Bodytone Forza FB40 Abdominal Machine, Compact Selectorised Core Station

In brief — Bodytone Forza FB40 Abdominal Machine, Compact Selectorised Core Station: dimensions 108 × 100 × 150 cm, weight 197 kg, thickness 2,5 mm, material steel, brand Bodytone, distributed by Light In Fitness, price 3,399.00 € excl. VAT.

The Forza FB40 is a selectorised abdominal machine on a compact 108 by 100 cm footprint, with a 107 kg stack and a machine weight of 89.5 kg before the plates. Trunk flexion against a guided, progressive load is what a floor mat cannot deliver, and the small footprint is what allows a club to install a proper core station instead of postponing it indefinitely.

The frame follows the Forza construction: carbon steel tube of 110 by 50 mm on the weight stack column and 100 by 50 mm on the working section, both 2.5 mm thick, welded robotically with no spatter. Plate guide rods are stainless steel with a double hard chrome treatment so the stack glides consistently, the pulleys are nylon with a V groove and an internal bearing, and ultra quiet ball bearings keep the movement smooth through the high repetition sets typical of abdominal work.

The stack holds 107 kg in 7 kg plates, which is more load than most members will use on trunk flexion and gives a wide margin at the top of the range. The point of a stack that size on an abdominal machine is that the low end stays usable for beginners while advanced users are not limited.

Technical specification

Where a core station belongs on the floor

Abdominal machines are used when they are on the route members already take and ignored when they are not, which makes position more important than specification. The end of the machine circuit, or the boundary between the machines and the stretching area, works better than a corner. The seated position is also what makes core work available to members who will not get down onto a mat and back up again, a group that includes most of a corporate or older membership. At 108 by 100 cm the machine fits where a floor mat area would not, and it needs clear access to the front of the seat plus working room behind the stack. In facilities running back pain prevention programmes, this is one of the two or three machines the programme is actually built on. We will position the core station within your layout free of charge from your floor plan.

Frequently asked questions

Why use a machine rather than floor crunches?

Progressive measurable load, a repeatable movement path and a seated position accessible to members who cannot work on the floor. It also lets progress be recorded, which supports coached programmes.

Is 107 kg not excessive for abdominal work?

The top of the range is rarely reached, but a large stack means the increments stay useful across the whole membership rather than running out for stronger users.

How is the machine delivered?

Despatch from stock takes 5 to 10 working days. Delivery covers France, Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg, export is priced per project, and assembly on site is quoted separately.
