FEATURES:
Anchoring Points
The Anchor Gym's anchoring system is a versatile platform that gives fitness enthusiasts a powerful set of tools on the training floor. With multiple anchoring points in a single column, from ankle height to above the head, or spread out horizontally, the Anchor Gym Mini H1 allows users to perform hundreds of resistance band and suspension exercises, and dozens of dynamic stretches.
Hammer Head Safety Hook
The Anchor Gym Mini H1 features the Hammer Head Safety Hook. With its t-bar barrier tip, the hook allows bands and straps to be pulled from every angle without the possibility of disengaging. Users can exercise with confidence that their bands and straps are securely anchored. The hooks' rounded shape was designed for fast, easy and smooth transitions. The neck of the hook is reinforced for added strength to accommodate "extra heavy" resistance bands, suspension straps and stretch straps. Made of all steel components, the Anchor Gym Mini H1 is a space saving powerhouse capable of supporting up to 300 lbs. of resistance!
Resistance Bands
The Anchor Gym can be used with all types of resistance bands. Use medium to heavy bands to perform core crunching trunk rotations, chops and presses. Use lighter bands for a wide range of therapeutic exercises. With the Anchor Gym Mini H1, it's as simple as looping a band over a Hammer Head Safety Hook and pulling. Finally, the days of attaching bands to everything and anything are over.
Anchoring and Threading Bands:
For most exercises, especially those without vigorous dynamic movements, it is sufficient to simply loop the band over the hook. To increase safety, the user has the option of wrapping the band around the hook. This will form a closed loop around the hook providing a secure and safe anchor. Wrapping is recommended when performing vigorous dynamic exercises or exercises that require upward pulls or presses.
The Anchor Gym Mini H1 Station provides numerous additional options for anchoring resistance bands, suspension straps and stretch straps. To reduce the length and tension of a resistance band, a user simply anchors the band on one hook and threads it through a second hook. The same applies to suspension or stretch straps.
NOTE: The Anchor Gym is designed for use with rubber or latex resistance bands, and suspension and stretch straps made from cotton, nylon or polypropylene. Do not fasten resistance bands with metal clip hooks or other hooks made of hard materials (e.g. carabiners) onto the Hammer Head Safety Hooks. This has the potential to damage the powder coating on the hooks and cause premature wear.
