Sled: the Sidea selection
Lo sled — known in Italian as a ‘training sledge’ — is an essential piece of equipment in professional athletic conditioning. It consists of a metal frame with sliding runners, designed to be loaded with weight plates and moved across specific surfaces either by pushing it directly or by pulling it with a harness or rope. Unlike many pieces of equipment in the functional training, the sled does not involve an eccentric phase: this makes it a particularly useful piece of equipment for high-volume training without causing excessive muscle damage. The Sidea range for sled training comprises two sled models, a kit bag, a professional harness and interchangeable accessories such as a push tube and a loading tube made of stainless steel.
Who is the Sled for?
The sled originated in athletics but has, in recent years, established itself as a key piece of equipment in commercial gyms, CrossFit boxes and personal training studios as well. Each setting uses it for different purposes.
Strength and conditioning coaches and team sports. In sports that require short bursts of acceleration and changes of direction — football, rugby, American football — the sled is an integral part of conditioning programmes. Typical protocols involve 10–20-metre sprints with progressive resistance, or pulling exercises to simulate the acceleration phase in an inclined position.
CrossFit box. Here, the sled is used both as a strength training tool (heavy loads, short distances) and as a metabolic tool in WODs. Its versatility — it can be loaded and unloaded in a matter of seconds — makes it ideal for high-turnover sessions with multiple athletes.
Personal trainers and PT studios. For clients with joint restrictions in the knee or back, the sled allows the hip extensors and quadriceps to be trained safely, without putting pressure on the spine and without the need to manage the eccentric phase. It is also useful for post-injury functional rehabilitation, in consultation with a physiotherapist.
Advanced home gyms and garage gyms. Anyone setting up a home gym If you have an outdoor area or a tarmac path, you can incorporate the sled into your training programme without the need for any complex additional equipment. All you need is a sled, a harness and a few bumper discs.
Strength athletes and strongmen. For those new to strong fitness training, the sled is a complementary exercise to the deadlift and the squat for developing horizontal force.
How to choose
Choosing the right sledge depends on three main factors: the surface on which it will be used, the type of training planned and how often it will be used.
Surface. On natural or artificial grass, the sledge glides on flat metal runners that adapt to the ground. On indoor surfaces (industrial asphalt, rubber, polished concrete), care must be taken to ensure that the runners do not damage the floor and that friction is manageable. For surfaces made of synthetic grass paving Sidea also supplies EcoGarden Competition markers, which are useful for marking out lanes and laying out courses in equipped outdoor areas.
Model: Speed Sled vs Competition Sled. The Speed Sled is designed for high-speed work with moderate loads: accelerations, resistance sprints and circuit training. The Competition Sled is structurally more robust, designed for high loads and intensive use in competitive settings or advanced athletic training. If your training is predominantly metabolic and involves low loads, the Speed Sled is sufficient. If your programme regularly involves working with loads of over 80–100 kg on the sled, the Competition Sled is the right choice.
Accessories. The Sled Bag Kit allows you to load the sled with sandbags instead of discs: useful for outdoor use and situations where you don’t want to risk damaging the bumper plates. The Push Tubes (sold in pairs) transform the sled into a tool for pushing exercises in a standing position or with a low grip, altering the mechanics of the movement. The Sled Harness is essential for pulling exercises: it is worn around the torso and allows you to pull the sled whilst maintaining correct posture and freedom of movement in the arms. The stainless steel Loading Tube is a spare partsor structural, ensuring long-term durability even with intensive use.
Compatible weight. Always check the maximum load specified by the manufacturer. Most professional weight plates are compatible with discs with a 50 mm hole (Olympic standard), but it is important to check the diameter of the loading pin.
Sidea Products for Sled
The Sidea range covers the entire ecosystem of sledge applications, from the main units to the interchangeable accessories.
Sledges: the Speed Sled (9097/1) It is a speed and conditioning sledge, lightweight and manoeuvrable; the Competition Sled (9097/2) It is the model designed for heavy loads and competitive use.
Functional accessories: the Sled Harness (R9097) It is the harness used for pull-up exercises; the Push Tube Sled Pair (R9097/2) is the pair of tubes used for pushing exercises; the Stainless Steel Loading Tube (R9097/3) This is the stainless steel charging point, either as a replacement or a structural upgrade.
Alternative load: the Sled Bag Kit (9096) allows you to load the barbell with bags rather than discs, making it ideal for outdoor use or on surfaces where bumper plates are impractical.
Outdoor infrastructure: the EcoGarden Competition Marker (9192/RMH) It is a marker used to demarcate lanes on artificial turf, and is suitable for outdoor set-ups for sledge training.
All products are available in the category SLED – Sleds for pulling exercises.

The Speed Sled is optimised for high-speed work with moderate loads: resistance sprints, circuit training and HIIT protocols. The Competition Sled has a more robust construction, designed to withstand high loads on a continuous basis. The choice depends on the intensity and type of loads you intend to use regularly.
-
The sled works on natural grass, artificial turf, tarmac and concrete. In indoor settings, the friction with the surface must be carefully assessed: on technical rubber, the sled glides much less easily than on artificial turf or tarmac. Some models can be fitted with protective pads for delicate surfaces.
-
It is not strictly compulsory for all exercises, but it is essential for pulling exercises. The harness distributes the load across the torso, maintains correct posture and frees up the arms during the movement. For direct pushing exercises, push tubes are used, which allow for a stable grip and a biomechanically correct position.
-
The Sled Bag Kit is a system of bags that replaces bumper plates as a means of loading the sled. It is useful in outdoor settings where you do not want to expose the bumper plates to damp or the risk of them slipping, or when you prefer a lower, more compact load distribution. Sand or filling granules allow for flexible load adjustments.
-
Standard protocols specify distances of 10, 20 or 40 metres. For effective use indoors, a running track of at least 15–20 linear metres is therefore required. Outdoors or on artificial turf, there is greater flexibility. In smaller spaces, however, it is still possible to use the sled with a rope and pulley to simulate resistance without the need for linear routes.
-
Yes, the sled is one of the few strength and conditioning tools that can be easily adapted to all levels. The absence of an eccentric phase makes it safe even for those trying high-intensity training for the first time. Simply start with low loads — even just the weight of the sledge — and increase them gradually based on your metabolic and muscular response.
