Magnum Fitness

Magnum Fitness Systems is an American manufacturer of commercial strength training equipment founded in 1978 by Larry Nelson and Pat Ellis in South Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The company developed a wide range of selectorized and plate-loaded machines, racks, and benches designed for durability in health clubs, collegiate weight rooms, and athletic facilities. Known for heavy-duty construction and biomechanically focused machine designs, Magnum produced more than 300 commercial fitness products and became a widely used brand in gyms across North America. The company was later acquired by Johnson Health Tech, and many of its designs continued under the Matrix Fitness product line.
