GHD/Sit-Up Pad Upgrade Kit
This upgrade kit only applies to you if you ordered a Nordic Hyper before Oct 3. All later orders 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 full range of motion in the following exercises:
- Glute-Ham Raise
- GHD Sit-Up
- Reverse Hyperextension
- 90° Back Extension
The Sit-Up Pad neatly inserts into the head of the Nordic Hyper making sit-ups extremely comfortable.
Frequently asked questions
Why do I have to pay for this upgrade when new orders get it for free?
Since launching the Nordic Hyper last year, 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 $699).
Do I really need this?
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.
I'm not sure if I want to upgrade. Is there a deadline?
As of Mar 26, there are 134 units left. After we sell out, Upgrade Kits will only be available on preorder.
I have additional questions about my Nordic Hyper.
