Consistent with their rugged and industrial look, they’re extremely durable and can take a pounding and withstand damage from any serious athlete. Our company has the luxury of doing installs for many of the large gyms so we’ve established great connections. These gyms then allow us the opportunity to buyback equipment and sometimes we have a chance to obtain some sought after Hammer Strength equipment.

There are some Hammer Strength machines that we do get more often than others so we’ll break them down below. Enjoy our Hammer Strength guide with pictures too:

Plate Loaded Hammer Strength

Hammer Strength Iso-Lateral High Row

The iso-lateral high row may sound like a ridiculously fancy name but its concept is pretty simple. This machine specializes in evenly developing the upper back muscles. It’s great for both beginners and experts because of its low starting resistance and durable frame. It even has an additional handle for a one handed workout if you want to look extremely cool. The seat is also adjustable for maximum comfort.

Hammer Strength Iso-Lateral Low Row

Once you’re done working out with upper back muscles, there’s the Hammer Strength iso-lateral low row to work your lower back. The machine was designed to create a natural and real push/pull workout. There’s also an adjustable seat and plate weight storage.

Hammer Strength Iso-Lateral Rowing

The iso-lateral rowing machine is great for developing all your back muscles evenly. Surprisingly, this machine is actually quite compact with a low profile so it is not too difficult to make room for it. It has multi-grip handles, an adjustable seat and a durable steel frame.

Hammer Strength Seated Calf Raise

The Hammer Strength seated calf raise is designed to specifically target your soleus muscles. The soleus muscle is a broad muscle in the lower calf that’s primarily used to flex the foot. The thigh restraint is adjustable to accommodate users of all sizes. Like all the other Hammer Strength machines, it has a durable steel frame.

Hammer Strength Iso-Lateral Decline Press

The specialty of the Hammer Strength iso-lateral decline press is to evenly develop the lower chest muscles. The machine is designed to be easily accessible with its adjustable seat and seat belt. It can even be adjusted to accommodate upright exercise positions.

Hammer Strength Iso-Lateral Chest/Back

The Hammer Strength iso-lateral chest/back is one of the few combination machines from the Hammer Strength line. The iso-lateral chest/back machine offers two workouts in one station which is ideal for gym owners or home users who want to maximize their space. Users can perform a chest press on one side of this machine and then rotate to a high row on the other side which allows them to work both the chest and back muscles.

Hammer Strength Seated Dip

If you need a Hammer Strength machine that targets your triceps, look no further than the seated dip. A great aspect of this machine is that you can perform the exercise either facing in or out. It also comes with a seatbelt for stabilization, adjustable knee pads, an adjustable seat and a weight plate storage rack.

Hammer Strength Pullover

The Hammer Strength pullover machine doesn’t have the most informative name so we’re here to tell you that it works out your back muscles. This particular model offers an angled seat and seatbelt for improved stability as well as a counterbalanced movement arm to reduce the initial starting weight. It also has a reduced shoulder extension for minimal joint stress. The seat is also adjustable.

Hammer Strength Iso-Lateral Shoulder Press

If you need to evenly develop your shoulders, the Hammer Strength iso-lateral shoulder press is the premiere machine for even development. It has a 40 degree back pad that helps to provide stability and discourages hyperextension during heavy lifts.

Hammer Strength Linear Leg Press

The leg press is one of the most commonly used gym machines but the Hammer Strength linear leg press is among the best. The machine is designed with linear bearings which create a smooth yet effective workout. It has easy accessibility, a polyethylene spray-coated foot platform for extra durability, long-lasting molded padding, safety lock rails and an adjustable back pad.

Hammer Strength Iso-Lateral Bench Press

One of Hammer Strength’s top selling strength machines, the iso-lateral bench press allows for equal chest strength development. It has an adjustable seat but also has an upright position for easy access.

