Hoist Fitness

Hoist Fitness has been engineering strength training equipment out of San Diego, California since 1977, making it one of the few major fitness brands that still designs and manufactures its products domestically. Nearly five decades of R&D have gone into Hoist's lineup of selectorized machines, plate-loaded strength equipment, functional trainers, cable systems, and multi-gyms, all built for the demands of serious training environments. Hoist equipment shows up everywhere from professional sports facilities, universities, and YMCAs to military installations and boutique studios, and its Mi Series functional trainers and MotionCage rig systems have become known for smart engineering — dual weight stacks, 360-degree rotating columns, and precise cable alignment. The brand's home gym line has also picked up recognition, including Men's Health Home Gym Awards and multiple Good Design awards.
