Our Range of Workout Machines
Get the most out of your workout with our multi-functional exercise machines. Our extensive selection includes several cardio fitness machines, plate-loaded machines and cable pulley machines.
Our gym machines are perfect for meeting all your training goals, whether you're targeting specific muscles, increasing endurance or simply refining your existing workout routine.
Here’s what you can expect from our range of gym machines.
Weight Machines
We offer a variety of gym weight machines, including cable and plate-loaded machines designed for weighted strength training. These machines allow you to adjust your load according to your capabilities and are perfect for increasing weight as you become stronger.
Plate Loaded Machines
Give your weight plates an extra purpose when you invest in a plate-loaded machine. These unique gym machines give you the freedom to add and remove weights for unlimited customisation of your load for a whole-body workout. With plate-loaded machines, you have the benefit of targeting only one muscle group with exceptional strength equipment. This design is perfect to challenge your limits and increase your gains with progressive overload training.
We stock various plate-loaded machines, including shoulder press, leg press and hip thrust machines. These are ideal for building specific muscle groups with targeted upper and lower body training. While most of our plate-loaded machines have built-in seats, our Smith machines facilitate both sitting and standing exercises. Our leg press machine offers exceptional leg day workouts while keeping you safe when training to failure.
Cable Pulley Machines
Cable machines are known for their convenience and efficiency. They come with pin-loaded weight plate stacks for hassle-free selection. This intuitive design helps streamline your workout, as you don’t need to manually add weights and can quickly adjust your load between sets. They can also be paired with a weight bench for dynamic chest exercises that target your pecs and delts.
Our targeted lat pulldown machines are great for intense upper-body training. For more versatile exercises, we also offer dual cable machines with two weight stacks. Our combination dual cable and half power racks make perfect at-home multi-gyms. With just one machine, you can get a comprehensive full-body workout. This is not only super cost-effective but also a major benefit for home gyms with limited floor space.
Cardio Machines
Our cardio machines, featuring a non-weight-bearing design, are the perfect choice for low-impact, high-intensity workouts. These robust gym machines help increase strength and cardiovascular health without putting too much pressure on your joints. This offers increased safety and is especially useful if you’re recovering from an injury.
Several of our cardio gym machines feature built-in performance trackers to help monitor progress and record vital statistics like heart rate. Some models also have innovative flywheel designs for varied resistance during training. This is ideal for accommodating different fitness levels in a commercial gym while giving the whole body a functional workout.
Stationary Bikes
Our stationary bikes are the perfect piece of gym equipment for increasing overall fitness and endurance. They fit well in a home gym and are a great solution for outdoor cyclists who want to continue training during bad weather. Each bike features a comfortable padded seat with adjustable height settings for different users.
Stationary biking is a low-impact exercise that is gentle on the joints while helping you achieve an effective cardio workout. Regular use of a stationary bike can help strengthen your legs and lower body muscles, such as the calves, hamstrings and quads. It’s also a great way to burn calories and manage weight.
Ski Machines & Rowers
Our rowing and ski machines are designed to help you tone your entire body with just a single move. A ski machine imitates cross-country skiing, while a rowing machine simulates rowing a boat through water. These movements target your legs, arms, back and core for an intense full-body exercise session.
Rowing machines are an excellent choice if you’re looking to improve both cardiovascular endurance and muscular strength. They’re a low-impact workout that will be easy on your joints. Ski machines are great for engaging your upper torso to the benefit of your arms, core and shoulders. Both machines are great for burning calories and improving your fitness, stamina and posture.

FAQs
Before you buy a gym machine, it’s important to be as informed as possible. Learn more about gym machines and whether they’re the right choice for you by reading our answers to some frequently asked questions below.
What are the benefits of flywheel training?
Flywheel training (also called isoinertial training) uses the speed and force of your movements to generate varied air resistance. It offers several benefits, including the following:
-
Less pressure on joints
-
Consistent resistance throughout the entire range of motion
-
Enhanced strength and muscle-building
-
Suitable for all fitness levels
Flywheel training emphasises engaging more stabilising muscles than weight training, helping you improve your balance and coordination. Additionally, you’ll improve your speed and power thanks to the high resistance levels during the eccentric (lowering) movements.
What’s the difference between gym machines and free weights?
Both free weights (e.g. dumbbells) and gym machines are great for building muscle mass and increasing strength. However, there are several pros and cons to each training method. Here’s an overview of some of the most common examples:
Strength machines
-
Facilitate specific exercises
-
Better for targeting specific muscles with isolated moves
-
Offer extra stability and support as you perform reps
-
Ideal for beginners still perfecting their technique
Free weights
-
Facilitate diverse exercises
-
Better for targeting multiple muscles with compound moves
-
Force you to engage your stabiliser muscles
-
Offer an increased range of motion for improved functional fitness
Using both types of gym equipment will give you a more balanced workout, allowing you to build strength with the stability of machines and the flexibility of free weights.
How do I choose the right gym machine for my goals?
Choosing the right gym machine depends on your fitness goals, fitness level and the muscle groups you want to work.
-
For functional training: cable machines and cable pulley machines offer a great deal of flexibility and a wide range of movements that target different muscle groups. To build leg strength, the leg press actively isolates your glutes, hamstrings and quads.
-
For upper body strength: shoulder machines like a shoulder press machine focus on your deltoid muscles, which will help them grow exponentially. A weight bench is great for numerous pressing exercises to build your chest and arms. Resistance machines are easy to use and focus on controlled motions, making them the perfect starting point for beginners.
Are cable machines better than traditional weight machines?
There are various benefits to using both Cable machines and traditional weight machines:
Cable pulley machines
Cable pulley machines are great for a wide range of motion and constant tension, making them a match made in heaven for functional trainers focusing on multi-joint movements. This piece of strength equipment offers functional trainers an intense whole-body workout.
The great thing about these machines is the steady tension allows you to engage many muscle groups. Cable pulley machines are also quite safe. If you ever reach failure, you don’t have to worry about dropping heavy weights on yourself.
Traditional strength machines
Traditional strength machines use fixed movement paths, which makes these machines stable and easy to use. They are excellent for beginners or those targeting only one muscle group. Plus, you can always easily increase the weight, so you’ll always be able to progress steadily.
Is there any difference between home and commercial gym equipment?
Yes, there are differences between home and commercial equipment:
Commercial exercise machines
Commercial machines are built for durability and are designed for heavy usage. They’re usually larger, sturdier, and constructed using high-quality materials, while home gym machines are generally more compact and budget-friendly.
For strength training
Regarding strength training, power racks in commercial health clubs have higher weight capacities, while home ones are more compact. Multi-gyms in a commercial setting are more versatile for exercises, while home multi-gyms are focused on maximising smaller spaces.
If you’re into functional training, commercial equipment gives you the best value for money in addition to smoother mechanics and better build quality.
Regardless, Factory Weights fitness machines are suitable for home or commercial gym settings and cater to many fitness goals and budgets.
