No Sweat. Vacuum-formed panels for “revolutionary” fitness machine.

Nine years in development, the A-Trainer was designed to exclusively target the upper body, successfully combining the three key elements of physical exercise : cardio vascular, muscular endurance and muscle building, to provide a comprehensive upper body work out using innovative techniques offering the athlete the opportunity to alternate their training programme, by effectively targeting all of these elements using one piece of apparatus.

Its creator, Advanced Cardio Equipment’s Robert Howett passionately believes “the A-trainer will revolutionise the fitness industry.”

In 2023 Robert approached us with the aim of creating the cover for the rear of the machine. Following initial meetings, the project was greenlighted and our design team developed the initial concept into a realistic cost-effective design, and our material credibility ensured we were able to determine the most suitable material for a part where ‘high impact’ goes without saying!

Prototyped and approved the first panels went into production. The panels are vacuum formed in two parts and then rivetted together inhouse ready for shipping.

Launched at Elevate 2025 to a huge response, expect to see A-trainer in a gym near you soon.

We thank Robert and the team for this opportunity.
