Is the Smith machine safe to use alone without a spotter?
Yes. The guided Smith barbell features rotating safety lockout hooks and heavy-duty adjustable spotter catches, allowing you to train to failure safely without a training partner.
What is the cable pulley ratio on the functional trainer?
The functional trainer features a commercial 2:1 pulley ratio, which delivers extended, ultra-smooth cable travel ideal for functional training, crossovers, and explosive movements.
How are the racks shipped, and how long does delivery take?
All FCORE systems ship via insured freight delivery in reinforced wooden crates within 3–7 business days across the continental US. Liftgate curbside delivery is included.
Does the power rack need to be bolted to the floor?
No. The wide-base footprint and heavy-gauge structural steel frame provide extreme free-standing stability under heavy loads. However, pre-drilled floor mounting anchor holes are included if you choose to bolt it down for commercial or high-traffic facilities.
What type of flooring or mat do I need under the rack?
We recommend placing standard 3/8" or 3/4" heavy-duty rubber gym tiles (or stall mats) beneath the rack to protect your flooring, dampen sound, and absorb vibration during heavy lifts.
What size weight plates fit on the Smith machine and cable posts?
All FCORE Smith barbells, plate-loaded cable horns, and integrated storage pegs are precision-engineered for standard 2-inch Olympic weight plates.
