3 Medical Itensic Training Strength Equipment
This set of three Itensic stations from the German rehabilitation manufacturer Proxomed offers effective training of the deep core muscles (abdomen (including sides) and lower back) in a small space. The training devices are made in Germany, are medical devices according to 93/42/EEC Class I ( MPG and MDD Medical Devices Act ), and bear the CE mark. The devices offer a wide range of adjustment options to individually adapt them to the needs of each client. The excellent biomechanics are supported by continuously variable adjustments, some even supported by gas pressure springs.
On all three machines in the itensic family, the spine is fixed during training . The spine thus becomes the "punctum fixedum," while the pelvis becomes the "punctum mobile" – which is exactly the opposite with conventional training machines. The machines thus ensure that the deep muscles of the lumbar spine are stimulated effectively and without risk of injury . The kinetic energy reaches precisely the points where it is intended to exert its effect – unhindered by compensatory countermovements.
The individual effects of each piece of equipment interact seamlessly. The individually adjustable steepness of the training angle determines the intensity of the resistance against which the body must work. The intensity can be further increased with additional weights (weight plates). A very important safety aspect of all itensic equipment is that the locking mechanism of the movable seat cushions can only be released once the body is already under slight tension. This consistently prevents any compression of the spine. A video explaining this can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnXeu4lzbXY
The following 3 training devices are included in the set:
1x Itensic f-effect
1x Itensic s-effect
1x Itensic b-effect
All machines can be equipped with up to 50 kg weight plates per machine to increase training resistance. We are happy to offer you suitable additional weights in the form of weight plates.
Suitable cardio equipment, additional strength training equipment (also with MPG approval if desired), and suitable benches, racks, dumbbells, weights, etc. are available upon request. We would be happy to put together a complete fitness studio/therapy facility/physiotherapy practice for you.
Frame color: anthracite
Upholstery: Red
All upholstery can be reupholstered in your desired color at low cost by a German master craftsman if desired.
Condition: Used - All devices were manufactured in November 2016, were then displayed in the showroom for a year, and were delivered in November 2017. Since then, they have been used very little, making them in top condition! Additionally, all devices are visually and technically inspected and serviced again.
We're also happy to handle logistics/shipping to your curbside or to your installation site for an additional charge. Contact us for a quote.
Changes are possible, please let us know your wishes.

Description from the manufacturer:
Medically based training of the deep core muscles
The itensic principle for improved body stability is based on a simple idea: While training on conventional exercise equipment stimulates large and superficial muscles with rotatory (twisting) movements, the itensic equipment uses translational (straight-line) movements over short distances to stimulate the muscles.
These straight movements specifically train the short, deep muscle fibers located close to the pivot points of the joints. The result is an intensive stimulation of the muscles that provide stability in the core of the body.
Your own body weight serves as the training weight. The linear, forced movement of the training movements ensures that only the intended muscle groups are specifically targeted. Since other muscle groups don't have to compensate, the entire muscle work must be performed by the muscles to be strengthened.
By guiding the movements, the lumbar spine is almost completely stabilized, making training possible without the risk of injury.
Effect Trio
The three itensic devices enable targeted training of the deep muscles in the lumbar spine area.
The difference lies in the sitting position in relation to the possible guided movements and thus in the effect on different muscle groups.
The equipment can be adjusted from light to heavy loads depending on the user’s training level.
To increase the training load, additional weights of up to 50 kg can be added.
Itensic f-effect ("Front") stimulates the lower abdominal muscles, the external oblique and internal oblique. Unlike other machines, the hip flexors cannot engage in compensatory activity.
- Class I medical device
- 7-way angle adjustment of the seat position to adapt to the difficulty level of the training
- Height adjustment of the backrest and legrest to adapt to body dimensions
itensic s-effect ("Side") focuses on the transversus abdominis (transverse abdominal muscle). Unlike other machines, the hip abductors cannot perform compensatory work.
- Class I medical device
- 5-way angle adjustment of the seat position to adapt to the difficulty level of the training
- Height adjustment of the side body support to adapt to body dimensions
Itensic b-effect ("Back") trains the deep back muscles, especially the multifidus muscle. Unlike with other machines, the hip extensors cannot compensate for the strain.
- Class I medical device
- 7-way angle adjustment of the seat position to adapt to the difficulty level of the training
- Height adjustment of the chest and back support to adapt to body dimensions
