 Gym Equipment 


Free Weights Free weights are basically dumbbells and barbells. They are weights which are not attached to any machines, but free.

Machines Every Gym is full of machines now a days, for every muscle group it seems. Some notable ones are Leg Press, Lat Pull down and pulleys. Our Exercise Descriptions deal with all of the exercises and the machines they may use in detail.

Dumbells These are single hand weights that range from 5 to over 200 pounds each.

Barbells Is generally a long iron bar with weights at each end. These weights can be welded on, or can be removed and added to reach desired weight. There is a variation of the barbell, which is the EZ-curl bar. This bar has a few angles in it. This will take less pressure from your wrists and let you target your muscle more directly.

Flat Bench A simple bench which is horizontal.

Inclined Bench A simple bench which is at an inclined angle.

Declined Bench A simple bench which is at a declined angle.

Preacher Curls Bench This piece of equipment is for lower biceps.

Parallel Bar Dips Basically, two parallel bars which you lower and raise yourself on isolating the chest and triceps muscles.
