Sources & checks
Checked 14 Oct 2026. Manufacturer specifications are claims, not independent test results. Retailer listings can change. What the specification labels mean.
Before ordering
- Identity: Fytique variant SKU GG-PLAT-112 equals the gymgear.com variant SKU; name and gallery agree with the maker's. Neither side publishes a separate barcode.
- 14 October 2026: Fytique (approved Awin 123594) exact variant available: true. Checkout not tested.
- Listing image rule check, 14 October 2026: the single Fytique gallery image shows the machine only; the weight-stack exercise placard has simple silhouettes with no restricted-area detail, which pass under the operator's 14 October 2026 decision (listing-image-rule 1.2). No description images. Pass.
- Spec sheet read: Platinum_Series_Abdominal_Back_Extension.pdf. The ab crunch has no movement type; back extension is recorded.
