New Innovations & Performance Machines
Nautilus Glute Drive (Hip Thrust Machine)
No awkward barbell setups—just pure glute activation. This hip thrust machine provides a safe, controlled way to build posterior-chain strength, making it one of the most popular new additions to our floor. “It gives you that old-school vibe with the modernity of awesome equipment.” – Tyreese S
Aktiv 3D Smith Machine
A whole new take on the Smith machine. Unlike traditional versions, this one allows lateral movement for a natural free-weight feel. Plus, you can lock the bar out at any point, adding safety without sacrificing performance. “They have an incredible free-motion smith machine and a dumbbell selection that’s all-encompassing.” – Tyreese S
Forza Competition Super Bench
The premier bench press of champions. Built with heavy-duty construction, competition spotter stands, fully adjustable catches, and the famous Forza gripper pad—this is why some of the strongest lifters on earth choose Forza. “The staff and community are top-notch… they treat you like part of the family.” – Austin B
Monolift
The ultimate squat innovation. Instead of walking a heavy barbell out, the monolift lets you unrack and start lifting immediately. It’s safer, reduces fatigue, and keeps focus on the lift itself. Powerlifters consider this one of the most valuable rare gym equipment pieces around. “This gym has Brandon Cass, a world champion powerlifter! That speaks volumes.” – Karl O
Nautilus Bicep Curl
Upgrade your arm training with one of the best bicep curl machines on the market. The bilateral design lets you train each arm independently or together, while elevated pads isolate the biceps for strict, cheat-free curls. Ideal for building size, strength, and perfect form — a must-have for any gym or home workout space.
Rogers Power Squat Pro
The ultimate squat machine for perfect form and maximum safety. The patented floating yoke adapts to all body types, letting athletes find their ideal stance without risking balance. It delivers all the muscle activation of free-weight squats while reducing stress on the knees, lower back, and joints — making it ideal for those with injuries or mobility limitations.
Nautilus Nitro Lat Pulldown
One of the most effective lat pulldown machines available, designed to truly target the lats — not just the upper back. Its rotating handles let you adjust your grip for a stronger contraction and a full, natural range of motion. The movement path delivers an incredible stretch at the top and maximizes lat engagement from start to finish.
Legend Fitness LeverEDGE Converging Flat Chest Press
Train safely and effectively with this premium bench press alternative. The unilateral converging motion builds balanced strength while reducing injury risk. Features include eight Olympic plate storage pegs, a 16 lb starting weight per arm, and extra-long loading pegs that hold up to nine plates per side — perfect for both beginners and heavy lifters. Adjustable starting positions, tournament-compatible bench height, and multi-grip handles make it versatile for every athlete.
Nautilus Nitro Vertical Chest Press
One of the best chest press machines available, with perfectly engineered biomechanics for a smooth, natural motion. The slightly converging handles deliver unmatched chest activation and an incredible contraction, making this a must-have for serious strength training.
True Fitness Tricep Dip Machine
This machine features unilateral press arms and both standard and neutral grip handles for multiple exercise variations. The true weight feel provides smooth resistance that quickly gets challenging as plates are added — making it one of the best plate-loaded tricep dip machines for serious strength training.
