It takes just one piece of kit to turn your home gym into a all-round setup that leaves no body part ignored. The IM2000 smith type machine is the most versatile, innovative, adaptable bit of kit we offer.

IronmasterUK IM2000 chin up bar demo

This space-saving design turns the smallest of spaces into a full gym, shrinking everything you could want down to one piece of incredible kit.

“The IM2000 is the absolute staple in home gym fitness. With its small 4”×4” footprint there is absolutely no rival for what it can do for its size. The design is so simple yet pure genius, and you can tell a lot of thought went into this machine. Cable workouts ranging from lat work to cable bicep curls, free weight bench press, Smith machine shoulder work. You name it can do it and do it extremely well.” – Mark N

Strength, durability, and safety are the foundations of this innovative design. Ironmaster wouldn’t be happy to call this a true self-spotting system unless the entire thing was safe, easy to use, and instinctive. As a result, the lock outs are supported by secondary safety stops and springs which will feel second nature. After all, we know there’s no time to think when you’re about to go to failure.

This is commercial grade kit for serious home use. An investment in the IM2000 is an investment in your training, your strength, and your fitness for life. Choose Ironmaster as your partner in strength and let us help you build a home gym to be proud of.

Ironmaster IM2000. This is so much more than a Smith machine!

Whether your home gym was purpose-built to your specific design, or you train in a tiny space like a garage, you still need to maximise the space you’ve got. That’s one of the key challenges of any home gym set-up.

Which is why we love the IM2000. This one bit of kit allows you to do almost every exercise you could need… even vertical leg press. Ironmaster says the IM2000 lets you work every body part in at least three different ways. Take a look at the IM2000 and see if there’s anything it can’t do! Squat. Press. Pull. Push.

The IM2000 lets you do it all, safely and securely no matter what space you’re working in. Our innovative self-spotting machine has been designed by the experts at Ironmaster to let you train safely at home without any limitations.

Ironmaster has refined the IM2000 over decades of research and user feedback. The result is the most complete, reliable, and innovative space saving kit you can buy for home use. The quick-lock guided barbell system is not just a Smith machine, it’s an innovative patented design which is amazingly versatile.

Why Choose A Self Spotting Machine For Home Use?

In an ideal world, you’d be able to squat, press, push, or pull your top weight with total confidence every time. (Although, thinking about it, isn’t the element of uncertainty part of the thrill?) You’d never need a spotter to be there in case failure comes sooner than expected when you’re repping it out.

But the reality of lifting serious weights is different. It’s impossible to be 100% confident every single time you unrack the bar or send heavy dumbbells overhead.

Which is why a truly reliable self-spotting system is a must-have for every home gym. With the IM2000, you can rep out to failure or go for heavy low rep work with total confidence. After all, you need to focus on your rep, not worry about what could be.

With a self-spotting system for your home gym, you’ll actually make better progress than if you tried to go it alone with standalone barbells or dumbbells, because the extra confidence will allow you to keep going until you reach true failure.

The IM2000’s self-spotting system protects you in more than one way. The lockout points are only 1.7’’ apart, but there are also secondary safety stops and springs for total peace of mind.

The lifting bar sliding system on the IM2000 will be the smoothest you’ve ever used. Unlike Smith machines (which use linear ball bearings), the IM2000 uses a slide bushing and slide rail system which is unique to Ironmaster. This means no parts with a limited life span, no need for constant lubrication with messy grease, and no friction resistance. Ironmaster uses a polymer material bushing that slides over specially coated slide rails (not simple plastic sliding on metal!) As a result, the IM2000 is smooth and quiet, feels amazing, and will keep performing well after decades of heavy use.

“It’s well built & solid like all the other Ironmaster products. The cables are smooth, the smith machine is smooth, I LOVE IT! I’m an Ironmaster customer for life!” – Benjamin L.

This is why the IM2000 is the choice of schools, police departments, fire departments, and personal training gyms – as well as home gyms like yours.

