Strength training designed for Seniors

Originally designed for the active ageing market, HUR has over 30 years experience, over 10,000 installations across 6 continents. Through the use of well-proven exercising concepts for senior exercise,  and HUR Hi5 SmartTouch technology, HUR equipment is safe and easy to use for both a trainer or a resident independently.

The HUR Premium Line – offers world-leading university level equipment that are used specifically for senior exercise and rehabilitation. All of our HUR lines are available in both Analogue displays and our HUR Hi5 SmartTouch display.

Zero minimum resistance

The zero minimum resistance and stepless resistance adjustment (a choice of 100g or 1KG) of HUR machines is perfect for seniors. For many other brands, minimum resistance starts at several kilos and resistance is increased in 2.5 kg increments. In such cases, that all-important progression in strength training is not realised in an optimal manner and sometimes even the smallest amount of resistance can simply be too much especially for those with very little strength.

The 2019 Public Health Guidelines for those 65+ recommend that individuals strength train at least 2 days a week. Research shows we lose approximately 7-10% of our muscle mass per decade from the age of 30, making simple tasks like getting out of a chair increasingly difficult in later years. Through this zero resistance our HUR equipment enables those of all abilities to strength train.

Natural Transmission

HUR machines function through a resistance method that employs a natural transmission of power, Natural Transmission™, which simulates the natural function/movement of your muscles. Using pneumatic technology and lever arms, resistance is adjusted in accordance with your muscles’ natural generation of muscular force. All HUR machines work both concentric and eccentric phases.

Train and track the people you care for. HUR SmartTouch is the perfect combination of pneumatic strength training equipment and operating software.

• RFID Identification – Activate training with a single touch. Many of our machines will automatically set the weight and position.
• Cloud Based System – Operate the system wherever and whenever.
• Easy to use – Modern large touch screen with clear controls.
• Personalised Program – Users personal online profile visualises progress from their training program and provides a messaging feature between user and instructor. There is also an additional ability for instructors  to update programs remotely.
• No need to log in – Start training at the first machine.
• Automated Reporting- of progress, facility status and equipment usage etc.

The HUR Hi5 SmartTouch Power feature motivates users to perform their exercise correctly and thus help to improve the individuals’ muscle strength. The previous exercises are analyzed automatically, and individual Power targets are shown during the exercise.

HUR SmartTouch enabled machines provide range of motion which help determine where the user’s individual movement starts and ends. Motivate individuals to train safely, independently and improve their range of motion by using HUR SmartTouch pneumatic technology machines.
