Life Fitness / Hammer Strength Launches the Universal Cable

Fitness amenities can be a deciding factor for hotel guests and housing residents. For many, an onsite fitness center is essential for maintaining routines at home or on the road.

Life Fitness / Hammer Strength is proud to introduce the Universal Cable, a compact, versatile solution that transforms amenity spaces. Designed to fit multiple training options into small footprints, the Universal Cable empowers properties to deliver premium yet approachable fitness experiences that drive satisfaction and long-term loyalty.

The right fitness amenity can differentiate a property in competitive markets. The Universal Cable helps deliver what guests and residents demand. Space-saving and multifunctional, it replaces multiple bulky machines with one sleek, intuitive solution. Exercisers at every fitness level can walk in, train confidently and leave impressed.

“At Life Fitness / Hammer Strength, we understand that a thoughtfully designed fitness center is more than an extra perk. It’s a key factor in guest and resident satisfaction,” said Jim Pisani, CEO. “The Universal Cable is meticulously engineered to be approachable for beginners and challenge seasoned exercisers, helping properties create welcoming, high-impact fitness spaces that leave a lasting impression.”

 

PERFORMANCE MEETS INCLUSIVITY

It is one piece of equipment that truly is for every BODY.

The new Universal Cable stands apart from other cable solutions, with features that support both advanced and adaptive training needs. It’s certified to ASTM F3021-17 standards, and all its adjustments are easily accessible. The one-handed vertical and horizontal arm adjustments can position the handles within a wide range (78in/198cm vertical and 89in/226cm horizontal), making it fully accessible to traditional and wheelchairs users.

The Universal Cable’s wide range of arm adjustments supports more strength training variety that better aligns with the body’s natural movement patterns for more effective results. Its smooth, 3:1 resistance ratio delivers dynamic training, which is perfect for athletes, beginners and rehabilitation. Integrated storage keeps attachments within reach, and the optional Life Fitness Connect integration provides access to hundreds of guided exercise examples for endless training variety.
