Functional Training Equipment for the Gym

Benefits of Training with Functional Accessories

Functional training is designed to improve real-world movements—both daily and athletic—through compound exercises that engage the body as a whole, supported by specialised accessories. These versatile, lightweight, and often highly portable tools allow you to perform a wide variety of high-intensity or assisted bodyweight exercises, adapting to any fitness level and target. With Donatif products, you can work multiple muscle groups at once, enhance balance and stability, increase explosiveness and coordination, while seamlessly incorporating them into HIIT circuits, CrossFit routines, or functional rehab programmes. Every functional accessory is carefully selected or crafted in our own workshop, prioritising build quality, material durability, and user convenience to guarantee top-level performance on any training surface, whether in the gym or outdoors.

Battle Rope: Explosive Strength and Coordination

Battle ropes, available at Donatif in various lengths and diameters, are among the most dynamic functional accessories. They enable wave and circular movements that enhance cardiovascular endurance and upper body explosive strength.

Equipped with hard-wearing nylon coverings, they are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Battle ropes can be easily integrated into HIIT sessions or circuit training to burn calories and strengthen your core and shoulders.

Ab Wheel: Core Stability

The ab wheel is an essential tool for anyone aiming to develop core stability, build abdominal strength, and improve body control during training. Its targeted use effectively engages not only the abs, but also the lower back, obliques, shoulders, and arms, delivering a comprehensive workout for the entire midsection. At Donatif, our ab wheels are designed with robust materials and ergonomic handles, ensuring smooth, controlled, and safe movement—even during the most intense sessions. Their compact, lightweight structure makes them easy to transport and ideal for both home gyms and professional settings. Perfect for functional training, HIIT circuits, or core stability exercises, our ab wheels help you reach your fitness goals in a practical, efficient, and lasting way.

Push-Up Bars: Posture and Depth

Push-up bars are an extremely useful accessory for anyone wanting to improve technique, posture, and the effectiveness of traditional push-ups, making training safer and more effective. Their raised design allows increased range of motion, giving greater activation of the chest, shoulder, and triceps muscles and supporting more complete muscle development. At Donatif, we offer ergonomic push-up bars made from strong, non-slip materials to minimise joint stress, particularly on the wrists, which can often be overloaded during standard push-ups. The comfortable grip provides a stable and secure hold, allowing for smooth movement even during high-intensity workouts. Lightweight, compact, and easy to carry, our push-up bars are ideal for home gyms, outdoor sessions or gym training—making them the perfect partner for those seeking function, joint protection, and real results in every workout.

Resistance Bands: Versatility Anywhere

Resistance bands are among the most versatile and practical functional accessories, suitable for all ages and fitness levels. They allow you to perform targeted exercises for strength, stretching, and toning, making them ideal for full-body workouts, warm-ups, rehab, or cool-downs. Perfect for use anywhere—even in smaller spaces such as at home, in the office or outdoors—they are an effective, space-saving solution for staying fit. At Donatif, you’ll find fitness bands specifically for working the glutes and legs, as well as resistance bands available in a range of strengths, each coded by colour. Every band is made from high-quality materials, chosen for durability, sustained elasticity, and comfort throughout every exercise.
