A strong and stable core is key to peak performance, and with the help of plate-loaded core and back gym equipment, you can build yours. Commercial plate-loaded strength machines utilise weight plates to provide resistance against core and back-strengthening exercises, like seated ab crunches, torso rotations and hip lifts.
Core and back plate-loaded machines form the ideal mid-point between the freedom of free weights, which engage stabiliser muscles, and the control of pin-loaded equipment, which isolate specific muscle groups. This equipment is robust, low maintenance and easy to use, making it ideal for commercial gym owners looking to attract a broad spectrum of members.
At GymQuip we offer a full range of commercial gym core and back equipment from the world’s most trusted fitness brands, both through our Canberra superstore – one of Australia’s largest fitness showrooms – and online. We can ship online orders to your door anywhere in the country, all of which are backed by a generous shipping and returns policy and our famous price beat guarantee.

In terms of strength training, plate-loaded machines offer more control than free weights, while engaging more muscles than pin-loaded machines. They can also offer greater load capacities than pin-loaded machines, and the ability to tweak the load more precisely, which is why they’re so popular with beginners and professionals alike.
The simplicity and control offered by plate-loaded gym equipment makes it great for strengthening and toning your abs, obliques and lower back muscles. Machines like ab and back machines are a great place to start.
