We’ve come a long way from Mr Olympia and Arnie making bodybuilding popular in the late 70s and early 80s. From neon lycra and coordinated aerobics routines, a multi-billion dollar industry has become an essential part of life and routine for many. The availability of gym equipment near you has only increased and evolved to cover a wide range of individual needs.
Living as we do in an age of fascinating technological innovations, the fitness industry is no exception, and several applications across the space are making things like planning, tracking and executing your fitness goals easier than they’ve ever been. With everything from fitness equipment near you to advanced technology monitoring all of your vitals as you put the work in, Sydney’s number one gym equipment store Fitness Hero are sure to have a cutting-edge product that’ll help you wherever you are in your fitness journey.
One of the most important tools at your disposal are smartwatches and fitness trackers. The optimum way to integrate with tech you’re already using for other purposes, the smartwatch in combination with an AI-powered fitness app is a great way for you to monitor your overall progress and keep up to date with your health.
We know however that for many spending money is limited at the current moment, and to get a similar effect without buying an expensive smartwatch, we have fitness trackers that can help. While not as multifunctional as smartwatches, a fitness tracker is all you need to monitor your progress in the gym. It can also interface with devices placed on different parts of your body to more accurately track your progress in certain areas.
In combination with a fitness app, you can harness the power of technology to work out like you never have before. These apps enable you to personalise your workout plan and equip you with real-time feedback. It’s a revolution in self-guided personal training. Some of the most popular apps that harness this technology include Dr. Muscle, Fitbod, Freeletics, JuggernautAI and Peleton.
One of our most consistently popular product ranges, our home gym range includes a wide range of tried and true equipment to help you achieve your fitness objectives. However there’s been innovations that have made storing and using this equipment far simpler and less taxing on your overall space.
Of particular note is the adjustable dumbbell. It eliminates the need for a bulky rack and a large collection of fixed weight dumbbells. The adjustable dumbbell fits multiple weight capacities into one efficient package, enabling you to adjust the weight according to your strength and progress levels. If you’re looking to buy dumbbells in Sydney, adjustable is definitely an option worth considering, especially if you have space constraints.
Another important innovation is the introduction of all-in-one machines. Also known as Smith Machines, these enable you to perform multiple workout movements without the need for different machines.
The innovations don’t stop with technology and machines like squat racks or weight benches in Sydney. The physical nature of weight lifting has also shifted as sports science enables us to better understand the human body, how best to condition it, and things like the points at which it fatigues. In addition, the manufacturing process for weights has changed, with bumper plates being the latest innovation, being manufactured for durability and also minimising damage to floor areas when they’re dropped and moved around.
The main innovation that will help you improve your weightlifting workout is weight lifting straps. These are designed to get the maximum out of your lifting capacity. They can help to increase your endurance by minimising the effects of grip fatigue on your hands and wrists. What this means is that you can delay the point of exhaustion, enabling you to push yourself further.
Another innovation that’s popular for enthusiasts is weighted vests for running. Increasing the resistance in your cardio workouts will help enhance your progress. Also, if you’re thinking about training MMA which is popular at the moment, an MMA bag is a great tool that will help improve your agility, strength, and overall cardiovascular health and endurance.
When compared to the old days, one of the biggest changes in fitness is our understanding of how much our bodies can take in the gym and the steps we need to recover to get the best results, as well as the steps we can take beforehand to get the most out of each session.
This is where scientific formulas come into play. Having developed our understand of particularly protein’s role in developing muscle as well as stimulants in helping your endurance, a good balanced pre workout formula can be a game changer for your routine. Talk to our experienced staff about whether or not a high stimulant pre workout is right for you.
In terms of recovery, the importance of muscular care has been developed over years of research. While some of us have the time to get to a massage table, the innovation of percussive massage therapy devices such as the popular Theragun brand means you can bring your recovery with you on the go!
The global cost of living issues that continue into this year are causing ripple effects for many. We know that for some, fitness is an optional hobby, and they will - completely fairly - prioritise their funds elsewhere. For others, it is not an option - it’s a way of life! Fitness Hero have a range of budget friendly, innovative products to help you keep fit even when you’re watching your hip pocket!
