Functional Trainers

Functional Trainers
The Swiss Army Knife of home gym equipment, a Functional Trainer is the ultimate apparatus for getting a convenient and comprehensive full-body workout. Often referred to as cable crossover gyms, or cable pulley machines, Functional Trainers allow you to perform an infinite variety of exercises, regardless of your fitness level. If you can imagine it, you can do it with a Functional Trainer. At MAXUM Fitness, we offer high-quality functional trainers that provide the versatility and functionality you need to improve strength, stability, and overall fitness.

Versatile Full-Body Training
The main benefit of a functional trainer is its ability to target all major muscle groups with a wide variety of movements. Whether you’re performing presses, pulls, squats, or rotational movements, functional trainers allow you to train your body in a way that enhances both strength and mobility. This versatility makes them suitable for beginners looking to build a solid foundation or for advanced users looking to challenge their muscles in new ways.

Customizable Resistance for Every Level
Functional trainers are equipped with adjustable weight stacks or resistance settings, allowing you to tailor the resistance to your fitness level. Whether you’re looking to perform low-weight, high-repetition exercises for endurance or heavy lifts for building strength, a functional trainer gives you the flexibility to adapt your workout. This makes them perfect for users of all levels, from those just starting out to seasoned athletes looking to push their limits.

Key Additions for a Complete Workout

Few machines match the versatility of a cable-based Functional Trainer, and they are beneficial whether you are training for power, hypertrophy, or endurance. Incorporating the function of a Lat Machine, Squat/Power Rack, and so much more, we are confident that once you try a MAXUM Functional Trainer, you’ll agree with us that they are simply the best in Canada.
