PRODUCT INNOVATION
Innovative product design and conception from our studios to your facility.
Equipment for exercisers looking to bridge the gap between selectorised equipment and free weights. Plate loaded gym equipment requires simple mechanics to create a smooth and reliable defined path of motion for effective strength training.
Add true lifting power to your gym floor with commercial plate loaded gym equipment. These machines let members load Olympic plates directly onto weight horns, giving them complete control over resistance without relying on cables or weight stacks. Built for strength rooms, performance centres and commercial gyms, plate loaded gym machines offer the feel of free weights with the added structure of guided movement.
Designed to replicate how the body naturally moves, Life Fitness and Hammer Strength plate-loaded gym equipment supports users of all abilities, from those just beginning their strength training journey to seasoned vets.
Life Fitness and Hammer Strength Plate Loaded machines are built to withstand even the toughest and intense workouts. Tested to exceed industry standards, you can feel confident that your equipment is the most durable on the market.
Plate loaded gym equipment is a staple in strength-focused facilities. These machines combine the raw feel of free weights with the guided control of a machine — perfect for building strength with precision and consistency. Users load Olympic plates directly onto the equipment, giving them the freedom to train at their own pace and intensity.
When it comes to these types of equipment, Hammer Strength sets the global standard in this category. With over 40 machines in the lineup, it covers everything from Iso-lateral rows and presses to squat variations and deadlift-focused movements. Every piece supports independent arm or leg training, smooth rep transitions and consistent resistance — even under heavy, repeated use. Hammer Strength equipment is trusted in elite training environments for its toughness and performance under pressure.
The Life Fitness plate loaded gym equipment collection features 12 machines fit for high-use strength areas. These include essentials like leg extensions, decline chest presses and calf raises. Each unit is constructed with welded steel, Olympic weight horns and reinforced contact points to protect the frame and surrounding space. Adjustment is simple, movement is smooth and maintenance stays minimal.
Create a strength zone that progresses with your members. Life Fitness offers premium commercial plate loaded gym equipment for performance spaces of all sizes. Explore our range online or speak with a Life Fitness consultant to learn which products are right for your facility.
Minimal maintenance is required. Wipe down frames and pads regularly, check bolts for tightness and inspect pivot points or bearings for smooth movement.
Yes, if you have the space. Plate loaded gym machines are larger and heavier than selectorised units or compact trainers, so they’re best suited for dedicated gym rooms or garages with reinforced flooring. Many home gym owners choose plate loaded options for their durability, heavier capacity and commercial-grade feel — you just need enough room to use and move around the machine safely.
To complete your home or commercial gym, Life Fitness offers a full range of strength training equipment that pairs well with plate loaded machines. You can shop benches, racks, selectorised machines, cable machines and free weights from trusted series like Insignia, Axiom and Hammer Strength.
Explore compact options for home gyms or mix and match commercial-grade equipment to build a full training floor. Contact the Life Fitness team if you’d like help choosing the right combination of gear for your space.
