The honest verdict
Where each one wins.
What the Original Folding has that we don't
- A try-before-you-buy rental program
What stays with you
5 yrs vs 2
structural warranty, ours against theirs, both published
- A sixth spring for finer resistance steps

- Six vertical footbar positions to their five
- Hand-picked Premium Microfibre Leather
- A 5-year structural warranty to their 2
The Original Folding is a well-regarded machine, and like ours it folds in half for a tight space. If a rental trial decides it, they serve that well. If spring feel, load rating and length of cover decide it, the difference is published above. Measure your space first, then call us and we will tell you which way to go.

THE EVOLUTION
What Changed in the V3
Owners told us what to change. These are the changes.
Contoured Shoulder Pads & EVA Foam
Shoulder Pads That Hold Position
The shoulder pads curve to sit against your shoulders, so your body stays where you put it.
Inside the pad, a high-density EVA commercial-grade sponge core: the same foam specification used in professional clinical and studio equipment. It holds its shape and its density under daily load, well past the first year.
Innovating with Full Coverage Carriage Upholstery
End-to-End Upholstery
The carriage is covered end to end in hand-picked Premium Microfibre Leather.
Reinforced with structural stitching at every seam. Every edge is wrapped and every seam is stitched, end to end. The surface is consistent under your hands, your back, and your legs, in the same session.
6 Springs, Double Rows & German Piano Wire
Finer Resistance Steps
Six springs, each drawn from German Piano Wire.
The same wire specification used in professional-grade pianos and industrial tensioning applications. It holds consistent tension under repeated load cycles and does not fatigue the way standard spring steel does over time.
The double-row configuration means you are working with a resistance profile that mirrors a commercial studio machine.
