Having a dedicated Core Training Area excites and catches the attention of members. To fill this need, The Abs Company has developed a diverse line of abdominal products. Whether a Club needs to upgrade an existing ab/stretching area or create a new area from scratch, a Core Training Area can be customized to meet any Club’s specific needs, space and budget.
With the acquisition of the Impact Fitness line of products, the Abs Company can now meet the ever growing trend toward functional training. The Impact Fitness brand adds innovative core and full body functional training products creating a unique combination of isolated core training products and total body functional training equipment providing our customers with a single source for the latest fitness trends.
