Building a home gym often means choosing between separate stations and a single machine that handles most of your training. The Altas Strength AL-3059 takes the second approach, combining a Smith machine, power rack, plate-loaded cable system, and multiple exercise stations.
The 10th Anniversary Combo includes the AL-4006 adjustable bench for buyers who want a broad range of exercises in one purchase.
This Altas Strength AL-3059 combo review examines the current specifications, included equipment, space requirements, shipping terms, and warranty. We will also explain the manufacturer’s different load ratings so you can decide whether this setup suits your training and available space.
Testing disclosure:
We have not personally assembled or trained with the Altas Strength AL-3059. This research-based review uses current manufacturer specifications and policies together with available owner feedback. Prices, promotions, and bundle contents can change.
Quick Verdict
The AL-3059 and AL-4006 combo is worth considering if you want a plate-loaded Smith machine, functional trainer, rack and adjustable bench in one purchase. Its 1:1 pulley ratio, counterbalanced Smith bar, and linear bearings make it an appealing option for a multipurpose home gym.
However, this is an extremely large and heavy setup. The machine stands approximately 88 inches tall and weighs more than 500 pounds before plates are added. Buyers must also account for freight delivery, assembly, and a restrictive return policy—especially when purchasing a sale item.
Best for: Home gym owners with sufficient space who want a versatile, plate-loaded training station.
Think twice if you have a low ceiling, expect an easy return process, or mainly need a simple Smith machine without cable stations.

What Is Included in the AL-3059 and AL-4006 Combo?
The current 10th Anniversary Limited Combo includes two products:
- Altas Strength AL-3059 Smith machine
- Altas Strength AL-4006 adjustable bench
The AL-3059 is an eight-in-one, plate-loaded training system. Its main functions include a counterbalanced Smith machine, free-weight rack, functional trainer, pull-up station, dip station, low-row station and rotating landmine.
The AL-4006 bench can be adjusted for flat, incline, decline, military-press and abdominal exercises. It has seven backrest positions, three seat positions and an advertised maximum capacity of 800 pounds.
The anniversary bundle does not list loose-weight plates or a separate Olympic bar as included. Those items appeared in a different Canadian promotional bundle, but buyers should not assume they are included in the current U.S. anniversary offer.
The AL-3059 also supports an optional vertical leg-press attachment, but the manufacturer lists that attachment separately. Confirm the exact package contents before ordering.

The cable figure describes tensile strength, not usable exercise resistance. Those numbers are not interchangeable.
The manufacturer also distinguishes between the Smith bar’s recommended load and maximum capacity. Although the page advertises a 1,000-pound maximum, it gives 400 pounds as the recommended load. Buyers should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and contact Altas Strength if they need clarification for heavy training.
Build and Training Features
Counterbalanced Smith Machine
The Smith bar travels along a fixed path and uses a counterbalance system to reduce its starting resistance. Linear bearings guide the bar, while adjustable safety catches provide additional protection when training without a spotter. Actual movement quality can also depend on correct assembly, alignment, and maintenance.
Free-Weight Rack
The front of the AL-3059 can function as a free-weight rack using the included J-hooks and safety arms. This lets you perform exercises with a separate Olympic bar instead of relying exclusively on the fixed Smith bar.
The J-hooks and safety arms carry a stated 600-pound capacity. A separate Olympic bar and loose plates are not included in the combo.
Plate-Loaded Functional Trainer
The functional trainer uses a 1:1 cable ratio. With this ratio, the loaded resistance is transferred more directly than with a 2:1 system, although friction and the machine’s mechanics can affect how the resistance feels in use.
Because it is plate-loaded, the AL-3059 does not provide the quick pin changes of a selector weight-stack machine. You will need to move plates when changing resistance, but you also avoid paying for built-in weight stacks.
Pull-Up, Dip, Landmine and Low-Row Stations
The frame includes a multi-grip pull-up station, dip handles, a rotating landmine, and a low-row setup. These additions expand the exercise selection without requiring several freestanding pieces of equipment.
Some exercises require optional equipment. For example, landmine training requires a compatible barbell, and the vertical leg-press attachment is sold separately.
Space and Assembly Considerations
Measure the intended location carefully before ordering. The machine is listed at 79 inches wide, 58 inches deep, and 88 inches tall, but you need more room than the frame dimensions alone indicate.
Allow working space in front of the rack, room to load plates on both sides, and clearance for pull-ups. Measure the lowest part of your ceiling, including lights, garage door hardware, and overhead storage.
The machine weighs more than 500 pounds before you add the bench, plates, or a separate barbell. Confirm that the floor is level and capable of supporting the total installed weight. Protective gym flooring may also help protect the surface underneath it.
The manufacturer does not provide a dependable universal assembly time. Given the machine’s size, cable routing and number of stations, it is sensible to treat installation as a substantial project. Having a second adult available and organizing all components before assembly should make the process safer and more manageable

