Is This the Smoothest Functional Trainer Ever? The Jungle Gym Reviews Puts the GFT100 to the Test

“The Body Solid GFT100 is easily one of, if not the smoothest, functional trainer I have ever used. With a lifetime warranty on nearly all wear parts, it’s a good potential option for a cable machine.”

When The Jungle Gym Reviews puts a piece of equipment to the test for months, we listen. After extensive training sessions, his verdict is in: the Body-Solid GFT100 Functional Trainer is one of—if not the—smoothest functional trainers he has ever used.

The Body-Solid GFT100 Functional Trainer is a heavy-duty powerhouse designed to fit where other commercial machines can’t. Constructed with 11-gauge 2” x 3” steel and finished in a sleek black powder coat, it’s built to withstand the toughest workouts while maximizing your floor space.

  • Precision Engineering: Features a 1:2 resistance ratio, providing smooth, incremental weight adjustments and an exceptional range of motion for everything from cable flys to lunges.
  • Customizable Power: Comes standard with dual 160 lb. weight stacks, with easy upgrade options to 210 lb. or 310 lb. as your strength grows.
  • Total Versatility: Fully adjustable swiveling pulleys and an integrated chinning bar allow for unlimited exercise variety—including pull-ups, leg raises, and more.
  • Full Accessory Suite: Includes aluminum stirrup handles, a triceps rope, a chin/dip belt, and a double swivel bar, all of which stay organized on the integrated accessory rack.
