Toorx Professional AVANT FWX-7800 Seated Calf at a glance

• Targeted seated calf training: the single pushing movement with lever provides isolated training of the calf muscles.
• Plate loaded: you load the machine with weight plates that you buy separately, so you decide how heavy you train.
• Maximum load of 200 kg: plenty of headroom to make your calf training progressively heavier.
• Comfortable pads: high-density foam pads with PU upholstery for comfort while training.
• Compact footprint: with a floor area of 123 x 72 cm, the machine also fits in a smaller space.

Training your calves while seated

In a seated calf raise you sit with your knees bent and push the weight up from the balls of your feet. Because you are seated, other muscle groups are largely kept out of play and your calves do the work. The lever system follows a fixed path and runs on Power Grade bearings, so every rep is smooth and precise. This makes your calves a full part of your leg workout.

Plate loaded with weight plates

This is a plate loaded machine: you load the lever with weight plates that you buy separately. That means you decide how heavy you train and build up the weight at your own pace. The lever has a starting weight of 5 kg, so you can also start light, and the structure can handle a maximum load of 200 kg. The maximum user weight is 150 kg.

Construction and space required

The heavy steel frame is made of rectangular tubes with a 3 mm wall thickness. The double powder coating is scratch-resistant, and the machine meets EN20957-1 and EN957-2 class S. Set up, the FWX-7800 measures 123 x 72 x 95 cm (L x W x H). That is compact for a calf machine, although the heavy steel frame does need a fixed spot.

Good to know

The FWX-7800 focuses on the calves only. It is therefore mainly of interest as an addition to an existing home gym or training space, not as your only strength machine. Weight plates are not included, so factor them in if you do not own any yet.
