You have now seen the individual components which make up a functional trainer. By combining one or more of these attributes, you create a machine that works the entire body.
The Best All in One Home Gym is a very subjective title
While researching the many types of exercise equipment, we became intrigued, as well. Ooh, maybe we should get that instead! Oh wow, I didn’t know that existed! It’s been a pleasurable adventure.
Still, we prefer that the more the Functional Trainer can provide, the more well rounded it will be. No matter how we wish to target the muscle, we have the equipment available to do so.
You can do so much with any of the Home Gym equipment we have shared with you. By adding an additional component to it supercharges it.
While researching Smith Machines, we found great enhancements such as dual cable systems, pec deck, dip bars, pull/chin up bar, etc. The list continues to your heart’s content.
But in the end, what matters is what you want in your home gym. One thing is for certain… you will find your All in One Home Gym here!
We find it important to include the strongest, safest, and most versatile All in One Functional Trainers for you to compare and consider. By versatile, we mean that you should not need to compromise or substitute an exercise due to the equipment not being available. There will be enough attachments, weight, and safety components available for your ultimate home gym workout.
We have broken down the All in One Home Gym options into the following categories
- Smith Machine with Adjustable Plate Cable System
- Smith Machine with Adjustable Stack Cable System
- Non-Smith Machine Rack System with Adjustable Cable Stacks
- The True All in One Home Gym
Remember: You can find the individual components to the list of combined groups above on our Best All in One Functional Trainers page.
Also, we prefer the pulley ratio to be 1:1, so we’ll be sure to point that out, on each piece of equipment. 1:1 means that pulling 100 lb. feels like 100 1b, where 2:1 feels like 50 lb. What’s the point of a 400 lb. stack if it feels like 200 lb.? But to be fair, if the first plate weighs 19 lb, and you need 10 lb for those one arm lateral shoulder raises… Houston, we have a problem! So, take your time to recognize the pros and cons when finding your preferred All in One Home Gym.

The True All in One Home Gym
Force USA
G20 All in One Trainer ($5,999.99)
Remember, we’re talking about 11 pieces of equipment built into one, making the ultimate All in One Home Gym. There is enough equipment and room for 3 people to use simultaneously! Especially if you add the Lat Row Station Upgrade.
Here’s the thing… you’ve been looking at the Smith Machines, the Stacked Cable machines, the Squat Racks, etc. You can purchase multiple pieces to fit your needs… or you could buy one piece of equipment that can do them all. It really comes down to the order of your exercises and how you need to change between exercises. As for working with gym partner, there is enough room and variety that you should both be able to workout without much bumping into each other. This one is on top of our list for our home gym!!
Foot print: 72″ W x 67″ D x 91″ H. You’ll need 8’2″ ceiling clearance to do a full pull-up.
Combined Strength Training Machines: 11 in 1. Over 400 exercises! Power Rack, Cable Machine, Smith Machine, Leg Press, Chin-up Station, Dip Station, Core Trainer, Suspension Trainer, Low Row, Lat Pulldown, Calf Raise, VersaPad (padded plank attachment).

- Low row station with slip resistant footplate
- Foldable Dip bar station with 5 adjustment points
- Additional 289 lb. weight stack with cables

Cable System: 1:1 pulley system. Yes, 578 lb. of available weight combined with the two stacks! And you can still add resistance bands if you’re a sadist. Mwahahaha!
Here’s the challenge with a 1:1 ratio: Fractional increases between the stacked plates may be too far apart for small, progressive overloading. You can stick a 2.5 lb. or 5 lb. plate on the pin to aid in that fractional weight increase.
Smith Machine: Need Olympic plates to use. Not attached to the Cable System.
The Force USA G20 includes the most attachments, stack weights, workout stations, and exercise possibilities available in one, single strength training system. 11 gauge commercial grade steel tubing construction, convenient walkthrough design for workout transitions and spotter assist, 51 rack adjustment points, 3 chin-up bars, band pegs, 10 x Olympic plate pegs, and on and on and on.
Well built. Actual 1:1 pulley ratio, meaning that 100 lb. pulls as 100 lb. HUGE weight stacks at 2 x 289 lb. If you are pulling both stacks, you have our admiration!!
Warranty – Limited Lifetime. 2 year cables & pulleys. 90-day upholstery wear & tear.
