Muscle-building can have different purposes, ranging from physical conditioning from a sporting perspective to purely aesthetic ones related to hypertrophy and physical culture. Over the years, this branch of training, predominant in traditional gyms but still an essential part of any sports centre, has undergone many changes in terms of both approach techniques and equipment and the organisation of the available space.

In this sense, an area dedicated to strength training cannot do without one or more stations dedicated to weight training and, in general, to training with a barbell, which translates into a series of elements such as Power Racks, technical floor mats and all related accessories (barbells, bumpers, disc stops, etc.).

These elements have, however, been joined by new and increasingly innovative tools. On the one hand, equipment has been developed that makes it more comfortable to perform exercises that would otherwise be particularly complicated to organise, as in the case of the GHD or the Hip Thrust Platform Bench. On the other hand, equipment that fuses Functional Training concepts (global, multi-planar movement) with high loads specifically aimed at developing strength and power has also become increasingly popular. This is the case, for example, with the Clave, Macebell, Strongman Ball and Heavyweight Kettlebell.
