In 1984, I created the Fantastic line.
It was an immediate international success. Design, durability, and functionality were instantly embraced by customers all over the world.
Now, in 2024 – 40 years later – I felt it was time to recreate that line: preserving the unmistakable design, upgrading the biomechanics to today’s standards, using materials far superior to those of the past, and above all, with the same passion that has always driven Panatta Sport – then and now.
THE LEGENDS ARE BACK
- OLD SCHOOL DESIGN. A clear tribute to the golden age of bodybuilding.
- CHAIN DRIVE SYSTEM. Maintenance-free chain drive system for maximum long-term reliability.
- CAM MOVEMENT. Each machine features a CAM specially designed to ensure the optimal load curve.
- UNBREAKABLE. Metal structure and coatings for unmatched durability, just like 40 years ago.
- SUITABLE FOR HARDCORE WORKOUT LOADS. Thanks to the drive system and structure – combined with upgraded weight stacks – these machines are ideal for heavy-duty training for champions of all eras.
JUST LIKE 40 YEARS AGO, REAL CHAMPIONS TRAIN WITH PANATTA SPORT.
8-time Mr. Olympia Lee Haney, international bodybuilding legend and golden era icon, embraces Rudi Panatta’s vision and becomes the exceptional ambassador of this relaunch.
Training with the new Fantastic line allows everyone to feel like a legendary champion of the golden era.
THE HISTORY OF BODYBUILDING PASSES THROUGH PANATTA SPORT
Lee Haney, like all great champions, already appreciated the Fantastic machines in their original version, which left a permanent mark on the history of bodybuilding.
Panatta Sport’s legacy includes iconic models that led the Fantastic line to success – such as the Hack Squat, used by Haney during his Mr. Olympia prep.
Over the years, many of these models have been imitated. But being copied means being the first – now as then.
This is the story of a brand. A legend.
