Designed for movement. Tested to withstand.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In high-intensity disciplines such as barre fitness, the barre becomes a central element of the workout. More than just a point of support, it is used throughout exercises that work on balance and strength. Having stable, durable supports is essential for training with complete confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Dinamica Ballet, we have developed two floor supports for spaces that demand maximum control during intensive sessions, with high loads and rapid shifts in weight: Pina-Fix Fitness<\/a><\/strong>, for two wooden beams, and Avant-Fix Fitness<\/a><\/strong>, for a single beam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The geometry of both products \u2014 featuring a wide base with six anchoring points<\/strong>, a double-column structure with a diagonal brace,<\/strong> and a plate that securely holds the barre without damaging the wood \u2014 helps optimize load distribution during exercise and control lateral movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the Fitness Collection<\/strong><\/a> development process, we subjected our prototypes to a series of load tests, analysing their behaviour under different types of stress to create solid, reliable supports without compromising on a contemporary aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demands of training, tested in the lab<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To put our products to the test, we worked with the AIDIMME Technological Institute<\/a><\/strong>, which has specialised laboratories for material strength testing. The tests were carried out using sets of two supports positioned 180 centimetres apart and connected by two-metre wooden barres. We tested both floor-support models in the collection and used several samples to obtain an objective reference of their load capacity.

Vertical load test<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In this test, force is applied downwards<\/strong> to the centre of the barre. This is the type of load generated in exercises such as pli\u00e9s<\/em>, squats<\/em>, lunges<\/em> and leg-strength exercises, where the barre is used as a point of support.

Horizontal load test<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In this case, force is applied laterally<\/strong> to the barre. This type of stress occurs during balance exercises, arabesques<\/em> and inclined positions, where the barre acts as a support and the body generates lateral force, either pushing or pulling against it.

Proven resistance: 320 kg vertically and 270 kg horizontally<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The test results demonstrate the high load capacity of the Fitness Collection floor supports for intensive training environments. The unit of force used in the tests is the kilonewton (kN), with 1 kN equivalent to 101.94 kilograms-force (kgf)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
