Would ❤to have my own Smith-machine… Just started pricing things and 😵💫 Even a basic plate-loaded bench is $$$ (Maybe sell the house and put the equipment on the street? Lol!)
Oh dear! Are you looking at fully commercial machines? They will be very expensive. Mine was semi-commercial so sort of like top end home equipment. That's more what you want to find. But prices of all weight training equipment has really increased since COVID unfortunately! Likely cheaper to join a gym with a Smith Machine.
@@MelanieDurette Started back 3 weeks ago… Gym life in Eastern Europe is… (not the same as stateside) 😉 Really wanted to get the kids involved (well, they are ‘adults’ - I’m an ‘old’ man) The local gym cost $46 a month (not a commercial gym) Anyway… thanks (just ran across your videos because RUclips saw I was looking at Smiths) 😊 You have a good thing going here, took a look around. Doing what I started out doing with my health channel. (Was trying to make videos to encourage women in fitness) Might wonder why…my daughters are the ones who helped get me back in shape. One bikes with me 3 times a week on my 21.5k runs. The other told me to start a channel when I started a crazy watermelon diet last year. I’m not new to fitness, ran and weight lifted since 15 (50 now) But, living in Eastern Europe - roller coaster, mentally and physically. 😜 So, the weight went on and keeping it off is a bit hard due to $. Either way, it seemed there wasn’t enough videos for ladies (unless you watch glute workout videos) so I started a series for ladies. (Didn’t go that well, seeing I am a dude with a white beard! Lol!) So, now, I’m just journaling my journey to my 300lb bench and anyone is welcome to watch and pick up what they will. My daughter edits my videos and does VFX (both the health channel, and this one I’m writing from, my dungeons and dragons channel) Having said all this to say, it’s awesome to see that your channel is doing, (better so) what I had hoped to do in encouraging ladies. (And I’ve enjoyed it as well) All the best!
