EGYM UK

We recently launched our latest Smart Strength line, the Series 3. This range is the latest evolution of our Smart Strength hardware line and features a complete ergonomic overhaul, deep software integration and a premium design. It represents our total system approach, and is designed to deliver consistent, high-quality training at scale.

As always with Smart Strength, seat position and settings adjust automatically when members log in.

Today’s members demand clear, guided workouts that are progressive, and the Series 3 has been built to meet these needs – we’ve prioritised the development of a frictionless training experience, with NFC-based access.

The EGYM Series 3 is standardised enough to scale, but individual enough to deliver real, lasting results

We designed Smart Strength as part of the EGYM Ecosystem, which means it adapts to different floor concepts and training philosophies without compromising personalisation. It slides into all kinds of facilities and brings customised, data-led training to members of all levels. In short, it’s standardised enough to scale, but individual enough to deliver lasting results.

We tailor solutions, so costs vary depending on the nature and scope of the solution provided.

Matrix Fitness UK

Our latest strength launch is building on the success of our Magnum Plate-Loaded Range; with nine new machines launched, built for serious lifters and high-traffic commercial gyms.

The expansion is in response to surging demand for strength training, with more members prioritising muscle gain, functional performance and free-weight-style workouts.

Each machine is engineered using athlete and operator feedback and has been designed to combine biomechanical precision, intuitive adjustments and heavy-duty durability.

Features include rotating grips on rowing stations and floating/fixed handle options on the incline lever row, as well as adjustable recline angles on the leg extension and smart band attachment points for progressive resistance training.

Many models in the Magnum Plate Loaded range feature compact footprints

Frame colour options and a proprietary two-coat powder finish are also part of the spec.

For members, that means equipment that suits different body types, goals and experience levels, while for clubs, it delivers a major point of differentiation: a modern strength zone that stands up to heavy use.

The Magnum Plate-Loaded Range allows clubs to create anything from a focused strength corner to a full premium plate-loaded zone, with many models featuring compact footprints.

What’s next in 2026?

We have a further four pieces joining the range in 2026. They include a seated lateral raise, decline pec fly, standing hip thrust and a standing hip abductor.

Absolute Performance

We’re seeing growing demand for space-saving equipment and to meet this requirement we supply the Kingsbox CX37 power racks with connecting storage – a setup that slots into most facilities.

This solution provides connecting storage for a well-organised workout space free from trip hazards, and also accommodates multiple users. This is a huge benefit for smaller clubs and gyms, as it enables them to meet demand at peak times without compromising on space or design.

Kingsbox racks are made from heavier-duty steel than the majority of others on the market, making them stronger and more durable. The versatile gym racks facilitate full-body workouts, making this a multifunctional training system.

They’re supplied complete with weight horns for storing plates, J hooks and safety spotting arms and there’s space for users to add a bench or upgrade with space-saving cable machines or a Smith-Press, eliminating the need for separate machines.

As this is a highly customisable piece of equipment with a range of different combinations and optional upgrades, the solution is designed and priced depending on the client’s needs. The same can be said about the space it requires. Our team can design and install a solution that complements the existing space to maximise its potential. From half racks to full racks, connecting or side storage, the possibilities to create a bespoke solution are many.

Kingsbox launched a double foldable pulley at FIBO. It enables the user to carry out a range of exercises, then fold it neatly away

What’s next in 2026?

As the official UK supplier of Kingsbox, we recently joined them at FIBO in Cologne, where they announced several product launches, including a double foldable pulley. This innovative design can be used as a regular rack or pulley system, allowing the user to carry out a range of exercises and fold it neatly away when not in use.

Perfect for small spaces, garage gyms or dual-purpose spaces, this is an incredible space-saving solution we can’t wait to bring to our customers.

Eleiko Group

Eleiko has expanded its cable training range with a lat pull down and low row combo – a compact, dual-function station designed to deliver more training variety within limited space.

Cable training continues to be a core component of modern gym design, due to its accessibility, versatility and ability to support a wide range of users.

