LeverEDGE Strength Training Equipment Launched By Legend Fitness

December 14, 2010 /
Legend Fitness continues to establish themselves as a new leader and an innovator in the fitness equipment marketplace with the introduction of a plate-loaded, unilateral line of strength training equipment called LeverEDGE. Developed using three-dimensional CAD design and several proof-of-concept prototypes, the LeverEDGE line enters the industrial strength training market offering thoroughly researched biomechanics, competitive pricing and a high degree of versatility.

Unilateral plate-loaded strength training machines have a broad appeal. Body builders and powerlifters favor them for the greater load weight versus the typical pin select machine and the relative freedom of movement. Health clubs and fitness facilities employ this type of fitness equipment more and more as they move toward the athletic performance model and because they offer lower unit cost and a high safety factor.

In response to this need, Legend Fitness has developed eight LeverEDGE models that represent very strong value in the plate-loaded unilateral segment, with more models under development. “The LeverEDGE line was designed from the outset to be biomechanically correct, and from there we incorporated a lot of adjustability to accommodate a wide variety of users while keeping the machine as simple as possible,” says Pierre Steenekamp, president. The favorable side effects of this simplicity is a more rigid frame and components that are both more affordable and easier to maintain. For instance, each machine in the LeverEDGE line is as fully welded as possible, yet will break down just enough to fit through a standard single door and all models employ pillow block bearings that are extra durable yet also easy to replace. Additionally, most LeverEDGE models feature a smaller footprint than comparable models from the competition, freeing up valuable floor space.
