Torque Fitness has a new push sled capable of taking fitness consumers to new places, moving in newer directions
Torque Fitness, the functional and strength training equipment provider, has the fitness industry pushing forward in more ways than one. The Minnesota-based brand recently announced the launch of its TANK M3, a new rendition of its renowned all-surface resistance sled.
The M3 differs from its ancestors with added maneuverability and progress-measuring capabilities. All the while, it maintains a magnetic resistance foundation, which makes the equipment applicable to any gym floor, as opposed to the more common friction-based sleds which can damage facility surfaces.
“As functional fitness and resistance training continues to grow, the demand for versatile and efficient equipment has become more apparent,” said Jerry Dettinger, CEO of Torque Fitness. “The TANK M3 not only meets these needs but exceeds them, providing a solution that enhances the experience for both gym owners looking to optimize space and individuals aiming to maximize their workouts.”
You Can Go Your Own Way
Moving in a straight line is fun for only so long. So, after some encouragement from one of the NFL strength and conditioning coaches the brand works with and some extensive trial-and-error periods, Torque successfully installed a swivel system within the M3 to make lefts, rights and even full figure eights a possibility when pushing or pulling.
“With our focus on functional training, it was critical for us to design a TANK that could move in all the directions we move as humans,” said Dettinger. “We knew that maneuverability was a major pain point with previous models, especially in commercial spaces where users need equipment that’s flexible and easy to move.”
This upgrade makes the M3 impactful both in and outside of use. The equipment’s mobility makes gym floor rearrangement and eventual storage a significantly lower lift, both in a literal and figurative sense. This allows operators to further maximize their floors and fitness consumers to enjoy a more open gym or studio environment.
“Space is always top of mind for us, and the TANK M3 allows for incredible flexibility within the gym,” said Dettinger. “Operators can move it anywhere in the facility, making it adaptable to various spaces.”
The equipment’s ability to adjust weight levels with the flip of a lever rather than loading plates adds to its versatility and consequential efficiency as well.
“This means no downtime between sets and a smooth transition for the next user,” said Dettinger. “For operators, it allows quicker workouts and better space optimization, especially during peak hours. For users, it’s an immediate win — no fussing with weight plates, just a seamless adjustment that lets you focus on the workout itself. It’s all about getting more out of every minute, which is key in today’s fast-paced world.”
Simple and Smart
The M3’s straightforwardness shouldn’t be confused with unsophistication. The sled is as cutting edge as any piece of connected fitness equipment on the market, coming equipped with an integrated data readout screen that helps trainers track resistance levels, speed and progress.
“We understand that in today’s fitness world, tracking progress is key – whether you’re training for performance, health, or just personal improvement,” said Dettinger. “By including the screen, we’re helping users and trainers keep real-time records, making it easier to adjust workouts on the fly.”
“Our goal was to make the TANK M3 intuitive, easy to use, and effective, and the screen is a big part of that,” he added. “It’s a simple way to elevate the experience without complicating it.”
Resistance is the Way Forward
By making the sled that’s more adaptable, effective and smart, Torque is also opening up fitness consumers up to what it believes is a more elevated brand of exercise.
“We’ve always believed that there’s something inherently superior about running on the ground versus using a treadmill, and the same philosophy applies to functional resistance training,” Dettinger said. “Resistance training helps improve functional strength, joint health and metabolism, and it’s something that works for everyone, from beginners to elite athletes.”
It hasn’t taken Torque’s clients long to come to these realizations either. While the M3 remains in its early rollout stages, the brand already reports both operators and users have shared “extremely positive” feedback.
“We’ve heard from several gym owners who’ve shared how much it’s helped streamline operations and improve client satisfaction,” said Dettinger. “One thing that stands out is how quickly the TANK M3 has become a favorite in their facilities, with members incorporating it into their workouts seamlessly. We’re excited to see the product continue to perform well as it rolls out more broadly.”
