Bodytone SRX Solid Rock plate loaded machines

Bodytone SRX Solid Rock is the professional plate loaded range from Bodytone, designed for gyms, fitness centres, upmarket hotels and sports complexes. Load is applied with standard Olympic plates rather than a weight stack, and the frames combine industrial construction with a studied movement path. The design brief addresses the weaknesses commonly found on entry level plate loaded machines: excessive vibration under load, premature wear and approximate biomechanics.

What the range covers

Pressing and pulling stations, leg press and hack squat, leg extension and seated leg curl, hip thrust, calf and trunk stations, plus multi bar and landmine units. Sleeves take standard Olympic plates, so existing bumper and cast iron stock stays usable and there is no proprietary weight system to source later. Because there are no cables or pulleys, servicing is limited to bearings, bushes, fixings and upholstery.

Installation and compliance

Plan plate storage within reach of every machine: plates accumulating on the floor are the first cause of frame damage and blocked circulation. Allow the footprint plus a loading zone on both sleeve sides. Fit rubber gym flooring tiles under loading points. Indoor equipment falls under EN 957, published as EN ISO 20957, and warranty runs from 2 to 5 years depending on the range. See also plate loaded machines.

Frequently asked questions

Is a plate loaded line enough on its own?

For a strength focused facility, yes. For a general membership club with many beginners, a mix with selectorised stations works better, because the smallest increment on a plate loaded machine is the lightest plate on site. A common arrangement is a selectorised circuit plus a plate loaded strength area.

How much plate stock is required?

Enough for two users to load a working set on the heaviest stations at once, plus a shared reserve on trees between machines. Under stocking creates queuing and encourages users to strip a neighbouring machine. The exact quantity depends on the stations installed and on peak attendance.
