Note the 2 new optional accessory stations in use

  • Chinning Bar – can be height set for even the tallest players in the squad without having to bend their knees whilst chinning.
    Height adjustments are in 70mm / 3'' increments on the 3 Metre high Uprights
  • Taper shaped Dips Bar – improves biomechanics - fits every player without any upper arm gap to the torso. Parallel Dips Bars do not cater for players of different torso widths.

Also in use simultaneously

  • Internal Work Area with safety bars & Barbell hooks
  • External Work Area with safety bars & Barbell hooks
  • All the above applications have 30 x fast snap lock fully adjustable height locking positions in 70mm increments along the 3M High columns.

Major ‘Multi Station FT700' advantages based on professional feedback

  • Total footprint area is 2.98 L x 1.25 W = 3.73 Square Metres
  • Total required floor space work area is a maximum of 3.58 L x 4.24 W = 15.18 Square Metres (3.8 Sq M / player on this set up)
  • Significantly improves the training time efficiency within the gym for all players – it cuts down waiting time with squads. Hence time on the floor /session is reduced
  • Significantly saves on gym floor space area

The FT700 History

  • The FT700 was initially designed to enable the Magnetic Braking Unit (MBU) and the Ballistic Measurement System (BMS) to sit on it; to achieve set concentric exercise loads with set eccentric braking loads with the results auto recorded via the BMS onto an Excel Spreadsheet
  • The FT700 further evolved from listening to the functions the professional Strength & Conditioning Coaches would like from a Power Cage.
  • Recently the Fitness Technology 400 Series Performance Force Plate has been added to the System to record the Force being produced through feet of the athlete; this data is also auto recorded
  • The ongoing feedback is producing a Power Cage to meet the present and future specific demands of the professional Strength & Conditioning Coaches

The FT700 accessories

  • The adjustable Height, Chinning Bar, Dips Bar was the result of this feedback
  • Like the Internal & External Work Areas, the Chinning Bar & Dips Bar on the 3 M High work area uprights also have 30 x adjustable height positions in increments of 70mm (3'')
  • The FT700 meets the working requirements of all athlete heights
  • The FT700 is a dynamic Power Cage: Coaches purchasing it can look forward to more attachments becoming available, as the feedback results in producing more exercise features
