Choosing the proper equipment is an integral part of working out.

A simple switch in choosing sustainable gym equipment over regular products is already a step in the right direction.

1. HAMMER STRENGTH

When using workout equipment, you either get to choose between machine or free weight training. When using Hammer Strength, you get the benefits of both. Its machines are non-motorized and don’t use electricity consumption. This means that you solely rely on your personal strength to get the machine started, while it works with other elements such as wind and gravity to get your heart rate up. Another interesting thing about Hammer Strength equipment is that it uses steel in the manufacturing of its machines. This is not only good for the environment but also provides durability to your equipment, ensuring it lasts for years to come. As Hammer Strength belongs to the Life Fitness family of brands, we know it’s a brand to trust.
