Machine Attachments

Machine Attachments

Machine attachments turn a standard cable, functional trainer, or selectorized machine into a far more versatile training station. At Hampton Fitness, our machine attachments are engineered for precision, durability, and ergonomic comfort — designed to handle high-volume use in commercial or training environments. Whether you’re pressing, pulling, isolating, or doing accessory work, the right attachment makes a big difference in control, resistance, and user experience.

Types of Machine Attachments

Attachment Bars

Expand your range, maintain control.

Hampton’s bars for cable/machine use are built with commercial-grade materials and finishes — many come with urethane or polished finishes, ergonomically designed grips, and smooth rotation to reduce strain on wrists or elbows. They allow lifters to perform rows, triceps push-downs, low-cable pulls, overhead presses, and more with controlled feedback and consistent resistance.

Best for: Gyms or studios needing versatile bars that adapt cables into multi-plane strength & conditioning tools.

Attachment Handles

Precision grip in every direction.

Handles (single-arm grips, multi-grip handles, rotating handles) let users target muscles from different angles or in isolation. Hampton handles are typically built with ergonomic urethane or similar coatings, non-porous surfaces for easy cleaning, and robust connection points for high tension loads. Swivel or rotating handles reduce joint stress in high-rep or heavy accessory work.

Best for: Isolation work, unilateral pulls or presses, or accessory/high-rep training where ergonomics matter.

Machine Attachments 

Convert machines into multi-functional stations.

Beyond simple bars or handles, Hampton offers specialty attachments (e.g. multi-grip lat bars, revolving chrome bars, ergonomic-handle bars) that allow you to transform cable machines into specialized strength or conditioning rigs. These attachments often use urethane coatings or high-quality finishes to resist wear, rust, or corrosion (helpful in humid or commercial environments).

Best for: Performance facilities, commercial training zones, or advanced training programs where versatility and durability are priorities.

Attachment Sets / Bundles

All-in accessory packages for complete setups.

Attachment sets bundle multiple bars, handles, and grips into one package so you can outfit cable machines or functional trainers in one go. Buying as a set ensures consistency in finish, connection compatibility, and ergonomics across all attachments. Hampton sets help simplify procurement, maintain consistent aesthetics, and offer performance across multiple users.

Best for: Gym installs, boutique studios, or gym owners who want to standardize attachments for multiple stations.

Finding the Best Attachment for You

When choosing machine attachments:

• Exercise use: Determine if you need pushing, pulling, unilateral or multi-grip range. 
• Resistance & attachment compatibility: Match the attachment’s connection hardware to your machine (carabiner, pin, loop, etc.). 
• Material & coating: Urethane or similar finishes provide weather resistance, rust protection, and easy maintenance. 
• Ergonomics: Choose attachments with comfortable shapes, swivel or rotating joints to reduce stress on joints in high-rep or heavy accessory work. 
• Set consistency: Bundles or sets keep multiple attachments uniform in finish, grip feel, and design across stations.
  

FAQs About Machine Attachments

What is the benefit of urethane over rubber or cast metal for attachments?
Urethane offers exceptional durability and all-weather resistance. It resists chipping, cracking, corrosion or wear, and its non-porous surface protects floors, equipment, and makes cleaning easier — great for commercial or multi-user environments.

How do I choose the right attachment for cable vs functional trainer?
Check the connection mechanism (ring, carabiner, pin loop), verify compatibility with your machine’s rail or pulley height, and choose attachments that accommodate the full range of motion your program requires.

Is it better to buy individual bars or full sets?
If you’re outfitting one or two stations, individual attachments might suffice. But for gyms or studios with multiple machines, sets offer cost savings, visual consistency, and easier management of attachments across all stations.

How should I maintain my machine attachments?
After use, wipe down grips or bar surfaces, especially in high-sweat environments. Inspect swivel joints or rotating eyelets regularly for wear or looseness and store attachments on racks or in designated areas to prevent mechanical damage.
