight plates to the stack.
Quick Attach and Release Leg Press Plate
The quick attach and release leg press plates conveniently converts your smith machine into a leg press machine.
Strap Safety Arms and UHMW Sandwich J-hooks
The unique and hefty strap safety arms gives you your bar a soft landing when you need it. And the J-hooks use UHMW sandwiched between two thick steel plates to protect your bars finish and knurl.
DETAILS
MAXUM SX2 – Smith Machine Functional Trainer Squat Rack Home Gym
Smith Machine • Functional Trainer • Squat Rack • Lat Pulldown/Row • Pull-Up
The MAXUM SX2 is a heavy-duty all-in-one home gym built for lifters who want professional-grade versatility in their own space. Combining a Smith machine, functional trainer, and squat rack into a single powerhouse system, the SX2 is designed to handle everything from foundational strength moves to advanced accessory work. With patented articulating arms that allow for wide training angles and deliver effective 1:1 cable resistance when both stacks are engaged, it brings the variety of a commercial gym into a machine made for your home.
Why the MAXUM SX2 Stands Out
- Patented articulating arms provide wide functional angles or move inward to engage both stacks for an effective 1:1 ratio on pulldowns and rows.
- Dual 220 lb weight stacks for progressive resistance.
- Plate-loading horns let you add resistance beyond the built-in stacks.
- Beefy Smith machine with 30 mm guide rods and smooth linear bearings for secure, guided lifting.
- Quick-release footplate for leg press training.
- 3×3″ 11-gauge steel frame with stainless steel uprights and 5/8″ holes for durability and broad attachment compatibility.
- Westside hole spacing (2″ overall with 1″ in the bench zone) for precise bar placement and safer training.
- Nylon-coated aircraft-grade cables, aluminum pulleys, and precision bearings deliver exceptionally smooth, consistent cable motion.
- Commercial-grade components throughout for lasting performance.

16 reviews for MAXUM SX2 Smith Machine Functional Trainer Squat Rack Home Gym
Only logged in customers who have purchased this product may leave a review.
The build quality is outstanding. It feels rock-solid and stable, even under heavy weight. The smooth motion of the Smith bar and pulley system makes every exercise feel professional-grade. I also love how compact and efficient the design is — it saves me so much space while still offering the functionality of multiple pieces of equipment.
Assembly was straightforward, and once it was set up, I could tell immediately this was built to last. The range of exercises I can do is endless — from squats and bench press to lat pulldowns, rows, and cable work. It truly feels like having a commercial gym at home.
If you’re serious about your fitness and want one machine that does it all, I can’t recommend the MAXUM SX2 enough. Absolutely worth every penny!
Customer service has also been amazing so far!
Now I need them to sell a preacher curl pad for their amazing AB5 Bench, and I will be set.
Pros:
- Solid, feels and looks commercial
- 3” steel tubes are definitely the way to go, impressively thick!
- Smooth cable operation (lowest weight setting was a bit sloppy until I realized the guide bars needed lubrication)
- Quality/chunky welds!
- Multi grip pull up bar is great
- Sturdy smith bar
Cons:
- There’s a big opportunity to elaborate on a few steps in the instructions with better pictures and details. There were a few steps that required me to backtrack in order to remediate.
- Carabiners are cheap and the gate doesn’t open very far. They come with a locking nut that can be taken off, but the gate still doesn’t open very far and is a nuisance for switching out attachments. Such a small cheap part could be done better for no cost…
- Handle attachment grip was made of cheap plastic and broke after first use. I reached out to MAXUM and after three days of no response I reached out again. Apparently there was a bad batch. They did send a new one.
- Straight handle swivel is rough. Not enough to hinder its use, but is annoying.
- Cable attachment points on articulating arms will hit the bottom pulleys if you let it slide all the way down. This will gouge the pulley if you’re not aware of it. Put a slide pin in the last slot to prevent this from happening.
- One of the guides for the smith attachment was installed backwards from MAXUM. Not a huge deal, but required the purchase of a pair of snap ring pliers to remediate.
- Extra pulley to compensate for articulating arms is cumbersome. Would be better if the wire rope was longer so the articulating arm wasn’t in your face and if the extra pulley was on a swivel
- Extra weight horns on the weight stack get in the way of the weight storage plate horns. You can put the storage weight horns on the back though.
- Articulating arms have a particular technique to be able to move up and down smoothly. Since they are so long they put a bit of torque on the guide rail so in order to move up and down easily they have to be extended forward and you have to push up on the knob that adjusts them from side to side. If you abide by this technique the arms slide smoothly, otherwise they tend to bind.
Overall, I’m happy with the machine but left four stars as it’s not perfect.

Purchased late March, 2025
Montreal, Quebec
Exceptional service, no matter when I called, someone always answered, it Patience, detailed product explainations. This played a large role in me gaining trust to make the investment. It was service not a single competitor offered, and I shopped around many "top" brands.
It took 8 days after purchase to recieve the package. Exceeded my expectations. Freight delivery arrived, driver was reluctant to bring into my garage but a small donation convinced him otherwise.
Assembly took 4 hours as I hired a company. A team of 2. They had some difficulty and they do it for a living. They instructions were good, not great. Also, no Product info was provided so for a few of the attachments, it was a bit of a challenge. Suggestion, step by step assembly video as well as a detailed video on how to use each attachment.
Product is sensational period! Smooth pulleys, sturdy design, you will feel like you are using high end gym equipment. I have spent over 35 years in many gyms, so I can attest to the quality of this product. My teenagers and wife have been training regularly and love this product as well.
So many attachments, it's really impressive.
Overall, amazing product, excellent cost value and service, and fast delivery. Strongly recommend this machine, at 54 years old, it has rejuvenated my passion after a lengthy absence. Thank you!
The functional trainer is delivered in a wood box, everything wrapped individually
Assembly 4/5
The instructions could be a bit bigger and clearer. But overall, better that some other that I've seen.
Took me and my buddy around 12-14 hours to assemble the whole rack.
The beast 5/5
This functional trainer is built like a tank.
I'm using it since 2 weeks now, and this is a hell of a beast.
Almost everything is commercial grade. I would've wish bigger carabiners, but minor minor thing.
The arms are a game changer. Use them separately to have a 2:1 ratio or combine them to have a 1:1 ratio.
Accessories 4.5/5
With the amount of accessories coming with it, there's almost nothing you can't do.
The small bar to attach to pulley seems to be lower in quality compared to others.
Support 5/5
I had to talk with a rep for payments and delivery and they reply fast and handle it with perfection.
I highly recommend this unit and MAXUM!
Go ahead, these are a good buy!
If you have done a good search for the Sx2 in the Internet and everywhere you can't find much information and comments. So hoping that my comment can be useful for someone.