💪 Unique and Rare Equipment Finds
Paramount Pendulum Squat
Known as “The Humbler”, this is the original pendulum squat—the one all others tried to copy. Its design places you at a mechanical disadvantage that absolutely torches your quads. Many strong lifters have been buried by this beast, and that’s exactly why it works. “The community they’ve cultivated is very positive and fun to work out in, no matter your goals or fitness level.” – Landen B
2nd Generation Nautilus Pullover
This is the Holy Grail of back machines. Six-time Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates credited it for building his iconic back. It’s the only exercise that isolates the lats without pulling in the biceps—an extremely rare find and centerpiece of our collection. “Some of it is reminiscent of Golden Era bodybuilding days.” – Khalil S
Flex Fitness Hack Squat
Often called the “holy grail” of hack squats, this legendary machine has an angle and footplate design that no one’s duplicated since. Built in the golden era of Flex Fitness, it delivers brutal leg sessions that lifters still rave about. “Large facility with every piece of equipment needed to reach your goals.” – Brad S

A true classic from one of the most respected equipment companies in history. This heavy-sled design has a split footplate, letting you target different parts of the thighs. It’s highly sought after and a must-try for serious leg training. “Absolutely absurd amount of equipment and a very nice, diverse group of gym goers.” – Daniel T
OEI Lying Leg Press
From an obscure company with one unforgettable design. It’s like performing the perfect squat lying flat. Extended guide rods even allow safe jump squats. Extremely rare and one of the most unique machines you’ll find in any gym. “I’ve been to many gyms, but this one is by far the best… people of all ages train here and the staff is always friendly.” – Doug B
Body Masters Preacher Curl
Known as “The Humbler”, this is the original pendulum squat—the one all others tried to copy. Its design places you at a mechanical disadvantage that absolutely torches your quads.

Universal Shoulder Press
This versatile shoulder press lets you train from the front or behind the neck, hitting the delts with precision. It’s a rare gem from Universal’s legendary line, engineered with a strength curve that increases through the full movement. “Everyone is friendly, caring and very helpful—it’s like my second home.” – Sammie J
1st Generation Nautilus Ab Crunch (Clamshell)
Unlike modern crunch machines, this one moves both your upper and lower body at the same time—creating a unique “clamshell” effect. It absolutely fries the abs and is one of the most sought-after ab machines ever made. “I truly enjoy going in every week and getting a workout in here. The variety of equipment at this gym is amazing.” – Jamease R
Icarian Standing Leg Curl
This rare and highly sought-after machine is designed for superior hamstring training. The slight forward angle enhances isolation while protecting the lower back. Training in a standing position allows better pelvic stability by engaging the opposite glute, and the vertical design ensures constant gravity resistance for maximum hamstring peak contraction — like concentration curls for the back of your legs.
Flex Fitness Bicep Curl
A true classic, this machine features swivel handles for custom wrist positioning, ensuring perfect extension and contraction. The elevated, flat elbow pad isolates the biceps and eliminates assistance from other muscle groups. With a massive 220 lb weight stack, it’s built for even the strongest lifters. A rare, uniquely designed piece from Flex Fitness — one of the best bicep curls ever made.
Flex Fitness Leg Extension
A rare, center-driven design that evenly balances resistance between both legs — unlike traditional single-sided machines. The angled seat allows a deeper range of motion, letting the feet travel underneath for full extension while reducing knee stress. A true classic from Flex Fitness, makers of some of the best strength equipment ever built.
Pacific Fitness (Stairmaster) Incline Press
A rare piece from the Arcuate line, designed to mimic free-weight motion with its smooth arc movement. The converging handles deliver an intense upper-chest contraction when the seat is properly set. With a 250 lb weight stack, it’s perfect for even the strongest lifters.
Universal Flat Bench
A rare, classic piece from one of the pioneers of selectorized equipment. Its progressive strength curve gets harder as you press, delivering a powerful chest contraction. The adjustable handles allow wide or narrow grip options, making it perfect as a heavy bench alternative or as a chest-day finisher for maximum pump.
Icarian Hack Squat
A rare and highly sought-after classic, this 35° hack squat is one of the most popular ever made. Its design feels closer to a traditional back squat, offering a natural movement pattern with less knee stress than most hack squats. The sled is deceptively heavy, delivering a serious challenge even before adding plates — perfect for building strong, powerful legs.
Flex Fitness Leg Press
Widely considered one of the best leg presses ever made, this machine is smooth, powerful, and easy on the knees compared to other brands. Its design emphasizes quad activation while reducing hip and hamstring strain. The large weight horns hold plenty of plates, making it perfect for progressive overload and heavy lifting.
Flex Fitness Shoulder Press
A rare and highly sought-after machine, this piece isolates the medial delts better than almost any other shoulder press. Its challenging strength curve makes the lockout harder, delivering a brutal shoulder workout. With a 330 lb weight stack, it has plenty of resistance for even the strongest lifters.
