Sorinex Originals
Since 1980, we have built our equipment to the standards that we hold true to ourselves. Built better because we have too. Built better because our community deserves it.
A simple look to ancient building techniques can and does give the answer of how to make things ‘simple but strong.’ Arches, triangles, truncated cones, pyramids, or flying buttress. Simple stuff proven for thousands of years. No slots or ‘cutting the corners’.
We are constantly creating and improving. With consistent yearly innovation, improved intelligent design, and increasing functionality we are the category leader in equipment design and modular adaptability. New equipment innovations are created with expansion in mind, not replacement. This allows existing or new coaches to remain dynamic through paradigm shifts. The equipment remains relevant regardless of new training styles and regulations.
INNOVATION
FIXED AND ADJUSTABLE JAMMER ARMS™
FIXED AND ADJUSTABLE JAMMER ARMS™
In the late 2000’s, Sorinex introduced the first ever rack attached Jammer Arms. An industry first and Sorinex Original. Many coaches wanted to utilize traditional jammer press movements but did not want to sacrifice floor space in their weight rooms. An innovative training solution was created with a low risk of injury, increased movement efficiency, and a lower cost of overall equipment investment. This integrated system gives you the ability to add band tension or load plates to press, pull or rotate the Jammer Arms bilaterally or unilaterally. The Adjustable Jammer Arm option includes a patent pending adjustable rack mounted attachment point that allows you to easily switch between upper and lower body specific movements. Maximize the carrying capacity and versatility of your space with the most training options per square foot.
JˣSQUAT™ BELT SQUAT
JˣSQUAT™ BELT SQUAT
Through our constant pursuit of maximum versality and the most training options per square feet, we created a solution to replace oversized belt squat machines. Knowing the current footprint wasn’t necessary we developed the first rack attached Jammer Arm belt squat. Integrated fully into the Sorinex Jammer Arm system, the JˣSquat requires no platform eliminating the need for a bulky piece of equipment taking up extra space. The JˣSquat features a patent pending kickstand design that automatically moves out of the way upon lift off and two 16” sleeves capable of holding up to eight olympic sized plates on each side.
XL SERIES™ RIG
XL SERIES™ RIG
The XL Series rig is an evolution of our original Base Fit Unlimited rig which was the GENESIS of the modern day “Rig” with modular and customizable pieces. All copies and other companies rigs are based off of this design. The Base Fit series became Base Fit XL (now XL Series) when we moved from 2” to 3” components. It was the first modular, easily shippable, designed rack that could be customized into fitting almost any room and application. This changed the game, linking lifting with gymnastics moves, PT, and accessories. It allowed large groups to more efficiently run barbell circuits, pull ups, etc. Start small in the garage and grow / reuse the same equipment into a larger business with no loss of hard resources. The Base Fit rig was first revealed at Sorinex HQ for Summerstrong 1 and at Crossfit Games 2 in Aromas, CA at Dave Castro’s family ranch.
LANDMINE™ RACK ATTACHMENT
LANDMINE™ RACK ATTACHMENT
Originally developed in 1999 to help co-owner, Bert Sorin, train for Hammer throwing in preparation for the 2000 Olympic Trials. The Sorinex Landmine created an integrated system for safer and more efficient barbell movement. Presses, rows, rotational movements and more. The Sorinex Landmine brings the barbell inside a fixed yet adjustable position allowing the athlete to perform sport specific movements. The Landmine was the first product to allow angular barbell movements. Attach your Sorinex Landmine to your Sorinex rack system of choice and control the risk in your training environment. Allow more athletes than ever to train at one station, increasing the carrying capacity of your facility.
SAFETY STRAPS
SAFETY STRAPS
The Safety Straps are another Sorinex Original and industry first. A deep understanding of load angles and force variation sparked this specific creation. The length of the straps creates slack at a very specific angle to absorb maximal load and force. Safer bench, squat, pulls and presses are must have for the modern day training environment. The Safety Straps are a part of an integrated safety system for a safer training environment and more efficient movement. Micro adjustments via 1” holes allow angled strap positioning to protect your neck while benching. Macro adjustments allow for all pulling and pressing to be performed inside the rack. Increase the longevity of your bars, minimize wear on the knurling and lower the risk in your training environment with our Safety Straps.
FRANKENHYPER™
FRANKENHYPER™
The Sorinex Original Frankenhyper was created in 2013 and combines the Glute Ham with a pendulum hip extension. Add plate storage, ball storage and a tab for handles that allow you to increase upper body work capacity. The Frankenhyper is a monster posterior chain training machine that only takes up a few square feet in your facility. The Frankenhyper has become a staple in strength and conditioning facilties across the country. Train the back, hamstrings, and glutes through contraction and decompression. Often imitated but never duplicated, the Sorinex Frankenhyper stands alone as the original.
UTILITY SEAT
UTILITY SEAT
An integrated system for safer and more efficient movement. Step-ups, box squats, hyperextensions, and more. The Sorinex Utility Seat keeps the athlete at the rack allowing them to perform repeatable and accurate movements utilizing all safety systems of the Basecamp, XL Series, and Dark Horse Racks. Attach your Utility Seat to Half / Full Spotter Bars and use Safety Straps to control the risk in your training environment. Allow more athletes than ever to train at one station, increasing the carrying capacity of your facility. Attach your Utility Seat to your Sorinex Jammer Arms for seated leg presses and more. The configurations and adjustments are endless. Integrated vertical rack storage conveniently stores your Utility Seat when not in use.
RACK MOUNTED LAT PULL /
LOW ROW AND CABLE COLUMN
RACK MOUNTED LAT PULL /
LOW ROW AND CABLE COLUMN
Built for Auburn football in 2013, the rack attached Lat Pull/Low Row and Functional Cable Column are Sorinex Originals. Super duty oversized components built with unbreakable 300 LB or 250 LB weight stacks allow these machines to accommodate larger athletes. Adjustable band attachment points add an additional resistance option and reduce momentum to the weight stack. Premium upholstery, 4-way hole uprights and custom logo options make these machines the most versatile units on the market.
