      Multi-Gym Equipment
      More exercises, less space. That pretty much sums up what our multi-gym equipment are about. They’re exactly what practical gym buffs who have limited space for their home gyms need. Our multi-gyms are best for trainers who are serious about building their overall body strength. They target multiple areas of your body and take up less space than all the other machines that hit the same muscles combined. They are not the cheapest equipment, but...

      A variety of options offered by our quality power rack and cages are well known to the experienced weight trainer or powerlifter.For those who are new to weightlifting, bodybuilding or strength training, the flexibility, variety, and size of the gym equipment make this a “must have” in your home gym.We also provide a full range of attachments and accessories such as dip handles, chin-up bars, band attachments to name a few....

      Half/Squat Racks
      Squat racks or half racks are an effective powerlifting training solution and is similar to a power rack. Instead of the equipment having four uprights, they only have two.These are typically bridged at the top with a cross member that nearly always features a chin-up bar.This not only adds a tremendous amount of functionality, it makes the set up a lot more solid – which is critical when performing squats....

      Smith Machines
      Don’t let the absence of a spotter stop you from working out! Our Smith Machines allow you to crank out your reps and blast your biceps, triceps, lats, and other muscle groups safely while you are training alone. Smith Machines look like power cages with their four uprights but they come with a lifting bar that is permanently attached to their vertical guide rails. This makes them a safer alternative for trainers who want to lift heavy barbells...

      Benches
      A quality bench will be the real workhorse of your gym, which is why it is critical to get something that can stand up to the rigors of regular training.The most basic bench is the flat bench. These were the most common type of benches in the early days of weight training.For serious home gym users or personal trainers that are tight on space, the FID bench is very popular. As the acronym suggests (FID = Flat, Incline, Decline) you get to perform...

      The number of exercises you can perform with a barbell is remarkable, and while there are many pieces of highly functional gym equipment, what makes the barbell stand out from the pack is the quality of the workout you’ll get.Given their cost in relation to the functionality that they offer, a barbell will be one of the best investments that you can make for your gym.

      Nearly all weight trainers would have dumbbells in their top 3 essential pieces of gym equipment. I can’t think of any other piece of kit that is as versatile as a pair of dumbbells.The reason they are so essential is that the exercises that you can do with dumbbells are often the most effective. So that is why you will nearly always see some kicking around in any gym....

      Chest and Shoulder Machines
      Chest and shoulder machines are designed for working specific upper body muscle groups without having to adjust your gym equipment between exercises, like when you are training on a power rack.On a specialty machine you only need to make minor adjustments for your height, put on the weight and you can start training.Although they are designed primarily for one or two exercises, our chest and shoulder machines often have dual functionality – the...

      Functional strength and conditioning isn’t just about building bigger muscles: this type of training helps you perform your most important day-to-day tasks and activities. If you’re determined to excel in a particular sport or continue performing a specific activity, try functional strength and conditioning training. Whether it’s the intensity of training or specific conditioning exercises you want to know, we’ve got you covered....
      Grip Strength
      Putting your grip strength training on the back burner is tantamount to fitness suicide. Why? Your lifts at the gym depend on it. If you have a weak grip, your lifts won’t be as powerful as you need them to be. Improving your grip strength isn’t as simple as it sounds, however. So we’ve made it easier for you by laying out the different kinds of grips and grip training techniques to help improve this aspect of your training. Once you streng...
      Olympic Weight Lifting
      Take your weight training to the next level with Olympic weightlifting. Contrary to what some people think, Olympic weightlifting is not just for Olympic athletes. But if you want to train like one, then Olympic weightlifting is for you. Olympic lifts may look simple, but they really aren’t. There’s a lot of science involved in the snatch and clean and jerk. On that note, we’re here to help you understand how to do these lifts properly, the...
      Powerlifting
      If you want to up the ante in your training, try powerlifting. Trust me, it will take every ounce of strength and power that your body can muster to do it! Do you think you’re up for it? Even the most seasoned lifters need help. We can assist you in your powerlifting endeavours by breaking down its benefits and workout routines so you can reap its full benefits or have a higher chance at winning the next powerlifting event....
      Strength Building
      More muscle mass means nothing without strength: if your strength levels cannot handle heavy loads and more reps, you will never achieve your fitness goals. We’re here to help you conquer whatever obstacles may come your way at the gym. That’s why we’ve laid out time-tested training for strength principles and activities which will help you achieve and sustain your peak strength levels....
      Strongman
      Strongman training is not for the faint of heart: if you feel you have what it takes to pull a train or squat with a boulder, you may be qualified. However, intuition isn’t enough: knowledge about strongman events, proper nutrition, and training techniques are essential if you want to excel at it. We can help you master these so you can start your strongman training on the right foot....

