From Vertical to Multi-Dimensional — M2 3D Breaks Home Training Limits with "Full-Range 3D Motion System"
CHINO HILLS, Calif., Nov. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- RITFIT, a pioneering U.S. home fitness brand dedicated to empowering individuals with high-quality and accessible equipment, recently announced the launch of its groundbreaking M2 3D Smith Machine. As the industry's first true 3D Smith system designed exclusively for home gyms, the M2 represents a transformative leap forward, seamlessly merging commercial-grade performance with the practical needs of home users. This innovation arrives during a peak fitness season, offering a safer, more versatile, and space-efficient solution for those seeking to build a complete and professional training environment at home.
A Leap Forward in Movement Technology
The M2 3D fundamentally reimagines home strength training by introducing full-directional 3D movement—enabling natural motion forward, backward, and vertically. This breakthrough starkly contrasts with traditional Smith machines confined to a single vertical plane. By closely mimicking real-life motions, the technology enhances muscle engagement, improves joint health, and reduces injury risks, delivering a more dynamic and effective workout experience.
"The M2 3D isn't just an upgrade; it's a transformation in how we approach home fitness," said Yann Lin, Founder of RITFIT. "It brings the fluidity and functionality of commercial gym equipment into the home, empowering users to train smarter and safer, which has always been our core mission."
All-in-One Versatility, Engineered to Grow with You
Transcending the limitations of a single-function machine, the M2 3D serves as a complete home gym solution. It seamlessly integrates a power rack, cable crossover, pull-up station, low row, and landmine into a single unit. This integrated design allows users to target every major muscle group and perform hundreds of exercises without the need for additional equipment, optimizing both space and budget.
Performance Meets Practicality in Every Detail
The M2 3D prioritizes customization with 16 adjustment holes on the main and fly slider uprights—a significant upgrade from previous models—ensuring precise bar and pulley positioning for optimal form and results across all body types. The M2 Pro-3D model features dual 143lb weight stacks for instant resistance changes—ideal for high-intensity training and family use. The all-in-one trainer features easy-to-use selector pins, eliminating the hassle of loading plates to streamline fast-paced workouts. Safety and customization are enhanced with 16 adjustment holes on the main and fly slider uprights, a significant upgrade from previous models, ensuring precise bar and pulley positioning for optimal form and results for all body types. A dedicated storage system with six pegs and four hooks keeps plates and accessories neatly organized, promoting a safer and more efficient workout space.
Built for the Future of Home Fitness
The launch of the M2 3D Smith Machine signals a new chapter for home fitness, aligning with RITFIT's vision to make professional-grade training accessible to everyone. By combining commercial-grade strength, 3D versatility, and compact efficiency, RITFIT addresses the evolving demands of modern fitness enthusiasts.

RITFIT Leads Home Fitness Revolution: Home Gym Industry's First 3D Smith Machine Launched
- Having secured the fully driverless commercial permit in mid-November 2025, the partners have launched fully autonomous ride-hailing service via the AutoGo app.
- Initial operations cover Yas Island, with phased expansion planned for Reem, Al Maryah, and Saadiyat Islands.
- The launch marks a critical step toward the partners' goal of deploying hundreds of vehicles by 2026 and building Abu Dhabi's largest fully driverless fleet.
ABU DHABI, UAE, Jan. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIDU and HKEX: 9888) today announced that its autonomous ride-hailing service, Apollo Go, and AutoGo, a leading UAE-based autonomous mobility company, have officially launched the fully autonomous commercial ride-hailing service in the emirate. The launch of the service, now available via the AutoGo app, marks a major milestone in the commercialization of autonomous driving in the Middle East. The service has launched initially on Yas Island, where users in Abu Dhabi can now download the app to hail fully driverless rides.
The collaboration between Baidu's Apollo Go and K2's AutoGo began in March 2025, when they announced the partnership to build Abu Dhabi's largest fully driverless fleet. Building on that momentum, the companies secured one of the inaugural permits for fully driverless commercial operation in Abu Dhabi in mid-November 2025 and signed a next-phase agreement to scale the fleet to hundreds of vehicles by 2026. With the service now available to the general public through the AutoGo app, the partners are actively advancing their goal of establishing the emirate's largest fully driverless fleet.
"Moving from an initial partnership agreement to launching live, fully driverless operations for the public in a span of just a few months is a remarkable milestone," said Liang Zhang, Managing Director of EMEA at Baidu Apollo. "This speed of execution highlights the technical readiness of Apollo Go, the strong operational capabilities of our partnership, and the steadfast support of local regulatory bodies."
"AutoGo's transition to live robotaxi operations marks an important milestone in Abu Dhabi's autonomous mobility journey," said Sean Teo, Managing Director of K2. "Launching the service at the start of the year reflects our focus on execution and long-term value creation. By introducing robotaxi services in real urban environments and scaling across key districts, we are moving decisively from development to deployment—delivering autonomy that is practical, safe, and ready for everyday use."
The initial operation covers Yas Island, a premier leisure and entertainment hub in Abu Dhabi, now designated as a permitted zone for fully driverless operations. This service allows users to simply download the AutoGo app, request a ride, and experience a journey in a vehicle with no human driver behind the wheel.
Following the initial launch on Yas Island, the service will implement a phased geographic roll-out across Abu Dhabi. The expansion will begin with Reem Island, Al Maryah Island, and Saadiyat Island. Over time, the service will continue to expand across additional areas, with the long-term objective of operating across the wider Abu Dhabi emirate.
Apollo Go's rapid expansion into the UAE is backed by its industry-leading autonomous driving technology and proven real-world operational expertise. As a leading autonomous ride‑hailing service provider globally, Apollo Go has logged more than 240 million autonomous kilometers, of which over 140 million kilometers were completed in fully driverless mode. With a global footprint across 22 cities, Apollo Go's weekly ride count has recently surpassed 250,000, and the service has completed more than 17 million cumulative rides as of October 31, 2025. Looking ahead, Apollo Go and AutoGo will scale fully autonomous commercial ride-hailing services to reach more users and advance Abu Dhabi's smart city vision.
