Description
GUIDED COMMERCIAL STRENGTH
Nautilus Smith Machine with 7° Angled Bar Path
The Nautilus Smith Machine uses a 7-degree angled bar path designed to support squatting and pressing movements. The angled rails guide the bar along a consistent path during squats and presses, while the rotating Olympic handle provides a convenient way to engage and disengage the bar from its rack positions. This combination is useful in shared commercial training spaces where lifters may have different experience levels.
CONTROLLED STARTING LOAD
Nautilus Smith Machine Counterbalanced Olympic Bar
The Nautilus Smith Machine features a counterbalanced Olympic bar with a manufacturer-specified starting resistance of 12 lb (5.5 kg), so users can understand the resistance before adding Olympic plates. The counterbalance helps make the starting load more approachable for warm-ups and lighter training, while the rotating handle allows the bar to be released and reset at the desired position.
SAFETY AND ORGANIZATION
Nautilus Smith Machine Safety Catches and Plate Storage
The Nautilus Smith Machine's distinctive red adjustable safety catches provide a visible safeguard that can be positioned for different exercises and users. Six marked plate-storage pegs on each side—12 in total—help keep weight plates organized near the machine. Rubber feet add protection between the equipment frame and the facility floor.
The Fitness Outlet is an authorized Nautilus dealer offering product guidance, delivery options and manufacturer warranty support.
Nautilus Smith Machine for Commercial Strength Facilities
The Nautilus Smith Machine (NP-L8500) is a dedicated plate-loaded strength station for commercial gyms, training studios, and other facilities seeking a guided barbell training option. It can be used for exercises such as squats and presses, with the bar following its fixed angled path rather than moving freely.
When planning your strength area, allow space for the Nautilus Smith Machine's 89-inch width, 67-inch depth, and 82-inch height, as well as room for loading plates and moving around the equipment. The machine weighs 648 lb; review floor conditions and installation requirements before placement. Bolt-down locations are provided for facility installation planning.
