Optimus are proud to boast one of the most equipped Gym facilities in the area, with a full range of weight training machines and stations. These can be split into three sections: –

Free weights: – Optimus is equipped with a full range of free weights, with dumbbells up to 50kgs, squat racks, an Olympic chest press bench, and two deadlift platforms. The gym is also stocked with several kettlebells and a smaller set of dumbbells.

Plate-loaded machines: – Optimus is proud to stock a number of different plate-loaded machines, allowing you to train all parts of your body. We were keen to offer these machines to our members as they allow you to lift weight in a controlled and stable way, which in turn will decrease the risk of injury. For example, using the plate-loaded chest press creates a stable position, and the machine only moves a certain way, whereas if you are using dumbbells, you will need to focus on balancing them at the same time.

Pin resistance machines – As well as a full range of plate load machines, Optimus also offers a full range of pin resistance equipment; these are more traditional range equipment that many members are comfortable with as they are what you would normally expect to see in a gym environment. However, you will be able to complete a whole workout with this equipment, and many members use both the pin and plate-loaded machines as part of their workout. Our cable machines are very popular. Optimus has two dual cable machines and a cable crossover.
