The group fitness regulars are some of your most loyal and long-term members. Think about it. They come early or stay late. They show up two or three, sometimes five days a week to get in all their favorite formats. Rain or shine, sleet or snow, if the gym is open, they’re gonna go! Show them some love by adding specialized equipment just for GX.
What specialized equipment? Glad you asked! Did you know that Power Systems has several products that are designed with Group Fitness in mind? It’s true! These products were designed with a two-fold purpose; to provide specific benefits for group fitness enthusiasts while accommodating the physical differences between the studio and the gym floor.
Let’s take a look at a few of our Kettlebells for example:
- Attractive, less intimidating alternative for beginners to exercise and/or to kettlebell training
- Uniformly sized for consistent technique development

Power Systems has developed brand partnerships within the fitness industry that also provide unique adaptations to traditional products to benefit the group exercise class setting. For example, BOSU created the Pro Balance Trainer from commercial grade materials for durability in high traffic use. The BOSU Pro Balance Trainer features a non-marking, non-skid base that is gentle on floors.
The STEP Company has been providing group exercise classes with The Original Health Club step since 1989. Step, boot camp, cardio, and strength training instructors can all benefit from the versatility of the FreeStyle Step. The name comes from its freestyle risers that allow for three positions: flat, horizontal, and vertical slant. Both steps feature a non-slip surface on both the surface of the bench as well as the bottom of the bench and risers.
Finally, maximize the space in your group fitness room with the appropriate storage. Our storage racks are among our top selling categories as we provide a storage solution for everything from mats and foam rollers to kettlebells and resistance bands.
