Exercise atlases and training gates - what to look out for when shopping?Exercise atlas Before you buy an exercise atlas, define your expectations from the machine so that you can choose the functions and the type and number of stations accordingly. The basic equipment for an exercise atlas includes a bench, lifts (top and bottom), push-up bars, bottom bar (which can be used as a barbell or rowing machine) and a station for abdominal, leg and back exercises. Consider how many people will be using it. If you intend to exercise with a companion at the same time, choose a model suitable for simultaneous work of several users. An important consideration when buying an atlas is the maximum weight of the user and the stability of the equipment. Ensure double and comfortable back support and a seat with an adjustable option. The best models are those with a detachable backrest - this will allow you to exercise in a sitting, half squat or slump position. When choosing an exercise machine, pay attention to the possibility of extending the various functions. As you become more proficient, you should be able to increase the weights and add more elements to achieve better and better results. Exercise gates When purchasing an exercise gate or lift, pay attention to the robust and solid material (e.g. powder-coated steel) and the maximum allowable weight for exercise (your weight + additional load). This will translate into the lifespan of the machine and the comfort of use. The type of construction is important - stationary (e.g. the machine is fixed to the floor) or mounted to the ceiling or wall (it takes up little space, but provides less lifting capacity). The exercise gate should have the option to adjust the height of the arms vertically and horizontally so that they can be adjusted to suit the user and their needs. Ensure that the equipment has safety stops (to allow you to stop if, for example, you feel you have not completed the entire repetition), bars with clear marking of the weight of the weights and an aluminium stack adjustment handle with a spiral cable. The comfort of using the gantry or the lift will be enhanced by rubber bumpers that dampen the impact of the weight. Professional, home, bench - types of exercise atlas Depending on your level of training and your training goals, an exercise atlas may have the appropriate functionalities and be a more/less sophisticated machine.A professional exercise atlas is an advanced and multi-station machine designed for commercial use - for gyms, fitness centres, hotel gyms or personal training studios. The professional exercise atlas is a robust design that allows dozens of different exercises to be performed, so that any user, regardless of their level, can take care of their fitness and polish their form. They have many adjustment options, e.g. incline position, arm angle, headrest, seat and load, and are easy to use (you can adjust the parameters of interest to your requirements in seconds). This type of equipment is marked as class S according to EN 957 standards, i.e. intended for commercial or professional use. Home exercise atlas The number of stations and the range of exercises in this type of atlas depends on what level of training you are at. It is a good idea to choose equipment that will give you the opportunity to expand your existing functionality as you progress. When choosing a home exercise atlas, pay attention to the manufacturer's guarantee, the maximum weight of the user and the load used, as well as whether the machine meets the relevant safety standards (class H according to PN-EN 957 standards). The price of an exercise atlas usually depends on the number of stations, quality and brand. Due to its size, the atlas is a demanding piece of equipment. It is best to find a separate room for it, e.g. a garage, attic or basement. Exercise atlas with bench The exercise atlas with bench makes it possible to train not only the abdominal muscles (straight and oblique). Thanks to the adjustable angle of the bench, you can successfully engage your chest muscles, triceps or shoulder muscles. Single station exercise atlas This is usually a compact model equipped with an adjustable training bench (e.g. for sit-ups), a butterfly station (e.g. for sit-ups), an upper and lower lift (e.g. for rowing) and a prayer bar for exercising the biceps.
