Innovative fitness machine 480 Trainer for Mars Athletic
480 seconds
The concept of the 480 Trainer was developed by Hans Mars. With over 25 years of experience in health, sport and lifestyle, he has, in collaboration with WeLLDesign, realised a machine that allows him to fulfil his dream: to get as many people as possible fit in an effective and responsible way.
480 seconds! That's what the multi-trainer is based on. It's exactly the amount of time someone needs per day to elegantly develop muscles and simultaneously work towards a healthier body. With the 480 TRAINER multitrainer– a concept by Hans Mars – in just a few minutes, the user works on optimal fat burning, healthy circulation, and sufficient stamina and flexibility.

Product development of the 480 trainer
WeLLDesign carried out the Strategic Design strategy and the Design, the Engineering, the User Interface Design and took care of product development and technical feasibility of the first prototype series.
WeLLDesign started the design process with an extensive Design strategy Workshop. Our vision was combine high-end design with innovative technology. The goal was make different material and colour combinations possible.
Next, the design and product development was realised according to this vision. WeLLDesign also executed the engineering for the first seris prototypes.
The 480 trainer in use
Injuries are hardly possible on the 480TRAINER. This is because it is a non-impact machine. This means that the movements during the workout are slow and steady. As a result, they do not put any impact on the joints. Muscle soreness is also uncommon, due to the constant muscle tension during the workout on the 480TRAINER. Muscle soreness can sometimes occur because tense/shortened muscles are being stretched. This usually happens with a posture that has become unbalanced due to an inactive lifestyle or poor posture. The stretching then restores normal posture. So, these muscle pains are nothing more than positive aches that benefit the body.
The 480 trainer is equipped with a touchscreen and USB port for storing and viewing data. Training with data is much more effective. This device allows for both upper and lower body training in such a way that it is suitable for both young and old, beginners and experienced individuals. With a 2 x 4-minute workout, you'll be fitter than ever! 4 minutes for the upper body, 4 minutes for the lower body.
