SportsArt N917 Status Independent Shoulder Press
Description
The SportsArt N917 Status Independent Shoulder Press is a commercial-grade selectorized strength machine engineered for gyms, fitness centers, and training facilities that demand the best. Designed specifically for shoulder and arm development, the N917 features independent converging press arms that deliver ergonomic, natural motion for balanced muscle engagement with every rep. From a seated position, users press upward through two separate levers, allowing each side to work independently for symmetrical strength development and reduced compensation.
The N917 is built around a heavy-duty steel frame with premium components throughout - from Kevlar belts and aircraft-grade cables to stainless steel guide rods and European-styled cushions. Whether you're outfitting a professional performance facility or a high-traffic commercial gym, the N917 delivers the durability, biomechanical precision, and user comfort to keep members coming back day after day.

FAQ
What makes the independent arms better than a standard shoulder press?
Independent arms allow each side of the body to move through its own natural range of motion without being locked into a fixed bar path. This reduces compensation patterns, promotes symmetrical strength development, and is gentler on the shoulder joints - especially for users recovering from minor injuries or imbalances.
Is this machine suitable for beginners?
Yes. The N917 features pivot point indicators for proper joint alignment and rotating handles that reduce wrist stress, making it accessible and safe for users of all experience levels. The micro-loading system also lets beginners start at 16.5 lbs and progress in small, manageable increments.
How heavy is the N917 and will it require freight delivery?
The N917 weighs 613 lbs (278.6 kg) and will ship via freight on a pallet. Professional delivery and placement coordination is recommended. Please contact us at service@omahasportsandgames.com for delivery details and scheduling before purchase.
Does the N917 require assembly upon delivery?
Some assembly is typically required for commercial strength equipment of this type. We recommend having a qualified fitness equipment technician handle installation to ensure proper setup, alignment, and safety. Please reach out to us if you need assistance arranging installation.