Replaces Dozens Of Bits Of Kit

This multi-gym space saver features a lifting bar with Olympic adapters, standard plate holders, lat pulldown bar, upper and lower pulley/cable system. The main frame, which is just 125cm by 125cm square, and 215cm high, is made from quality materials with a focus on solid durability. The IM2000 by itself allows you to do a vast range of upper, lower, push, pull, and full body exercises in total safety. But add the Super Bench or Ironmaster attachments and the IM2000 can turn into a true all-rounder. For many people, it’s the centrepiece of their home gym, replacing dozens of other bits of kit.

Exercises to try with the IM2000

IronmasterUK Chest

Barbell Press

Train your pecs with a barbell press. Set the weight bench to the desired angle and  get into the starting position.  Use a medium width grip that forms a 90 degree angle between the upper arms and the forearms when the barbell is at your chest. Un-rack the bar and hold it directly over you with straight arms. Lower the bar slowly until it touches your lower chest then press the bar back up, focusing on your chest and contracting your pecs. When your set is completed, re-rack the bar.

IronmasterUK Middle Back

V-Bar Seated Cable Rows

Train your middle back and lats with this exercise. Fit the Low Row Foot Plate to either the IM2000 Smith Machine or the Cable Tower, add the required weight and sit on the floor with your feet on the plate and your legs slightly bent (not locked). Lean forward, keeping your back straight, and grab the V-bar handle.
With your arms extended, pull back until your body forms a 90 degree angle with your legs. Keeping your chest out and your back slightly arched, you will feel a stretch in your lats as you hold the bar in front of you in the starting position. Keep your torso stationary and pull the V-bar towards you until it touches your abdomen while squeezing your back muscles. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat.

IronmasterUK Upper Back

Straight Bar Seated Cable Rows

Perform the same movements as above, but use either a pronated grip (palms facing down) or supinated grip (palms facing up) with a straight bar.

This is just a tiny list of the exercises you could do with this package!

IM2000 Self Spotting Machine

37 reviews for IM2000 Self Spotting Machine

  1. I’ve been using the IM2000 for a little over two years and I’ve gotta say I just Love this machine! It was a gift from my wife for my 55th birthday. She was sick of hearing me complain about dumping my barbell first on my chest, and then to the floor after failing my last rep. Man that used to really tick me off. Well, the IM2000 is the answer. I can now max out my reps SAFELY ! To be honest, I was a bit skeptical of a smith type machine without a bearing rail system. I thought the sliders on the rails would have a tendency to “stick”. I assembled the IM2000 myself in less than two hours without any problems. The instruction manual was very legible. And to my delight, the bar moved up and down with NO sticking whatsoever. Soooo smooth! All the attachments and accessories we’ve purchased are extremely well made and also have a nice smooth action. It takes no more than a minute or two to swap out cables for your next set of exercises.We had minimal space in our exercise room but the IM2000 fit with room to spare. This is a very versatile piece of equipment and for the money, you won’t find a better quality home gym system. I would strongly recommend the wheel kit for the super bench because it’s a beast.

  2. Incredible Product. I got my IM2000 as a demo from the store and when it shipped, it was missing a few pieces. Ironmaster squared me up right away and mailed me the missing pieces so I could finish building it, talk about customer service!! Now onto the machine, it’s well built & solid like all the other Ironmaster products. It tucks just underneath my garage door (literally 2″) and really is an all in 1 machine. The cables are smooth, the smith machine is smooth, I LOVE IT! I’m an Ironmaster customer for life!

  3. IM2000 is Fantastic
    This equipment is a thing of beauty. My wife (who doesn’t lift and never did, although she’s athletic, a skier, yoga, etc.) came back from an overseas trip today (she missed the delivery, the install, and the cleanup) to find all this neatly set up and ready to go, including the alien-looking organizer w/ all the attachments hanging on it, and said, “It looks fantastic”. It does.

  4. Love it! This equipment is fantastic! Extremely tough, yet compact. You can do all your free weight exercises, and add the smith machine wherever you like. The cable system is as smooth as silk. You can even do low rows on this machine! The pec dec is fantastic, and the bench is the toughest I’ve seen. I would highly recommend this to anyone that is serious about a home gym. The people at Ironmaster are fantastic to work with. You wont be disappointed.

  6. All the Ironmaster equipment i have purchased has surpassed my expectations in functionality, usability and simplicity. The innovative team at Ironmaster continue to bring out new upgrades or tweaks to there equipment, saving the end user on having buy new equipment every few years. I have had my IronMaster2000 since 2006 and have been slowly been adding to the training collection.

