The HOIST® Club Line CL-3601 Abdominal Crunch delivers focused core strengthening through a stable, supported movement that is easy to understand and simple to adjust. Designed for commercial gyms, condominiums, rehabilitation clinics, long-term care communities, active-aging programs, and corporate wellness facilities, it gives users a dependable alternative to unsupported floor exercises.

Core training can be difficult for beginners, older adults, and users who need greater stability. Poor positioning may reduce effectiveness or place unnecessary strain on the body. The CL-3601 addresses these concerns with supportive elbow pads, a foot-stabilizing bar, and a counterbalanced movement arm that help users establish proper leverage and maintain control throughout each repetition.

A gas-spring-assisted seat adjuster with a large, easy-to-reach handle allows the machine to accommodate different body sizes with less effort. HOIST’s Slide Select System eliminates traditional guide rods and selector pins, reducing friction points while providing smooth, quiet resistance changes in precise 5 lb increments. Its substantial 300 lb (136 kg) weight stack supports gradual clinical progression, general conditioning, and more demanding commercial strength programs.

For physiotherapists, the controlled seated position supports repeatable setup and measurable resistance progression. In shared fitness rooms, the intuitive adjustments make the machine approachable for users with different experience levels. The CL-3601 requires transfer onto its fixed seat and active use of the foot bar and elbow pads, so facilities serving people with significant mobility limitations should include complementary wheelchair-accessible core-training options.

With a machine weight of 650 lb (294 kg), the CL-3601 provides the stability and build quality expected in frequently used environments. Resolution Fitness can support your investment with facility planning, delivery, professional installation, equipment orientation, preventive maintenance, and ongoing Canadian service.
