I want to protect my back when working out, will the BodyRail 4-series work for me?

This is where the idea came from for the BodyRail 4-series. The inventor actually tore a muscle in his upper back by doing curls with a barbell while standing. As with many exercises on BodyRail 4-series, you can choose to workout out with cables or with our free-floating exercise bar that rotates with your wrist. So not only are you getting the safety of reduced stress and strain on your back, you are also getting the feel and motion of free weights.

I want a low-impact workout, is the BodyRail 4-series for me?

The BodyRail 4-series really does give you a total body exercise and is low-impact so it is kinder on your joints. With free weights or multi-gyms, you are pushing the weight over your body, which causes your back, neck and head to be pressed into the bench. But with the BodyRail 4-series there is significantly reduced stress and strain on your back, neck and head.

I have not exercised for a while, is the BodyRail 4-series for me?

The BodyRail 4-series is suited for people of all ages, sizes and abilities. Low levels are perfect for beginners and range of motion exercises whilst higher levels are perfect for when you progress. All along the way you're getting fitter, stronger, burning fat and losing weight. However, if you have not exercised within the last 6 months, or suffer from any medical conditions, or if you are pregnant, you should always seek the advice of your Doctor before embarking on a new diet or fitness program.

I'm a member of my local gym, why would I buy the BodyRail 4-series?

Many customers have purchased the BodyRail 4-series to save the cost of a gym membership. A gym membership can be a good thing, but after all the travelling, parking, queuing to use the equipment, etc., is it really worth it? The BodyRail 4-series offers a much needed solution to those who hate the hassle of the gym and to those who are simply embarrassed at the gym and want to workout at home at their own pace. We challenge you to find an exercise you can't do on BodyRail 4-series. And if you think you have found one, contact us and we'll show you how to do it. Even if you already have a gym membership the chances are you don't have the time to make it there as often as you thought you would. BodyRail 4-series offers the perfect compliment to a gym membership for those times when you don't have time to leave the house, but still want a quick, but gym quality workout.

I just want to tone up and lose weight, is the BodyRail 4-series for me?

The BodyRail 4-series will help you make your diet much more effective. It is a proven fact that dieting alone is not the most effective, nor is it the healthiest, way to lose weight. No matter what diet you are on, exercise will make it much more effective. BodyRail 4-series is the ideal total body exercise machine to make your diet the most effective it can be. Providing a total body exercise, BodyRail 4-series not only works all major muscle groups but can also raise your metabolic rate, which means you will burn fat faster and keep it off for longer.

I'm 6' 5" will the BodyRail 4-series accommodate me?

Yes, the BodyRail 4-series's maximum user height is 6' 6" (198cm). Most other multi-gyms are designed for people with 'average' dimensions and may not be comfortable or easy to use for particularly tall, small or large individuals.

Do I have to assemble the BodyRail 4-series?

Unlike many multi-gyms, which can take hours to set up, the BodyRail 4-series can be set up in less than 5 minutes. Detailed instructions are included but if you experience any problems, just call our after sales service team who will give you guidance over the phone.

Will the BodyRail 4-series fit in my house?

When in use, the BodyRail 4-series measures 36cm x 290cm x 183cm (W/L/H) but when folded up takes up just 36cm x 21cm of floor space. Plus BodyRail 4-series's wall mount capability means the unit can fold up and take up only 17cm x 36cm of floor space when not being used. Existing BodyRail 4-series users have theirs located in spare bedrooms, garages, loft conversations, conservatories and living rooms.

Can I work out to failure?

If you're working to failure with the BodyRail 4-series, no spotter is needed so you can maximise your workout. When working out to failure with free weights, you should have a spotter. However, this is not always practical. For most adults, the maximum amount they can bench press once as a percentage of their body weight is about 87%. The BodyRail 4-series offers 89% of the users bodyweight as resistance, giving plenty of scope for the user to grow into. As they gain muscle, they will become heavier so the resistance will grow as they grow.

