About HUR
 
HUR started out as a Research project at the University of Technology in Helsinki, Finland. By working with the top people in biomechanics and Exercise Physiology, HUR is continuously able to incorporate the latest findings into the products and software.
The mission of HUR is to manufacture the best equipment possible for Strength Training, for Rehabilitation and for Muscular Performance testing. Every HUR machine is designed by simulating human movement by computer. The biomechanics of every single machine has been carefully designed not only to provide an optimal load on the muscles but also to minimise damaging stress on joints and connective tissue. This is achieved by use of the unique Natural Transmission Resistance.

HUR Labs, is the Research entity which aims to push the frontiers in biomechanics and exercise physiology. Internally the Research focuses on measuring technology and to test various assumptions by performing pilot studies.

Wheelchair Easy Access

The HUR Easy Access Line is an equipment range designed to meet the needs of wheelchair users, those with other mobility and sensory impairments, and the non-disabled. There is no requirement to climb out of a wheelchair onto the machine for example, as Easy Access Line products do not have fixed seats – which provides all manner of other exercise opportunity to advanced users, for example, working from a fit-ball; and for some rehabilitative purposes.

Smart Card

HUR Smart Card equipment allows for an easy and individualised workout for all kinds of users. The heart of the machine is the Smart Card, whose data is used by the system to automate the entire training session. Just insert the card into the machine and the system will set the resistance automatically, provide guidance where necessary and record the performance from each session. The user also obtains feedback on the success of the workout, which further enhances the efficiency of training.
