Comparison HMS Tytan 9 vs HMS Tytan 7

The highest weight of an athlete that the machine can normally handle for a long period (at least until the end of the warranty period with regular training). It is worth choosing a model according to this parameter with some margin — after all, during training, the weight can change noticeably, and upwards too; and if you are training to build muscle mass, then you should focus not on the current, but on the desired weight. And for the units used in public gyms, a large maximum weight is especially important — after all, people with a rather massive physique can use them. Anyway, you can’t exceed the weight limit: it’s not a fact that the simulator will break right away, but off-design loads will increase the wear of the structure and can significantly reduce the life of the product, and breakdown can occur at the most inopportune moment and lead to injury.

As for specific values, in most modern machines this limit is more than 150 kg. However, there are exceptions — models for 120 – 150 kg, or even 120 kg or less.

The dimensions of the equipment in the assembled and ready-to-work state. It is important to note that more space is needed for the comfortable and proper operation of the machine. This is due to the need to have space for the athlete, and the arm and leg extensions when performing exercises and using additional equipment. If we are talking about a gym, then people working nearby or other equipment, etc., can become a hindrance. Therefore, it is recommended when choosing to calculate that in addition to the dimensions of the simulator, you may need an additional metre of free space on each side.
