Biceps

Biceps StandUp® brings curls to a standing position: angled grip, active posture, and involvement of the core and balance. One of the most versatile gym machines for overall strength.

Biceps StandUp® allows for precise execution of the curl in a standing position, stimulating the arm in isolation and engaging the global kinetic chain thanks to the active posture. The free front access and angled handle ensure ergonomics, joint freedom, and control, transforming a classic exercise into a more functional and engaging movement.

Thanks to TECA StandUp® technology, each repetition activates not only the biceps, but also the core, balance, and stabilizing muscles, transforming the classic isolation exercise into a more intense and functional movement, with greater energy expenditure and neuromotor control.

The result is a clean curl that can be replicated and transferred to everyday or sports movements, with benefits in terms of overall strength and execution quality.

Recommended for

FAQs

The SUP05 Biceps brings a hugely popular exercise—the curl—into a standing position where posture and alignment are more natural and self-guided. This lowers the technical barrier (no benches to adjust, no “mystery” angles), reduces lumbar and cervical compensations typical of poorly executed curls, and makes biceps activation immediate and obvious. Result: more people try it, more people keep it in their routine, and there’s less need for constant corrections. For the club, that means a truly high-turnover machine, broadly inclusive (women, seniors, beginners, postural users) with virtually no learning curve. The combined effect is clear: more real usage, higher perceived satisfaction, and an arm area that finally works all day instead of sitting idle between peaks. There’s also direct upside for upsell and cross-sell: an immediately gratifying exercise makes it easier to sell “Toned Arms” programs, targeted PT packages, and short, time-boxed express sessions (20–30 minutes) that fill dead spots in the schedule. The simplicity of the equipment lets trainers build clear, measurable, marketable protocols, lifting the professional perception of the area. Finally, StandUp verticality elevates the space and creates a shop-window effect that suits social content and quick floor demos. Equipment that explains itself, photographs well, and delivers an instant muscle feel is an attention multiplier: more spontaneous trials, more internal word of mouth, more qualified traffic to the strength area.
Retention comes from three levers: perceived safety, fast results, and enjoyment. The SUP05 Biceps hits all three. The standing execution and natural trajectory reduce neck and shoulder discomfort; biceps activation is obvious from the very first set; and the experience is rewarding even at moderate loads. Users feel it works and tend to repeat it consistently. Consistency leads to visible changes in arm tone and shape—one of the most requested aesthetic drivers. When members see progress without discomfort, they renew without needing discounts or aggressive promos. That’s quality retention, supported by a superior user experience. Operationally, ease of use reduces the typical 4–6 week drop-off: fewer early abandonments mean longer attendance cycles and a more stable member base. It also enables micro-challenges focused on arms (measurements, photos, grip tests) that feed motivation and tie users emotionally to the environment. In addition, the SUP05 integrates well into boutique-style group programming: short, controlled-density blocks alternating StandUp pulls and standing curls. Embedded in smart circuits, the machine increases the sense of “method” in the club and turns a single positive experience into a weekly habit that consolidates loyalty.
ROI per m² depends on how often a machine is used and how many people can use it well. The SUP05 Biceps maximizes both: compact footprint, instant comprehension, and broad suitability drive continuous rotation. In practice, the same square meter produces more sessions, more satisfaction, and more reasons to stay on the floor. There’s also a valuable side effect: simple, rewarding equipment reduces the need to duplicate stations to handle queues caused by “difficult” machines. Fewer redundant purchases mean lower CAPEX and OPEX. In short: high rotation, broad audience, small footprint → superior ROI per m². From a scheduling angle, the SUP05 fills short slots (5–10 minutes) between other movements, increasing the member’s active time and the productivity of each time band. That translates into more contact opportunities for trainers, more PT trial invites, and therefore more ancillary revenue generated within the same footprint. Lastly, StandUp verticality frees floor space and makes the room more legible. A tidy, airy floor with fast-rotating standing stations can support higher flows without feeling crowded, boosting satisfaction and reducing churn due to a “packed gym” perception.
In environments not always staffed, you need equipment that’s safe, intuitive, and speaks a universal language. The SUP05 Biceps fits perfectly: guests instantly understand setup, avoid the postural pitfalls common to poorly executed curls, and get a clear muscle sensation right away. This lowers staff demands and requires essentially zero user manuals. Visually, the StandUp line has a clean, modern presence that elevates the space. For boutiques and hotels, that means a premium experience and stronger reviews; for corporate gyms, it means fewer risks, more autonomous usage, and higher perceived value of the wellness benefit. From an operations standpoint, equipment that reduces technical errors cuts incident reports and interruptions. On-boarding overhead shrinks, safety briefings simplify, and low-supervision hours become more productive, delivering consistent service throughout the day. Maintenance also benefits: correct, linear use reduces abnormal wear and micro-faults from improper handling. Fewer technical interventions and less downtime mean service continuity, stronger uptime KPIs, and a more favorable TCO over the life cycle.
Immediate posture and intuitive movement slash floor micro-corrections: fewer staff minutes spent explaining “how to hold elbows, back, neck,” and fewer interruptions during peak hours. Fewer technical errors also mean fewer reports of wrist, elbow, or neck discomfort, leading to fewer complaints and interventions. Simplicity lowers misuse wear and lessens the need to double up stations to absorb queues created by finicky machines. Less staff time, less downtime, less redundant equipment: operations streamline and cost per use drops. Bottom line: more operating margin, every day. In parallel, the machine supports a more consultative floor model: staff stop “putting out technical fires” and can focus on PT trials, quick screenings, and micro-programming. Every staff minute reallocated to consultative tasks carries higher economic value than basic supervision. Finally, smoothing away usage friction raises immediate satisfaction, cuts dead time, and improves flow between StandUp stations. A floor that runs without snags costs less to manage and produces a more pleasant experience, which in turn sustains retention and recurring sales.
