Hitting, lifting, throwing, kicking, twisting, jumping,
bending, reaching, pulling...it could be happening on an athletic
field or in the laundry room with a
basketful of shirts and socks. Life IS movement, whether it’s
in sports, work, or the normal chores of the average day. And
if you think about it,
almost all physical activity originates with the “core” or
muscles of the midsection. These are the muscle groups that
provide the strength, stability, and velocity to the arms and
legs. Therefore, “functional training” goes hand-in-hand
with “core training.”
Be Your Best
We at Vectra feel confident that we have developed the machine
that will best help you reach your desired level of fitness.
Vectra quality Vectra craftsmanship, Vectra beauty, Vectra
superiority in engineering...all have gone into the VFT-100.
As in our broad
line of weight machines, everything fits, works smoothly, and
is biomechanically correct...to help you reach your goals.
“V” for Versatility
The true measure of a functional trainer is versatility, and
versatility can be measured in...how many exercises can be
performed, how many cable angles can be created, how many
possible pulley positions there are and how much cable travel
is available. More pulley positions means you’ll be able
to select the precise angle required for your exercise, whether
you are training for a specific sport or task or simply focusing
your efforts towards maximum conditioning of your core muscle
groups.This remarkable training device has a combination of
pulleys matched by no other.
The wide pulleys adjust from
just off the floor to about six feet high, with 23 possible
positions (see adjacent diagram). The pulleys themselves
are counter-balanced and swivel, ever-so-smoothly, a full
540 degrees, perfect for sports specific training. This swiveling
is vastly superior to the common “V-groove” pulleys
found on lesser machines.
The swiveling dual high pulleys are as close together as possible,
allowing for a larger range of motion. These pulleys can be
set at from 6’6” high to 6’11” high
at the time of installation. This allows the machine to be
customized to fit the room and/or primary users. The low central
pulley is perfectly positioned for seated
low rows, back extensions, abdominal reverse curls, etc., and
with the bench is ideal for leg extensions and curls.
In addition, the VFT-100 was designed to be used with the bench,
a fitness ball, as well as by itself. Almost any
bench exercise can be performed on a ball.
To guide you through the multitude of exercise possibilities
available on the VFT-100, every machine comes with TWO large
detailed exercise posters. The first poster emphasizes the
more traditional exercises and introduces unstable environment
(fitness ball) options for many of them. The second poster
deals with Advanced Functional Training and Sports Related
Training and emphasizes multi-plane resistance training.

Thoughtfully Designed
The VFT-100 not only occupies a small amount of space, but
all adjustments, including changing the weight, are in front,
so you can put it close to a wall. And changing attachments
is extremely quick and easy — no time wasted between
exercises, thanks to intelligently designed connectors.
From a 15 degree decline to a shoulder press position, the
VFT bench features 7 different training angles. Sturdy wheels
make positioning easy and automatic locking mechanism keeps
the bench securely in place. Since this bench doubles as the
perfect place for dumbell work, optional 5 and 8 pair dumbell
racks are available to store your dumbells within easy reach.
