Aktiv Solutions Launches New Platform for Functional Strength Training

Aktiv Solutions introduces a versatile tool to simplify setup and enhance functional strength exercises in gyms of all sizes

Functional fitness equipment brand Aktiv Solutions has announced the most recent addition to its selection of training platforms: the Aktiv BASE. The platform addresses common challenges gyms face by providing ergonomic support, portability and compatibility with a variety of equipment, including barbells, kettlebells, dumbbells and resistance bands.

Given the rise in popularity of movement-based and sports-specific training, Aktiv’s newest design allows users to customize their workouts based on their individual goals. The Aktiv BASE allows gym users to perform more than 20 exercises, including hip thrusts, step-ups, presses, lunges and more.

The design incorporates a Slant Zone, which promotes glute activation during bridging movements, and a Flat Zone, which supports bodyweight and weighted exercises. These areas optimize back support, foot placement and user comfort, according to Aktiv. The lightweight, portable design also comes with a built-in handle. 

Mike Kelly, Aktiv’s global vice president of sales, says the BASE can fulfill the needs of all gym-goers, no matter their workout type. 

“The Aktiv BASE is a fantastic new tool for every functional and strength training area,” Kelly said. “It’s easily portable and offers the right balance of surface variability and training variety to enhance tons of workouts. Hip thrusts are among the most popular strength movements today for women and men alike, and the BASE solves the major challenges of setup for this movement with simplicity and safety.”

The platform’s design complements functional training areas without the need for additional bulky or metal-based benches. The Aktiv BASE can also be incorporated into larger training setups within Olympic racks and Smith Machines for new training variations.

Akitv Solutions specializes in movement-based modalities and innovative gym layouts. The Aktiv BASE joins other products, such as the SMITH 3D Trainer™ and the FORMA™ line. Aktiv continues to align with growing consumer interest in strength and functional training, emphasizing movement with load.
