Strength training is booming, with operators looking to meet rising demand. The all-new new three-rig series from BLK BOX offers opportunities for clubs of all sizes to refine and customise fitness zones
With rigs and racks now highly desirable flagship structures in many health club strength training zones, BLK BOX has launched its next evolution of power equipment for the fitness market.
The new fully-scalable customisable 1, 3, 5 Series has been designed to meet the evolving demands of smaller gyms and studios, mid-range to larger health clubs and elite sports and training facilities, giving users access to high-performance training at every level.
A core strength of the new three-series range also comes from the extensive ‘real life’ research conducted by the BLK BOX team, who went beyond merely consulting with gym operators to reach the actual pro users – the athletes and coaches who interact with the equipment on a daily basis.
BLK BOX founder Greg Bradley says: “Their insights on usability, comfort, and functionality have informed every feature of our new rigs and racks. It ensured that what we manufactured in-house at our Belfast HQ perfectly solves all their daily training needs and delivers an elevated experience to regular members too.”
Along with extensive function also comes standout form, as each series comes with the option of custom colour matching, custom branding and a whole range of modular add-ons to ensure each facility can have a strength training set-up that’s unique and tailor-made for the club and the members.
The 1, 3, 5 Series lowdown:
Bradley continues: “We’ve built the 1 Series for those operators entering the market that need a fast solution. The 3 Series has been designed for ambitious heath and fitness facilities that are ready to scale and the 5 Series has been developed for professional environments that require peak performance and unlimited customisation.”
1 Series
The 1 Series design is an off-the-shelf solution (in 60x60mm steel), the development of which was driven by client requests for shorter lead times without compromising on quality and materials.
It’s designed to be delivered and assembled quickly – so is perfect for smaller gyms, schools and quick turnaround projects.
3 Series
The 3 Series (in 70x70mm steel) is designed for facilities already benefiting from the huge interest in strength training, and wanting to scale their offerings to follow this trend and meet rising member demand.
Its modularity means it can grow alongside the club, while many possibilities exist for branding, customisations and functional add-ons meaning it can become a one-of-kind structure that’s a real lead magnet for new members and a talking point for existing ones.
Being able to create a unique set-up with bespoke colourways and features helps operators differentiate from their competitors while greatly improving member satisfaction and retention.
Function can be future-proofed as members’ training needs evolve. For example, it integrates with BLK BOX’s Nexus cable system to encourage greater creativity, endless versatility and optimised training engagement.
5 Series
For those demanding ultimate quality and precision, this is BLK BOX’s flagship strength offering that comes with a lifetime durability guarantee. Built for premium clubs, elite universities and high-performance centres, it caters to the rigorous demands of professional athletes and high-level users.
The rigs and racks (in 80x80mm steel) include detailed customisation options and precision adjustments, so coaches can deliver sessions tailored exactly to clients’ needs – from performance testing attachments to adjustments that support peak performance in every session. It ensures a meaningful training experience to those with the most demanding needs.
Visually, it can also become a real showstopping structure, with the highest levels of bespoke branding, colours and modular add-ons available.
