I don’t like machines in general, and the Smith in particular. Seems like a case of needing to find a new gym more than anything else.

I loathe the smith machine.
I do squats in a squat rack and I do overhead presses with a bar (occasionally dumbbells).
People think the smith machine protects you, but if you have an abrupt injury, pull, or something else, you’re usually safer with free weights in open space. You can usually just drop it.