  8. Awesome, full-range machine in a small package. I had mine customized to fit my shorter basement ceilings (had a couple inches taken off at the factory) and it has met my needs well. I have been working out for years and wanted to add a leg press and smith machine element to my home gym. My space is limited and the Ironmaster 2000 met my specs, particularly that it is multifunctional and can handle serious weight. It and the bench are solid, quality products that have met my needs at 500+ for leg presses and 400+ for squats…

  9. Best gym equipment for your home. The IM2000 is the absolute staple in home gym fitness. With its small 4×4 foot print there is absolutely no rival for what it can do for its size. The design is so simple yet pure genius, and you can tell a lot of thought went into this machine. Cable workouts ranging from lat work to cable bicep curls, free weight bench press, Smith machine shoulder work. You name it can do it and do it extremely well. I just ordered the new olympic bar holders and spotting arms and can’t wait to get them.

  14. I finally made the purchase after a two year delay, my only regret now was waiting this long to buy this beauty, it does everything I need for a full body workout, IronMaster IM 2000 has exceeded my expectations and anyone thinking about buying one should. I love it’s compact design, I was worried about the size since I planned on setting it up in my bedroom, but after careful planning it fits perfectly with plenty of room to spare, I already had my IronMaster Super Bench from a previous purchase from IronMaster, so I ended up buy the IM 2000 attachments separately
    1) bar hooks
    2) spotting arms
    3) dip handles
    4) ultimate chin-up bar
    I spent more than I wanted but worth every penny. I really enjoy the fact that not only is it a machine but buying the spotting arms and bar hooks it’s a free weight rack too. The IM 2000 feels exactly like free weights so if your bench pressing 270 with free weights it will be exactly that with the IM 2000, it’s a wonderful design that no other machine can match, I’m a very happy customer thank you IronMaster.

  15. I originally dismissed this because I thought it was just a smith machine, but this is the best quality weightlifting unit on the market. You will not find anything more versatile for the price and space. I know because I tried finding it, and saw everything else out there you can buy. If you’re like me, and scoured all over seeing what was available and were antsy about deciding, this is the one to get.

    The IM2000 does a lot despite its sturdy 4×4 footprint. It will hold all of your weights, give you a high and low pulley, work as a free bar half rack, leg press, dip station, pec dec, and of course, a smith machine. It does all of these things well and with few compromises too. Elsewhere, they have some really nice units you can get that do some of the things this does, they cost many orders of magnitude more, they don’t hold your weights, and they tend to be bigger than my entire apartment. They’re also really convoluted in their construction and have a bunch of moving parts that can and do break, needing regularly and costly replacement. The only thing on this that can break is me when I’m using it. I’ve met people with the older units that have the same basic mechanisms to them, and they work just as well now as when they got them some 20-30 years ago. That’s why they give you a lifetime warranty: you won’t use it.

    If you get the free bar attachments and spotting arms, as a half rack, this thing is also solid. Nothing like the cheap stuff you’ll find in a sporting goods store. You can even bolt it down if you want the extra support, but I’ve found no need, even when racking and unracking over 400lbs.

    I like the high and low pulleys better than those I’ve found in any gym I’ve been to, largely because they give 1:1 resistance for the weight you put on there, and they’re rated for 350lbs. Most cables machines in a gym have you lifting a fraction of what’s listed on the weight stacks, which tend to only go up to 200lbs at that. I’m a strong guy, and I will never max out the weight I can put on this cable for any exercise. My only complaint is that the lifting bar weighs 30lbs, making that the lowest weight you can use on a pulley, but I found easy ways around that. If you have a small weight plate with a handle opening on it, you can easily place the hook that normally goes around the lifting bar through that. Additionally, if you have the Quicklock dumbbells, you can place the hook around the handle there, and it works just as well. You have to be careful not to let it go too low and hit the bar, but you’d only be doing this for 2 to 27.5 lbs, so it’s not an issue.

    The smith machine is also great, has no moving parts or bearings to break, and glides like glass if you keep it lubed. It’s also easier to lock and unlock than a commercial smith machine, and has a wider array of heights to do that at.

