My gym has a lot of free weight and functional equipment, as well as single station strength machines. What strength equipment should I use?

Most gyms provide a variety of strength training options to accommodate a wide range of member experience levels and training objectives. The wide range allows you to select equipment that matches your level of familiarity with fitness equipment and what you’re looking to achieve. Single station strength machines provide a supported environment to develop muscular endurance and strength. These pin select machines put exercisers in ergonomically correct positions and guide them through a controlled path of motion that targets a specific muscle or group of muscles. Additionally, exercisers can easily select the appropriate load from a weight stack and follow instructional placards to perform natural movements. The simplicity of these products and their ability to isolate specific muscle groups makes them appropriate for those new to strength training, as well as more seasoned exercisers looking for focused strength gains. It cannot be understated that these products help lay the foundation of joint integrity and neuromuscular function that allows exercisers to then transition to more dynamic and functional forms of strength training.