I'm really into Pilates, is the BodyRail 4-series for me?

BodyRail 4-series is the ideal total body exercise machine for your Pilates workout. Unlike traditional Pilates equipment, which use springs or elastic cords for resistance, the BodyRail 4-series provides quicker, more efficient and safer results with increased flexibility, improved performance, and an even development of toned muscles.

I've always worked out with free-weights, is the BodyRail 4-series for me?

Absolutely. The BodyRail 4-series can replace more expensive exercise machines and benches. Plus it also takes up less space. Many BodyRail 4-series exercises can be performed with cables or with our free-floating exercise bar that rotates with your wrist. So not only are you getting the safety of reduced stress and strain on your back, you are also getting the feel and motion of free weights. With free weights certain exercises are hard to perform. Also, there's nothing really you can do with free weights that mirrors a lat pull down machine for your large back muscles. The lack of a spotter is the biggest disadvantage. When using free-weights, good technique is essential if you want to reach your strength training goals, while avoiding injury. Balancing the weight while exerting force can be difficult and potentially very dangerous if you are lifting weights overhead. Free weights often cause undue stress, strain and compression on your back. With the BodyRail 4-series you can get the same workout with the proper form for maximum results with significantly reduced stress and strain on your back because you never lift any weight over your head.

I've been considering a body-weight style gym from a different manufacturer. Why would I buy the BodyRail 4-series instead?

With other body-weight style gyms the resistance comes from the level of your waist. Experts agree form is essential for maximum benefit. Doing a chest press where the resistance comes from the level of your waist does not maximize benefit. With BodyRail 4-series's patented adjustable height cables you can place the resistance in line with your chest to get the best workout possible. This means that you get fit quicker, lose weight faster, and get better more effective results. The BodyRail 4-series and its accessories offer unparalleled versatility. There is a reversible foot platform, a wide cable rod for lateral cable resistance adjustment and a free-floating exercise bar that fits through 4 different positions in the rail and doubles as a dip bar. These accessories allow you to have hundreds of exercise combinations not available on other home gyms. All this allows you to do more exercises with better form for better, faster results. Other body-weight style gyms usually offer only 6 adjustment levels and up to 60% of your bodyweight as resistance. BodyRail 4-series provides 17 levels of adjustment and up to 89% of your natural bodyweight as resistance. The BodyRail 4-series is suited for people of all ages, sizes and abilities. Low levels are perfect for beginners and range of motion exercises whilst higher levels are perfect for when you progress. All along the way you're getting fitter, stronger, burning fat and losing weight.

I've been thinking of buying a multi-gym with a weight stack. Why would I buy the BodyRail 4-series instead?

The BodyRail 4-series uses your natural bodyweight as resistance, just like the resistance you encounter in normal daily activities. You can do just about every exercise imaginable with BodyRail 4-series, even swimming. You have to purchase the highest end multi-gym to come close to this number of exercises. With most multi-gyms it will take you hours to set up before you can use them. Some assembly manuals alone are 20 pages! The BodyRail 4-series can be set up in less than 5 minutes. When in use the BodyRail 4-series measures 36cm x 290cm x 183cm (W/L/H) but when folded it takes up just 36cm x 21cm of floor space, allowing for easy rollaway storage in a closet or another room. Some multi-gyms take up more than 97cm x 229cm x 215cm (W/L/H). Even folded they can take up over 97cm x 133cm of floor space. You must select where you are going to locate your multi-gym carefully as once fully assembled it will not go through doors easily. Compare BodyRail 4-series to any other total body exercise machine and you will see the difference. No other machine on the planet can give you the combination of strength training, toning and cardio with the BodyRail 4-series's speed, safety, quality and price. However, if you don't agree, we offer a 30-day money back guarantee.

Is the BodyRail 4-series the only product you sell?

