Patented Articulating Functional Trainer Arms
The patented articulating functional trainer arms is a game changer. You can go wide for exercises like chest flys and cable crossovers. And you can bring them together to leverage both stacks at the same time for exercises like lat pulldowns and seated rows.
Stainless Steel Front Uprights
The SX2 now comes standard with stainless steel 3x3 11 gauge front uprights to keep your rack always looking new. Some of the most well respected power rack brands offer 3x3 11 gauge stainless uprights as a premium option for a reason so if someone says stainless steel uprights are inferior, then they don't know squat (pun intended).
Standard Commercial Rack Tubing
The frame is built with 3×3″ 11 gauge steel and has 5/8″ holes throughout making it compatible with rack attachments from other brands. It also features 1" Westside hole spacing which allows for the precise placements of your J-hooks and safeties for those big lifts.
Counterbalanced Smith Machine
The optional counterbalance is designed to provide a more balanced and controlled lifting experience. The counterbalance bar helps to offset the weight of the barbell, making it easier to perform certain exercises with proper form and technique.
Dual 220 lb Weight Stacks
The included dual 220 lb weight stacks ensures you will have the weight you need for all your functional trainer exercises. And for those that need a little more, the included weight plate horns allow you to add weight plates to the stack.
Quick Attach and Release Leg Press Plate
The quick attach and release leg press plates conveniently converts your smith machine into a leg press machine.
Strap Safety Arms and UHMW Sandwich J-hooks
The unique and hefty strap safety arms gives you your bar a soft landing when you need it. And the J-hooks use UHMW sandwiched between two thick steel plates to protect your bars finish and knurl.

Shipping and delivery
1. This took a little while to come after ordering which is normal because it is a popular item. The local delivery company didn't call me before heading to my house with this, which was very inconvenient because I wasn't home. Thankfully he was able to wait until someone could sign for it. Again, not MAXUM's fault, but something to watch out for.
2. Everything was packed in a big wooden crate. Nothing was damaged and packing job by MAXUM was very good.
3. Oddly enough, shortly after I ordered MAXUM contacted me that a few parts were missing, and in particular that there was an issue with the way the pulley brackets attach to the top of the machine so they would send me new brackets to correct the issue. It wasn't a huge deal but it did make me feel like the product wasn't quite ready for primetime AND the replacement parts took many weeks to finally arrive.
Build quality.
1. This is a beefy, 11 gauge machine that is mostly very well made. I question some of the tolerances in manufacturing as my pivot arms don't exactly align perfectly when they are turned completely inward. It's not a deal breaker and I've asked MAXUM for a replacement arm (haven't heard back yet) but for a machine this expensive you expect a certain level of quality.
2. Likewise, one of the smith machine sleeves is a little too big for some of my olympic plates, again a tolerance issue, working with MAXUM to correct.
3. The welds are pretty good and fit and finish is nice, but I would have liked to see better quality attachments on some of the pieces. The connecting pins would be nicer if they were rounded and chrome, right now the paint is slowly flaking off some of mine.
4. Some of the attachments are amazing. I particularly like the spotter arms and the center lower mount for center low pulley work. But some of the other attachments are meh, like the D handles which broke very soon after using them, and the T-bar row attachment which just seems kind of cheap and an afterthought
Versatility and features
1. This is where this thing shines. There’s so much you can do on this with the adjustable pulley arms and attachments.
2. I love how the weight stacks include weight horns. That’s a very nice feature and much more convenient than having an additional weight pin to put on
3. The smith bar has really good travel and you can even do hip thrusts with it if you put a pad on the floor
4. The pull-up bar could be better. Because this unit is shorter than the last version, pullups are really not that great on this. I got an aftermarket bar that is higher and much better.
Overall this is a great machine with incredible versatility but quality control could be better, and overall build doesn’t feel premium in certain areas. I’m also still waiting for MAXUM to correct a few issues.
Go ahead, these are a good buy!
If you have done a good search for the Sx2 in the Internet and everywhere you can't find much information and comments. So hoping that my comment can be useful for someone.
