Designing a gym.
Ok guys, I need some help. I've been asked to redesign my gym at work. I need some good sites for exercise equipment. I have to present, to a group, some ideas to replace some other equipment. It is a nonprofit gym so they have some money to spend.
I'm looking for a good: Squat rack (RACK not Cage), Heavy standing calf machine, Combo Hip abduction machine, (one that goes both ways if it exists).... hehehe... both ways :biglaugh: Decline bench with Olympic stand, and the big one... A Independent Leg Press Sled, (each leg can move independently or together). If you guys know of any good retailers it would be greatly appreciated. So far, the only companies I like are LifeFitness and Elite. Trying to find the special Leg Press Sled is the big one I'm looking for. |
Went to look at Elite on more time and I couldn't beleive I didn't see this.

Thats awesome that you get to do this, unfortunately I will be of no help finding stuff, I can google for stuff, but that prob wont help you much.
all the stuff in my gym is FLEX or something like that, and its ok but not the greatest. you've probrably already seen these but i'll post it anyway http://us.commercial.lifefitness.com...aterallegpress http://www.gymcor.com/squatrack.html |

What kind of weight do you think is appropriate on the sled itself, Dave? I've seen a few iso-lateral leg press machines with sled but I'm not sure you're gonna find one in which the whole sled isn't at least 200 pounds or more. And it seems to me if it were lighter it might be a little flimsy. I don't know really...they all seem to be at least that much.

Yeah. Here's one youv'e probably seen. The individual sled weights are 130 lbs. So it's still a little heavy, but I guess 260 is better than 350. But it's supposedly commercial quality.
