Leg Press
In this position you can perform the Leg Press exercise on the Newton Fitness Black Series BLK-875; a popular and indispensable exercise for developing strong thighs. The heavy construction, including the 2 large tubes through which the base plate moves, ensures the training is stable and smooth.
Extra large base plate for the Leg Press
The extra large foot plate for the Leg Press exercise ensures you can place your feet in different positions. So you can emphasize the quadriceps or the hamstrings and glutes and vary the training. The anti-slip profile of the foot plate provides a nice grip during the Leg Press exercises and ensures your feet are less likely to slip. You can adjust the foot plate in 5 positions and also fold it away when you want to perform the Hack Squat exercise.
Adjustable angle for the backrest
You can adjust the bottom foot plate on which the backrest rests for the Leg Press exercise to 5 different positions, so that you can take an optimal position for training. This allows the device to be adjusted according to body type or desired range of motion.
Hack Squat
To perform the Hack Squat exercise, fold away the foot plate for the Leg Press exercise. The cushion you use as a backrest used for the Leg Press exercise, you can easily remove it and use as a backrest for the Hack Squat exercise. Because of this you can place your feet on the bottom extra large foot plate and get started with the Hack Squat exercise! The soft backrest, soft shoulder pads, luxurious handles and extra large foot plate ensure you can perform the exercise comfortably.
Simple unlocking system
To unlock the weight, you will find a handle directly next to the seat on each side, with which you can easily unlock and perform your workout. By turning both handles outwards you unlock the weight. When you want to stop the weight, you can turn both handles inward again. The springs at the bottom of the system ensure that the weight is collected if you do not get the weight to the lowest position. If you don't want to drop the weight very far, you can adjust the starting position in advance using 2 pins, so the weight starts and stops from these pins.