This unit responds to that demand by combining two upper-body pulling movements into one station, allowing a fast switch between lat pull-downs and low rows.

Built within the Prestera and Eleiko cable ecosystem, it integrates into both standalone setups and larger multi-station configurations.

For lifters, it provides a controlled way to build strength across key movement patterns. For operators, it maximises functionality per square metre, improves training flow, and offers a low-maintenance solution suited to commercial gyms, boutiques, and studios.

The unit is available with 120kg or 150kg weight stack and operates on a 1:1 ratio for consistent resistance. Measuring 1560mm (L) x 620mm (W) x 2400mm (H), it delivers dual-function capability in a compact footprint.

Cable training continues to be a core component of modern gym design due to its accessibility and versatility

Supplied with a lat pulldown bar and neutral-grip low row handle, it’s compatible with attachments across the Eleiko cable and Prestera ranges.

The unit can be installed as a wall-mounted station or integrated into larger cable configurations.

What’s next in 2026?

Previewed at FIBO, our expanded platform and flooring range will introduce new systems for sound and vibration reduction and more customisation options, while our bar portfolio will grow to include specialist barbells.

Technogym

Clubs are seeing members increasingly expecting the same level of guidance and feedback in the strength area as they already experience in cardio and digital training.

Technogym Biostrength is our most advanced strength training solution, developed in response to this demand for personalised resistance training.

What makes Biostrength special is its adaptive digital resistance and full connectivity with the Technogym ecosystem.

Using AI-driven biofeedback, the equipment automatically adjusts load, tempo and range of motion to each user’s ability, goals and real-time performance. With no traditional weight stacks, Biostrength delivers safe and precise resistance.

For members, Biostrength provides a personalised and highly motivating training experience, suitable for everyone from beginners to elite athletes. It improves training quality, safety and results through guided execution and measurable progress through the Technogym App.

For clubs, Biostrength increases engagement, retention and onboarding efficiency, while reducing injury risk and the need for constant staff supervision. It also creates a fully data-driven strength ecosystem that integrates with the Technogym platform. The system simply requires standard electrical connectivity and full network integration to enable data tracking and software updates.

Life Fitness / Hammer Strength

In recent years we’ve seen a clear shift in how people want to train. There’s been a strong resurgence in traditional strength training, alongside rapid growth in community-based formats, such as hybrid training and small group training. Facilities need solutions that can support both, without constantly reconfiguring space or investing in new equipment.

Our Synrgy line has evolved to meet that demand. Its modular system can be configured in multiple ways – from compact, wall-based setups to more expansive rigs with monkey bars, cable stations and storage. This flexibility allows operators to adapt the space over time, keeping pace with changing trends while making efficient use of space.

For clubs, it creates a central training hub that supports both individual workouts and coached sessions, maximising usage and encouraging member engagement. For members, it offers a broad range of training options in one place, from foundational strength work through to dynamic, functional movement. Ultimately, it’s about creating an environment that feels intuitive, inclusive and built around how people actually train today.

Synergy is designed to be flexible, so cost and footprint vary depending on the chosen configuration. Systems can range from compact, wall-mounted options starting at around 4ft, through to larger, multi-user rigs that form a central feature within a facility. This scalability allows operators to tailor the solution to their available space, member profile and programming needs, while also incorporating integrated storage to help keep the training area organised.

We’ll be introducing the Hammer Strength Iso-Lateral T-Bar Row later this year

What’s next in 2026?

Following its preview at FIBO 2026, we’ll be introducing the Hammer Strength Iso-Lateral T-Bar Row later this year. It’s designed to offer a natural, independent movement pattern, with dual loading options that allow users to vary how they train. We’re also evolving several existing Hammer Strength plate-loaded pieces, refining biomechanics and enhancing the user experience.

Core Health and Fitness

Our latest strength training focus is the Nautilus Leverage range, developed to meet growing demand for performance-driven strength equipment that bridges the gap between free weights and traditional machines.

The collection includes a belt squat, standing calf, angled leg press, bicep curl, lying leg curl, tricep dip and leg extension, with more launches planned.

