Spirit i-Strength Leg Press

Innovative and technology-led, the Spirit i-Strength Leg Press and Calf Raise is part of the new i-Strength range with 9 pieces that can cover all your training needs - including the superb i-Strength Functional Trainer. All the machines use an adaptive mechanical resistance which gives you a very precise resistance as well the unique option for any one of the 4 dynamic training modes : 

• Pure : Standard resistance training
• Eccentric : The lowering phase of your lift
• Isokinetic : A constant speed of movement
• Elastic : Simulating band-based resistance

Pure resistance for hypertrophy helps you build muscle safely while tracking progress. Using the eccentric, or lowering phase, builds real strength through negative drop sets. Isokinetic resistance supports rehab and, with built-in safety features, promotes slow, steady muscle growth. Finally, elastic tension delivers explosive workouts that help to target your twitch muscles. All of this without any metal plates.

Why Else Choose i-Strength?

This iStrength Leg Press machine makes quite the statement, whatever the type of gym it's in. With its luxury styling and curved frame, the technology and functionality is second to none and gives you huge control over your workout. Use the machine with or without the app, to access one of the 4 training modes from the HD touchscreen. All resistance for the Spirit i-Strength leg press comes from the Servo Motor-based system makes the exercise travel smooth, whichever mode and whether you choose 40kg or 140kg resistance.

Its Smart Technology gives you access to the dynamic training modes and monitors you throughout the repititions and workout. The dynamically linked LED coloured lighting also changes as your load increases - which is cool.  All the data can be captured including repetitions, resistance and performance and the analytics can be found on your Spirit Connect App (if you have connected up) to give you insights into your rehab or performance. 

Most of the i-Strength range are dual pieces, but every major muscle group is covered. This leg press also covers your calf muscles and it targets those leg muscles (see below). There are a surprising number of variations possible thanks to the adjustable foot plate and lower angle for your calf muscle exercises. The sitting position is also very comfortable. This is a heavy-duty commercial strength range and should be the centrepiece of your hotel, corporate gym or luxury boutique gym.

Which Muscles

There are both primary and secondary muscles worked by the leg press machine.

Primary Muscles:

• Quadriceps (Quads)
• Gluteus Maximus (Glutes)

Secondary Muscles :

• Hamstrings
• Calves
• Adductors/Abductors

Also, by changing foot position you can target the muscles slightly differently :

• High foot position - more emphasis on the glutes and hamstrings.
• Low foot position - target quadriceps more
• Wide stance - targets inner thighs (adductors) more
• Narrow stance - targets outer quad muscles (vastus lateralis) more
