EliteFTS

EliteFTS has built strength equipment — bars, racks, belt squats and specialty machines — at its facility in London, Ohio since 1998, and both its homepage and its product pages say so directly. The homepage carries an “AMERICAN-MADE STRENGTH EQUIPMENT” banner, and every steel-equipment product page checked repeats “Made in the USA” as a line item under Specs & Features rather than only as marketing copy — the same pattern, spec field plus prose, that earns the first mark elsewhere on this site.

The claim holds consistently across the core equipment line: power racks, belt squats, bars and the Signature Smith Machine all carry the same “Made in the USA” spec entry. The one gap is resistance bands, which the site does not describe by country of origin at all — bands are the one product category on elitefts.com with no manufacturing claim either way, and are excluded from this evidence set as a result. That gap is worth a re-check if bands are ever pulled into this catalogue separately.
