Gym Equipment

Commercial gym equipment is designed and manufactured to be able to withstand an enormous amount of abuse. They are meant to be used, under very heavy circumstances, for many, many years. This commercial equipment is more expensive than equipment designed for home use.

Free weights are the most basic pieces of gym equipment. While very simple in design, they are considered the most effective way to increase muscle mass. And because they require you to balance the weight while you’re lifting, they incorporate muscles that weight machines do not.

Steppers are pieces of gym equipment that mimic the motion of climbing stairs. These machines are designed to strengthen and tone your leg muscles. Most commercial gyms will have several of these devices.