    I’ve had mine for a while now, and I really love it. It works as well as the day I got it. I mostly wish I’d gotten it sooner. On its own, it’s a solid unit. With some cheap accessories like the free bar holders, leg press plate, or pull-up attachment, it’s suddenly a 4×4 fully featured gym. Be sure to get the dumbbells and bench too. Mine’s fully decked out and I have no regrets, only gains. This is one of the greatest purchases I’ve ever made, next to buying a dog.

  17. Bought recently, was easy to assemble, very sturdy unit.. great quality. Did my first workout yesterday (chest day) very happy with it! Very small foot space for a machine that offers a very large amount of different exercises. I’ll be sure to leave another review after a year or two of usage!

  18. Love it. I was hesitant at first because the attached bar connection wasn’t using ball bearings to track but it is super smooth. Tried 315lb bench to test and it worked great and felt safe. This machine allows me to do everything including leg presses which was the only thing I thought I would miss with my gym membership. Works like a charm and takes up a small amount of space.

  19. I did qiute a bit of shopping around before I decided to pull the trigger on this one, yes that is a lot of money but there is nothing out there that compares to it, for all the things that you can do with it in a small space. Yes, I had to wait for awhile because they were out of stock but it was worth it. I knew the quality was there, because I’ve already bought the super bench pro and attachments, so I knew that everything that has Ironmaster stamped on it is top notch. And this unit didn’t disappoint either. I could have gotten away with the IM1500 half rack, but because my wife will be using it also the self spotting Smith machine had to be considered. I live this machine, the operation of the pulleys and the Smith machine is as smooth as any gym machine in a very small place. Everything works as intended.

  20. I can’t say enough great things about this machine. It can be used in so many ways, it is unbelievable. I have the Ultimate chinup attachment, low row pulley plate, and the last pec dec attachment. I am so impressed by how smooth it operates. You don’t have to buy the first can of Silicone spray as it comes in the box included with your purchase. It took 10 days to come in the mail. Ups let me know exactly where my packages were at all times. The IM2000 comes in 3 boxes and does not take that long to put together. I will be purchasing all the other accessories for it by September and I can’t wait to use it with a free weight barbell and getting more weights. The price that you spend is so worth it as you can take it apart and throw it into a honda accord if you had to travel with it. The machine will last me 30 years or more and this company is only going to invent more attachments in the future that can make our training more intense. I LOVE THIS MACHINE SO MUCH.

  21. I bought all my home gym stuff from Ironmaster including the cable tower, IM2000 rack, super bench pro with leg, ab and preacher curl attachment. Also the olympic bar, bicep curl bar, collars, land mine attachment, leg press attachment, J hooks, safety rack attachment for squats, dip bars, 415 lbs. plate set 8 45 lb plates. I also bought the 150 lb dumbell set 5 years ago. I love Ironmaster, everything they make is quality and the best value for your money.

  22. Two main tips for this monster:

    1. If you ordered the “Ultimate Chin Up attachment” please read the installation instructions for it first, this attachment comes with its own set of bolts that you use to connect to the IM2000, this will save you 10 minutes of bolting and unbolting.
    2. The base of the IM2000 has two main arms, both are labeled R and L, mine for whatever reason were switched. The best way to differentiate them apart “big hole is supposed to be on the bottom, small hole is supposed to be on the top” if you mix them up, you’ll have a hard time attaching the uprights. Luckily I didn’t run into that issue and somehow at 10:00PM saw the small fine print which made notes of the difference.

    Otherwise, this is one SOLID piece of machinery, easy to put together and well worth the 3 months wait.

  23. This equipment definitely exceeds expectations. I had the choice between the model below and this one and I am so happy I decided to spend a little more. Like everyone during the pandemic I have dropped my gym membership since its not worth the risk. This addition to my home gym was the single biggest investment with the best payoff. Not only can I do a multitude of exercises securely and without a spotter, the add -ons like the band pegs, landmine attachment and soon to be ordered pull up attachment means there isn’t much I can’t do. I have not more excuses!

    Assembly was straightforward and only two sections required a second set of hands. My assembly went quickly as I had a socket set and cordless impact driver. Probably took me well under two hours, I think I spent more time moving the boxes and unpacking the parts. Given the lengthy supply chain if you decide to go with this machine order all the accessories you can. The only thing missing now is the pull up attachment and a set of adjustable dumbbells.

