The Ferocity Multi: One Isokinetic Machine for Squat, Press and Full-Body Power
Some machines specialise. The Ferocity Multi refuses to. Formerly catalogued as the “Multi-Chest,” this Velocity Isokinetics unit was renamed to capture what it actually delivers: aggressive, full-body power developed at speed — with or without a bench in place.
The tagline says it plainly: increase your pressing and upper-body strength. But the Ferocity Multi’s reach runs further than the chest. Across pressing, pulling, squatting and hinging patterns, it is built to be the power hub of a strength-and-conditioning floor. For facilities that need a genuinely multi-functional gym machine rather than a dozen single-use stations, this is where the conversation starts.
Why “Ferocity”? A Machine Built Around Power
The name points to the machine’s purpose. Where many resistance units are optimised for isolated strength, the Ferocity Multi is engineered around power — force produced quickly — a quality that is widely associated with sporting performance.
In physics terms, power is Force × Velocity. That relationship is the backbone of high-speed isokinetic training, and it’s why Velocity Isokinetics measures and stores output in watts rather than reps alone. Read more on the principle in Power = Force × Velocity: Why We Measure Watts.
By moving against hydraulic resistance at controlled speeds, the Ferocity Multi is designed to let athletes train fast and hard across compound patterns — the kind of work that develops the explosive pressing, driving and extending effort that competition demands.
Bench On or Bench Off: One Frame, Two Workout Modes
The defining feature of the Ferocity Multi is its removable bench. Pull it into place and you have a stable pressing station; take it away and the same frame becomes a free-standing power platform. That single design choice unlocks an unusually broad exercise list from one footprint — the essence of a multi-functional gym machine.
No-bench functions (standing / floor-based):
- Squat
- Single-leg squat
- Bent-over row
- Tricep push-down
- Deadlift
- Standing shoulder press
With-bench functions:
- Chest push/pull
- Chest press
- Shoulder press
The bench itself is no afterthought. It offers an adjustable angle from −30° to 90°, with a multi-bench position and footrest, so you can dial in decline, flat and incline pressing angles on the same unit. A counter-balance level arm keeps the loading smooth and consistent through the range.
Isokinetic squat training: controlled power through the full range
With the bench removed, the Ferocity Multi functions as an isokinetic squat machine. Standing on the platform, the athlete drives against hydraulic resistance that accommodates to their force output throughout the entire squat range — from the bottom of the movement where leverage is weakest to the top where it is strongest. Unlike a barbell squat where the load is fixed and speed varies, the isokinetic squat keeps velocity controlled while resistance matches effort at every degree.
That makes it suited to two populations: athletes who need to develop squat power at sport speed, and clinicians progressing athletes back from lower-limb injury who need controlled, measurable loading through a full range. The CMTS records force, power and range of motion on every rep, so squat output can be tracked session to session and compared limb to limb. For rotational power on the same dual-concentric system, see the Torso machine.
Built for Speed: Variable Control From 10 to 500°/sec
Speed is where isokinetic training separates itself from conventional strength work, and the Ferocity Multi gives you a wide band to operate in. Its variable speed control runs from 10°/sec up to 500°/sec — slow enough for controlled, low-velocity loading at the bottom of the range, fast enough for explosive, high-velocity effort at the top.
That range matters because the resistance accommodates to you. Rather than a fixed weight stack, the hydraulic system regulates resistance to match the force you apply, keeping the movement controlled throughout the full range of motion. For a deeper comparison of how that differs from isotonic and pneumatic options, see Isokinetic vs Isotonic vs Pneumatic: Which Resistance Builds Power?.
Other core features include:
- Linear motion resistance
- Hydraulic resistance system
- Computer Managed Training System (CMTS) with a touch-screen display and smart system PC
- Heavy-duty frame
- Counter-balance level arm
- Adjustable angle bench (−30° to 90°) with multi-bench position and footrest
What You Can Train on the Ferocity Multi
Because the frame supports both linear pressing and standing lower-body work, the documented movement list reads like a full strength programme:
- Calf flexion/extension
- Quads flexion/extension
- Chest push/pull
- Back flexion/extension
- Glute flexion/extension
- Hamstring flexion/extension
- Shoulder — all movements, plus pull-over
- Triceps flexion/extension
The push/pull, reciprocating nature of many of these patterns makes the Ferocity Multi a natural fit for dual-concentric training — working opposing muscles in both directions of a movement. The methodology is designed to balance strength differentials between opposing muscle groups and develop speed. Learn more in Dual Concentric Training: Working Opposing Muscles at Speed.
Data That Backs the Power: CMTS Reports
Power development only counts if you can measure it. Every Ferocity Multi ships with the Computer Managed Training System, paired with a touch-screen display and smart system PC. After a session, the system can report across:
- Strength
- Torque
- Endurance
- Power
- Range of motion
- Comparison
The Comparison report is especially useful on a multi-pattern machine like this — tracking how pressing output, squat power and pulling strength progress side by side across a training block.
Footprint and Floor Fit
The Ferocity Multi occupies a 1.2 m × 2.0 m footprint — substantial enough to stay stable under heavy, fast loading, but compact enough for a single bay in a performance facility.
Who the Ferocity Multi Suits
With its power-first design and broad movement library, the Ferocity Multi leans toward athletes, coaches and strength-and-conditioning facilities — anyone who needs pressing, squatting and hinging capacity without dedicating floor space to a row of single-use machines. The same controlled-speed, accommodative resistance that makes it a power tool also makes it relevant on the return-to-performance end of the rehabilitation continuum. See how the technology bridges both worlds in From Rehab to Performance: One System, Every Stage of the Athlete Journey.
Bring Ferocity to Your Facility
The Ferocity Multi is built to be the power centre of your training floor — one frame, two modes, and a movement list that covers most of a strength programme. If you’re specifying equipment for a performance facility, a school sports programme or a high-performance gym, see the Ferocity Multi for full specifications, the movement list and the data reports — then contact Velocity Isokinetics to discuss configuration, pricing and lead times.