Hammer Strength Seated Biceps

A great machine for working out the biceps, the Hammer Strength seated biceps utilizes the traditional preacher curl position and offers rotating handles to accommodate users with varying forearm length. It has improved resistance over free weights and an adjustable seat.

Selectorized Hammer Strength

Hammer Strength MTS Iso-Lateral Decline Press

The MTS iso-lateral decline press comes with two weight stacks to create resistance for each arm. The machine is designed at an optimal pressing angle for muscle stimulation. The two weight stacks are also independent of each other so you can adjust weight resistance for each arm.

Hammer Strength MTS Iso-Lateral Incline Press

Similar to the decline press, the Hammer Strength iso-lateral incline press has two separate weight stacks for resistance adjustment. This machine is designed to provide a natural arc of shoulder motion and movement that helps users evenly develop their muscles. Like many of the other machines in the line, it has an adjustable seat and durable steel frame.

The Cybex 530T treadmill is one of the easiest treadmills to use. It has a convenient “Quick Start” key that lets the user enter the manual program with a single touch.

This treadmill also has an effective suspension system that absorbs the impact of landing and provides a stable running base for maximum efficiency. There is also an option to attach a television if you want to multi-task and watch your favorite shows while burning some calories.

Cybex is one of the leaders in fitness so it is not surprising that this commercial grade unit delivers the well known durability that they’re known for. The Arc Trainer was designed to combine elements of an elliptical cross-trainer, a climber and a skier to offer a fully engaging workout. Fortunately, this 610A arc trainer was also designed to be a low impact workout machine. It emphasizes high performance but also minimizes stress on the joints.

Technology:

The Cybex 610A Arc Trainer comes with the patented Same Side Forward (SSF) motion that helps to coordinate both the upper and lower body movements in order to ensure that the exerciser has correct posture regardless of the incline the machine is set at. The motion created by the SSF also allows the user to shift focus on either their upper or lower body. Of course, they can also choose to work out both their arms and legs equally for a balanced routine.

In regards to the upper body, the 610A is designed to keep the wrists in a low stress position while allowing the arm to execute a complete and natural full range of motion, especially for the shoulder. The handles may also look odd but they’re actually designed that way for a great reason. They’re contoured to offer several user grip positions to allow for a comfortable workout. There are also contact heart rate grips integrated into the arms to help the user track their progress during their workout.

Features:

This arc trainer’s resistance ranges from 0 to 900 watts to accommodate a wide variety of users from different fitness levels. Beginners can use it to warm up and dedicated athletes can use it for an extremely high intensity workout.

The footplates offer a bilateral reciprocal movement which creates a natural and relaxed motion that does not strain the joints. The 610A is also biomechanically designed to lower the chance of injuries by not placing high loads on the muscle.

The 610A arc trainer also has an adjustable incline which helps create variety in training. On lower incline settings, the arc trainer delivers modest hip and knee motions. Higher inclines offer an increase in hip and knee motion.

Conclusion:

While it may not be the newest Cybex Arc Trainer model out on the market today, the 610A still delivers all the essentials for a bargain price. This model is now on sale on our website. Visit our new arrivals page for more information!

Here are the top brands for Commercial Multi-Gym Equipment:

Because it is designed for multiple simultaneous users, Muscle D’s multi-stations allow you to save space and money because you don’t have to purchase individual products that target the same muscles.

Cost Implications

The initial cost of buying exercise equipment is higher than that of leasing them. Used gym equipment for sale cushion these high costs. Once the equipment is purchased, the subsequent costs are way cheaper.

Renting a recumbent bike works well for new owners who don’t have enough resources to purchase a new one. The terms are flexible, and one can make the most of available tax deductions which ensure that you save some costs. Leasing equipment is however costly in the long run.

The quality of equipment

Leasing equipment makes it possible to have new machines every few years. Different leasing companies provide various policies to this end that you should keep in mind. You will be in a position to offer your clients the best equipment in the market time and again.

