Total Gym ELEVATE Press Trainer

About

The Total Gym ELEVATE Press Trainer is a commercial shoulder press machine that introduces an entirely new way to do a shoulder press. The ELEVATE Press™ places users in an inverted position, unloading the lower back and reducing spinal compression. Total Gym ELEVATE Press Trainer seven adjustable levels allow users to select a percentage of their own bodyweight as resistance, while the unique closed-chain design reduces shoulder impingement that users typically feel using traditional shoulder press gym equipment and stabilizes the shoulder girdle for safe and effective upper body strengthening. Users are also provided with a mechanism for performing a decline push-up.
