We round up the latest launches and innovations in the world of strength training


Powering through

Jordan Fitness has added an updated version of PowerWave and new technique discs to its product range.

A workout for the entire body, PowerWave 2.0 is designed to aid posture and develop core strength and endurance. The latest version features a special grip training system, with thick padded griptracks allowing for greater movement within the workout while extending the movement repertoire of the programme. It is available in three models – Super, Spartan and Beast.

Meanwhile, PoweR Olympic technique weightlifting discs are for beginners, allowing them to adopt correct posture through an entire movement. They can be used for novice or junior weightlifting, physiotherapy, CrossFit or boot camp classes, or standard training.

Speedy alternative

Circuit-based group training concept Speedflex has been created to offer individuals an alternative to conventional exercise. Each 45-minute session is led by an experienced personal trainer and aims to combine a low impact, high intensity CV and resistance workout for optimum calorie burn.

Hydraulics and electrical impulses allow the machines to create resistance, using only concentrically-based forces while eliminating all gravity-based (eccentric) forces. By getting rid of these forces, which usually need to be performed at a slow speed with great control, there is a greatly reduced chance of injury, according to Speedflex.

The Speedflex machine has a free motion bar which requires users to apply force through the entirety of the exercise, as opposed to increased force in one direction, followed by a controlled movement back to the starting position.

Design discovery

Precor has unveiled a redesigned Smith machine as part of its Discovery Series plate-loaded strength range. Its ergonomically designed 11-degree frame angle optimises the way the body moves naturally through a squat movement, according to the company.

At 25lbs, Precor says the bar assembly provides a comfortable starting point for new exercisers, while the weight plate storage is optimised for easy loading and unloading at sensible heights. In line with the rest of the Discovery range, QR codes link to instruction videos in the Precor Coaching Centre.

Design discovery
Parallettes dimension

Identifying a trend towards bodyweight training and developing strength through loaded balance moves sparked the development of Physical Company’s newly-launched parallettes. They were created in conjunction with Wild Training founder and personal trainer James Griffiths.

The Physical Company parallettes have been designed to be sturdy, with handles made from foam offering support and grip. Each weighs just over 2kg and they are fitted with rubber feet to ensure stability and grip on the ground. The parallettes can be used indoors and outdoors on a range of floors and surfaces.

At 10 inches high and with handles 12 inches long, they offer enough ground clearance for key moves but are low enough to ensure users combine skills and strength to keep good form.

Strength selection

Cybex has launched a 21-piece line of selectorised strength equipment that has been created as a solution for ‘walk-up and workout’ users. Design emphasis for the Prestige Strength VRS line was placed on being biomechanically correct, visually striking and durable, according to Cybex.

Meanwhile, Cybex has also become the official equipment supplier to British Weight Lifting, the national governing body for Olympic weightlifting and Paralympic powerlifting.

Under the terms of a long-term agreement, Cybex will be providing its strength training equipment for British athletes and at all the British Weight Lifting competitions.