If you choose to buy machines, you can customize the attachments, colors, and connectors to fit your brand. The ability to customize your products allows you to grow your brand and have a regular clientele. The only downside is that your bike can become obsolete over time due to innovation.

Equipment maintenance

Buying gym equipment means that you will be fully responsible for all upkeep and maintenance costs. It is therefore the duty of the gym owner to ensure the cleanliness and proper utilization of the equipment. Although they may be demanding, these added responsibilities provide a sense of ownership of your gym.

For leased equipment, the maintenance costs are not entirely left to the owner. Depending on the bike provider, one can take back the exercise equipment in case of a breakdown. There is also the option of returning unused equipment.

Flexibility

Recumbent bikes for sale give you the option of cashing in on it when tough financial times come calling. The fact that you get to own the bike makes it an asset, and you can make use of this privilege when the going gets tough. When an owner decides to give up their gym, the leased equipment won’t provide any monetary gain.

Which is the better option?

When all is said and done, the needs of your gym and long-term expenses should heavily influence your final decision. Weigh the pros and cons of buying against those of renting a recumbent bike before you make up your mind. The personal circumstances for various gym owner will inform the different decisions that are taken in the long run.

These are machines that one can hold with the hand and pick up. Their essence is to make your body works against gravity as pick the object. They include:

• Standard barbell: this is a long bar used as a loading platform for various weight plates.

Precor has raised the Fitness Bar up a notch with the all new Precor AMT Elliptical Cross-Trainer. The Precor AMT takes elliptical training to an all-new level. The Precor AMT makes use of the user’s natural body motion to adjust the stride length and motion without the user needing making any adjustments to the machine.

For the first time the Precor AMT Elliptical gives the user the immediacy, variety, and natural feeling of running outdoors and allows you to customize your stride length and resistance at any time during the work out.

• Handheld heart rate monitoring with compatibility for wireless monitors
• 350-pound maximum user weight

Precor AMT Customer Review:

I took the plunge and bought this trainer for my home gym. I have tried numerous machines and found that most ellipticals have a few drawbacks. They are great for reducing impact, compared to a treadmill, but usually constrain movement to a fixed motion. Other than being able to vary the stride length a couple of inches on a few models, they all have exactly the same motion, over and over. It was difficult to find one that fit my gait, and at the same time be suitable for my wife who is only 5 feet tall. Actually impossible would be a better description.

This machine is unique, and should be in its own class of truly variable elliptical training. The stride can be ANYTHING you make it; from stepping to full running gait to a pedaling stride. It even allows a backward pedal stride if you want to really mix up the routine. The machine doesn’t control the gait. You do, and you can vary it any time without touching any electronic controls. You’ll need to try it to really understand.

Very highly recommended!

An actual Precor 100i AMT Customer

Why Your Gym Needs Panatta

High Quality

When it comes to choosing equipment for your commercial or home gym, you need equipment that is built to last. You have to consider just how much use your equipment will see.

If you work out every day, your equipment needs to be able to stand up to the years. This is especially true if you have multiple people using the same pieces of equipment in your commercial gym. Panatta gym products are built to last with high-quality materials.

Equipment for Every Gym

No matter the size of your gym, you can find Panatta equipment that fits any space. While jungle gyms are perfect for those looking to get multiple uses for multiple users out of their gym equipment, all Panatta products are made with commercial gym owners and their customers in mind.

But before you go ahead and hand over your hard-earned cash, you have to think carefully about your planned purchase. Spending for a dumbbell or two, or a set or resistance bands is one thing – paying hundreds of thousands of dollars on a machine that will take up considerable space in your home is another.

Here’s what you need to know when buying a glute machine!

Factors to Consider When Shopping for a Glute Machine

1. Budget

The saying “You get what you pay for” may be true in a lot of situations, but not necessarily in buying fitness equipment. Just because a particular equipment doesn’t have a price tag that makes you wince doesn’t automatically mean it is not worth your purchase.

Affordable and cheap need not be synonymous. If budget is an issue, there are plenty of mid-range options with great quality that you can choose from.

