Horizon Fitness Weight training machine Taurus 3

Strength Station Horizon Fitness Taurus 3 - Your complete gym, in a manageable footprint. 6 stations. Over 30 exercises. One single device. Full body. The Strength Station Horizon Fitness Taurus 3 is the flagship of the Horizon range for users wanting a complete, sturdy and instantly operable home gym. With its 6 integrated training units, 6mm nylon cables, ball-bearing pulleys, and independently adjustable Free Motion arms, it offers over 30 exercises covering all muscle groups - from the upper body to the legs - in a compact design, tailored to fit seamlessly into a home environment. The Taurus series: functionality, ergonomics, and manufacturing quality. The Taurus series from Horizon Fitness was designed around a demanding philosophy: to provide semi-professional level functionality and ergonomics in a format suitable for home use. Every station, every adjustment, every accessory is designed to allow natural, controlled, and efficient movements - without restricting gestures or imposing unnatural positions. The Taurus 3 is the most accessible expression of this: comprehensive in its essential features, compact in its footprint, and robust in its steel construction - for years of uncompromising training. 6 integrated training stations: full body, in a single device Station 1 - Latissimus pull (high pulley) The inclined pull bar covered in foam, connected to the high pulley, allows for all fundamental vertical pulling movements. By varying the width and grip direction, you target different parts of the lats, shoulders, and biceps: Wide grip lat pull to the chest: develops the lats in width Wide grip neck pull: works the upper lats and rhomboids Narrow reverse grip pull: increases engagement of the biceps and lower lats Tricep extensions with rope or bar (using the high pulley) Station 2 - Abdominal pulley The dedicated abdominal pulley station allows for guided crunches with shoulder straps, offering intense and targeted work on the abdominal muscles without the postural constraints of floor crunches. The progressive resistance of the weight block allows you to increase the load as you progress. Station 3 - Multi press (Chest Press / Rowing / Shoulder Press) The multi-grip press arm is the central station of the Taurus 3. Its multiple grip positions and adjustable backrest and seat allow for a wide range of fundamental exercises from a single station: Flat and inclined chest press (standard and wide grip) Seated rowing (by reversing the body position) Seated military press (guided) Bent-over rowing with an inclined torso Guided neck pull Station 4 - Free Motion Arms (adjustable lateral cable) The Free Motion radial arms are the flagship innovation of the Taurus series. Unlike traditional guided motion stations where the trajectory is mechanically fixed, the Free Motion arms are freely adjustable in angle and work completely independently from each other. This design has two major advantages: First, freedom of movement: without an imposed trajectory, each exercise takes place within the natural range of motion specific to your morphology, engaging stabiliser muscles and mimicking functional gestures close to those of free weights. Second, balanced bilateral work: with the arms functioning independently, the dominant side does not compensate for the weaker side - both arms work equally in each repetition, for symmetrical muscle development. Exercises possible: chest fly (cable fly), converging press (incline cable press), butterfly, converging shoulder press, reverse fly (posterior deltoids), seated bicep curl, tricep kickback, sports-specific functional exercises. Station 5 - Leg extension / leg curl The leg extension/curl station allows for direct and isolated work on the lower body: Seated leg extension: directly targets the quadriceps Standing leg curl: works the hamstrings and calves These two fundamental exercises, often absent from entry-level home gyms, make the Taurus 3 a truly comprehensive station, capable of addressing both the upper and lower body. Station 6 - Low pulley (low pull) The lower cable offers remarkable versatility from a single anchor point at the base of the machine. By varying the accessory used and body position, you can perform: Seated rowing with foot support (curved bar or straps) Standing pull for shoulders (upright row) Standing bicep curl (direct and reverse grip) Lateral shoulder pulls (cable lateral raises) Front raise Exercises for adduction/abduction with ankle strap An 80 kg weight block, adjustable in 5 kg increments The weight block of the Taurus 3 is 80 kg, selectable in 5 kg increments using a selection pin. This weight range covers all the needs of a home user - from a beginner starting at 5 or 10 kg to an experienced user approaching maximum weights on compound exercises. The pulley ratio of the Taurus 3 modulates the perceived resistance according to the stations: on certain posts, the effective load during movement is higher or lower than the selected weight block, depending on the angle and the transmission system. This balance allows the effort to be adapted to the biomechanics of each exercise for consistent and protective resistance. Heavy-gauge steel construction: strength and longevity The frame of the Taurus 3 is constructed from heavy-gauge steel tubes measuring 80 x 40 mm, treated with a matte black powder coating for maximum corrosion resistance. This robust construction - inspired by semi-commercial standards - guarantees impeccable stability during the most intense exercises, with no vibration or flex in the structure, even when fully loaded. The 6mm pull cables, coated in nylon, offer significantly superior durability compared to standard 4 to 5mm cables. The nylon coating improves gliding on the pulleys, reduces pulling noise, and significantly extends cable lifespan. The ball-bearing pulleys ensure a smooth and progressive movement start, without an initial load spike - a valuable advantage for tendon and joint protection during heavy exercises. Multiple adjustments for shared use The seat and backrest of the Taurus 3 are adjustable in several positions to accommodate all body types and exercises: Seat: 4 height adjustment positions Backrest: 8 incline adjustment positions These adjustments allow for optimizing posture at each station and for sharing the machine among several users with different builds, each able to quickly find their personal configuration.
