Back in 2022 the Shogun team identified a gap in the fitness equipment market: there was no single product that could be used to train the entire posterior chain.
This is where the idea for the NORD-EX was born. Our goal was to create a revolutionary product that combined the features of a hyperextension machine and a Nordic bench, all while being compact enough to fit in most spaces.
We spent almost a year developing the product, going through multiple design iterations and prototypes to ensure that it would perform up to expectations. Unlike copycats, we invested a significant amount of time and resources in R&D, testing, and intellectual property protection to ensure that the NORD-EX is truly commercial grade and can withstand even the toughest workouts.
We take safety seriously, which is why we've submitted the product for third-party testing. The NORD-EX was tested to comply with ISO 20957-1:2013. This ISO standard specifies general safety requirements and test methods for stationary training equipment. These tests include max loading, safety and age testing.
We cut no corners or made any compromises in our material choices and manufacturing process. The NORD-EX is made of high-quality carbon steel, stainless steel, premium custom-molded foam, and commercial-grade powder coating, which ensures its long-term durability and performance.
MATERIAL DETAILS | |
Main Frame | 11-gauge (3 mm) thick Q235 carbon steel |
Foot Plate | 8-gauge (4 mm) thick threaded steel |
Side Plates | 4-gauge (5.5 - 6 mm) thick Q235 carbon steel |
Length Adjustment Tubes | 13-gauge (2.5 mm) 201 stainless steel |
Another important feature that sets the NORD-EX apart from its competitors is the premium textured foam pads, made from highly engineered, self-skinning polyurethane foam. This material was chosen to provide an exceptional surface texture that delivers a superior grip compared to standard vinyl and superior comfort even for heavier users. In addition to its grip, the foam pad is also easier to clean and less prone to wear and tear. With the NORD-EX, you can expect a comfortable and durable workout experience, thanks to the quality of our foam padding.
At SHOGUN, we believe that our product is truly unique, and we're proud of the innovation that went into creating the NORD-EX. It's a versatile and space-saving solution for anyone looking to train their posterior chain, whether they're working out at home or in a commercial gym.
The NORD-EX is fully adjustable allowing most users to perform Nordic curls, and back extensions. Moreover, our patent pending design allows users to truly train Nordic curls with measurable progression.