2. Quality

The allure of an expensive, branded product is totally understandable, especially with the way those are marketed. There are stores that get to sell a product by the virtue of its brand name.

Still, while there are branded equipment that ARE worth the buy, there are non-branded equipment that are built for the same purpose, using the same materials, that are worth looking into.

3. Versatility

A lot of these machines or equipment are being sold as multi-tasking products that will make the most out of your money, but come up short on their promises. Or there are products designed to target a specific body part, but turns out you can do the same exercise with multi-tasking equipment.

You have to choose carefully, keeping in mind the exercises that you plan to need to do for your program. Remember that there is equipment you can use not only for your glutes, but for other muscle groups as well.

4. Space

If you’re living in a small studio, buying a big machine is most likely not the practical option for you, especially if you’re living with family. If you only have limited space, it’s best to limit your choices to equipment that you can easily store in your closet when not in use.

5. Effectiveness

Even the most expensive piece of equipment can’t guarantee you a glorious booty if you’re not using it properly. There are a whole lot of other factors in play, such as the way you use that machine…if you get to use it religiously at all.

Also, exercise comes hand-in-hand with good nutrition when it comes to getting the body you desire. If you don’t eat right, no equipment or machine in the world can help you get your fitness on.

6. Resistance

When it comes to exercise, there are two types of resistance you will be dealing with – gravity and elastic. There are equipment that use both and there are those designed to deal with just one kind.

Weights use gravity resistance, while rubber bands and metal springs use elastic resistance. Decide what type you want to use and then choose the right equipment.

7. Portability

Portability is not only a concern for the amount of physical space you have at home. You also have to consider this if you’re constantly travelling and you want to work out when you’re out and about. If this is the case, you are better off buying a set of resistance bands or a set of dumbbells that you can easily take with you wherever you go.

8. Fitness Level

If you’re a fitness newbie and you’re still getting a feel of regular workouts, it’s not wise to invest in expensive machines right away. There are so many people who have done so and ended up losing interest with exercise eventually, leaving the machine to gather dust in the basement. Talk about occupying space and thousands of dollars wasted.

It’s best to get the most affordable equipment first and if you feel like you can keep this up, then maybe you can switch up to more advanced and more expensive equipment.

Best Glute-Building Equipment for Home Use

With that being said, here are two options worth checking out if you have serious intentions of building up your booty. We have a resistance band set for those looking for portability and a machine for those with space and budget to buy it.

1. INNSTAR Booty Resistance Band Glute Cord System

This cord system is so easy to use! All you need to do is anchor it to the door (hooks are provided for this purpose), then trap the other bands around each of your ankles and you’re ready to go. It’s definitely worth your money since it can be used for more than just the usual leg extensions and kickbacks.

Another great thing about it is that you can use it to target other muscle groups. Just anchor the cord to the top of the door frame instead of the bottom and then use it to work out your arms, shoulders, and back.

If you’re clueless about how to use resistance bands, no need to worry. This set comes with a guide that can show you the correct techniques and the right exercises for specific muscle groups.

2. Body-Solid GLPH1100 Leg Press and Hack Squat Machine

This looks like an imposing piece of equipment but this is perfect for those who work out on the mid-level to advanced levels. This is made for heavy lifting – it can support up to 1000 pounds. You can do leg press workouts and back squats, with all the weights that you need.

The only “problem,” if you can call it that, with this machine is that you have to spend around two hours to assemble this beast. But you can always count this as part of your workout and besides, no pain, no gain.

1. Seated Leg Press

This machine may be a little obvious seeing as “leg” is in its name itself, but it is nice to know how to properly use this machine and how it benefits your lower body. If you’re not sure what exactly a seated leg press is, it is a strength machine with an angled chair and a large plate in front of that chair that is usually attached to a weight stack. The leg press primarily targets the thighs and glutes and is a great strength machine to tone them. The leg press is also extremely beneficial because it keeps your body in a stable position which maximizes the workout and prevents injures.

