New gym equipment and upgrades at Tiverton Gym

As Selly Oak’s premier student gym, we’re always striving to stay up to date with the latest fitness trends and provide a fantastic member experience. This year we’ve invested in a number of exciting upgrades and new pieces of equipment at Tiverton Gym.

 

Read on to find out all about it, plus some top tips from our expert instructors on how to make the most of our newest additions.

New multifunctional racks

The new multifunctional racks provide an excellent addition to your versatile strength and conditioning workouts. 

Gym Supervisor Janine explains a few ways you can use this machine below!

New standing calf raise 
 
The new standing calf raise machine delivers targeted calf training while helping to minimise strain on the spine.
 
Designed to isolate the lower leg muscles, it allows you to effectively train the calves in their strongest standing position. Keeping the legs straight places greater emphasis on the gastrocnemius, helping you develop bigger calves and a more defined calf peak.
Plate Loaded Hack Squat machine

The new Plate Loaded Hack Squat, located in Tiverton Gym allows you to perform multiple variations of lunges and squats, with the plates providing resistance along an angled sled track.

It also offers a great version of squatting that reduces overall spinal load, making it an excellent way to grow your quads without straining your lower back!

Leg curl machine

The new leg curl machine offers targeted hamstring training from a lying position for optimal muscle activation.

 
Designed to help you get the most from your hamstring training, the leg curl machine provides a stable and effective platform for isolating the muscles at the back of the legs. The long, horizontal layout delivers full body support, while the angled pad enhances stability and comfort throughout the exercise. Together, these features help create a strong, effective contraction with every rep, making it a valuable addition to any complete leg training area.

Upgrade your workout routines with these new additions, plus hundreds more resistance, lifting and cardio stations at Tiverton Gym, located in the heart of Selly Oak.

 

These state of the art facilities are available exclusively to University of Birmingham Tiverton Gym student members.
