PIN Loaded Circuit for GYM, Which one?

[gymisit]

Hi everyone,

I am looking at a PIN loaded circuit for a commercial gym.

So far I have come across these:

progymsupply.com/hammer-strength-mts-selectorized-circuit :Hammer Strength MTS circuit, looks clean


fitnessequipmentempire.com/product/life-fitness-pro-2-13-unit-full-body-strength-circuit-immaculate : LF Pro 2 circuit


fitnessequipmentempire.com/product/hoist-roc-11-unit-platinum-strength-total-body-circuit : Hoist R0c-It Circuit

fitnessequipmentempire.com/product/precor-icarian-17-unit-strength-circuit : Precor Icarian

fitnessequipmentempire.com/product/cybex-eagle-13-unit-total-body-platinum-circuit : Cybex Eagle

fitnessequipmentempire.com/product/life-fitness-signature-series-8-unit-platinum-strength-circuit : LF Platinum?


fitnessequipmentempire.com/product/nautilus-nitro-9-unit-circuit-clean : Nautilus Nitro


Can I get your thoughts? Likes, dislikes on sections?

Other options?

What is the difference in the Life Fitness variants ie: Signature, Pro, Pro 2 etc.

Thanks again.

Look here as well. They also have a California site

I only know that the Cybex eagle has shorter equipment, at least for their crossover.

Of the brands mentioned above I've used the LifeFitness Signature series, I think it's L/f's top of the range line, it's straightforward, simple to use, Imo , the bio mechanics aren't great on the press/pull machines, very basic movement.

The Hammer NTS line. Imo this would be a better option, Pretty much mimics the Hammer plate load machines, unilateral arm/levers, converging and diverging movement, but of course with the convenience of a stack. My buddy has the NTS incline press, very similar feel to the H/S plate load version.

Cybex Eagle series, again I'd pick this over the L/F gear, like the Hammer NTS line, many of the units allow for unilateral movements, diverging and converging paths. The Eagle pieces I've used have been very smooth and as you'd expect bio mechanically they're on a different level to the fixed path offered by the L/F Signature series.

I'm a Hammer Strength fan, particularly many of the plate load machines, but for a lime of stack/pin machines, I'd be taking a serious look at the Cybex Eagle line.

Thanks Richard.

I have been using an old (10years+) STRIVE PIN Loaded circuit this week, for back, arms and legs and I have not been this sore for a few months. All while doing half the work and weight as I would normally. I have only been using position 1, 2 and 3 on the cam gears as well.

IMO you cant beat the Strive (Prime) stuff if you want to work the muscle like nothing else before.
of those listed the Cybex and Icarian has the best biomechanics though.
But once I got my strive line, I sold all my cybex and Icarian pieces I had.

Has the Strive line been updated throughout the years?

As i feel some aspects could be improved. The equipment i used would be at least 10-15 years old as it was secondhand when the gym got it.

Thanks.

Prime kept the original designs as the legacy line but have updated versions with the hybrid and evolution