To use this leg press, sit comfortably on the chair until your thighs are parallel to the plate. To perform this exercise, slowly straighten out your leg, but not complete. After, begin to bend your knees until the weight hovers over the stack and repeat.

2. Leg Curl

While the seated leg press targets the upper half of the lower body, the leg curl machine is designed to help work the hamstrings. The leg curl machine has a bench where the user lies flat on their stomach and has a weighted bar over their legs. To properly use this machine, you should start with your legs straight and then bend your knees toward your body, pushing against the resistance of the weighted bar.

3. Leg Extension

As you may have figured out, machines with the word “leg” in their name was great for working out your legs. Each of these machines targets a different part of the leg though, with the leg extension targeting the quadriceps. These machines are distinguished by their slight angled seats (100 degrees from the back to the seat opposed to the 90 degree angle for normal seats) and a weighted resistance. To properly use this machine, you would sit on the seat with your knees bent and slowly raise your leg against the resistance of the weighted bar.

4. Fitness Bike

In addition to strength machines, many cardio machines also provide great workouts for your leg. In addition to burning tons of calories, exercise bikes use nearly every part of your leg. To properly use an exercise bike, you sit on it and pedal to your heart’s content. Your quads are being worked out for the downward portion of pedaling while your hamstrings are being used for the upward motion. The calf muscles are also used for the pushing and pulling motion of pedaling.

5. Elliptical

Elliptical machines are one of the most popular machines in the gym and luckily they’re also great for working your lower body. Elliipticals are awesome at working your hamstrings and even more so if your elliptical allows you to increase incline or even use the machine backwards. The quadriceps are also used when working out on an elliptical when you leg straightens.

No matter what workout goal you’re trying to accomplish, remember that your legs can play a vital part in nearly every exercise you do. It is important to strengthen them and make sure they can handle the load. You have plenty of choices at the gym but if you ever need any more help or tips, feel free to contact us.

1. Chest Press

When choosing a chest press machine, make sure it has an adjustable seat or you will not reap the maximum benefits of the workout. Adjust the seat so that your hand is in line with your chest. Also make sure that your feet can be placed flat on the floor. Always start with a lower weight, the ideal weight is one where you can do 8-16 repetitions with. Push the handles out, but don’t lock your elbows. Return to starting position. As the name clearly implies, this exercise is great for strengthening your chest.

2. Seated Shoulder Press

Generally, the names of exercise equipment is very informative. The seated shoulder press is a machine designed to strengthen the shoulder. Having strong shoulder muscles is the key to some more advanced upper body exercises, and a broad set of shoulders is one of the keys in achieving a great looking body. Again, an adjustable seat is important. Adjust the seat so the handlebars are at shoulder height. Extend the arms and lower them back to starting position.

3. Bicep Curl

The bicep curl machine is one of the most beloved machines when it comes to upper body workouts. This is the machine you want to use when you’re attempting to develop 26″ pythons or when you want to welcome people to the gun show. Sit at this machine with your feet flat on the ground. Rest your arm on the padded table, with your chest pressed against the table. Grab the bar and bend your elbow. Return to start and repeat this exercise and hopefully develop some bulging biceps or toned arms.

4. Lat Pull Down

The lat pullldown machine primarily works the latissimus dorsi muscles, the shoulder and the elbows. Like the machines in the previous entries, you should always have your feet flat on the ground when using this machine. Grip the handlebars with a wide grip, wider than your shoulders. Your arms should be in a v-shape. Pull the bar down to your chest, slowly return to start, then repeat.

These are just a few of the machines that you should utilize in your workouts when you’re trying to strengthen your upper body. Always remember that you shouldn’t just focus on the muscles you can flex in the mirror.

Precor C954i Treadmill

This is what many would describe as the original modern Precor treadmill. The Precor C954i is a heavy-duty machine that still offers the same smooth workout you find in more recent treadmills.