At the moment it is but we are expanding our offerings to include the 1-series and the 3-series. The BodyRail 1-series and 3-series models use the exact same rail, seat, exercise bar, cables, handles, ankle straps and foot platform as out time tested 4 series. So you get genuine BodyRail quality throughout each of our products. This also means that if you buy the 1-series and want a more demanding workout, you can add the 3-series risers or the 4-series risers later on. The same if you buy the 3-series, you can add the 4-series risers later on if you wish. The 1-series is perfect for an economical toning workout, which includes a free set of resistance bands. With the optional foot platform, you can reverse for body weight resistance roll-away storage. The 3-series is ideal for general fitness, strength training and toning. The adjustable cable heights allow for Proper Form. With 7 levels of resistance, you can use up to 50% of Body Weight Resistance. Because there are no pulleys there is no loss of resistance on cable exercises. With the optional reversible foot platform you can use resistance from below the rail. When finished, you can easily roll the 3-series away for storage in a wardrobe, cupboard, etc.

I consider myself an experienced weight lifter, is the BodyRail 4-series for me?

Unlike many other machines, the Bodyrail 4-series is bilateral so you can use more advanced techniques like eccentric/negative training, which is a very intensive form of training that increases strength, power and muscle mass in a short period. During the eccentric part of the movement (when you are lowering the weight) you're between 20% and 40% stronger than during the concentric phase (when you are lifting the weight), so you can lift more weight during the negative phase. This extra weight and tension it places on the muscle fibres can make your muscles become bigger and stronger. For this to work, you must use a counterbalanced machine. Most research suggests that eccentric training is effective primarily when combined with concentric training, but because you need more resistance during the eccentric phase that you do on the concentric phase, you must use machines that allow you to lift the weight with both limbs but lower it with just one limb. Many other home gyms are unilateral, where each arm is independent from the other. The BodyRail 4-series is the ultimate body weight and gravity resistance workout, providing more full body exercises than any other total body exercise machine. The versatility and multiple adjustments will give you countless variations from low resistance range-of-motion routines to exercises that will challenge even the most serious of weight lifters. The 6' high risers provide users up to 89% of your bodyweight without having to add weights, although you can always add extra 100 lbs of weight plates. No other machine of this type provides that level of resistance.

I weigh 20 stone. Will the BodyRail 4-series support me?

Absolutely! The 4-series is suited for people of all ages, sizes and abilities up to a maximum user weight of 28 stone (181 kg). There are low resistance levels for beginners and higher levels of resistance for when you progress. All along the way you're getting fitter, stronger, burning fat and losing weight on a total body gym machine that will always accommodate your needs. Giving you commercial quality at a residential price, the 4-series is the perfect total body gym machine for home, Pilates, physiotherapy & light commercial applications.

I've never been able to maintain a regular exercise program. Why is the BodyRail different?

The first key is to choose the right gym machine and use it properly. If you use a conventional multi-gym you're missing out on countless exercises that can accelerate fat loss and increase muscle development. Boredom and lack of results are the biggest obstacles to losing weight, getting fit and building muscles. Your body needs to be constantly stimulated by different routines. No matter what your requirements are the Bodyrail 4-series will fulfill your requirements. By simply adjusting your grip and varying you handles, you will hit your muscles in new ways and keep you motivated. For example, when doing calf raises, pointing your toes inwards and outwards as well as forwards is the only way to develop your calf muscles. And when doing front raises, a narrow grip develops the front and middle deltoids, a shoulder width grip develops all the deltoid muscle, and a wide grip develops the rear and middle deltoids. If you think you've come up with an exercise you can't do on the 4-series, contact us and we'll show you how to do it. With numerous variations in resistance, you can perform a wide range of full body exercises in a wide variety of ways, which will keep you motivated and encourage you to maintain a regular exercise program.

What accessories does the BodyRail 4-series come with?

The BodyRail 4-series comes with ankle straps, two cable rods (35cm and 66cm), 2 cables, and the reversible foot platform. In addition, there's a comprehensive 5-Year Warranty that covers every 4-series part under normal use and conditions. The BodyRail 4-series really is the ultimate total body weight training gym machine.
