PRESS RELEASE
Escape Fitness expands frame range with the launch of Octagon LITE
31 Mar 2025
Escape Fitness has introduced Octagon LITE / Escape Fitness
Ritchie Januszek, Director of Product & Engineering Services, Escape Fitness explains: “The Octagon frame range has become a benchmark in functional fitness, and we’re always looking for ways to evolve our offering. With Octagon LITE, we’ve taken the essence of our established Octagon frames and created a condensed option that provides a less intimidating aesthetic and optimises current hybrid training trends made popular by Hyrox and Crossfit.”
Crafted with precision at Escape’s state-of-the-art facility in the UK, Octagon LITE is a bolt-down option which offers the flexibility to add up to four accessories including the Battle Rope Eye, Torso Trainer, Extended Catch Racks and Bar Holder.
Frame designs range from the Half Box to the Double-Sided Half Squad with Lifting Stations. Each is equipped with essential features such as weight horns, adjustable catch racks and shelving options, enabling efficient equipment storage and easy access for dynamic training sessions.
“Training facilities today need solutions that can do more with less space.” Januszek adds. “Octagon LITE is engineered to maximise every square foot whilst delivering an engaging member experience. It’s a game-changer for gyms, PT studios and functional training zones looking for a high-quality, multi-purpose, affordable frame.”
Escape Fitness has a longstanding reputation for pushing the boundaries of functional training, and Octagon LITE is no exception. Constructed from premium-grade steel, it offers the strength and stability required for intense workouts while maintaining a sleek and efficient footprint, allowing facilities to expand and evolve their training zones.
With customisation options available, including branding, colour finishes and additional storage solutions, Octagon LITE offers both aesthetic appeal and functional impact. To learn more about how Escape Fitness can elevate your training environment, visit www.escapefitness.com

Testimonial
“'Load' takes strength training to a new level, providing a training experience that is a truly unique concept allowing customers to stand, using the strength stations with resistance bands and weight plates. This setup provides a highly effective full body training experience, allowing members to lift, push, and pull with controlled resistance that challenges traditional strength workouts.
"This is the first time this level of adaptable, resistance-based strength training has been integrated into a group studio setting, bridging the gap between functional strength and high-intensity circuit training. 'Load' has allowed us to expand our programming potential. Its versatility is helping us develop new sessions that cater to both total strength development and performance-based training, ensuring our offering continues to evolve to meet customer demand.
"Working with Escape Fitness throughout the design and installation process has been a fantastic experience. Their attention to detail and expertise helped us integrate 'Load' in a way that enhances both functionality and member experience, providing a turnkey solution and setting a new benchmark for group strength training.”
– Kieron Vango, CEO, Inverclyde Leisure

Testimonial
"The team at SoCal are really excited to have been the first in the world to offer 'Load' to their community. The concept brings a whole new dimension to athletic strength training. The standing position means every muscle is engaged in every movement, accelerating the training effect, whilst the integration of resistance bands improves precision and cuts down on transition times.
“Working with Escape is always a great experience. The equipment not only engineered to deliver a faultless training experience, it is also extremely robust. We have some of California’s biggest, most experienced, powerlifters using our facility and the Escape equipment is more than up to the job.”
– Jason Talyor, VP of facilities.
