Creating a home gym that feels complete isn’t about filling every corner with equipment – it’s about choosing the right pieces that work together. Quality over quantity. RITFIT’s modular system makes that possible. Each machine is designed to perform multiple functions and fit seamlessly alongside the others, giving you a complete strength setup in a compact, organised space.
Whether you’re building from scratch or upgrading an existing area, here’s how to combine RITFIT’s core machines into a flexible, all-in-one strength system that grows with your training.
Start With the Core: The M2 3D Smith Machine
The RITFIT M2 3D Smith Machine is the anchor of a modular home gym. It provides the foundation for all your big lifts – squats, presses, rows, and deadlifts – while keeping safety front and centre.
Unlike a traditional Smith machine, the M2 allows both vertical and front-to-back bar movement, letting you lift through a more natural range of motion. Combine that with the integrated cable stations and lever arm attachments, and you’ve got an entire upper- and lower-body training zone in one frame.
Setup tips:
- Position the M2 in the centre of your space for easy access on all sides.
- Keep your adjustable bench nearby for presses and accessory work.
- Use the lever arms and cables for accessory movements like rows, flys, and triceps pushdowns.
Add Lower-Body Strength: The Gazelle Pro 3-in-1 Leg Press and Hack Squat
Once your main frame is ready, it’s time to build your base. The Gazelle Pro brings three essential leg movements – leg press, hack squat, and calf raise – into one compact design.
Its adjustable sled and footplate allow for quick transitions between movements, making it easy to move from heavy compound lifts to isolation work in one session.
How to use it effectively:
- Start with heavier leg presses to target overall strength.
- Shift to hack squats for depth and quad control.
- Finish with high-rep calf raises to round out your leg work.
- Keep the guide rails clean and lubricated for smooth motion.
This single unit covers everything from power to endurance, making it a must-have companion to the M2.
Add Isolation and Balance: The PLC01 Leg Extension & Curl Machine
A complete setup should balance compound lifts with targeted isolation work – and that’s where the PLC01 comes in.
By switching between seated leg extensions and lying curls, you can strengthen both the front and back of the legs, supporting joint stability and improving performance across all other lifts.
Pro tip: Adjust the pads each session to match your leg length and alignment. The smoother the pivot matches your knee, the more effective and comfortable each rep will feel.
Complete the System: The 1300 LB Adjustable Weight Bench
No strength setup is complete without a reliable, high-capacity bench. The RITFIT 1300 LB Adjustable Weight Bench connects everything together – sliding seamlessly between the M2 and Gazelle Pro for presses, rows, or step-ups.
Key setup notes:
- Keep it close to the M2 for presses and supported rows.
- Use incline and decline angles to target different areas of the chest and shoulders.
- When not in use, store it upright or under your frame to maximise space.
Structuring a Balanced Training Week
A modular setup makes programming simple. Here’s an example three-day split using these core pieces:
Day 1 – Upper Body Push (M2 + Bench)
- Incline Smith Press – 4 × 8
- Overhead Press – 3 × 10
- Cable Triceps Pushdown – 3 × 12
Day 2 – Lower Body (Gazelle Pro + PLC01)
- Leg Press – 4 × 10
- Hack Squat – 3 × 8
- Seated Leg Extension – 3 × 12
- Lying Leg Curl – 3 × 12
Day 3 – Upper Body Pull (M2 + Bench)
- Bent-Over Row – 4 × 8
- Cable Pulldown – 3 × 10
- Rear Delt Fly – 3 × 15
Each training day uses the same core stations, reducing setup time while covering every major muscle group.
Making the Most of Your Space
RITFIT’s modular approach means you can build a high-functioning gym in as little as one wall’s width.
Layout suggestion:
- Place the M2 Smith Machine centrally as your hub.
- Position the Gazelle Pro to one side for leg work.
- Keep the PLC01 near the rear or wall for accessory sessions.
- Store the Bench underneath or vertically when not in use.
This arrangement allows you to transition smoothly between exercises while maintaining an open, uncluttered floor plan.
Final Thoughts
A complete strength setup doesn’t need to be complicated. By combining RITFIT’s modular pieces – the M2, Gazelle Pro, PLC01, and adjustable bench – you can train every muscle group safely, efficiently, and without leaving your garage.
Each unit supports the next, forming a connected system that evolves with your goals. Whether you’re lifting heavy, building endurance, or simply staying consistent, this modular approach keeps your training structured, progressive, and endlessly adaptable.
