Q: How is the Ironmaster machine different from a typical Smith machine?
A: Smith machines lock out backwards - Ironmaster locks out forwards in a much quicker and natural movement. The sliding system is super smooth with virtually no noise. The lockout points are only 1.7" apart so you can never get stuck. The size of the machine is more compact and the number of exercises you can do are much greater.

Q: How smooth is the Ironmaster lifting bar?
A: The Ironmaster has virtually no drag! The Ironmaster eliminates impure resistance forces, such pinch rollers, cables and linear bearings. The patented sliding system uses special bushings that slide very quietly and smoothly and will not bind up.

Q: How much room do I need for the IM2000?
A: The IM2000 is very space efficient for being a full size machine. It has a footprint of only 48" x 48". It is 84.5" high. The lifting bar is 73" wide so we recommend a floor space of about 7' wide x 5' deep.

Q: Does the Ironmaster come with weights?
A: No. Weights are sold separately so you can buy just what you need. Most customers buy weights locally to use on their Ironmaster machines. This saves shipping costs and any brand of weights will fit, Olympic or Standard style.

Q: Why does the Ironmaster cost more than other home machines advertised in various magazines and store?
A: The Ironmaster is made out of heavier material, has a higher quality finish, has a better self-spotting system and uses more expensive and advanced technology. To build a guided barbell system that works well, close tolerances must be held and the right materials used for the sliding system. Those other machines just don’t meet the criteria. They have excessive drag and have a tendency to bind. Our machines work as advertised and the others don’t. Another very important feature is that all Ironmaster units include the integrated multi-function bench. Not only is this a huge value but our bench will go into any position and is specifically designed to work with the machine.

Q: How long has Ironmaster been in business?
A: We have been building the very best weight lifting equipment for over 25 years. We have continued to advance our designs over the years with innovative engineering to offer the best equipment money can buy. Our customer service is first rate and you will be personally supported. This is one reason why over 1/3 of our sales come from customer referrals!

Q: Are Ironmaster products sold in stores? Do you offer a guarantee?
A: We have a few qualified dealers in certain parts of the country; however, Ironmaster primarily sells direct to the consumer. Because many customers can’t try our equipment before they buy, we offer a risk-free, 30-day, trial period to prove our confidence in your satisfaction. In the unlikely event you chose to return your equipment, we will refund 100% of the purchase including all shipping costs. No other fitness equipment company offers this guarantee.

Q: What do Ironmaster customers have to say about the self spotting machines over the years?
A:"I'm glad I chose Ironmaster to outfit my home gym! The combination of the IM2000, Super Bench and Quick-Lock Dumbell Set doesn’t even take up HALF of my spare bedroom, yet this equipment enables me to perform practically unlimited exercises.
