Getting Riggy With It – Completely bespoke functional training rig solutions from EXF

At EXF our functional training rigs are anything but ordinary. With 28 years of expertise behind us, our team knows that buying a functional training rig can be a big investment. We put our customers at the heart of what we do and work together to understand their vision. This is why everything we create is completely bespoke to the customer’s needs.

"We pride ourselves on the expertise and knowledge of our in-house engineering team in making even the most challenging concept a reality. Whatever the brief, we can bring your ideas to life, whilst guaranteeing the highest standard of finish," says Ben Steadman, business development director for EXF. All our functional training rigs are designed and manufactured right here in the UK, using the very best in British steel. We use 80mm box steel as the absolute minimum for all our rigs to ensure durability and a design that will last. To give our customers peace of mind, our frames come with a 10-year warranty should anything go wrong.

Our UK manufacturing centre means we can create and adapt to produce optimum results. We are often called upon to solve problems where other suppliers have fallen short, and we have never failed to deliver a solution. With lead times as little as two weeks, we also pride ourselves on our ability to get our customer’s vision turned around quickly should it be required. If you’re looking to create a functional training rig for your facility, why not come and see us at this year’s Elite Sports Performance Expo. Taking place between the 9 and 10 May at London Excel, our team will be on hand on stand #2152 to discuss your functional training needs.

Company Details
EXF Fitness

EXF design and manufacture equipment from their UK base in Suffolk.

EXF offer so much more than modular systems and pick and mix installations, they don’t stock ‘standard’ sizes as everything is produced to a bespoke design. 25 years of experience means they can create high-quality fitness experiences in even the most challenging of spaces, providing everything from the flooring, to the equipment, to the storage.

Without these limits and restrictions, EXF are able to create the most exciting and innovative workout experiences in fitness; their work can be seen in Gymbox, Ministry Does Fitness and Mob45 to name a few.

The in-house installation team is able to work with the utmost flexibility to suit any schedule. EXF believe wholeheartedly in premium quality and offer unrivalled guarantees to give you complete piece of mind. The flooring products all confirm to EN standards.

EXF is also a truly British manufacturing option for any company currently producing their products abroad and their innovative ideas often mean they can produce products locally for the same or less cost without a dip in quality.
