High-quality weight station and weight benches are the ideal solution for a safe workout where you can concentrate fully on your exercises - regardless of whether you work out in the gym or with your home gym equipment. Find out more about the benefits and training options here and find out what's important when choosing and buying a weight station!

Weight station and weight bench - the perfect duo for your workout 

A weight station is a piece of fitness equipment that you can use to train specific muscle groups depending on the design. Just like weight benches, you benefit from a stable and safe training position that allows you to focus entirely on the exercise in question. This makes weight stations and weight benches very suitable for beginners, but they also offer advanced users the opportunity to train intensively.

It doesn't have to be 'either or', as fitness equipment and weight benches also work perfectly as a duo: for example, a training bench is the perfect complement to training with a cable pull station. Thanks to attachments or integrated accessories, such as leg curlers or curl desks, some multifunctional weight benches even fall into the category of “weight stations”. 

Set specific training focuses on the weight station 

There are various fitness machines, all of which differ from one another in terms of their design and exercise options. Here you will find an overview of the most popular types of weight stations: 

• Weight Benches with integrated training function: these training benches have a curl desk, a leg curler or a bench press design, for example, and therefore expand the options for performing exercises with weight plates. 
• Cable Pull Stations: With these fitness machines, the training weight is moved upwards using robust steel cables and pulleys. Lat pull stations are particularly popular and are a must-have in any gym, providing intensive training for the back, shoulder and arm muscles. 
• Butterfly Machine: This fitness equipment is designed for targeted training of the chest muscles. For beginners in particular, training on the machine can offer advantages over performing butterfly exercises with dumbbells, as the latter can quickly lead to poor posture and overloading of the joints. 
• 4in1 Power Tower with dip station and pull-up bar: These fitness towers are multi-stations that offer a wide range of exercises for the upper body. The integrated dip horns enable targeted training of the triceps and shoulder muscles, while the pull-up bar supports the strengthening of the back, shoulder and arm regions. 
• Leg Machines: Leg machines such as leg press machines, leg curlers and calf raises are fitness machines that aim to improve the strength, definition and endurance of leg muscles. 
• High-end all-in-one Multistations: These power gyms leave nothing to be desired. They offer the combined functions of different power stations and therefore allow you to train your entire musculature on one machine. 

Advantages of power stations 

Power stations offer a variety of advantages for effective full-body training: 

beginners are guaranteed a safe and versatile introduction to training. 

Strength stations make it possible to perform exercises correctly and train specific muscle groups through guided movements. 

Thanks to integrated safety devices, weight stations offer training with increased safety and stability, which is particularly useful for heavy exercises or high weight loads. 

Buying a weight station

Finding the right weight station for your home requires careful consideration. The following questions will help you choose the right fitness equipment for your training goals. 

Finding the right weight station for your home 

• What do I want to train? Having a clear idea of the muscle groups you want to train will help you choose the right weight station. Define the goals and exercises that you definitely want to include in your training plan. These criteria will enable you to choose a training station that best meets your individual training needs. 
• Which weight station is right for you? Depending on whether you are aiming to build muscle, increase strength or train your whole body, there are a variety of options. The different machines from SQMIZE combine a variety of functions so that you can, for example, support your training with pull-up bars or the leg press, or opt for a cable pull station to improve your upper body strength.
• How much space do I have? To ensure that all the functions of the selected training station can be used safely, it is important to consider the available space. We recommend measuring the available space precisely to ensure that the weight station not only fits in physically, but that the environment offers sufficient room for movement. 

Checklist for choosing your weight station:

Available exercises: Check whether your desired weight station actually covers the exercises required for your training goals.
