GPK Uppertone

Fitness

GPK Uppertone multi-station upper-body strength system: a white roll-in frame with foam-padded levers, pulleys, and weight pegs, shown empty against a studio background.

Our take

Strength training usually asks for a strong grip, and Uppertone was designed around not needing one. GPK describes it as an upper-body system where you can move between stations and change resistance without grip strength, wrist cuffs or assistance, from a manual or power wheelchair. What stands out is the foam-padded levers instead of conventional gripping handles, which support presses, rows and lat-style pulls. If that sounds like what you have been missing, confirm availability and current specifications with the manufacturer or an authorized source. This is a pointer to product information, and it is not an item in our Equipment Library.

Who it may help: People with tetraplegia or quadriplegia who want upper-body strength training without hand grip.
