Power Sleds

Power Sleds

Power sleds are fitness equipment designed to improve muscular strength. They consist of a sled that can be pushed or pulled to perform different types of muscle-building exercises, such as pushing, pulling or resistance.

Sledding involves functional movements, i.e. the natural movements we make in our daily lives. These movements are essential for maintaining good physical health and improving our quality of life.

These machines are used in gyms to help athletes improve their strength, speed and endurance. They are also used in rehabilitation programs to help patients regain strength and mobility after injury.

Power trainers are often equipped with an adjustable resistance system, allowing users toadjust the load to suit their fitnessgoals. By adding extra weights, you can increase the workload for a more intense workout.
