Used Plate-Loaded Strength Equipment

What Types of Used Plate-Loaded Machines Does Global Fitness Sell?

Plate-loaded gym equipment refers to strength training machines that use weight plates as resistance. They feature a frame with movable levers or arms with weight plates. Global Fitness sells a variety of these machines, targeting all the major muscle groups. Here are some of the most common types: 

• Leg press: Provides a workout that strengthens the legs with a pressing motion. 
• Chest press: Mimics a bench press movement to focus on the chest muscles.
• Shoulder press: Simulates an overhead press to develop strength and muscles in the shoulders. 
• Lat pulldown: Replicates a pull-up movement, targeting the muscles in the back. 
• Seated row: Works the back muscles by pulling the weight toward one's torso. 
• Leg extension: Focuses on the quads by straightening the lower legs against resistance. 
• Leg curl: Targets the hamstrings by bending the lower legs against resistance.

What Are the Benefits of Owning Used Plate-Loaded Machines?

Whether you're setting up a home gym or improving your business's fitness offerings, used plate-loaded gym equipment offers many benefits: 

• Customizable resistance: Unlike fixed-weight equipment, plate-loaded machines allow users to adjust the resistance levels by adding or removing plates. Ideal for users of different strength levels, both beginners and advanced lifters can use these machines and easily customize the workout to suit their fitness abilities.  
• Controlled movement: Plate-loaded equipment has ergonomic designs and adjustable settings, promoting proper body alignment and movement during exercise. This helps reduce the risk of injury, even while lifting heavy weights. 
• Progressive overload: Users can gradually lift heavier weights over time, which is key for building muscles and getting stronger. By adjusting the weight to keep workouts challenging, they can keep growing their muscles without hitting a plateau. 
• Targeted workouts: From leg and shoulder presses to calf raises and squats, these machines let users engage in various exercises that target different muscles. As ISO lateral units allow for independent limb training, you can address any strength imbalances by loading different weights on each side of the machine.
• Optimized space: Compared to traditional free weights, plate-loaded equipment requires less floor space and offers a more compact alternative for strength training. 
• Affordable prices: Buying used equipment is typically more affordable than purchasing brand-new machines. This means you can stretch your budget further and acquire higher-quality equipment for your business or home. Many plate-loaded machines retain their functionality and durability, offering excellent value for money.

How to Choose the Right Used Plate-Loaded Machines

To choose the right plate-loaded machines for your gym, keep these factors in mind:

• Available space: Measure your floorspace to ensure your equipment will fit, and remember to leave some extra room for stretching and movement.
• Fitness goals: Consider which muscle groups you want to train to help you determine which machines would be the best investment. 
• Equipment users: Think about the experience and physical abilities of those using the machines. While plate-loaded equipment suits all strength levels, some units have a more complex setup or require some understanding of proper form. 
• Machine features: Research which features can enhance the workout experience. For example, some machines have integrated weight plate storage to keep a tidy space. Those with an ISO lateral design allow each limb to work separately, promoting balanced strength development.
