Why plate-loaded machines are the ultimate investment
For your facility, and your athletes.
When it comes to investing in longevity – both for your athletes and your facility – you can’t beat the durability and constant adjustable resistance of plate-loaded machines.
Sturdy, strong and with less moving parts than their pin-loaded counterparts, they make an ideal investment for commercial use. And when it comes to athletic performance, their ability to isolate muscle groups and allow specific progression through addition of fractional and change plates is unmatched.
The ideal choice for group training.
When time and space efficiency are key for group training or high foot traffic – plate-loaded machines carry their weight.
The obvious choice – Glute Thrust Machine
Easily add glute thrusts to group training. No time-consuming set-ups, and easy plate adjustments for different strength athletes.
The underdog – Pendulum Squat
It might not be your first choice for group training, but once your members experience the quad loading and back freeing power of this machine, you won’t go back.
Free weight training’s best friend.
Free weight training recruits multiple muscles and stabilisers. Machines isolate the ones you want to work. Together – they're the ultimate powerhouse in plate-loaded training.
The obvious choice – Leg Extension
Target the quads, together or unilaterally for serious isolation that builds symmetry and performance.
The underdog – Unilateral Leg Press
The classic leg press, made more powerful. This allows athletes to train under the same or varied load for each leg, or switch to unilateral mode.
The power of isolation.
If your athletes demand precise hypertrophy stimulus and precise weight increases, plate-loaded machines have your back.
The obvious choice – Bicep Curl
Say goodbye to swing reps and instability and focus fully on bicep isolation. This will fast become a favourite in your gym.
The underdog – Seated Calf Raise
One of the hardest muscles to isolate is targeted in this machine. And here, the load goes through the thighs not the spine, so athletes can load up the plates.
Serious durability
Plate-loaded machines look, feel and move with serious sturdiness. They perform on a commercial floor and handle the heavy reps with ease.
The obvious choice – Chest Press
Train the chest press with a set-up that’s quick, a machine that feels supportive and a position that supports all athletes.
The underdog – Incline/Decline Chest Press
They might seem like niche movements, but setting up incline or decline pressing movements often includes multiple pieces of equipment and the risk of dumbbells getting thrashed. These machines are in it for the long-haul.
