Up until quite recently, rigs often looked very similar to one another. But as people have started using rigs in greater numbers, a greater variety has become available. So what should trainers look for in an effective rig?
Mass-produced and basic, rigs of the past often failed to capture members’ attention and interest. As a result, they could often be overlooked, despite occupying a massive piece of real estate on the gym floor.
However, a functional rig is one of the most adaptable pieces of equipment in a gym, and these days, people are getting much more creative.
One supplier that is paving the way is EXF, a bespoke equipment manufacturer. Their rigs are not only high performing, they are also creative and aesthetically pleasing.
I decided to meet with EXF’s Matt Leadbitter to find out more.
