Durable Sleds for Strength Training by SMAI Australia

Strength training is essential for anyone trying to increase their athletic performance, muscular mass, or overall fitness. The sled is an adaptable item of equipment that has grown popular among strength and conditioning enthusiasts. At SMAI Australia, we provide a wide selection of solid sleds that target specific muscle regions and improve your training routine.

The Benefits of Sled Training

Sled training is a functional and effective way to build strength, power, and endurance. Unlike traditional strength training exercises like squats and deadlifts, sleds allow for movement-based workouts that target numerous muscle groups at the same time. A sled workout, whether you're pushing, pulling, or dragging, works the glutes, hamstrings, calves, and core, making it a terrific all-around workout.

A sled's resistance is unique in that it does not rely on gravity like free weights do. Instead, the resistance comes from friction between the sled and the surface it moves on, allowing you to change the difficulty by adjusting the load or surface. Sled training is also low impact, making it gentler on the joints while yet providing powerful workouts that can boost strength and cardiovascular fitness.

SMAI Sleds: A Wide Range of Options for Every Athlete

At SMAI Australia, we provide a wide assortment of sleds, each tailored to satisfy specific training requirements. Whether you want to develop strength, power, speed, or conditioning, we have a sled for you. Our sleds are built to last, able to resist the rigours of hard training sessions. With up to four anchor points, our sleds allow for a variety of exercise variants, making them an adaptable supplement to any training program.

The SMAI Compact Sled has a collapsible weight stacker that can support up to 250kg of weight via IWF-style 25kg plates. This allows even the most accomplished athletes to test themselves with high loads. The sled's curved sides allow for easy weight loading and unloading, making setup and teardown quick and simple.  Plus, the sled is suitable for use on all surfaces, including grass, turf, and gym floors, providing versatility for any training environment.
