High Performance

Domande frequenti - High Performance Component

• What are Sidea’s High Performance components?
  These are optional components designed to customise the High Performance range of equipment. They include lever arms, pulleys, adjustment mechanisms for pull-ups and dips, training platforms, target balls, storage for discs and barbells, plyo boards and various types of bars. Each component attaches to the HP uprights via a proprietary fastening system, allowing for bespoke configurations tailored to training programmes and the space available.
• Are HP components compatible with all Sidea racks?
  No. The High Performance components are designed specifically for the HP Sidea range and are not interchangeable with Rack Station, Smart Rack or Outrace structures. The profile of the uprights, the hole patterns and the mounting systems differ in design. Before ordering, always check compatibility with your structure by contacting Sidea’s Gym Design service.
• How do you configure a custom HP rack with optional components?
  You start with the basic HP structure (frame, uprights, beam) and add individual components to your basket depending on the exercises you plan to do: lever arms for unilateral work, pulleys for cables, adjustment mechanisms for pull-ups and dips, and storage for weight plates. Sidea offers support via the Gym Design module with 3D renderings to validate the configuration before purchase.
• What equipment is needed for functional training and CrossFit?
  In a CrossFit box, the most sought-after pieces of equipment are suspension beams for rings and ropes, target boards for wall balls, integrated plyo boards, storage beams for bumper plates, floor-mounted barbell racks and height-adjustable bars for muscle-ups. Pair of lever arms are less common in this context, whilst they are central to strength training centres and personal training studios specialising in bodybuilding.
• Is the Gym Design service included with the purchase of HP components?
  Technical support for assessing compatibility is available to those evaluating custom configurations. By completing the form in the ‘Contact Us’ section of Gym Design, you will receive diagrams showing possible combinations and guidance on assembly sequences. This is particularly useful for large racks or public islands with multiple independent workstations.
• What is the difference between the Lever Arms Handle Pair and the Easy Lever Arms Pair?
  The H.P. Lever Arms Handle Pair (9301A) integrate the handle into the lever arm and are designed for exercises such as chest press, row and shoulder press using weight plates. The Easy Lever Arms Pair (9302) is the basic version, featuring a dedicated bar attachment (9319) and greater versatility for set-ups that alternate between multiple accessories on the same pin.
• Do HP pulleys operate at a ratio of 1:1 or 2:1?
  The H.P. Pulley (9350) Sidea is designed for use with HP racks featuring direct loading onto Olympic discs. The pulley ratio depends on the cable configuration and the chosen anchor point. For lat machines, low rows and pushdowns, 1:1 configurations are typically used; we recommend checking the setup in the specific technical manual for the component.
• Is it possible to add an H.P. Leg Extension to an existing HP rack?
  Yes, the H.P. Leg Extension (9352) is a modular component that attaches to the HP frame using the range’s standard mounting points. It transforms the rack into a complete strength training station for the quadriceps, ideal for personal training studios looking to maximise floor space whilst avoiding the need for dedicated machines. The length of the beam and the availability of rear working space must be checked.
• How many discs can the H.P. Storage Beam hold?
  The H.P. Storage Beam (9330) is designed to hold bumper discs and 50 mm Olympic weight plates on the side pins. The load capacity in kg depends on the number of pins and the diameter of the discs loaded; in commercial use, it is designed to handle the typical load of a squat/deadlift station without the need for a dedicated external rack.
• Do HP components require regular maintenance?
  HP components require monthly visual inspections of bolts, coupling pins and pulley bearings. Moving parts such as lever arms, pulleys and adjustment mechanisms should be lubricated every 3–6 months in high-frequency commercial environments. The padding on safety belts, dip stations and leg extension machines should be inspected for wear and replaced when the covering shows signs of sagging or tearing.

  Sidea offers a range of instalment payment options to make it easier to purchase professional equipment. Please see the dedicated page: Payment options Sidea.
