FAQs

Each Focusmaster G-1000 order comes with the mainframe unit and the proper hardware to mount the machine to the wall and floor along with 3 targets; 1 Straight-On Target and 2 Leaf Spring Targets (The Floor Stand is a separate item). This is all that is needed for the Focusmaster Home Workout. Now you’re able to download the workout video and wall chart to follow right from our website. The targets provided allows you to create hundreds of different striking combinations. Also refer to the G-1000 installation video under the support section. 

When mounted on the wall, the G-1000 itself takes up less than 1 sq. foot of floor space.  When doing the workout and training on the machine, a good rule of thumb is to check and see if you would have enough room to do a push-up facing your machine and then a push-up perpendicular to the machine. 

No

You do not need to have any martial art or boxing experience to train on the Focusmaster G-1000 or to do the 30-minute workout. This is a Mixed Martial Arts inspired fitness-based workout that incorporates strength training and basic Mixed Martial Arts strikes that are easy to learn.

You will want to have a pair of boxing or MMA gloves with a set of 180-inch hand wraps. If this is your first time being introduced to Strike Training, we suggest a 14-16oz boxing glove for men and women. You will also want to have a nice pair of cross-training sneakers to keep your feet supported and protected.

Strike training is very beneficial to people of all ages and fitness levels. It requires users to engage their entire body from the ground up, working muscles that are often neglected with regular weight training and cardio programs. Striking is a functional movement that allows people to improve coordination, agility, balance and core strength. The resistance provided by the Focusmaster G-1000 allows users to develop and tone lean muscle and to improve bone density and striking power. 

Please refer to the Support section of the website for a full installation video.

There are a lot of different situations that could determine that and options to consider. It would be best if you called to speak with us, so we can answer your questions in more detail. Please also refer to our Support section on the website for videos and information on mounting.

You should tighten all hardware on the equipment, accessories, and wall and floor mounts on a weekly basis.  Depending on the number of classes being held, you might have to check hardware more frequently. We also recommend that you wipe down all pads and targets after use.

The Leaf Spring Target tension is very stiff and the padding is rigid as well. It has a similar feel to striking a high quality heavy bag. That is why we recommend using a fully padded boxing glove for hand protection and footwear to protect your feet when striking. It is designed to allow the user to punch, kick, knee and elbow. Our products are built to have longevity and durability.  If you are looking to have a much softer feel then we recommend the clapper target, which allows the user to strike through the pad with much less resistance. 

No

The Torso Pad and the Straight-On Target are not kicking targets; the Leaf Spring Target is your kicking target. The Straight-On Target is a face-punching target and the Torso Pad is a body-punching target. 

No

The Straight-On Target is designed for straight-on hand and elbow strikes.  The Uppercut Target is the Leaf Spring Target, which is perfect for your right or left uppercut and shovel hook.  

We offer a one-year warranty on the G-1000 mainframe unit and 90-day warranty on all accessories for any manufacturers defect. Please refer to your owners’ manual for a complete description of warranty and all details.

A Focusmaster Class is the hot, new 30-minute Mixed Martial Arts inspired workout that incorporates the innovative Focusmaster G-1000 Striking Machine. The class consists of an intense total body circuit training routine that uses functional strength exercises, plyometric training, and basic MMA striking combinations in an atmosphere of heart-pumping music and interactive instruction. Our program has been launched in several commercial fitness centers in the Northeast. Ask your gym owner or call us to find the closest gym offering the Focusmaster Program. 

The Focusmaster Program can be operated in almost any facility space. A closed room is recommended, but not necessary. A wall mounted G-1000 is 12 inches wide and 6 feet tall. When fully equipped with targets, it extends less than 30 inches from the wall.  We recommend that you have a minimum of 4 feet separating each G-1000.

One of the great things about the Focusmaster Class is that it appeals to a wide range of age groups and people of all fitness levels. Since the class is based off of 30-second intervals and not the numbers of repetitions or strikes, it allows the user to go at their own pace.

The Focusmaster G-1000 has a number of benefits when compared to a traditional heavy bag or Muay Thai bag. The Focusmaster G-1000 is more versatile, takes up less space, safer for the user, and differentiates you from all of the other gyms that just have heavy bags. The G-1000 allows for any of our targets to be locked-in to the mainframe at any height or angle. This gives the user an endless amount of target configurations and striking combinations for people of any height.  When wall mounted, the Focusmaster G-1000 sits just 4 inches from the wall and when fully equipped with targets, extends less than 30 inches from the wall. Unlike heavy bags, our equipment lines your walls to take full advantage of unused space within your gym. Our product is much safer than the heavy bag because our targets lock in at eight different angles. This allows the spring target to be set up at the correct angle for the appropriate strike. You will quickly notice this when you try to throw an uppercut into a heavy bag verses a Focusmaster G-1000 target. The Focusmaster G-1000 is also a stationary piece of equipment and will not sway back into the user as they are throwing a strike, which can cause injury due to the unexpected force and distance. Finally, members and potential members will quickly notice a very attractive piece of equipment and class that not many gyms are able to offer at this time.

This is not necessary. One of the great things about the Focusmaster Program is that it appeals to a wide range of age groups and people of all fitness levels. Since the class is based off of 30-second intervals and not the numbers of repetitions or strikes, it allows the user to go at their own pace. You can have someone who is taking the class for the first time, with no experience, right next to a professional athlete and they are both getting an incredible workout.
