Benefits of the Jones Machine

Posted on April 26, 2012 by

The BodyCraft Jones Machine is the next generation of smith machine. Think of it as a 3-D Smith, moving in all three planes! Or, lock it into place for traditional smith machine exercises. Its revolutionary design allows you to perform an unlimited number of exercises. The Jones Machine gives you the freedom of a power cage with the safety of a smith machine.

  • Moves Horizontally & Vertically – The BodyCraft Jones Machine has two planes of movement!
  • Three Dimensions of Motion – BodyCraft’s patented 3-D barbell motion provides for an almost unlimited array of exercises. Smith Machines move vertically only.
  • Utilizes The Body’s Natural Movement – The Jones moves both vertically and horizontally, allowing for natural, unlimited, user-defined motion.
  • Unlimited Versatility – Because the bodyʼs natural movements can be utilized within the Jones, all free weight exercise can be performed as if you were working in a Power Cage.
  • Safety – It is the safest free weight device ever made for the solo lifter. Think of it as a power rack where the bar hooks and safety spotters move along with every movement you make!
  • Traditional Smith Machine – By merely switching a pin, you can turn the Jones Machine into a traditional Smith Machine for movement in a single, vertical plane.
  • Active Balance Bar – The optional bar is yet another way the Jones Machine is set above the rest. The Active Balance Bar is tested to 1000 lbs and doesn’t stay in a linear plane – each end moves independently requiring lateral balancing just like a barbell. Using the bar requires synergistic muscle groups to stabilize the bar – improving the quality of the workout.
  • Jones Models – Our Fitness Exchange Sales Professionals are excited about this revolutionary machine. If you’d like to learn more about which model would be right for you, please Click Here To Contact Us.
