Multi Gyms Buying Guide

If you can't decide on which piece of fitness equipment's right for you, then why not consider a multi gym that gives you a number of options all in one. It will improve strength and build muscles using standard features such as chest presses, leg extensions and lateral pull down.

Multi gyms have grown extremely popular in the last few years, and really are the “must haves” for resistance training at home! Benefits such as safety, convenience and tidyness give multi gyms an advantage over other fitness products. Join the thousands of people using a multi gym to tone up and improve their fitness!

Before you buy

Some things to consider when shopping for a multigym

• Weight Weight-stack machines consist of blocks or disks of weights attached to a lever or pulley system. Changing the amount you lift is easy. Just move a pin in the weight stack or add another plate in plate-loading models. Check the resistance is right for you - its settings should include weights light enough for the weakest user as well as heavier ones that will challenge the strongest lifter. Most multi gyms work by utilising a weight stack and pulley system, creating resistance. You simply put a ‘pin’ into the weight stack based on what you want to lift, similar to many machines in a gym. You need to check the resistance is right for you, taking into consideration long-term improvements. As a recommended guide, a weight stack of between 5kg (10lbs) and 90kg (200lbs) is the minimum that most users will require. This will allow you to tone up and give you the flexibility to add strength too.
• Does it do what you want it to? Check that your multi-gym offers the variety of exercises you want. There should be at least 12 different options. The whole purpose of multi gyms is to perform many exercises on one machine. You should have a good idea of what areas of your body you want to work out, such as the chest, back, legs and arms. Most multi gyms meet this need of variety. However, they can vary in the number of exercises that can be performed on them. A good multi gym will have at least 11 different exercises. Generally, the more expensive the model, the more exercises that can be performed
• Will Multi Gym fit? Check to see if the dimensions of the multi gym fit where you want it to go.
• Multi Gym Price This is possibly one of the most important factors when deciding to buy a multi gym. As a rule of thumb, the more you pay the better you will get. The way around this rule is to find expensive models at discounted prices, Argos Sports offer discounted prices on majority of multigyms which are on sale, it is not because the productds are second rated but the secret is in bulk buying and keeping the overhead down. However you should try to avoid cheap models that are not discounted, especially if it is a brand you do not recognise. Getting good quality that will last and you will actually use will represent better value for money than one that will break down in one year.
• Warranty on Multi Gyms Multi gyms are large complex machines, and for extra peace of mind you might look for a multi gym with better warranty. All multi gyms should have some sort of warranty.
• Multi Gym Brand As with many products a brand can be important in reassuring you of what you will get, and it is no different with multi gyms. There are lots known and some bit unkown brand of multi gyms are available in market but we at Argos Sports only deal with the best, reliable and leader of the industry brands

Argos Sports offer a Massive Range of Fitness Exercise & Sports Equipment

are without a doubt one of the most popular items of home and commercial gym equipment, powered or motorised treadmills use a motor to move the belt, keeping the rate at which you walk constant. Many motorised treadmills have powered incline adjustments. One of the main advantages of a motorised treadmill is that it's more challenging - it can go faster than you can, so you have to work harder to keep up. Argos Sports offer folding treadmills - for those looking to save space and who may be on a budget. Non-folding treadmills - for those who have enough space for a treadmill, and commercial treadmills - for those who want a high quality treadmill with advanced features, similar to the standard you get in gyms throughout the world

Rowers are in a class of their own for a really intensive upper and lower body exercise workout. Serious training can be done with any piece of quality cardiovascular equipment, but rowing machines really lend themselves to the dedicated fitness enthusiast, particularly those who enjoy rowing!

Rowers have 3 main forms of resistance. Air rowers like the Horizon Oxford II CS Rowing Machine give an excellent smooth action and full length stroke. They come closest to simulating the action of rowing on water, together with WaterRowers, where water provides both the feel and sound of 'the real thing.' Magnetic rowing machines give a smooth and variable resistance and are generally shorter which may be a factor where space is limited, and you do not have much room for exercise machines.

Cross trainers also known as elliptical trainers offer the same benefits as a treadmill but are low impact machines, i.e. your feet remain stationary. These cross training machines have adjustable resistance, sophisticated digital displays and are quiet in operation. At Argos Sports we offer compact elliptical trainers for those of you short of space and on a budget, standard elliptical trainers for those of you who have the space available. We also offer commercial elliptical trainers for those who want a high quality elliptical cross trainer similar to the ones you use at a gym

Exercise bikes (sometimes referred to as exercise cycles or Exercise Bike) are good for the large muscle groups in the legs. These bikes are manual and have variable resistance. Some exercise bikes will also work the torso and upper body. A recumbent exercise bike puts less pressure and stress on the back. At Argos Sports we offer upright exercise bikes which give you the feel of a pedal bike, recumbent exercise bikes where you sit back and pedal putting less strain on your back (good for those who have the room and beginners). Finally we offer spinners and racers designed for those serious about there biking.