    The only improvement I could suggest is a set of stickers to mark where the safety stops should go. I ended up using yellow electrical tape just to make changeovers between my spouse and I quicker. Definitely worth it.

  24. Very pleased with system. Works as advertised.
    Key points:
    – straight forward assembly
    – extremely stable with nice solid components
    – minimal yet adequate foot print
    – smooth bushing action and easy disengagement of the carriage hooks
    – smooth cable system
    – nice recoil springs to eliminate major noise when lowering the bar or to provide a spot

    All and all very well thought out Minimalist approach to home gym system with commercial grade components.

    Strongly recommend to anyone looking to forego or to supplement to their commercial gym membership!

  25. My girlfriend has asked me for years to make a home gym, but I always thought it was silly for us, since we lived 1 block away from a major gym with everything I could ever need.
    Then COVID came, and I soon realized the wisdom she had (and had a few I told-you-so moments as well lol). It took a while, but once I was able to get my hands on the IM-2000, I quit my gym and embraced the garage gym life.
    Quite frankly, it is so much better.
    First off, I was able to assemble the IM-2000 by myself in a couple of hours. It is well engineered, and the instructions are very easy to follow. It would definitely be easier with two people, but it is manageable even alone with some creativity. The cage itself is super efficient. It has just about everything you would need, high and low cable pulleys, integrated weight racks, smith machine, spotting arms, J cups, pull up bars, band attachments, land mine attachment, and a few more things I’m missing.
    It’s been a few months for me now, and I’m loving it. I have used every part of the IM-2000 (I got just about every add-on), and they all work wonderfully well. I had some heavy lifts to failure that the spotting arms did their job well with no problems and earned their keep. Smith machine portion of the IM-2000 works great as a calf raise machine. Pull ups, dips, lat pull downs, rows, all work smoothly. Switching out attachments is quick and easy.
    I have found working out at home to save me a lot of time, and I haven’t had to compromise my workouts in the slightest thanks to the ingenuity of the Ironmaster team. The fact that they fit so much functionality in such a small footprint with top quality construction, great pricing. Thank you!

  26. Been meaning to write a review for this item for a while now. I used to own a powertec full rack with a cable tower back when I had a whole lot more space. Had to sell that when I moved. When I checked out the specs and footprint on the IM2000 I decided I’d give it a go and make it fit. I’ve had no regrets and I’ve been amazed at how compact this unit is. The build quality and construction of the unit is extremely high. When compared to the powertec, the IM2000’s steel is thicker and heavier. Also the paint is of higher quality and is less likely to chip. My powertec cage was very poorly packed and some pieces actually arrived bent. Never had that issue with Ironmaster. The versatility this cage offers is really an engineering feat. I love how the low pulley/lat rollers can be swung to the side or even removed. I purchased the bar hooks and spotters too so I have a total gym experience. Also the smith bar glides so smoothly. Now all I need is some luck with the dumbbell lottery and I’ll have EVERYTHING I need at home! Great product and company.

  27. I am thoroughly impressed with the IM2000 self spotting machine. This thing is so versatile it’s insane! With the available attachments on offer every single exercise you can imagine can be done with this machine alone. I have all attachments currently on offer for this guy and it has completely replaced my need for a gym membership as I can do everything with this one machine that I could in the gym full of equipment. Pulley systems are on point, and provide the necessary variety needed to perform all manner of cable exercises. I actually prefer this over getting a cable machine functional trainer has that adds unnecessary complexity and cost. This thing is awesome at this price point and doesn’t disappoint as the quality over all and movement with the plastic bushings instead of bearings is unmatched. I’m used to the ball bearing type assisted smith machines you find at the gym and after using the plastic bushing on rails type I’ll never go back to the ball bearing systems. No snag and drag what-so-ever and action is extremely smooth with no play. Maintenance is also easy; just lightly coat the rails with dry silicon spray around every 30 days and you’re done. Been using it for around a year and still functions as it did brand new out of box (post-assembly). If you’re on the fence, I’d say you’re safe to pull the trigger as the IM2000 is an awesome rack, can support a significant amount of weight which will cover any lifters requirements, and is the most versatile for the price. Sure there are more complex (and more expensive) systems out there, but there’s definitely beauty in simplicity (and cost savings without sacrificing versatility). Now if only they’d bring back the Pec Dec attachment… Keep up the good work, Ironmaster

