Life Fitness announces new Signature Series plate loaded line

Life Fitness is complementing its premium strength training line, Signature Series, with the addition of new plate-loaded equipment. The new machines boast the aesthetics, ease-of-use, and heritage that Life Fitness and Hammer Strength products are recognized for today. Six machines are available now, with a further 6 coming down the line later this year.

Created to offer superior industrial design and biomechanics, the new line accents the elegance of existing Life Fitness Signature Series products. Recognised for its ease of use, Signature Series will now provide a comprehensive strength-training solution perfect for exercisers of all levels. Each piece in the family was put to the test in the Life Fitness reliability and biomechanics labs.

Users will experience the independent, converging and diverging movements of the world’s original plate loaded equipment, Hammer Strength. They will also find it easy to get into a correct, comfortable position due to the products’ ergonomically sound design. Plus every piece of plate-loaded equipment features pictorial placards to further enhance ease of use.

The equipment is available in nine different, customisable frame colours and upholstery for the machines’ contoured pads is offered in more than 30 different colours. The tubing for the new line is also consistent with the existing Signature Series family of products.