Members increasingly want the freedom and feel of plate-loaded training, combined with the safety and confidence of guided movement.

The range is designed with natural movement patterns, independent motion paths and strong biomechanics to create effective and comfortable workouts.

Members increasingly want the freedom and feel of plate-loaded training, with the safety of guided movement

Pricing for the Nautilus Leverage line depends on product selection, quantity and facility requirements, so we work with each operator to create the right solution rather than offering fixed pricing.

The range is designed to maximise training value while keeping the footprint as compact as possible – an important factor for clubs managing limited floor space.

What’s next in 2026?

Several new Nautilus Leverage products are launching in 2026 and 2027 as we continue expanding the range to meet growing demand for plate-loaded strength equipment. This expansion is helping create a true full-body strength solution, moving beyond our traditionally upper body focused offering to ensure every major muscle group is covered.

Operators will have more options for creating strength spaces that combine the feel of free weights with the safety and support of guided movement.

Indigo Fitness

One of our most recent strength developments is the IndigoFitness Cable Rack, created in response to demand for multifunctional strength spaces that support structured programming and flexible training.

We’ve seen a move away from large rows of single‑use machines, towards set-ups that enable clubs to do more with less floor space, without compromising quality, aesthetics, or training experience.

The Cable Rack is designed as an integrated strength solution, combining dual adjustable pulleys within a full rack structure. This allows operators to deliver everything from traditional resistance training to functional, rehab, small‑group and personal training within one cohesive system.

From a design perspective, it’s intentionally clean and architectural, with concealed cabling and customisations to suit the look and feel of each club.

For members, the key benefit is choice and progression. The cable rack supports a wide variety of movements, abilities and training styles in a single footprint. For operators, it maximises revenue per square metre, supports multiple use cases across the day, and aligns with the growing demand for premium strength spaces.

The IndigoFitness Cable Rack is a configurable system, with final pricing dependent on size, specification and finish. Footprints are flexible, making it suitable for both open gym floors and dedicated strength zones. Key technical considerations include ceiling height clearance for full pulley travel and appropriate load bearing floors.

The cable rack supports a wide variety of movements, abilities and training styles within a single footprint

What’s next in 2026?

A core focus is on modular, adaptable systems that support evolving training trends, from small‑group strength to performance‑led programming.

At Elevate, we’ll be showcasing concepts that prioritise space efficiency, longevity and a more considered user experience in strength training spaces.

Precor

The Discovery Strength Olympic Spotter Bench from Precor was developed to meet growing demand for free weight equipment that supports both independent and heavy lifting.

As more clubs invest in strength training areas, there’s a need for benches that deliver stability, durability and confidence for a wide range of exercisers, from beginners to experienced lifters.

The bench positions exercisers for effective pressing movements. Adjustable spotter arms provide support for those training alone, while adjustable J-hooks allow for precise setup across different body types and lifting styles.

We’re expanding our spotter bench family to include incline, decline and shoulder press variations

High-impact wear-guards protect contact points and allow for easy replacement, extending product life. Eight integrated weight storage horns keep plates organised and within reach, improving safety and efficiency.

The bench has a footprint of 171 x 162 x 189 cm and a product weight of 170 kg.

What’s next in 2026?

Building on the Olympic Spotter Bench, we’re expanding our spotter bench family to include incline, decline and shoulder press variations, creating a more complete lineup. In addition, we’re introducing a new Pro Squat to further strengthen our plate-loaded portfolio. Together, these launches focus on improving training versatility, durability and user safety, while supporting heavier lifting environments, giving clubs more flexibility to build high-performance, well-rounded strength training areas.

Drax Fitness UK

We launched 32 new strength products in Q1 this year. The first 10 in our new Vector pin-loaded range and additions to our Pure Plate range, which is aimed at the global independent gym market.

The Vector pin-loaded range has independent and converging movement arms and includes multiple pieces which overlap in function.

User position, cam designs, lines of force and enhanced user adjustments are the variables around which all our strength innovations are designed.

