There’s a lot of equipment out there- free weights, machines, functional equipment- and all of it can be used appropriately for one purpose or another. Which type do you use most often with your clients and why?

I love the power rack. To me training the squat, bench press, and dead lift are vital and the power rack is the perfect platform. Those are the big three movements, but the variety of free and body weight exercises that can be performed on a power rack are only limited to your imagination.

I love battling ropes. There are so many different exercises and routines that one can perform with the ropes, that it makes them a great addition to any training program. They are so versatile and if I had only one choice of an equipment, then the ropes would be mine. Upper body, lower body, muscular endurance, strength, physical conditioning and fun are some of the benefits.

Best,
Harris

The TRX suspension trainer is my favorite piece of equipment simply because it focuses on the entire body and all plains of motion. its practicality is unique and safe to use regardless of age, gender or ability.

I’m adding to my previous answer the ruck. The ruck is a backpack that holds some weight in it. It can be bricks, sandbag, kettlebells, weighted plates or books. My choice would be bricks because they are cheap to buy and easy to transport. The reason I like the ruck, is that I can have my clients do a number of exercises while wearing their ruck for extra resistance. They can also go for a run or walk to burn some extra calories.

As for Cardio I prefer the Arc trainer because it’s easier on the knee than the treadmill or Elliptical and tends to burn more calories in less time. I prefer Free Weights over machine Because I feel you get a wider range of choices for your workout in less time.
