Fitness Performance and Consistency
The fitness industry involves loads of equipment that make exercise a breeze, from bikes to treadmills, to rowing machines. However, injury risks relating to muscle strains, overextension, among other things are possible, if the equipment you use is unsafe and non-compliant with industry standards.
Below are our product lines that cater to the industry and the applications of our products in fitness.

Product Applications
Weight Machines
Cable machines are popular in public and home gyms for simple use and safety. Ensuring you have the right cables and pulleys can prevent injury or muscle strain and enhances the workout experience.
EXERFLEXPRO® cables are not only reliable, with high fatigue resistance, but have very high breaking strengths. No matter the weight being used on the machine, these fitness cables are proven to continue to perform.
Resistance Training
Resistance training machines are limited to one specific range of motion, targeting only the intended workout or muscle group. While some weight machines can be used for different workouts, these can not.
The importance of strong cables and pulleys in resistance training equipment is that they must remain in the exact correct position to maintain this one intended range of motion, while still offering the correct resistance for the set weight on the machine.
Cable Crossover
Cable crossover machines are any machine using two separate pulleys and cables, often used for exercises where you cross your arms during a rep. These machines offer a separate challenge for the cables and pulleys in that they must move the exact same way and remain in the same positions as each other in order to be able to use the machine properly.
If there was an issue with one of the pulleys and one cable is far higher on the machine than the other, the machine is essentially unusable.
Cardio Equipment
Cardio equipment with resistance options, such as treadmills or ellipticals, will use cables and pulleys to transmit the correct amount of tension. Having a strong cable and reliable pulley allows for resistance to be adjusted safely, ensures smooth and reliable performance and helps the machine avoid wear and tear damage over time.
Using a coated cable also protects the metal core of the machine from corrosion, while reducing friction which could cause damage or unwanted noise during a workout.
