7 Reasons to Buy an All-in-One Gym Machine

Like much of the world, you’re now working from home three days a week and can sneak in a quick workout mid-day. If only your gym weren’t a 15-minute drive away.

So you continue to train after work at 5:00 p.m. on weekday evenings, and it’s so frustratingly busy and chaotic that you can never manage to snag yourself a squat rack.

In the past, at least you had a quiet gym on Saturday mornings. But alas, you’re a parent now; you coach your kid’s soccer games on Saturday mornings, and the gym doesn’t open until 7 a.m. Your fitness is suffering because of it.

Can you relate? 

Adulting is hard, and sometimes it’s tough to get to the gym as easily as you could in your early 20s.

Enter: The all-in-one gym. These home workout setups are perfect for busy adults who want to work out regularly but don’t have the time to do so. These home gyms are often stocked with Smith machines, power racks, and more, providing all you need to get in the best shape of your life in one spot. 

Need more convincing? That’s why BarBend has teamed up with Major Fitness, the company behind the new Spirit B52 All-in-One Home Gym, to talk about the seven best reasons why you should buy an all-in-one gym. 

They Have Everything You Need in One Spot

Squat, hinge, push, pull — in other words, legs, chest, back, arms, and core — you can do it all with today’s all-in-one gym machines. The versatility here is unmatched. 

Take the B52 Spirit, for example. The machine’s cable pulleys allow you to do squat and deadlift variations, followed by landmine work and pull-ups right on the same piece of equipment. You can get even more specific with moves like lat pulldowns, triceps extensions, cable curls, face pulls, cable rows, chest flyes, and so much more.

Major Fitness’ Smith Machine Spirit B52 even supports free weights and includes an independent dual pulley system with 17 adjustable height positions so multiple users can work out simultaneously. 

You Can Always Add To Them

What happens when you buy a single squat rack for your home gym? It just stays as a squat rack. But with the Spirit B52, you have the opportunity to constantly add features to it, thanks to the variety of accessories available. 

For starters, you can utilize the three-in-one multifunctional handle to give your workouts a serious boost. This add-on is compatible with the machine’s landmine and pulley system, allowing you to handle a number of different rows, raises, and pulldowns at different angles and with different grips. 

You can also buy accessories like a leg extension, a shoulder lateral raise add-on, weight plates, and more. This all-in-one gym evolves with you — and as your fitness routine changes, you can always adapt. 

It’s Easier to Stick to a Routine

You’re following a bodybuilding-style training program that requires you to superset with specific weights. Still, it’s hard to adhere to your program at a commercial gym, as you’re constantly having to make substitutions.

You need 50-pound dumbbells, but they’re in use, so you grab the 45s. You’re supposed to use a 20-inch box, but it’s mysteriously missing, so you opt for the 24-inch box. You’re supposed to superset, but someone has just posted up where you were about to do your lat pulldowns. And on and on, ad nauseam.

Before you know it, you’ve only kind of adhered to your program’s prescriptions. So, if you’re tired of substituting on the fly and ultimately sacrificing the integrity of your training program, the home gym option solves this problem, too. 

Everything you need is in one spot on the B52 Spirit, and no one will be hogging any of the stations. If you need a Smith machine to build up your shoulder strength with overhead presses, it’s always available. If you want to hit some pull-ups in between sets, no one is stopping you. This makes it easier to stick to your plan and, ultimately, hit your goals.

They’re Space Efficient

Let’s be honest: Most of us don’t own homes with enough square footage to set up a full home gym properly. But an all-in-one requires just a bit of extra space to reap the rewards of an entire weight room. 

Take the B52 Spirit. At just 82.5 inches high, 78.8 inches wide, and 65.3 inches deep, this home gym oasis is perfect for garages or basements. While you might still need extra room for small accessory equipment, the B52 Spirit will cover virtually everything you need for a workout.

They’ll Save You Time 

How long does it take you to drive to your gym? Then, take into account all the time you waste getting changed, waiting for equipment to open up, and falling into an inevitable conversation with fellow gymgoers. Having all your gym needs at home helps you avoid all of that and get right down to your workout, saving you untold hours every week as a result.

Even if all you have is 30 minutes, you can have an effective, efficient session and then get back to your other obligations upstairs. Get in, get it done, and get out. If you’re into efficiency, this is the dream.

You Control the Environment 

Are you tired of the bad music that invariably dominates the gym? What about the sub-zero temperatures and dim lighting that leave you feeling tired rather than invigorated?

When you work out at home, you can set everything up your way: You choose your music, set the perfect temperature, and craft a space that is uniquely tailored to your personality.

It’s Perfect for Family Life

If you’re a new mom at home with a six-month-old baby, you’re probably struggling to make it to the gym more than once a week. A home gym won’t discriminate against your baby (or your dog), and it might be just what you need to get back into the regular lifting routine.

For a busy couple, an all-in-one gym is a perfect way to maintain a consistent fitness routine and make it a family activity. Hey, maybe your kids will even join in when they’re old enough.

Is an All-in-One Home Gym for You?

Whether you find yourself tired of waiting for machines at the gym or just want to reinvigorate your fitness routine with some high-quality workout options, the all-in-one home gym, like the Major Fitness’ All-in-One Home Smith Machine Spirit B52, has the solution for you. 

It gives you all you need without compromising (and possibly even enhancing) the quality of your training plan. Best of all, if you forget to put on deodorant before your workout, nobody cares. For more on the Spirit B52, head here.
