Product

Our patented strength training device Sparkfield Core combines the latest robotic technologies with the best training methods to combine the benefits of free weights with guided machine training. Sparkfield Core only requires a floor space of 2 square metres. With just one machine and at the touch of a button, so to speak, you get the training quality and variety of a complete premium gym. Sparkfield Core offers a wide range of over 30 recognised strength exercises for all muscle groups. Whether pulling or pushing exercises while standing or sitting - the selection is varied and customisable.

Description of customers/target groups

Sparkfield Core is ideal for use in small spaces. It offers physiotherapists access to the growing secondary health market with health-focused and preventive strength and muscle training. In the field of corporate fitness offerings (BGM, BGF), Sparkfield Core allows even space-constrained companies to present a low-barrier and inspiring fitness options.

Other target segments include modern micro-studios, residential complexes, hotels, and sports clubs.
