Perfect for aerobic and strength training, the Escape Fitness Deck 2.0 delivers superb versatility for step circuits and bootcamp-style workouts. In this guide we’re looking at how to use the Deck 2.0 and why it’s a great choice for your gym. Offering 16 configurations across step, ramp and bench modes, it’s the perfect tool for whole body workouts, and a dynamic choice for group training programmes. Offering more versatility for cardio and strength workouts than the original Deck, it’s certainly a step up for your fitness studio.

How to use the Deck 2.0

This static board is designed to be placed on the floor (preferably on a non-slip surface), and is height adjustable. Each end can be adjusted separately to create a sturdy slanting platform. Offering a multitude of exercises to get your heart pumping, you can switch from stepping to sit-ups in seconds. The board even transforms into a reclined backrest so you can perform your regular weight-lifting exercises in comfort.

It’s essentially an aerobic step bench and incline stretch bench all in one board. Super versatile, easy to set-up and comfortable, the Deck 2.0 is a great addition to your home or commercial gym. Suitable for individual and group workouts.

What’s it good for?

From simple stepping exercises to more ambitious leaps and jumps, the Deck 2.0 is a great aid to boost your daily step count and work your leg muscles. With the incline strength bench, your arm and core muscles can also get a decent workout. From weight lifting with dumbbells and barbells, to incorporating some resistance training with a cable row, the board is designed to handle a wide range of strength training exercises.

You have the freedom to come up with your own workout session, or get inspiration from Escape’s social channels. If you’re a personal trainer or offer group fitness training sessions, you can utilise Escape’s HIIT THE DECK group training programme. This includes workout videos and templates, trainer education materials, and even the music you need for large group choreographed sessions.

What’s special about the design?

The Deck 2.0 essentially has three modes:

Step mode has low (20.5cm) and high (35.5cm) settings. As an aerobic step bench, you can work on your speed and accuracy. The varying heights available are designed to minimise joint impact and are a good starting point for beginners.

Ramp mode adds more step challenges to the mix, including sit-ups.

Bench mode means you can incorporate lifting and resistance training into your workouts. The strong steel tubing supports the backrest.

Engineered with anatomic hotspots and resistance tube channels, this is the ultimate board to enhance your stepping and weight training.

The board also comes with a hidden storage compartment - perfect for storing your dumbbells.
