Strength training equipment for active ageing, rehabilitation and inclusive exercise, designed around the needs and abilities of every user
Why HUR
HUR New Zealand is the authorised distributor for HUR, the Finnish company behind pneumatic strength equipment and HUR SmartTouch. We help New Zealand facilities choose and plan HUR equipment for active ageing, rehabilitation and inclusive exercise.
HUR equipment brings together Natural Transmission™, Intelligent Exercise Technology and State-of-the-Art Equipment. Low starting loads mean resistance can be set to each person.
Natural Transmission™
HUR strength machines use air pressure rather than a stack of weights. Natural Transmission™ combines this resistance with a lever system designed around muscle movement. Low starting loads and small resistance changes help staff set a suitable starting point and progression for each person.
How Natural Transmission works
HUR SmartTouch™
HUR SmartTouch™ links individual exercise programmes with compatible equipment. A card or wristband identifies the user and loads their programme. Session records help staff review exercise and plan the next step. Automatic adjustments depend on the machine and its configuration.

The trial reported fewer falls in the intervention group. It evaluated a supported programme, not the independent effect of buying an exercise machine.
