Push yourself to new limits with the HART Monster Tyre! Through demand from our fitness crowd we are excited to add this piece of equipment to solve the problems of using an old tyre for full body exercises.
Since tyres became the holy grail of crossfit training, the only way to perform full body exercises like tyre flips or farmers walk was to literally use an old oversized tyre. But let’s face it – these things are not easy to find and when you’ve got one, they wear out quickly from the conditions and use, leaving you needed to change technique to use. This, in addition with the mess they leave in your gym makes them a frustrating but necessary product.
Here at HART we work with all kinds of gyms – large and small, crossfit, boxing, strength studios as well as all kinds of coaches from PTs to heads of strength and performance in elite sporting teams. When working with PTs and crossfit trainers in particular this problem of using tyres of deteriorating quality arose – and so we began working on a solution!
Using our specialist capabilities in foam and manufacturing we sought to replicate the shape and density of an oversized tyre but with superior quality and performance. We began creating and working with samples in our manufacturing warehouse right here in Australia. Sizing and weight specs were the first step in the process before exploring and testing qualities of foam, weighting options and vinyl covering.
Once the sizing and shape was confirmed, we set about designing a durable cover that didn’t lose the tough look of the original tyre – soon the monster tyre was born! The 55kg foam weighted tyre solves the problems of old, and allows for more exercises and training options!
We were able to send the Monster Tyre out for testing in gym studios and by strength training specialists to see its performance in the gym and outdoors. Based on the feedback we were able to finalise handle placement and ideal exercise options for this innovative product. The Monster Tyre is a big hit for a wide variety of exercises including:
- Tyre Flips
- Tyre Drags
- Deadlifts
- Farmers Walk
- Box Jumps
- Incline/Decline Push Ups
The final outcome - a versatile piece of equipment ideal for workouts to challenge your power, strength, and conditioning. The 55kg Monster Tyre is proudly Australian Made with durable vinyl cover and the stitched handles allow for indoor or outdoor exercise without the hassle of traditional tyres.
