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.

(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.

  • The pneumatic system enables on-the-fly resistance adjustments.
  • Integrated power displays provide real-time feedback on force output, velocity, and reps.
  • Adjustable safety catches and a sliding pulley system ensure smooth and controlled movements, reducing the risk of injury during explosive lifts.
  • Rotating pull-up handles and an easy-to-adjust bench add even more versatility to this powerhouse system.

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.

What Keiser racks can do that conventional racks can't:

  • Assisted Pull-ups: Help beginners or those with limited upper body strength perform pull-ups with proper form.
  • Pneumatic Belt Step-up Jumps: Add resistance to explosive step-ups without the need for external weights, making the exercise more challenging and effective.
  • Pneumatic/Free Weight Back Squats: Combine pneumatic resistance with traditional barbells for a truly dynamic squat workout. Adjust the pneumatic resistance to target specific phases of the movement or provide assistance as needed.
  • Continuous Squat Jumps: Perform squat jumps with continuous resistance, enhancing explosiveness and power development.
