About
BODY-SOLID SERIES 7 SMITH MACHINE | GS348
The smith machine has been around for as long as amateur gym-based barbell athletics have. Body Solid takes the traditional and innovates. The Body-Solid Series 7 Smith Machine | GS348 is at the forefront of its class. Instead of just being a static apparatus that holds a barbell and some free weights, it’s interactive fitness machinery that makes it possible to train practically the entire body in one small space.
The two most popular exterior additions are a basic workout bench that can be set to different angles and an ordinary proprioceptive device like an inflated exercise ball. Exercises are more controlled and safer because there is so much built in safety mechanisms. It’s almost impossible to cause yourself injury despite the difficulty of exercises and heavy weights.
SERIES 7 SMITH MACHINE
The Series 7 Smith Machine. Set to a 7-degree reversed pitch, the Series 7 allows natural upper and lower body movements for maximum muscle interaction; a feature not found in the traditional Smith Machine. User safety is provided by 20 cross-member lock-out points that are accessible with a simple 15-degree rotation of the bar, eliminating the need for a spotter. For those exercises that demand freeweight movement, the 14-position gunrack with 17″ extra heavy-duty safeties is also set to a 7-degree reversed pitch providing convenient lift-off points and predictable racking.
The Series 7 works great with any bench for intense chest and shoulder routines. Add the optional Selectorized Lat Attachment for high and low cable exercises, lat pulldowns, triceps pressdowns, cable crossovers and much much more! The Body-Solid Series 7 Smith Machine is the product of advanced biomechanical design, superior structural engineering and meticulous quality standards. It is a collection of the best benefits the Smith Machine, Half-Cage and Multi-station Gyms have to offer and its backed by the best warranty in the industry.
WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH THE SERIES 7 SMITH MACHINE?
With nothing added and depending on the body alone one could do anything from upright rows and military presses, to one-leg squats, deadlifts, and even chin-ups using the professionally welded pullup bar. The idea is that the majority of possible exercises will be compound in nature and call on the majority of major muscle groups, including the core, simultaneously.
When you throw in either a bench or an exercise ball, things can get more isolated. Without leaving the area you could do sets of traditional, incline, and decline chest presses. You could do heavier weight half squats, frontal squats, or sumo-style.
The sky is the limit really, the one and only drawback is the limited range of motion. It’s designed to go along one straight line of biomechanically friendly motion, not all over the place like free weights or cables. To be exact it’s a 7 degree angle which best mimics what the body would do with free weights.
GREAT FEATURES & THE SERIES 7 SMITH MACHINE GUARANTEE
First of all the gun rack system is extensive and impressive. You can store hundreds of pounds on the Body-Solid Series 7 Smith Machine | GS348 without having to worry about a thing. Furthermore, the specialized coating of paint makes sure that it stays looking pretty and doesn’t’ easily succumb to little nicks, bangs, bumps, and scratches.
Because of the type of exercises, safety, again, is a huge component here. Well, not only steel frame composed of strong 4-sided welds, but the adjustable safeties are dependable. Once you get used to a solid 4-point stance, other than with things like lunges, the structure and stability becomes a tool rather than a crutch.
So, all of this at a premium price from one of the most well known and trusted brands in the industry, and to top all off the Body-Solid Series 7 Smith Machine | GS348 comes equipped with the Lifetime warranty. It doesn’t just last for generations, but is covered as well. What else could anyone need, whether at home or in the commercial gym where these are always a favorite?

CUSTOMER QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
How does it compare to say the SC 1000?
Take a look below at the description. It does have the safety you are looking for. If you are a heavy lifter my suggestion is going with the SCB as it is a little more substantial. Either one of these machines are excellent pieces that I would personally use.

Answer #1 on March 6, 2015
Of what guage steel is the frame constructed? 11? 12? Other?
This machine is heavy-duty with all-4-side welded with 11 gauge and 12 gauge 2″x3″ mainframe steel construction with a safe, solid 4-point stance for maximum stability.
Answer #1 on March 9, 2022
Please tell me the size (length, width, height) of the products after packing, the number after packing and the weight after packing.
It came via UPS in about 3 or 4 boxes. 8 feet long and just under 200 lbs. It was on a pallet and they will charge extra to move it anywhere. Normally they will just leave the pallet in your drive way. You can take it apart from the pallet and move it inside but just be aware.
Answer #1 on April 16, 2018
What is the weight capacity?
At least 400 lbs. That’s what came w machine when I bought it.
Answer #1 on February 18, 2017
I’ve used 365 lbs so far, still smooth could use more.
Answer #2 on February 18, 2017
Anyone else find this machine loud? Maybe I just need to lube it differently?
Mine gets loud when it is not properly balanced or the tube stoppers at the top or bottom come loose. If they are in place, it is very smooth and quiet.
Answer #1 on November 14, 2016
This machine looks amazing, does the smith bar stay even under load like a gym machine or does it wobble?
This piece is a Commercial item that we put in gyms all the time. It’s built tough! The bar does not “wobble” under load – even max load. It’s smooth and quiet riding up and down the guide rods. This is Linear Bearing Smith like you find in the clubs, thus you will have no additional movement of the bar like a lower end machine.
Answer #1 on September 18, 2014
What type of weights can be used? Standard or Olympic style or both?
The GS348Q uses only Olympic style plates.
Answer #1 on August 10, 2017
Is this machine counter balanced?
Yes, In today’s standards it is a counter balanced smith machine and the lift off weight is 25lbs. I hope this helps.
Answer #1 on March 3, 2015
Does this set include the weight plates as well?
No, the weights need to be purchased separately.
Answer #1 on April 23, 2015
Is it 66 in with the bar or does the bar stick out more?
It is 70″ bar end to bar end
Answer #1 on January 21, 2015
How often is a lube needed on the leaner bar using light weight always on bar due to disability?
I would just hit the guide rod with 100% silicone spray once every 3 months.
Answer #1 on March 14, 2022
Can I do hip thrust on this machine?
Yes
Answer #1 on August 11, 2021
Can you get a pullup bar mounted on the front as an option? Can you get 24 inch safety arms?
Unfortunately there is not a pull-up bar option. The optional Selectorized Lat Attachment for the GS348Q mounts in this area. This machine comes with 17″ safety arms and does not have an option for longer safety arms.
Answer #1 on September 22, 2014
Can this machine be used for free weight squats and bench press?
Yes! lock smith bar up top and use anterior rack mounts to do anything with a free olympic bar
Answer #1 on January 25, 2017
I'm 6'2". Will I be able to do calf raises with a block on this?
Yes sir you can, I’m 6’4″ and its no problem. This is a really good machine, it’s got the 7 degree backward angle which works good for squats or chest and shoulders. Great piece.

"The machine arrives in 3 boxes on a long pallet. This machine was super easy to put together. It took 2 of us about 3 hours to do it. I did majority of the work myself, the 2nd person just helped hold pieces in place while I screwed them together; otherwise it would have taken about 4 hours on my own. I love that this machine has the squat rack/half cage in addition to the smith machine so it really allows for numerous exercises. It also comes with a piece that you can attach to the machine to hold an olympic bar. The smith machine moves really smooth, the bar is lighter than an olympic bar, but still works great & I have not had any issues with it. Definitely delivered on everything that I was wanting to finish my home gym."
