Rank #5 in Best Multi Gym 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Claims That Don't Add Up
Strongway Multi Gym Smith Machine with Weights
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Strongway Multi Gym Smith Machine with Weights is the number five entry in this guide. It is one all-in-one rig: a Smith machine barbell, pull-up bar, adjustable dip station, landmine attachment, row footplate, leg brace, J-hooks and cable handles, plus a dual cable pulley system. It is listed at £799.96 and rated 4.7 out of 5 from 38 reviews.
The figure worth reading twice is the cable headline: "88.5KG weight stack on each side (177KG TOTAL)". That 177KG is two 88.5KG stacks added together, not a load anyone lifts in one place. The same listing then lists a "Tension Supported" figure of 144KG, which is lower than the 177KG the bullet advertises, and a third capacity number altogether, a "Total weight capacity of 350KG". Three different capacity figures appear in one listing, while the machine's own listed weight is 130 kg. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing and its customer reviews, not from any testing we have done.
How those 38 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.7 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I've done a few workouts on this now and it's brilliant. A really sturdy bit of kit 💪🏼 so much flexibility of use and I LOVE it.The assembly instructions require a bit of thinking, but aren't too difficult. I do with there was an Idiot's Guide to installing the cable, but I did work it out.HOWEVER, I wish it had said the overall footprint of the machine before I started, and reminded me to leave a gap at the back for the Olympic Bar rest..! I had shoved mine up against the wall of the garage and it's now impossible to move without dismantling, as adding the rests is one of the final steps and I can't slide it on the rubber flooring (which was obviously deliberate for safety). So, please remember to leave space at the back! Similarly, I installed this off-centre in my garage due to some shelving... I was about an inch short to the left so I couldn't physically slide the length of the squat bar in! I had to partially dismantle the top of the machine and use some brute force to put it in - and now I can't remove it easily, obviously 😅 If you have a narrow space, please consider how you'll get the pole in horizontal BEFORE you start building, and adjust your room positioning before you add the weights. If you are in a standard UK garage, being in the centre of the garage narrow wall should be ok - just! I hope this review saves someone the frustration I experienced during build haha. Enjoy!”
Verified purchase“This is a lovely gym set it has everything you need and more wasn't that hard to put together but just remember it's heavy so once you build it you won't be able to move it without other people but it works and makes working out feel better so I am happy with it will update after I've had it a few more months”
