The Powertec Workbench Ab Plus was a quirky machine. I only ever got a handful. It is a real walk down memory lane in terms of training styles. This was a time when people thought the only way they could train abs was with a machine. Nowadays there are so many other simpler ways. In […]

The Powertec Workbench Leg Press Attachment was one attachment that had a mixed response. Some people liked it while others were not impressed. I reluctantly sold it, only after a few people said they liked it. After a while it become too much trouble. Personally I feel the actual concept of a leg press attachment […]

The Powertec Vertical Gym was a real quirky gym. Definitely not my cup of tea, but it was popular with some. When you look at the footprint, it was not far off the Powertec Leverage Gym. The extra space and money was well worth stepping up to the bigger gym. This recommendation was based on […]

The Powertec Complact LeverGym was a great concept and showcased excellent design skills. It just was not that great to use. Before I outline my criticisms I should declare bias. My preference is always simplicity over complexity. My job as a fitness equipment retailer is to get people the best possible gym equipment for their […]

The Powertec Leverage Chest Press was a great little machine. It was very basic, but yet delivered a timeless chest exercise. In true Powertec style it featured some extra functionality. The simple angle adjustment allowed you to do incline and decline leverage bench press. Sadly this machine was discontinued not long after I started distributing […]

Writing about the Powertec Leverage Leg Extension/Curl brings a tear to my eyes. It is a real story about what could have been. After personally witnessing how popular a plate loaded leg extension leg curl machine could be, I feel Powertec made a mistake by removing this machine from their range. The Leverage Leg Extension/Curl […]

The Powertec Leverage Low Row was another machine that had loads of potential. We had one set up in the showroom many moons ago. It was not the best row. But it certainly wasn’t the worse. In a gym environment it was a handy addition. We used it many times in back workouts. Powertec Leverage […]

It was machines like the Powertec Leverage QuikFit System that made me really proud to be a Powertec dealer. You have to remember. It was before 2010 and the options for affordable gym equipment was really limited. There was simply nothing on the market even remotely comparable to this system. Having had one set up […]

The new generation of Shoulder press machines are now set at a comfortable angle. You can really contour your body into the movement. The angle not only makes the exercise feel great, it also eliminates undue stress on the deltoids often experienced with traditional upright machines. The arc of the motion is still the same […]

The Powerlever was originally developed to duplicate the pattern of the traditional standing barbell curl for biceps and forearms. This has been accomplished in probably the best arm curl machine you’ll ever feel. It was also discovered that the unique scissors type lever arm motion provides the perfect patterns for many strength building exercises such […]

Great value home gym for the free weight trainer The well-established hot yellow color is not the only thing that makes the Powertec Bench/Rack System different. The bench can be removed allowing access to a heavy duty squat rack. The bench is on wheels so it can be easily moved in and out. Simple yet […]

The POWERTEC Leverage T-Bar Row is a simple yet highly effective piece of equipment. If you want to add size and strength then you won’t go wrong with this unit. The angled footplates put you in the perfect position to perform this exercise properly. There is no cheating here! It can really stop you in […]
