Body-Solid vs Force USA: All-in-One Smith + Functional Trainer Compared

Body-Solid GSFR100 all-in-one functional trainer and Smith machine

All-in-one Smith machine and functional trainer combos combine a Smith machine, a cable functional trainer, and a rack into one footprint, and the Body-Solid GSFR100 and the Force USA G3 are two options worth comparing. If you're weighing GSFR100 vs Force USA G3, the core decision comes down to one design choice: selectorized versus plate-loaded resistance.

Both machines aim to replace a Smith machine, a cable functional trainer, and a rack with a single footprint — but they get there in very different ways, which changes both the price and the day-to-day training experience.

Body-Solid GSFR100 All-in-One Functional Trainer/Smith

Price: $5,400 | Smith Bar: Linear bearing, 600 lbs. capacity | Functional Trainer: Dual 210 lb. weight stacks | Product Weight: 946 lbs. | Dimensions: 68" L x 78" W x 86" H

The GSFR100 is fully selectorized — both the Smith bar and the dual functional trainer stacks use weight stacks rather than plates, and the linear-bearing Smith bar is rated up to 600 lbs. of resistance. Selectorized loading means faster transitions between exercises and users, which matters most in commercial or multi-user settings, plus the dual 210 lb. stacks give you independent cable resistance on each side for true unilateral and functional-trainer movements alongside standard Smith work.

The GSFR100's spec sheet — dual stacks, 600 lb. Smith capacity, and Body-Solid's commercial-grade build — puts it squarely in the higher-end tier of this category.

Best for: Commercial floors and serious home gyms that want fully selectorized speed and dual independent cable stacks in one footprint.

Force USA G3 (For Context)

Format: Plate-loaded | Functional Trainer Pulley Positions: 16 | Typical Price: Starts around $2,000 (check current pricing)

The Force USA G3 takes the opposite approach: it's plate-loaded rather than selectorized, with 16 pulley height positions on its functional trainer arms (the Smith bar has its own separate height adjustments). That plate-loaded design is the main reason it starts around $2,000 — check Force USA's site for current pricing — a meaningfully lower entry price than the selectorized GSFR100, though it also means loading and unloading plates by hand between exercises rather than pinning a stack.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers who don't mind manually loading plates and want a lower entry price into the all-in-one category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the selectorized vs plate-loaded Smith combo difference?

The GSFR100's linear bearing Smith bar is rated for 600 lbs. of capacity.

Does the GSFR100 have dual weight stacks?
Yes, the GSFR100 includes dual 210 lb. weight stacks for its functional trainer arms, in addition to its selectorized Smith bar.

Is the Force USA G3 cheaper than the Body-Solid GSFR100?
Yes — the Force USA G3 typically starts around $2,000 as a plate-loaded machine (check Force USA's site for current pricing), while the fully selectorized GSFR100 is $5,400.

Which all-in-one Smith and functional trainer is better for a commercial gym?
For high-traffic commercial floors where fast transitions between users matter, the selectorized GSFR100 is the stronger fit. For budget-focused buyers comfortable loading plates by hand, the Force USA G3 is a lower-cost entry point.
