Best Fitness by Body-Solid — the entry point to functional training
Best Fitness by Body-Solid — the entry point to functional training
BBF is Best Fitness, the value line made by Body-Solid, the Illinois manufacturer that has been building strength equipment since 1994. Best Fitness takes the Body-Solid approach — functional trainers, benches, racks — and strips it back to the pieces that matter for a home gym.
We stock the BFFT10 Functional Trainer at $960. It is the most affordable way into cable-based training without buying a machine you cannot service.
The specification sheet is short and honest, which is the point of a value line. Here is what it means in a room.
A single 190 lb stack with 19 pulley positions, so the same machine covers chest press, rows, lat work and leg work. Nineteen positions is what makes it usable by two people of different heights.
The pulleys rotate through 180 degrees, so the cable path can follow a movement instead of forcing you into one plane. That is the difference between a functional trainer and a fixed cable crossover.
The footprint, and the number to check first: 61 inches wide and 55 deep needs a real corner, not a gap between two machines. Height is 83.5 inches, so it clears a standard ceiling but not a low basement.
The BFFT10 is built for home use, with a 3-year frame and 1-year parts warranty. That is the honest limit: excellent value in a home gym, and the wrong machine for a 24-hour facility.
One model in stock at $960: 190 lb stack, 19 pulley positions, 180-degree swivel pulleys, 83.5 x 55 x 61 inches, home warranty. See the BFFT10 Functional Trainer for the full specification and photographs.
We have supplied and serviced fitness equipment in New England for over 35 years. Best Fitness is the line we recommend when someone wants a functional trainer and does not want to spend commercial money — but the honest caveat is the warranty and the frame, and we will say so.
If the machine is going into a facility rather than a home, we will point you at a commercial trainer instead. Telling you that is worth more than the sale.
We are a New England fitness equipment dealer based in Manchester, New Hampshire. We supply home gyms, commercial facilities, hotels, schools and physical therapy clinics across New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut — and we service every brand we sell.
Because we both sell and service the equipment, the advice you get is not shaped by what happens to be in stock. If a machine is wrong for your space, your traffic or your budget, we will say so.
Tell us the room, the traffic and the budget and we will tell you what actually fits — including when the honest answer is that you do not need to spend as much as you think. Call, email, or request a quote and we will come back to you.
Cable-based strength work in a home gym: chest press, rows, lat pulldowns, face pulls, biceps, triceps and leg work from one frame. It is the machine to buy if you want one station that covers most of a full-body programme rather than a rack plus a separate cable tower.
The BFFT10 is 83.5 inches high, 55 inches long and 61 inches wide. Allow clear space in front of and behind the frame for the pulleys to travel and for you to step in and out, so plan a corner that is wider than the 61-inch footprint rather than a gap between two other machines.
No. It is a home machine: Best Fitness specifies a 3-year frame and 1-year parts warranty, and the frame is not built for the hours a shared floor puts on it. For a facility we would quote a commercial functional trainer instead, and we will say so rather than sell you the cheaper one.
It sets the ceiling on resistance. 190 lb is enough for most pressing, pulling and arm work, and it is the usual limit for a home machine. If you are a strong lifter doing heavy low-rep rows or pulldowns, a heavier stack or a plate-loaded machine is the better fit.
Adjustment. Nineteen positions let you set the pulleys at the height the movement needs — high for pulldowns and face pulls, low for curls and rows, mid for pressing — and it is what lets two people of different heights use the same machine without compromise.
No. Cable work inside the frame can be brought back under control without a spotter, which is one of the reasons people buy a functional trainer instead of a barbell and a bench. It is also why the machine suits someone training alone at home.
For most home users, yes. A functional trainer covers pressing, pulling and arm work from a standing position, which is closer to how you actually move than a seated press station. Where it does not replace a home gym is heavy leg work — you will still want a rack, a bench or a leg machine.
Three years on the frame and one year on parts, as specified by Best Fitness. That is a home warranty, and it is the honest limit on what the machine is built for. We will not describe it as commercial equipment.
We deliver and assemble it on site, and because we also service what we sell, the same team is who you call if a cable or a pulley needs attention later. Tell us the room and the access route when you order — a 61-inch-wide frame does not go through every doorway boxed.
