• What is the difference between the PU Super Pump Kit and the Vinyl Super Pump Kit?
  The 1129 kit uses polyurethane (PU) discs weighing a total of 19.5 kg, which are more resistant to scratches and falls and have a higher density. The 1133 kit features vinyl discs totalling 18 kg, which are less expensive and lighter to transport but have a shorter service life in intensive use scenarios. In commercial training centres with multiple daily sessions, the PU discs last significantly longer.
• What thickness of tatami is required for Fit Boxing?
  For Fit Boxing and martial arts involving controlled falls, 4 cm-thick tatami mats are used, such as the 9204 Red-Blue and 9231 Grey-Black models. The 2 cm mats (9205, 9207, 9230) are suitable for yoga, Pilates, gentle exercise and core training classes, where there are no significant impacts but an insulating, non-slip surface is required.
• Which kettlebells are best for group HIIT classes?
  For group work involving swings, goblet squats and cleans, we recommend competition kettlebells (2189V-2194V), which maintain the same external dimensions from 8 to 32 kg. This allows participants who change weights during the session to maintain the same technique. For a class of 10–12 people, you will need at least three kettlebells per weight category from 12 to 24 kg.
• Is the 3603 fitness trampoline suitable for commercial use?
  The 3603 model is designed for use in exercise studios for rebounding and mini-trampoline cardio classes. It can withstand multiple daily sessions with users weighing up to approximately 100 kg. For classes involving very low joint impact — such as those for older adults or post-injury rehabilitation — it remains one of the most effective solutions in terms of the cardiovascular workout to joint stress ratio.
• How many steps are involved in setting up a training room?
  The number depends on the maximum capacity of the class. A typical setup involves 20–25 steps for studios accommodating 25–30 participants, with a few spare units for maintenance rotation. It is best to opt for a single model (0235 Premium or 0230) to ensure consistent heights during group choreography.
• What distinguishes the Premium 0235 step from the Aerobic Step 0230?
  The Premium 0235 features a more robust frame, a dedicated non-slip surface and height adjustment with reinforced supports to withstand repeated loads during SuperPump barbell toning classes performed on the step. The Aerobic Step 0230 is the standard model, suitable for classic aerobics classes without significant additional loads.
• Is the StrikeBack 2107 punching bag freestanding or does it need to be secured?
  The 2107 StrikeBack is a freestanding punching bag with a weightable base, so it does not need to be fixed to the ceiling or wall. This feature makes it suitable for multi-purpose training halls, where equipment needs to be moved between classes. Once the base is filled with sand or water, it ensures stability for medium- to high-intensity Fit Boxing workouts.
• Does the 0005 LED timer support the Tabata and EMOM protocols?
  Yes, the 0005 timer allows you to programme customisable work and recovery intervals, suitable for Tabata protocols (20 seconds’ work / 10 seconds’ recovery for 8 rounds), EMOM and HIIT. The LED display ensures visibility throughout the exercise room, which is important when the class is following the round count without looking at their smartphones.
• Is the 0409 foldable TPE mat suitable for yoga?
  The 0409 in TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) is a fold-out mat that folds like an accordion; it’s practical for transport but has a stiffer structure than a classic yoga mat. It is suitable for Pilates, mobility exercises and post-class stretching. For regular yoga practice, the 1x2 m 3025 mat offers more surface area and better cushioning for floor-based poses.
• What equipment is needed for a small personal training studio that wants to offer small-group training?
  A basic setup for groups of 6–8 people includes: 8 Mini or Easy step platforms, 6–8 mats, a set of latex bands and fit tubes in various resistance levels, an LED timer, 2–3 fitness trampolines, a 2 cm EVA mat to mark out the soft zone, competition kettlebells ranging from 8 to 20 kg, and small proprioceptive equipment such as dune balls and slidisks.