Shipping, Returns and Warranty
Freight Delivery
Items weighing more than 150 pounds are shipped by freight carrier. Delivery is curbside, and someone must be available to accept and sign for the shipment. The manufacturer advises allowing approximately 10 to 15 business days for oversized items.
Storage charges can begin 48 hours after the freight company first contacts the customer if delivery is not completed. Inspect the shipment promptly and document any visible damage before moving or assembling the equipment.
Return Restrictions
Altas Strength states that return or replacement requests must be made within seven days of delivery. Damage or defects must be reported within 48 hours.
Eligible returns must remain unassembled and in their original condition and packaging. Customers are responsible for return shipping, and the policy states that sale items are final sale, non-refundable, and non-exchangeable
Because the combo is advertised as a sale item, confirm its return eligibility before ordering. The product page and general FAQ also display different cancellation-fee percentages, so verify the current terms directly.
Warranty Coverage
The current warranty page provides the original purchaser with:
- Limited lifetime coverage on the body and frame for manufacturing defects
- Three years on cables and upholstery
- Three years on bearings, bushings, and pulleys
The warranty applies to purchases from the official website, and Altas Strength states that it covers shipping costs for eligible replacement parts during the warranty period. Improper installation, misuse, cosmetic damage, unauthorized modifications, and certain related costs are excluded.

How Does the AL-3059 Compare With Other Options?
Compared With a Dedicated Titan Smith Machine
A dedicated Smith machine can make more sense if you mainly want guided squats and presses. Titan’s Smith Machine uses linear bearings, includes safety catches, and has a smaller feature set, lacking the AL-3059’s plate-loaded functional trainer.
The Altas combo offers more exercise stations and includes a bench, but it also creates a more complicated installation. These are different equipment categories, so price alone does not identify the better choice.
Compared With Major Fitness All-in-One Systems
Major Fitness sells several power racks and all-in-one Smith-machine systems. Compare the exact model’s capacity, attachments, pulley design, and warranty with those of the AL-3059, rather than relying on older references to the former “Major Lutie” name.
Compared With Force USA All-in-One Trainers
Force USA focuses heavily on premium all-in-one trainers. Depending on the model, buyers may find more independent reviews and a broader product ecosystem, but potentially at a higher price.
If you are considering another Altas model, read our Altas Strength AL-3061B review. The AL-3061B uses a different configuration and bench, so comparing the two reviews can help you decide which layout better fits your gym.
Rogue Fitness equipment guide also explains what to consider when planning a broader home gym equipment list.
Who Should Buy the Altas Strength AL-3059 Combo?
Consider this combination if you:
- Want a Smith machine, free-weight rack, and functional trainer in one station.
- Prefer plate-loaded cables with a 1:1 ratio
- Need an adjustable bench and want it included in the same purchase.
- Have sufficient ceiling height and surrounding workspace.

- Have a ceiling close to the machine’s 88-inch height.
- Need a generous trial or return period.
- Cannot accept a heavy curbside freight delivery
- Want all plates, bars, and leg-training attachments included.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the brand called Altas Strength or Altas Strength?
The official brand name is Altas Strength. “Altas Strength” appears occasionally in reviews and search results, but it is a common spelling error rather than the official company name.
Is the AL-3059 a Smith machine and functional trainer?
Yes. It combines a counterbalanced Smith machine, free-weight rack and plate-loaded functional trainer with pull-up, dip, landmine and low-row stations.
What is the AL-3059 pulley ratio?
The manufacturer currently lists the AL-3059 with a 1:1 cable pulley ratio. It should not be confused with other Altas models that use 2:1 pulleys or switchable ratios.
How much weight can the Smith bar hold?
The product page states a 1,000-pound Smith-bar capacity but recommends a 400-pound load. Its J-hooks and safety arms are separately rated for 600 pounds. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended loading and request clarification directly if your training approaches these limits.
Does the anniversary combo include weight plates?
No loose plates are listed in the current U.S. anniversary bundle. It lists the AL-3059 and AL-4006 bench. Confirm the live offer before ordering because promotional content can change.
Does the combo include a leg-press attachment?
The AL-3059 is compatible with an optional vertical leg-press attachment, but the manufacturer lists that accessory separately. Do not assume it is included unless the current bundle expressly says so.
How high does the ceiling need to be?
The frame is approximately 88 inches high. You need additional clearance above it to use the pull-up station safely. Check light fixtures, garage door tracks, and other overhead obstructions.
What is the return period?
Altas Strength states that eligible return or replacement requests must be made within seven days of delivery. Damage must be reported within 48 hours. Sale items are listed as final sale, so confirm how the policy applies to the anniversary combo before purchasing.
What warranty does Altas Strength provide?
The current policy offers limited lifetime coverage for the frame for manufacturing defects, and three years of coverage for cables, upholstery, bearings, bushings, and pulleys for the original purchaser. Coverage conditions and exclusions apply.
Final Verdict
The Altas Strength AL-3059 and AL-4006 combo appears to be a capable all-in-one option for home gym owners who value exercise variety. The 1:1 cable ratio, counterbalanced Smith bar, linear bearings, free-weight rack, and included adjustable bench create a capable specification.
The tradeoffs are equally important. This is a large, extremely heavy purchase with freight delivery requirements, substantial assembly, and strict return terms. Buyers should also understand the difference between the manufacturer’s recommended 400-pound Smith-bar load and the higher advertised maximum capacity.
The AL-3059 is worth considering if its station configuration matches your workouts and you have the space to install it properly. If you mainly need guided barbell training, a simpler Smith machine may cost less and be easier to assemble. If you want faster cable adjustments, a selectorized functional trainer may suit you better.
