At Al Fong’s gym in Missouri, I was wowed by his self-designed Bar trench pit. It works great. And can be quickly reconfigured into dozens of different set-ups.
Here’s my new prototype spotting box, inspired by those at GAGE.
Used for many different things in the gym, it’s made from lightweight Styrofoam topped with a layer of (old) closed-cell mat.
The custom vinyl cover has a Velcro closure on one end and 4 handles. It can easily be moved by 2 kids.
Coaches at A-Mazing Adventures, Regina, like the concept. I’m now pricing 6 more that could be put together as a channel pit.
The most expensive part is the cover, $159 from Triad.
Have you ever built anything similar? If so, leave a comment. There are a few more photos of the construction here.
