TuffStuff
Functional trainers, Smith machines, plate-loaded strength and multi-station gym systems — built around getting a complete strength offering into a room that does not have space for a full circuit.
TuffStuff is a long-running American strength brand, relaunched under BodyKore. We are a dealer for the line and it fills a specific need: rooms where the owner wants real strength training but does not have the square footage, the budget, or the supervision for a floor full of single-purpose machines.
This is the line we reach for in apartment and HOA amenity centers, personal training studios, chiropractic and PT clinics, corporate fitness rooms, fire and police stations, and hotels — anywhere one or two well-chosen pieces have to cover what a commercial gym does with fifteen.

Apollo multi-station systems
The Apollo systems put two to four training stations on one frame with shared weight stacks. For a room that has to serve a whole building, this is usually the most training per square foot you can buy — several people work at once, on separate stations, without a single loose plate in the room.
Footprint — AP-7300 and its configurations
This is the question that decides the job, so here are the real numbers. All three configurations stand 84 in (213 cm) tall. Add walking clearance around the footprint — we plan on roughly three feet on any side a person approaches from.
| Configuration | Stations | Footprint | Height | Approx. area |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AP-7300 | AP-71HL · AP-71MP · AP-71LE | 96 × 87 in 244 × 221 cm | 84 in / 213 cm | ~58 sq ft |
| Option B | AP-71HL · AP-71MP · AP-71LP | 95 × 91 in 241 × 231 cm | 84 in / 213 cm | ~60 sq ft |
| Option C | AP-71LP · AP-71MP · AP-71LE | 113 × 92 in 287 × 234 cm | 84 in / 213 cm | ~72 sq ft |
Ceiling height is the one that catches people out. At 84 inches the frame itself fits a standard 8-foot ceiling, but a user standing on the platform or pulling overhead needs more than the frame does. We measure the ceiling on every site survey, not just the floor.
The three lines
Which one fits depends on how many people use the room at once, and whether anyone is supervising. We will walk your space and tell you which — including when the answer is none of them.
| Line | What it is | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Apollo | Multi-station gym systems, two to four stations on one frame. | Amenity centers and corporate rooms where several people train at once and nobody is spotting. |
| Evolution | Functional trainers with dual weight stacks and adjustable pulleys. | Studios, clinics and small rooms — the widest range of movement per square foot of anything we carry. |
| Evolution Strength | Plate-loaded machines, Smith machines, benches and accessories. | Light commercial floors, training studios, and rooms where members want to load real plates. |
Why a functional trainer instead of a circuit
A row of selectorized machines does one movement each and needs roughly forty square feet apiece. A dual-stack functional trainer does dozens of movements in a fraction of that, and two people can use it at the same time from opposite sides.
For a 400 to 800 square foot amenity room, that difference is the whole plan — it decides whether the room feels like a real gym or like a hallway with equipment in it. It is also the safer answer in an unsupervised space: cable resistance has no bar to drop and no plate to fall.
The trade-off is honest — a serious lifter still wants a rack and a bar, and there are rooms where a circuit really is the right call. We will tell you which one yours is.
