TRX Training Zones

Functional fitness expert TRX has teamed up with spatial design company Aktiv Solutions to create the TRX Training Zone. Launched at IHRSA 2016 in Orlando, US, the TRX Training Zones are customisable, modular systems for a robust functional training experience.  

The solution has space for a range of functional training modes for individuals, small groups and groups and features monkey bars, pull-up bars and stall bars.

Tailored floor and wall graphics provide a self-guided functional training experience. Also included are storage solutions for tools and accessories.

The different modules available to create a Training Zone include bridge, wall and corner units.

Rugged targets boredom

Rugged Interactive unveiled its versatile, boredom-busting training tool at the inaugural Elevate show, which took place in London, UK, in May.

The CardioWall Pro-X Club has 14 sensor pods, shock absorber suspension arms and a 15-inch touchscreen control panel. Users can choose to take part in a high intensity interval training session (HIIT), or work on reaction, speed or stamina settings.

The machine also has cognitive functions and balance training, as well as warm-up and cool-down functions.

Internet connectivity allows world ranking positions to be shared and performances stored.

Training corner

Demand for versatile functional training is growing, but many gyms only have limited room to offer this sort of training. Step forward Precor’s Queenax Corner Unit – a new addition to the Precor portfolio of products following its acquisition of Queenax last year – which delivers space-efficiency and functionality.

The unit accommodates up to four exercisers at any one time for partner work or individual training and features two stations designed for suspension training, pull/chin-ups and battle ropes, along with a plyometric platform, a fixed parallels dip station, two torso trainers and four vertical bars.

Six Kombi shelves on the structure provide a storage solution for fast and easy stowing of accessories to keep the gym floor space clear.

Working together

The ProLog from D2F Fitness is an obstacle course-inspired weight for group use, both indoors and out.
Taking the trend for extreme fitness challenges into health club programming, the ProLog is a group training system where every team member has to work together and co-ordinate their efforts to achieve a common goal.

Up to four people can use the ProLog at any one time, with its range of weighted inserts and handles across the top and sides facilitating multiple exercises and carrying techniques.

All-in-one solution

Exigo has developed a range of modular functional training rigs to accommodate multiple users at any one time.

The rigs offer adaptable training focused on strength, stability and exercise form – all designed to challenge users beyond standard resistance training.
Exigo Functional Rigs can be accessorised with a wide range of attachments, including combat bags, cables, ropes, bands, suspension trainers and other smaller pieces of equipment.

The compact freestanding designs are made from heavy duty triangular columns, incorporating functional attachments.
