Arm & Shoulder Machines

Our UK-designed collection of arm resistance machines and shoulder machines is great for developing strength and definition in your arms and shoulders. This plate-loaded equipment is ideal if you're looking to build boulder shoulders or simply want to improve muscle definition.

Here are just a few reasons why novices and commercial gyms trust our upper body gym machines:

• Commercial-grade and ergonomically designed.

• With space-saving footprints, these machines are also ideal for home gyms. 

• Our shoulder press machines are adjustable with padded seats for added comfort. 

• Plate-loaded, allowing you to customise your progressive overload stack. 

Upper body resistance training can help increase your range of motion, improve your posture and help you better perform everyday pushing and pulling movements.

Back & Lat Pulldown Machines

Our back machines enable you to isolate your traps, rhomboids and lats, supporting strong pulling motions and increasing your range of motion. We stock two varieties of resistance gym machines for training your back muscles:

• Row machines: Our plate-loaded, seated row machines help you target your latissimus dorsi, biceps, rhomboids and trapezius. Accommodating a wide range of weights, each machine is durable and compact in size, making it perfect for both home and commercial gyms.  

• Lat pulldown equipment: Target and strengthen the lat muscles with our lat pulldown machines. Lat machines use a weight stack and pulley system with padded handles to create mechanical advantage, making it easier to grip and lift heavier weights.

Training your back not only prevents injuries but also improves posture and enhances overall athletic performance.

Chest Machines

Our chest press machines are precision-designed and can be loaded with weight plates to suit your needs, allowing you to customise the intensity of your workouts. We stock a range of chest press machines to add resistance to your training regime.

Our chest resistance equipment supports fixed paths, ensuring proper form and toning of specific muscle groups, including your major and minor pecs. Besides regular seated presses, popular chest machine exercises include:

• Single-arm seated chest presses: Ideal for targeting one limb at a time or fixing muscle imbalances with controlled reps. 

• With no weights: Perfect for light workouts or muscle rehabilitation.

• Seated with different equipment: Incorporate barbells or kettlebells to vary your training for specific muscle growth.

Our most popular chest machines are the Plate-Loaded Incline Chest Press and the Apex Iso Viking Press. 

Glute & Hip Abduction Machines

We stock glute weight machines to help you target your glutes for the ultimate booty-building leg day.

These versatile resistance machines ensure a fixed path of motion, allowing you to train your lower body safely and with precision. Here are some of the benefits of our glute equipment:

• Glute resistance weight machines: Our hip thrust machines and Booty Builder Squat machine allow you to add weight plates for progressive overload and various glute exercises, working your hamstrings and quads. 

• Hip abduction machines: Our hip abduction machines offer variable, plate-loaded resistance. Built with solid steel, these machines are ideal for heavy-duty use by professional bodybuilders, trainers or daily use in commercial gyms.

FAQs

Read on to learn more about resistance training equipment and resistance-based workouts.

How does resistance training build core strength?

Resistance training strengthens your core because it requires stabilising your body while other muscles work. As your limbs move, your core, especially your abs, engages to maintain balance and generate force, which improves strength and endurance.  For example:

• Medicine ball slams don’t just target your upper body; they also challenge your core to stabilise your movement.

• When doing handstand push-ups, you’re not only using your arms, but your core works just as hard to keep your body balanced.

• During a bench press, your core engages to keep your back supported and your form steady.

What other equipment can I use to add resistance to my training?

Although not as effective at precisely targeting muscles as resistance workout machines, training with free weights and free movement can be effective for resistance training and building functional strength.

To train with free weights, you can try:

• Kettlebell swings

• Dumbbell lunges

• Bicep curls 

• Weight plate squats

To train with your body weight, we recommend:

• Lunges

• Bulgarian split squats

• Planks
