The Total Gym Elevate Line is the first commercial range of bodyweight resistance single station machines offering a hybrid of fixed weight resistanc e and functional equipment. Members can access a functional workout, without needing to be taught complicated technique.
“For many members, making the move from fixed resistance equipment to functional kit can be a big jump,” explains John Halls, sales & marketing director at Physical Company. “There are lots of exciting pieces of functional kit available but they will only benefit a member if used in the right way. The Elevate Line is a unique and exciting development designed to be simple, safe and approachable. Members can jump on without guidance to experience the benefits of functional resistance training.”
The Total Gym Elevate Line features four pieces of equipment to target the legs, upper body and core with over 40 different exercises that can be performed across all stations. Each piece of equipment provides the benefi ts of functional training using the individual’s bodyweight as resistance. Simple to follow instructional images are clearly displayed allowing members to use the equipment straight away.
“All four machines take up less than 150 sq ft of space and cost under £4000 for the complete set” says Halls. “The products will compliment your existing kit and fi t equally well within a functional training zone or weight training area. The Elevate line also provides the option to offer circuit-style training that can be adopted individually or offered as a small group training session.”
The range includes:
1. Total Gym Leg Trainer
An all-in-one leg training station that facilitates a forward, backward and side lunge engaging all the muscles of the legs simultaneously. Built on an incline, the rolling glideboard adds instability for maximum muscle recruitment. It also features a Step-Up, Box Jump Platform for a second set of exercises.
2. Total Gym Pull-up Trainer
