Keiser Equipment: A Deep Dive

Let’s see how Keiser’s lineup can enhance your training. You’ll learn what sets our machines apart and how they can fit into your facility or personal workout routine.

Keiser Resistance Machines: Designed for Every Setting

Keiser’s A300 and A400 machines incorporate advanced engineering and user-focused features to support a variety of goals, from rehabilitation to high-level athletic performance. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or aiming for personal records, these machines can adapt to meet your needs.

Keiser offers options for all major muscle groups, along with specialized models like the A300 Runner, letting you tailor a program that suits your approach to strength and endurance.

A300 Resistance Machines: Real-time Feedback for Targeted Results

The A300 series represents Keiser’s original low-inertia design, which optimizes strength, speed, and power training at any pace. Equipped with the Power Display, these machines provide real-time feedback on effort and performance. This enables users to track their progress and adjust their workouts for maximum efficiency.

A300-Resistance-Machines

Key Keatures

  • Dynamic Variable Resistance (DVR): Resistance adjusts seamlessly to match your strength curve, enhancing muscle activation throughout the entire range of motion​.
  • Power Metrics:  The integrated display measures peak power, percentage of peak power per repetition, and maximum power resistance. You can use this information to stay motivated or guide patient progress in rehab environments.
  • Independent Movement Options: Select machines, such as the A300 Leg Press and Chest Press Pro, allow for unilateral or bilateral movement. This allows you to train either one limb at a time or both together, reducing the risk of overcompensation.

A300 Power Display

Image of the Keiser A300 Power Display alongside an A300 Leg Press and Chest Press machineThe A300 Power Display provides real-time output so you can:

  • Measure Your Maximum Power: Identify the highest force you can generate for each exercise.
  • Monitor Power Across Sets: See when your performance dips and adjust accordingly.
  • Set Benchmarks: Aim for specific numbers that challenge you to push further.

You’ll find this display on Keiser’s A300 machines, functional trainers, and racks, offering a consistent way to keep tabs on performance.

A400 Resistance Machines: Next-Generation Training Insights

The A400 series builds upon the A300 foundation with advanced electronics, data, and a sleek touchscreen display.  It captures detailed data on power, velocity, and range of motion, while also offering unique measurements for each limb.

A400-Resistance-Machines

Highlights

  • 15.6” Touchscreen Display: Shows power, velocity, and fatigue levels so you can see where you’re strong and where you need work.
  • Unilateral Comparison Tools: Compare left and right limb performance to help you identify and address imbalances during training or rehabilitation​.
  • Seamless Data Integration: Export performance data for analysis in custom or off-the-shelf platforms, enabling coaches and clinicians to track individual progress over time​.

A400 Technology

Image of Keiser A400 Technology screen alongside an A400 Leg Press and A400 Chest PressBy providing real-time data on power, velocity, and range of motion, it allows you to:

  • Track progress: Monitor improvements in power and velocity over time.
  • Identify imbalances: Detect weaknesses in specific phases of an exercise.
  • Optimize training: Adjust resistance and repetitions to maximize results.
  • Increase motivation: Provide instant feedback to encourage maximum effort.

A400 technology is available across all resistance training lines including resistance machines, Infinity Series, and Keiser racks.

Keiser Racks: The Foundation of a Versatile Resistance Training Area

Keiser racks provide the flexibility to incorporate both pneumatic and traditional iron resistance, allowing for a wide range of exercises and training modalities. Whether you are interested in Olympic lifting, powerlifting, or simply improving overall strength, Keiser racks offer a safe and adaptable solution. The ability to combine Keiser’s low-inertia resistance with iron weight creates unlimited training options.

Image of rows of Keiser Power Racks at an Exos facility

(Keiser Power Racks at an Exos Facility)

Why Mixed Resistance Matters

Traditional mass-based resistance relies on gravity, where the force required to lift a weight is influenced by acceleration. In contrast, Keiser's pneumatic resistance provides a consistent force, regardless of acceleration. This is because pneumatic resistance is driven by air pressure, not mass.

This unique characteristic of pneumatic resistance makes it ideal for high-velocity movements and power development. By combining pneumatic and mass resistance, users can achieve a balanced and effective training stimulus.

To dive deeper into the science and learn about optimal load-velocity profiling on Keiser Racks, check out our article on "Unlocking Strength Training Potential with a Mixed Resistance Approach".  

Designed for Precision and Safety

Keiser’s Racks include features that optimize both safety and performance.

Leverage Unique and Effective Ways to Train

Traditional racks, while functional, often limit training to conventional movements and free weights. Keiser racks, on the other hand, open up a world of possibilities. By incorporating our pneumatic resistance technology, you can offer unique and effective ways to train.

Keiser Stretch Corner: A Smarter Approach to Flexibility Training

Keiser-Stretch-ZoneStretching is essential, yet often neglected. Many people skip it because they’re unsure of proper techniques or uncomfortable with traditional floor-based routines. The Keiser Stretch Corner solves these challenges with a practical and approachable design.

This compact unit, taking up less than 32 square feet, provides guided instructions for 14 specific stretches that suit a wide range of needs. All exercises are performed seated or standing, making it accessible to a broad audience. With the capacity to accommodate up to three users at once, it’s an efficient solution for group use in health clubs, rehab facilities, or performance training spaces.

The Keiser Stretch Zone makes flexibility training simple, effective, and inclusive, helping users improve mobility, reduce injury risks, and support overall health.

Keiser Compressors: The Engine of Pneumatic Power

Keiser-Large-and-Small-CompressorsAt the heart of Keiser’s pneumatic platform lies a robust air compression system that turns electricity into the smooth, controllable resistance that sets our equipment apart. We offer two compressor sizes—small and large—so you can scale the system to match your facility’s goals. The small unit, equipped with its own dryer for clean, dry air, can power up to eight Keiser machines, making it an ideal choice for modest training spaces. The large unit, engineered for more expansive setups, supports up to eighteen machines at once, ensuring you never outgrow your capabilities.

Customizing how the compressor fits into your space is easy. Some clients choose to feature their compressor behind a clear display case—painted and accented with the Keiser logo in their own signature colors to create a subtle branding statement. Others prefer a more discreet approach, tucking the compressor behind a wall or inside a closet, with flexible, chemical-resistant air tubes routed cleanly to each machine. The result is a seamless, professional appearance and reliable, whisper-quiet performance, whether you want to show it off or keep it hidden away.

Keiser Power Console: Command Central for Performance and Efficiency

Keiser-Power-Console-placeholderThe Keiser Power Console is the backbone of the A400 Series, uniting advanced technology and practical design to optimize your training environment. Designed to power, connect, and manage A400 machines, the Power Console ensures seamless operation and data integration, making it an indispensable tool for any fitness facility.

Integrated System for Seamless Operation

At the heart of the Power Console is its ability to streamline data and air supply distribution. The unit houses essential components, including:

Scalable Design to Meet Your Needs

The Power Console can adapt to facilities of any size:
