Equipment for functional training
Functional training centres on movements such as pushing, pulling, lifting, jumping and carrying, often involving several muscle groups together. Equipment such as sleds, plyo boxes, suspension trainers and strongman tools lets you combine strength, stability and conditioning exercises.
Explore functional training equipment for gyms, personal-training studios and home gyms. From training rigs and plyo boxes to farmer’s walk handles, battle ropes and suspension trainers, choose equipment suited to your goals, experience and available space.
What is functional training?
Functional training uses exercises related to movements in sport and daily life. The focus depends on your goal: carrying weights, pushing a sled or controlling a bodyweight movement each makes different demands. You can work on strength, coordination, stability and mobility through suitable exercise choices and progression. Functional exercises can complement other forms of strength training.
Versatile training equipment
Plyo boxes can be used for jumps and step-ups, while sleds and farmer’s walk equipment offer options for loaded pushing, pulling and carrying. Suspension trainers and gymnastic rings provide bodyweight exercise options, and battle ropes add dynamic conditioning work. Check the intended exercises, load limits and surface or anchoring requirements of each product.
Training rigs and modular systems
A training rig can form the centre of a functional training area. Depending on the system, it can support pull-up bars, monkey bars, wall-ball targets and other compatible attachments. The number of people who can train at once depends on its layout, load ratings and clearance between stations. Check installation requirements and accessory compatibility when planning or expanding a rig.
For gyms and home training spaces
Choose equipment according to your programme and the room available for the full exercise movement. Sled work and loaded carries need a suitable route, while suspension trainers and rings require approved anchor points. For shared or professional use, check that the equipment is rated for the expected workload. A selection of complementary tools lets you build varied sessions for the whole body.
