Not your usual fitness equipment website!

Our machines are so novel that we have to explain what they are and how they work. Other companies in our industry don't have that problem. So if you're just price shopping for a leg press or Smith machine or whatever, you've come to the wrong site

But if you're open to new ideas and seeking something radically different to give you a serious competitive edge, wander around the site - we guarantee that you won't find the products you see here anywhere else.

Why you should consider MyoQuip equipment

MyoQuip develops fundamentally innovative, rather than imitative, equipment for resistance training embodying our patented QuadTorq technology.

MyoQuip's radically innovative machines are focussed on:

  • Strength and muscle building exercises involving complex or multi-joint movements,
  • Full range activation of major muscle groups, and
  • Strength requirements specific to a particular sport

MyoQuip is committed to exploring and identifying areas where current strength-increasing technology is inadequate or nonexistent, as a basis for improving human performance.

The ScrumTruk

Typical of this approach is the ScrumTruk rugby strength builder, the first and only rugby-specific strength machine. It has proven effective in safely enhancing the strength, power and body mass of rugby players, both backs and forwards, as well as athletes in other sports. Unlike most variable resistance machines the ScrumTruk is designed for complex, multi-joint and large muscle mass movement.

In rugby the ScrumTruk is already being used by the Wallabies; Brumbies; Waratahs; Queensland Reds; Auckland Blues; Northampton Saints and other leading clubs and schools.

The HipneeFlex

MyoQuip's HipneeFlex is the only machine ever developed to effectively and simultaneously strengthen the hip and knee flexor muscles. As with the ScrumTruk, QuadTorq technology provides an appropriate level of muscle activation throughout the entire exercise movement.

Strong hip flexors provide an advantage in a wide range of athletic activities including sprinting, kicking and climbing and in sports such as rugby and American football, cycling and cross country skiing.

In addition, both hip and knee flexors perform a vital role in controlling the rate of descent and ascent in leg extension exercises such as the squat.

The ScrumTruk strength-increasing machine is used for development of the pushing muscles employed in the rugby scrum. Note that the body position is virtually identical to that adopted in both the scrum itself and when using the 8-man scrum machine. The player has intuitively adopted a natural exercising position with straight line loading on the lumbar region. Google PageRank Checker Tool