  28. Thank you!
    Thank you to the great minds who made this machine, after looking so long like most for the ultimate gym equipment this was like a Godsend, so extremely happy with my purchase! Built like a tank, everything works so well and after the first use, you will instantly love the genius behind it all. Assembly can be done with one person (if you are strong) but I would suggest at a minimum two people but if you have more it’s better. Maintenance is easy; some silicone spray from time to time and that’s it! Buy it and your body will thank you.

  29. Great cage
    I purchased this machine in order to safely lift at home. Took a while for me to get it assembled and in use but I am very pleased. All the parts were present including every nut and bolt and washer along with needed allen wrenches. I assembled it myself on a Saturday afternoon without any difficulty – took me about 4 hours from moving the cartons into the room through loading the rack with my plates.

    The action is very smooth as others have mentioned. I have yet to find the perfect way to string up the upper cable when not in use but it is out of the way. Quality is top notch. I have yet to use some of the attachments but look forward to it (especially the leg press plate). I am certain this will provide service throughout the rest of my days and easily outlive me. Stupid easy to recommend, especially when on sale!

  30. Just wow!
    Insane as I will NEVER sell mine! That said, having now used it for some months all I can say is WOW! This is hands down the best and most versatile piece of equipment that I am lucky enough to own.

    I have purchased a LOT of equipment over the years and have left a few reviews on the equipment. This is yet another GLOWING report on the IM2000.

    Footprint – This is a small piece for what it delivers. It sits on 2x2sqm. The weight carriers are built into the machine and work really well. It does not stick out at all.

    Smith – Smooth smooth smooth. Its vertical up and down and it goes well. There are many lockout points too so no matter what your preferred lift of position is, this has you covered.

    Power Rack – I was lucky enough to have the rack attachments too so I can use this as a regular rack. Again it does not disappoint. Whatever lift you want to do, you can do it here.

    Pulldown – It works as described. The only weird thing is having to sit down, but if its a choice between no pulldown and sitting on the floor, I`m taking it.

    Seated Row – This is really nice. Solid pull and hits the lats nicely.

    Regular cable exercises on the high and low pulley – The start weight is pretty heavy so you won’t (unlikely) be using this for single arm cable rat raises, but for all other exercises it works well – pulldown/curls etc are all great.

    This coupled with the ironmaster dumbbells I bought from here a while back give me a very comprehensive set of exercises with a small footprint.

    Overall this is a top tier piece of home gym equipment. 10/10 would recommend and 10/10 will never sell it!

  31. The gear is fantastic; I love it! I’ll wait a while before ordering the leg extension kit, but i think it will be a great addition to my gym.

  33. Best Decision Ever
    I wanted to get back into training but while the place we moved had a decent amount of space, no rack, no matter how small would fit. But then…I remembered that I use and love the Ironmaster DBs…and so started taking measurements…then had to wait…and wait…and wait (thank you COVID). But it came and shipping was fast and not expensive. It’s solid, is very quiet when I live and my wife loves it. With the bench and other accessories, I want for nothing. I’m very happy to have gone “all in” with Ironmaster. The goods are quality.

  35. Great Smith Machine
    Works for bench, and squat. High quality, and rarely needs lubricant to be applied.

  36. I have been blown away with the quality of this equipment. If you are on the fence about investing in an IM2000 and the bench with some attachments, i would highly recommend you go for it. You will not be disappointed. All the equipment, bench, etc are impressive and built like tanks. The self spotting rack is smooth, the bench is solid, the leg extension piece is solid as well. I’m really glad i went with this system for my home. I would agree with all the other 5 star reviews that have been posted. I really love it and have been re-energized into lifting and using this machine for all it can do.

  37. Amazing piece of kit. Probably the best I’ve owned. I had a levergym previously which felt flimsy in comparison to the IM2000. Very versatile a great all in one piece of home gym equipment.

    The customer service is great excellent too. My ultimate row handle had a faulty part. James took time out to personally deliver this to me.