      Abs
      If you’re training hard just to get ripped abs, you’re not doing it right. A better mindset and long-term goal is to train for stronger abs so you can move your body with ease while having the killer body you want. Don’t get me wrong. It’s perfectly okay to want to have a six-pack. All I’m saying is strong abdominal muscles will beat good-looking abs any time, any day. On this page, we’ll share with you several principles about streng...
      Forearms
      Do you want to make your arm muscles bulge like Popeye’s? Proper knowledge about arm training is the key. A balanced proportion between your biceps and triceps will not only wow the judges in any bodybuilding contest, but it will also make you feel good about yourself and inspire others to get the same killer arms that you have. If you want to know how to build a set of guns that can put Arnold’s to shame, you’re in the right place....
      Back
      While your chest and arm muscles share the limelight, your back muscles take a backseat. We dare say the latter is one of the most underrated muscle groups, which is a shame since the strength of your body depends on the strength of your back. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to get a strong back, but the payoffs are absolutely worth it. We can share with you certain training techniques and other principles so you can develop a bigger,...
      Biceps
      Which muscle group shows off the most eye-catching muscle pumps while you’re cranking out those reps at the gym? That’s right: your biceps. Nothing beats the feeling of these insane muscle pumps that usually occur when you do intense biceps exercises. The feeling of blood engorging your muscles is enough to power you through your next set. We can help you sustain that adrenaline rush with several principles and training methodologies focusing...
      Calves
      If your impressive upper body is supported by chicken legs and calves that are barely there, then you need to take a long, hard look at what you’ve been doing all this time at the gym. Building your calves is one of the keys to having a proportional body, which is everything in bodybuilding. We have laid out several tips and tricks to help you avoid having toothpick legs and overcome this stumbling block once and for all....
      Chest
      With chest day’s immense popularity, the federal government might as well declare it a national holiday. But as fun as this day is, don’t get caught up in doing the same chest exercises repeatedly. After all, predictability is the bane of muscle growth! For our part, we have laid out several chest exercises and chest training principles to help you get the most out of your chest day routine....
      Core
      Let’s get one thing straight: your abs and core are NOT the same. Most of the newbies I’ve met at the gym think 6-pack abs equal to a strong core. They are not! If you’re new to working out, my general recommendation is for you to build a strong core first. I always say that before you do any killer moves to get ripped abs, you need to make sure your core is strong enough to take abdominal abuse later on. Trust me, your abs and the rest of...
      Glutes
      Aside from your chest and arm muscles, what other muscle group can you flaunt with ease and turn heads with? That’s right: your glutes. If you’re looking for help to take your glute training to the next level, you’ve come to the right place. When you combine our training methods and ideas with a strong work ethic at the gym, you’re not far off from getting a set of killer glutes....
      Knees
      Are walking, running, bending, kneeling, and jumping an integral part of your everyday routine? If that’s the case, then it’s time to prioritise your knees. Your knees take the brunt of the impact from these activities. If they aren’t in tip-top shape, then you are compromising on your overall quality of life. If your knees are not as strong as they were before, we’re here to help: we have identified several training methods which will he...
      Legs
      If you’re sick of your chicken legs, then you better look forward to leg day at the gym. Legs that are lagging behind in terms of strength and size as compared to the rest of your body are not a pretty sight. But don’t fret: we have laid out several time-tested leg training techniques and principles to help you develop bigger and stronger legs, and a proportional and muscular body overall....
      Neck
      Here’s a sad fact: many blokes at the gym neglect their neck training. You shouldn’t. For one, your neck is a great area to warm up prior to your heavy pressing and pulling days. A strong neck also lessens the impact of a concussion in team sports. This is very important especially if you’re a rugby or Aussie rules football player. If you want to start training your neck the way you should, our time-tested tips and tricks should be able to...
      Shoulders
      Sometimes, the weight of the world is on your shoulders. That’s why it’s imperative you develop this particular muscle group. We can help you single out the most effective training methods so your shoulders will be capable of handling the heaviest loads imaginable....
      Thighs
      Muscular thighs can give people the impression that you are a perfectionist: you pay attention to a particular muscle group others take for granted. As with the other parts of your lower body, it takes a lot of work to make your thighs stand out from the rest of the pack. If you want to learn how to train your thighs the right way, our time-tested principles and training techniques can help....
      Triceps
      Big biceps mean nothing if your triceps are as tiny as your thumbs. On that note, training your triceps is equally important as training your biceps. Sure, they are not as visible as your biceps due to their location, but if you really want proportional and stronger arms, then training your triceps should be a non-negotiable. Check out our specific methods and suggested training ideas to help you blast your triceps at the gym....
