BodyCraft Super Gym SG2

The Bodycraft Super Gym SG2 is a versatile, free-standing cable system with an optional half-rack / Smith machine add-on. The cable system alone with its height adjustable handles, and low/high attachment points makes the SG2 an amazing piece of equipment for nearly limitless full-body functional training at home.

Free-standing cable machine with dual weight stacks

The Super Gym SG2 has two independent weight stacks with 90 kg each that can be adjusted in 4.5.kg increments. Since the pulley ratio for each side is 2:1, the weight adjustments are actually finer as the effective resistance force is halved. This is not a problem for most exercises and is even advantageous for particular exercises. Smaller jumps in weight allow for smoother progression when isolating specific muscles in the arms and shoulders. The 2:1 pulley configuration also allows for a longer draw length (like a block and tackle) which can be a benefit for exercises requiring a wide range of motion to be most effective.

But thought was also put into allowing for exercises with a higher amount of weight like rows or lat pulldowns. At the top and bottom, the two cable ends of each weight stack can easily be used together for more resistance.

Adjustability options for cable handles

The two handles on the uprights can be set to 31 different heights positions and swivel 180°. This guarantees maximum freedom of movement and exercise variety. Additionally, the low cables can be used for low rows or bicep curls, while the upper cables are great for exercising the lats and triceps. Train with either a single weight stack or both by using only one cable or two at a time.

The SG2 comes with a comprehensive set of cable attachments. These include a triceps rope, two D-handles, a short bar, a lat pulldown bar, an ankle strap and two extension chains and carabiner clips.

Without the Smith & Rack module, the Super Gym SG2 is one of the more compact free-standing cable towers.

Additional exercise options with the Super Gym SG2

The SG2 can be expanded with the addition of a barbell training module. The Smith & Rack add-on connects to the uprights of the base-model SG2. This gives you a Smith machine for guided barbell movements and also a half-rack including a set of spotter arms and cups for free barbell training.

And last but not least, we strongly recommend getting an adjustable weight bench like the B900 from Taurus since it offers a useful and safe support for many exercises like chest presses and crossovers which are less stable when performed while standing.
