New to Ches Penney Family YMCA: New Conditioning Equipment

Glute training is more popular than ever, and the Ches Penney Family YMCA is offering a better way to tone muscles and build power while improving hip and core stability. The Matrix Magnum Glut Trainer has refined ergonomic details that accommodate users of all sizes and ability levels comfortably, while high maximum resistance and elastic band hooks provide options to challenge even elite athletes.

Featuring an independent converging movement that encourages a natural path of motion, the Magnum Shoulder Press maximizes strength in the shoulders and arms. A slightly reclined position reduces lower back strain, dual grip pressing positions offer greater training variety, and the ratcheting seat easily adjusts to fit different body types. Four storage horns provide ample room for plates.

The Magnum Seated Row is designed to maximize strength in the muscles of the back and shoulders. Diverging independent arms provide a natural path of motion, while dual grip positions offer greater training variety. Two different foot positions and an easily adjustable ratcheting seat accommodate a wide variety of user heights. Weight storage horn provides ample room for plates.

Ideal for glute and hamstring exercises, the Magnum Glute / Ham bench features band hooks and handles for performing reverse hyperextensions. The leg pads feature easy gas-assisted vertical adjustment, and the oversized footplate can be adjusted while the user is in position. A step-through design allows for easy entry and exit, and the frame features a proprietary two-coat powder finish for long-lasting durability.

One of the key factors that sets the Ohio Power Bar apart from other powerlifting barbells in the industry is its friction welded sleeves. A technique borrowed from the worlds of aviation and automotive manufacturing, the friction welding process creates a precision, forged-quality bond, resulting in superior strength and fatigue resistance, as well as a finer grain structure on the welded joint. The 20KG Rogue Ohio Power Bar includes bronze bushings, a snap ring design, and a Black Zinc shaft with Bright Zinc sleeve finish.

The YORK Hercules® Kettlebells will appeal to experts and beginners alike. The product sports a rugged matte black finish and has a uniquely positioned handle for a smooth, ergonomic motion. These kettlebells are perfect for a variety of Crossfit movements including the Russian Swing, One-Armed Clean, and the Two-Armed Push Press, as well as acting as a weight aid for squats and lunges.

The patent-pending Back Widow, by Flex Wheeler, is the gym version of a Swiss Army Knife, potentially replacing more than a dozen separate handle attachments and accessories with a single, all-in-one alternative. Users can quickly adjust the Back Widow into more than 15 different grip positions without having to remove the attachment, making it uniquely equipped for high traffic gyms or more time-efficient individual workouts.

As the name suggests, the Back Widow is designed, first and foremost, as a back blaster, with easy set-ups for high/mid/low range cable pulls and T-bar rows. The same device works equally well as a cable attachment for biceps and triceps work; as a pull-up bar attachment for neutral grip pull-ups; or as a dumbbell attachment for dumbbell rows. Many users even adopt the Back Widow as their primary bar-jack: the moving parts are all at a 16,000 LB sheer test, so no weight load threatens the Widow’s overall structural integrity.
