Box Master Stations

From training for a match or boxing for total body fitness these stations are fully adaptable. Schedule a brief intro to BoxMaster with one of our certified trainers to learn how to adjust the station, proper form, and a quick run through on how to optimize your workout.

Functional Trainers

Participants gain confidence in their own abilities as they track their progress and accomplish their goals. Functional Trainers are multi-use cable stations that offer a variety of exercise options. The cable loaded weights can make your workout easier or harder as you train for movements in daily living. No experience necessary. 

Hoist Motion Cage

The Hoist Motion Cage has multiple stations and functions so several individuals can use the cage at once, working out on different things. The Cage offers battle ropes, pull ups, suspension trainers or a functional trainer. A Workout of the Week gives instruction on how to enjoy a full body workout using options available with the Hoist Motion Cage.
