For a long time, various companies in the world of fitness have tried replacing the use of weight plates on the weight machines in order to get less heavy and bulky machines. To achieve this, various approaches have been used, such as the use of hydraulic systems, compressed air, water resistance, elastic resistance, and even the use of electric motors. However, none of these solutions has gotten equated as the work of a machine with weights. Until now.

The main problem of hydraulic machines is that exercise is not performed eccentric contractions (Those that are made during the elongation of the muscle), these contractions are very important in strength training because they increase the mass gain and muscle volume as well as being beneficial to reduce the risk of joint injuries. In a GTS machine itself is done ​​eccentric contractions and therefore provide an exercise in better quality than that of a hydraulic machine. Providing a return equal to a machine with weights.

The R & D EQUIDESA has found the solution to these problems by developing a patented system that uses the user's own weight as resistance during exercise, so that the machine performs a smooth vertical motion for each repetition.

This movement in turn causes the user does not relax the muscles during the return of the exercise, which results in a distribution more uniform than that achieved even on machines with weights.

Other features that make unique the mechanism patented by EQUIDESA is the ability to regulate the resistance of the machine easily and efficiently. Traditionally used weighing machines for selected pins to lift the weight. The resistance range is regulated GTS turning a crank, the right of it is a red flag indicating the selected hardness level.

SGT machines are able to offer the quality of a machine with weights but with a smaller size and weight. On average, the weight of a machine GTS is 60% lower than a traditional machine. And the footprint is reduced by 25% - 40%. They are also easily transportable using the use of a lever that comes as an accessory.

The EQUIDESA GTS range was presented as a world premiere at FIBO 2011, garnering rave reviews. We invite you to approach our facilities and test yourself operation.
