Why the Hammer Strength Super Fly is a Must-Have for Performance Facilities

In strength and conditioning, every piece of equipment must have a clear purpose—boosting performance, feeling right, and achieving results. The Hammer Strength Super Fly is designed with these goals in mind. Unlike traditional pec fly machines or free weights, the Super Fly elevates upper-body training with its advanced design, flat-to-decline adjustability, and a smooth, purposeful movement pattern.

Built for Performance: Key Design Features

The Super Fly is not your typical fly machine — it’s designed to give you total pec exhaustion in one machine. Help your athletes tailor movement paths with the Super Fly’s intuitive Flat-to-Decline Adjustment. Enable engagement of different angles of the chest and optimize muscle activation. Your athletes will appreciate the Extra-Long Handles which ensure a natural range of motion for a variety of arm lengths – everyone can maintain consistent mechanics throughout their training. The FreedomFly Back Pads provide a secure yet unrestricted feel, letting the shoulders move freely without restriction, which is key for both muscle engagement and joint health. And finally, the Raised Foot Placement helps athletes achieve proper positioning, eliminating unnecessary stress and keeping the movement as efficient as possible.

Why It’s Different Than Dumbbell Flys

Dumbbell fly’s have always been a core component of upper-body training, but they come with their drawbacks. Free weights depend on gravity, so resistance is greatest at the bottom of the movement and decreases as you reach the top. In contrast, the Super Fly is designed so that the resistance maintains constant throughout the entire range of motion so that muscles stay fully engaged from start to finish. With a light starting resistance of just 8 lbs per arm, beginners can focus on perfecting their technique, while advanced athletes can increase the load for maximum resistance. Additionally, the Range of Motion Adjustment deepens or limits depth depending on training needs.

Elevate Your Training Space

Performance facilities demand equipment that gives athletes the tools to train the way they compete. The Hammer Strength Super Fly is more than just a chest machine—it’s a tool for developing explosive pressing power, shoulder stability, and functional strength. Whether you’re coaching elite athletes or serious lifters, this machine brings a level of versatility and effectiveness that can’t be matched by traditional flys or cable crossovers.
