Description
The Bodytone Solid Grow SG01 chest press is a plate-loaded machine running on rails, taking 50 mm Olympic discs up to a maximum recommended load of 64 kg. It sits in the Solid Grow line, an entry to mid-range family aimed at small gyms, independent coaches and well-equipped private facilities.
A guided alternative to the free bench press
The bench press is the exercise most likely to go wrong when nobody is watching. A rail-guided press removes the two failure modes that matter: the bar cannot drift out of plane, and it cannot be dropped on the lifter, because the carriage stays on its track. For a hotel gym, a residential gym or a studio without permanent floor staff, that changes the risk profile of offering horizontal pressing at all.
- Primary muscles: pectorals
- Secondary: anterior deltoids and triceps
- Rail-guided carriage for a stable, repeatable path
- Progressive loading in disc increments up to 64 kg
Plate loading in practice
There is no weight stack, no cable and no pulley to service. Load is added by hand with standard 50 mm Olympic discs, which are not supplied with the machine; a 50 kg set per station is the usual recommendation if the discs are not already shared with a rack. The trade-off against a selectorised machine is time between sets rather than capability, which is rarely the binding constraint in a room serving a handful of users an hour.

Frequently asked questions
Is 64 kg enough for a commercial room?
For the population that a guided press is designed to serve, yes. Members pressing above that figure are generally better served by a free bench in a supervised area, and the guided machine remains the volume station for everyone else.
Can it replace a bench and barbell?
It replaces the risk, not the whole exercise. A free bench trains stabilisation that a guided path does not; a guided press lets beginners and unsupervised users train the pattern safely. Most rooms end up with both.
What space does it need?
Allow clear access at both loading sides so discs can be changed without stepping into a neighbouring station, plus a clear seat entry. Send us your floor plan and we will mark the station positions.
Tell us how many stations you are equipping and whether you need matching disc sets, and we will return a quotation covering machines, accessories, delivery and on-site assembly.
