New Product: The East Hampton Functional Trainer by Hudson Steel

The Ultimate Space-Saving Powerhouse

Hey guys! Eric from Bandit Fitness here, and today we are celebrating one of the most exciting pieces of equipment in our lineup: the East Hampton Functional Trainer by Hudson Steel. This compact machine is a genuine crowd-pleaser on our showroom floor, and for good reason—it’s the perfect blend of high-quality construction and incredible versatility, ideal for any home or small commercial gym setup.

Premium Design, Minimum Footprint

The East Hampton immediately impresses with its look and construction. It’s built with robust 11-gauge steel, featuring flawless, professional welds and a sleek matte black finish that makes the hardware accents truly shine. Even the instructional diagrams thoughtfully placed on the back show Hudson Steel’s commitment to detail.

The real game-changer here is the size. You only need a remarkable 3ft x 4ft space to set up this entire fitness station. This machine completely removes the barrier of limited space, allowing you to easily integrate it into a corner of your office, bedroom, or existing garage gym.

Adding to its smart design is the custom-built, six-position bench. This bench is specifically designed to fit entirely within the trainer’s frame, allowing you to work off the front with ease. When it's time for standing exercises, simply lift the handle and roll the bench away, freeing up the interior space instantly. This efficient use of space is a huge benefit for anyone seeking high-quality equipment without the bulk.

Six Pulleys for Comprehensive Training

The secret to the East Hampton's versatility lies in its six pulley points, strategically placed at high, middle, and low levels:

• High Pulleys: These are fantastic for isolateral lat pulls, allowing for individual muscle contraction and excellent range of motion. They are also perfect for tricep extensions and core movements like ab crunches or pullovers. You can connect both cables with an attachment for heavier lat pull downs.
• Middle Pulleys (Articulating Arms): These arms pivot fully inward and outward, giving you maximum flexibility. Use them for classic movements like seated or standing chest flies and presses, or angle them for incline work. Swung inside, they enable excellent close-grip rows. They are also phenomenal for functional core training, especially rotational movements using the included Sport Stick.
• Low Pulleys: Fully rotating for smooth action, these are vital for lower body exercises. You can perform deadlifts and squats, and with the ankle strap attachment, target the hips with abduction, adduction, and glute kickbacks. They are also great for seated shoulder presses when the bench is in position.

Plus, the foot pads integrated into the bench provide the perfect bracing point, giving you that secure, commercial-gym stability for all your rowing movements.

The East Hampton features a weight stack that ranges from 10 to 200 lbs per side. The initial effective resistance ratio is 4:1, meaning the 200 lbs provides a smooth 50 lbs of resistance per hand. This is ample for most standard strength training.

For users needing more resistance, the machine features a clever solution: the connection plate. By attaching both cables to this plate, you change the ratio to 2:1, immediately doubling your resistance to 100 lbs per pull.

The trainer comes complete with a wide array of accessories, all with dedicated onboard storage:

• Extension Chains
• Connection Plate
• Double Swivel Bar (for a barbell feel)
• Sport Stick (for functional core work)
• Tricep Rope
• Ankle Strap

Who is the East Hampton for? It truly serves everyone—from those looking to improve their functional fitness for daily life, to individuals living in smaller spaces, to dedicated enthusiasts who prioritize efficient, high-quality training. If you're serious about your fitness goals but restricted by space, the East Hampton Functional Trainer is an exceptional investment.
