Commercial-Grade Equipment for Clinical Exercise Programs
A hospital wellness center, cardiac rehab gym, or senior living fitness room runs on a different clock than a typical commercial gym: longer daily hours, a wider range of user ability, and equipment that has to hold up under supervised clinical use rather than casual workouts. SportsArt has built its reputation on commercial-grade cardio and strength equipment engineered for exactly that kind of demanding, continuous-use environment, and MediDepot carries an extensive range of the brand’s treadmills, ellipticals, exercise bikes, and strength training lines for facilities that need equipment built to clinical standards, not consumer ones.
What sets this collection apart is the depth of both cardio and strength options under a single, trusted commercial brand. Rather than mixing equipment from multiple vendors, physical therapy and medical fitness programs can outfit an entire exercise room, from cardio machines to plate-loaded strength stations to free weight benches, with equipment built to the same commercial-duty standard throughout.
Who Programs and Facilities Choose SportsArt
SportsArt’s commercial fitness and strength equipment is built for clinical and medical fitness environments where equipment sees heavy, supervised daily use across a wide range of patient and member abilities. This collection is a fit for:
- Hospitals with wellness centers or cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs
- Physical therapy and outpatient rehabilitation clinics
- Senior living communities and continuing care facilities with fitness programming
- Medical fitness centers and corporate wellness programs
- University and college athletic training or exercise science programs
- Sports medicine practices building supervised strength and conditioning spaces
What’s Inside the SportsArt Lineup
MediDepot’s SportsArt collection spans cardio equipment, strength training lines, and the accessories that support them.
Cardio Equipment The collection includes SportsArt treadmills, ellipticals, exercise bikes, cross trainers, rowers, and upper body ergometers (UB-series), along with steppers. Cardio accessories include medical wired controllers for treadmill models, clip pedal sets and cycle seat adapters for exercise bikes, wheelchair safety straps and grip assist gloves for upper body ergometers, Polar heart rate chest straps, entertainment brackets, WiFi performance monitoring boards, and AnyCast screen mirroring systems for connecting smart devices to cardio consoles.
Free Weight Series Welded steel frame benches and racks including the Olympic incline bench, Olympic decline bench, Olympic flat bench, adjustable bench, crunch bench, preacher curl bench, a 45-degree back hyperextension, a VKR chin dip station rated to 500 lbs max user weight, a half cage and power cage rated to 550 lbs max exercise weight, a dumbbell rack rated to 2,860 lbs max weight storage, and an Olympic plate tree rated to 2,640 lbs max weight storage.
Plate Loaded Series Selectorized-alternative strength stations including chest press, wide chest press, incline chest press, shoulder press, lat pulldown, low row, mid row, angled leg press, leg extension, seated calf raise, arm extension, hack squat, glute trainer, Smith machine, and rear kick, with exercise weight ratings ranging from roughly 220 lbs up to 880 lbs depending on the station.
Dual Function Strength Series Space-efficient combination stations including a multi press, an assisted chin-up/tricep dip, a back extension/AB crunch combo, a bicep/tricep combo, a pec fly/rear deltoid combo, a lat pulldown/mid row/chest press combo, an abductor/adductor combo, and a leg press/calf extension combo with a 1:2 pulley ratio, each built around a 143 to 440 lb weight stack.
Building Out the Right Equipment Mix
Choosing the right SportsArt equipment depends on your program’s clinical focus, space, and the range of users you serve.
- Program focus. Cardiac and pulmonary rehab programs typically prioritize a strong cardio lineup (treadmills, upper body ergometers, recumbent options), while general strength and conditioning programs lean more heavily on the Plate Loaded and Dual Function Strength Series.
- Supervision and accessibility needs. Upper body ergometers with wheelchair safety straps and grip assist gloves support patients with limited mobility or lower-body limitations.
- Space constraints. The Dual Function Strength Series combines multiple exercises into a single station, which helps smaller rehab gyms or therapy rooms offer more exercise variety without a larger footprint.
- User population and weight ratings. Match plate loaded and free weight equipment’s max exercise weight and max user weight ratings to your patient or member population, particularly for stations like the VKR chin dip station or power cage.
- Connectivity needs. If your program tracks patient performance data, look at WiFi performance monitoring boards and compatible consoles across the cardio lineup.
- Replacement parts and accessories. Because SportsArt cardio machines use model-specific controllers, pedals, and power adaptors, confirm compatibility with your existing fleet before ordering replacement accessories.

Planning a Fitness Program Equipment Budget
Commercial fitness equipment is a significant capital investment that typically stays in service for years, so it benefits from the same planning rigor as other major clinical purchases.
- Match equipment mix to program goals rather than buying a generic assortment, so cardiac rehab programs get the cardio depth they need and strength-focused programs get the right plate loaded and free weight coverage.
- Plan for accessibility from the start, including wheelchair-accessible ergometers and adjustable accessories, rather than retrofitting accessibility features later.
- Budget for accessories and replacement parts, such as controllers, pedals, and power adaptors, as part of total cost of ownership rather than a one-time purchase.
- Consider space-efficient stations like the Dual Function Strength Series when square footage is limited, to maximize exercise variety without expanding your footprint.
- Coordinate multi-location orders for healthcare systems or fitness programs operating more than one facility, to keep equipment and service parts consistent across locations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Plate Loaded Series and the Dual Function Strength Series?
The Plate Loaded Series offers individual strength stations, such as a chest press or leg press, where resistance comes from user-loaded weight plates. The Dual Function Strength Series combines two or more exercises into a single station built around a fixed weight stack, which saves floor space at the cost of having two users share one station at a time.
Are SportsArt upper body ergometers suitable for wheelchair users?
The collection includes wheelchair safety straps and grip assist gloves specifically designed for the UB521 and UB521M upper body ergometers, supporting use by patients with limited mobility or lower-body limitations. Confirm specific accessibility features on the product page for your intended use case.
How much weight can the Free Weight Series storage racks hold?
The Olympic plate tree is rated for up to 2,640 lbs of max weight storage, and the dumbbell rack is rated for up to 2,860 lbs of max weight storage. Confirm exact ratings on the individual product page before ordering for a high-volume strength room.
Do SportsArt treadmill controllers and accessories fit any treadmill model?
No. Accessories such as medical wired controllers and power adaptors are listed for specific treadmill models (for example, controllers for the T635M and T655M, and power adaptors for the T615, T635, T645M, and T655M). Confirm your treadmill’s model number against the accessory’s listed compatibility before ordering.
What should I check before adding a Smith machine or power cage to a rehab gym?
Check the equipment’s max exercise weight rating against your patient population and confirm your available floor space, since Smith machines and power cages generally require more clearance than plate loaded stations. The Plate Loaded Smith Machine in this collection is rated to 440 lbs max exercise weight, while the Bench and Rack Series power cage is rated to 550 lbs.
Can I track patient performance data on SportsArt cardio equipment?
Select cardio machines in this collection support a WiFi performance monitoring board and compatible consoles, along with AnyCast screen mirroring for connecting smart devices. Confirm which cardio models in your fleet support these connectivity accessories before ordering.
