Best ValueRank #3 in All-in-One Home Gyms
Major Fitness Drone3 Smith Machine
by MAJOR FITNESS
Score
The under-$800 step between the Roygym and the Drone2: the listing states a Smith bar on linear bearings, a power cage, a dual-pulley cable crossover, a T-bar row and a squat station on 2x2-inch uprights rated to 2,500 lb. Same brand as the top pick, and only 34 ratings so far, so the owner record is thin.
- Home lifters who want a Smith machine, cable crossover and landmine-style T-bar row in one frame for under $800.
- You want a long owner-review record before buying, or 3x3-inch uprights for heavy free-barbell work.

Common questions
How is the Drone3 different from the Drone2?
Both are Major Fitness Smith-machine all-in-ones. The Drone3 listing adds a T-bar row and a squat station and costs less; the Drone2 has the longer owner record and a 1:1 cable ratio by default.
What pulley ratio does the Drone3 use?
The listing states the ratio changes with the swing frames: one frame gives 2:1, two frames give 1:1.

Ranked alternatives from the same category, with our score and the current price.
The Amazon-shipped all-in-one and this page's top pick. The listing states a Smith machine, power cage, dual cable crossover with a 1:1 pulley ratio, pull-up station and a 2,000 lb capacity, sold by Major Fitness's own store. It does not publish a cable stack weight, and with 38 ratings its owner record is still thin.
Budget Smith machine + cable + leg developer combo. Plate-loaded (you supply the weights), bench included, and the largest owner-review record of the Smith machines here: 4.4 on Amazon from 1,438 ratings. Sold by a third-party seller at or under the maker's price.
Tonal 2
Wall-mounted digital strength trainer with two electromagnetic resistance arms delivering up to 250 lb of resistance. 4.1 on Amazon from 12 ratings, too few to score; Amazon.com sells it at $4,590 against $4,295 direct. Tonal requires a 12-month initial membership commitment at $59.95 a month.
The folding all-in-one pick. Bodyweight incline resistance rather than plates, 400 lb user capacity, and it folds to 9 inches deep — the practical choice when the gym shares a room. Sold by Total Gym's own Amazon store, 4.7 on Amazon from 1,036 ratings.
The sub-$600 entry into this category. The listing now sells a Smith machine home gym: a Smith bar on linear bearings with safety stops, a power cage and a dual-pulley 1:1 cable crossover in 18.3 sq ft. With 40 ratings the owner record is still thin, and the listing states no load capacity.
