GHD/Sit-Up Pad Upgrade Kit

Upgrade Kits will ship on January 22. This will not affect your existing Nordic Hyper preorder.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: This product only applies to people who have pre-ordered a Nordic Hyper before October 3.

All orders from October 3 onwards will include a GHD/Sit-Up Pad.

Completely Modular: The GHD Pad attaches by high-quality self fastener to turn your Nordic Hyper into a full sized Glute-Ham Developer. This unlocks the following exercises:

• Glute-Ham Raise
• GHD Sit-Up
• Reverse Hyperextension
• Sit-Ups
• Decline Leg Raises

The Sit-Up Pad neatly inserts into the head of the Nordic Hyper making sit-ups extremely comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why do I have to pay for this upgrade when new preorders get it for free?

A: Since launching the Nordic Hyper in July, we have raised the price to include the Upgrade Kit. Even with the cost of upgrading, you are still paying less than you would if you placed your preorder today (the new retail price is $999 and the current sale price is $799).

Not to mention, your order will ship much earlier :)

Q: Will this affect my existing ship date? When will my Hyper ship?

A: The Upgrade Kit will ship separately on January 15. This will not affect your Hyper shipment date. As a reminder, here are the shipment dates depending on which date you ordered:

Q: Do I really need this?

A: Short answer: No! This is a nonessential upgrade. Full answer:

Without the new GHD Pad, the Nordic Hyper works for GHD movements such as GHD Sit-Ups, 90° Back Extensions, and Reverse Hypers.

On GHD Sit-Ups and Reverse Hypers specifically, the GHD Pad provides a more complete range of motion due to the extra height provided. Fundamentally, the movements are the same. 

Additionally, it allows for Glute Ham Raises (GHRs). This is a regressed version of the Nordic Curl commonly performed on GHD Machines. 

Without the Sit-Up Pad, the Nordic Hyper still works as a full Decline Sit-Up Bench. Filling in the Back Extension gap simply makes sit-ups extra comfortable. Some users also prefer to use this pad for QL Raises.

Q: Are the other upgrades free? 

A: Yes, all other upgrades are free! This includes the Hip Thrust Mode, Decline Sit-Up Mode, laser-etched engravings, and more. With the exception of the GHD & Sit-Up pad, everything you see on the current product page is as you will receive it.

Q: I'm not sure if I want to upgrade. Is there a deadline?

A: You will have the option to upgrade at any point in the future. Depending on how many of you upgrade, there is a chance that we sell out of Upgrade Kits for January shipping.

We are doing our best to keep up with demand, but we have already sold out of four batches of Nordic Hypers. In order to guarantee the earliest possible shipment of the upgrade kit, I would recommend ordering by the end of November.
