Functional Training on fitness rigs
In functional training you obviously don’t just work with your own bodyweight. Training tools like sling trainers, elastic bands or the revvll rope trainer all need a suspension structure in order to be used. Training frames pose as the central suspension point for your functional training tools and offer bodyweight exercises like pull-ups and dips. Everything you need for a complete workout in one compact fitness station.
Training platform for group training
Training frames are very different to the well-know strength stations in which you sit down and then perform a range of different exercises. In functional training you seldom sit during workouts because we already sit too long each day. Functional training rigs allow for group training because different training tools can be used at the same time. This makes them very attractive especially for gyms and studios.
Less is more
Many training rigs try to accommodate every possible exercise in one frame but end up hurting their own cause. If, for example, a kettlebell rack is integrated into the frame it uses up valuable training space. If the training possibilities are defined too rigorously it restricts the training more than it actually enriches it. Especially functional training is characterized by the freedom of movement that the tools offer. When the training rig is too big it takes away space for free training without the structure.