Benefits of the new Vector Range include reduced muscular imbalances, increased muscle activation and improved range of motion. The redesign was influenced by client demand, with the new line already featuring in gyms in Japan and Korea.

The Vector range can be specified with multiple weight stack covers as standard. They’re available with 140kg and 180kg (Leg Press) heavy weight stacks and custom upholstery, and can be equipped with the DraxFit Sports Science AI fitness platform and app. This enables customised workouts for members and assists clubs in monitoring members’ progress.

Pricing is competitive and similar to our established Welliv Pro pin-loaded strength range, with lower profile weight stacks and weight upgrades available. All equipment comes prebuilt and has a minimal footprint, reducing install times and cost for clients.

We’ve started work on a new low-profile, luxury, pin-loaded range called Aigen

What’s next in 2026?

We will be launching an additional 15 pieces of the Vector range by H2 2026, along with multiple new Pure Plate pieces, including a pendulum squat, hip thrust belt squat and seated calf raise, to name just a few.

We’ve also started work on a new low-profile, luxury, pin-loaded range called Aigen which we showcased at FIBO More details about this will be released later in 2026

PSLT

DHZ Fitness is our primary strength partner in the UK and the latest focus is the DHZ Titan range.

Operators are looking for strength equipment that consistently delivers three things – reliability under heavy use, a premium feel without a premium price tag and equipment that works for experienced lifters and everyday members

Titan is built for commercial environments and from a user perspective, it’s accessible but still serious enough for stronger users.

It sits in the mid-market range price-wise, but we believe it performs closer to premium-tier equipment.

Rather than quoting one fixed price, we work with operators to build out a full solution – because layout, flow and mix matter just as much as the kit.

From a space perspective, individual pieces fit standard strength footprints, while full gym layouts can be scaled from smaller studios through to large commercial facilities. We focus on helping operators get the most out of the space they have – not just filling it with equipment.

Titan is built for commercial environments and from a userperspective, it’s accessible but still serious enough for stronger users

What’s next in 2026?

Our focus for 2026 includes expanding the DHZ range, continuing to integrate strength with cardio and functional training and supporting operators with layout, service, and long-term asset management.

We’re focused on helping operators create environments that people want to train in – and keep coming back to. That’s where the real value sits.

ZIVA Strength

Strength training has long been the missing chapter in the hospitality wellness story. Cardio suites and functional accessories have evolved beautifully, but when a hotel guest walked into the strength area, the aesthetic conversation often stopped.

That’s the gap Lumina Strength was built to close. We’ve seen significant demand from property developers, hotel fitness directors and wellness operators who want strength in their spaces but have struggled to find equipment that belongs there visually.

Warm-grey finishes, and commercial-grade construction result in a space that feels considered rather than intimidating

The Lumina cable station, half rack, power rack, squat rack and Smith machine bring the same nature-inspired design that defines the Lumina line – warm-grey finishes and commercial-grade construction – to foundational strength training. For guests and members, the result is a space that feels considered rather than intimidating.

For clubs and operators, it means a strength floor that complements the broader investment in interior design.

The pieces suit standard wellness centre dimensions and all stand at approximately 235cm, which is well within typical commercial ceiling clearance. Every structural piece carries a 10-year warranty on frames and welding.

What’s next in 2026?

Beyond the Lumina line, we also have a dedicated ZIVA Strength series in the pipeline.

Dyaco International

The Spirit I‑Strength Series is our latest innovation. It was created to meet the growing demand for smart, intuitive and data‑enhanced strength equipment.

Operators across commercial gyms, hospitality spaces and premium residential facilities want machines that offer better guidance for beginners, deeper engagement for regular users, and a modern, connected experience without adding operational complexity. I‑Strength was engineered precisely for that.

Each machine features an integrated console that tracks reps, tempo, time under tension and progression, giving members real‑time insight into their performance. The interface helps users of all experience levels train with confidence.

The series includes four intelligent training modes. Pure delivers consistent resistance for classic strength training, while Eccentric increases load during the lowering phase to build control and muscle strength.
