Stray Dog Strength CDS Dumbbells - PRODUCT HISTORY / STORY / IDEA BEHIND PRODUCT
"Innovation thru solving customer's needs" Invented in 2003 by The Equipment GuysEthan Reeve Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Wake Forest University believes in dumbbell training. He was an early pioneer of the rack concept and wanted to train dumbbells at his racks. After looking at the dollar amount and floor space that it would take it was deemed not feasible.
Matt Purdy, Founder of The Equipment Guys, proposed a couple solutions. Why not have a few adjustable pairs so that you only have to change a few plates? More less like a barbell strength groups.
Boom a product idea was born. Necessity is the mother of invention. Prototype was produced and then 20 sets were installed at Wake Forest in summer of 2003 and have been in use ever since.
Installations at Auburn University, University of North Carolina, UCLA, Univ. of Memphis, Virginia Military Institute and many others followed.
Fostoria High School Weight Room Install
This weight room was 5 years in the making and Nick worked with us throughout the entire process. The installation was very quick and coordinated. The quality of the equipment and flooring is second to none. Not only does everything 'pop' visually, but everything is heavy duty and build to last. The room looks 100% different when compared to our old equipment, which is a great motivator for our kids. The 4 half racks provide eight stations for workouts, while the rest of the athletes can rotate through the glute/hams, reverse hypers, pull downs, etc, providing us with an efficient system to get as many kids working out at the same time as possible.
