The Atlantis DNA
Equipment
Our commercial shrug machines let lifters keep the arms straight along the sides of the body, placing the trapezius in its strongest working position. Engineered and built by Atlantis Strength in Laval, Quebec, they bring together the benefits of barbells and dumbbells without the grip and lower-back limits that hold back free-weight shrugs.

Space-Saving Multipurpose Design. Perform shrugs, deadlifts, and split squats within the same footprint, ideal for maximizing floor space in home or commercial gyms....
We build our shrug machines for the demands of high-traffic commercial floors, where a machine has to hold up for years and still deliver a clean, repeatable movement. Durability and biomechanics drive every design decision, from the frame to the movement path.
The Shrug and Deadlift Machine is a 3-in-1 station for shrugs, deadlifts, and Bulgarian split squats, built to handle heavy daily use on a commercial floor. Independent lever arms let each side work on its own, so lifters train unilaterally instead of masking a weaker side.
Custom colours and custom logos match the machine to your facility’s branding, so it fits the look of your floor instead of standing out against it. Two grip options, pronated and neutral, plus an optional detachable footrest give your trainers room to adjust the movement to each member.
We manufacture every shrug machine at our facility in Laval, Quebec, as one of the founding companies of the strength equipment industry. That Canadian build is where the long-term durability and biomechanics commercial buyers depend on come from.
Keeping the arms straight along the body isolates the trapezius and removes the grip and lower-back limits that cap barbell shrugs. The movement fits a wider shoulder and upper-back program, so our shoulder machines train the same zone, and members build the upper traps without the setup a loaded bar demands.
Each arm moves on its own, so lifters correct side-to-side imbalances and work through a full range of motion on every rep. That independence makes the machine a strong fit for athletes and rehab-focused programming, where matching left and right output matters.
Pronated and neutral grips change the loading angle on the traps, letting members work the muscle from more than one position on a single machine. Trainers can rotate grips through a program without sending anyone to another station.
One footprint covers shrugs, deadlifts, and Bulgarian split squats, which frees up floor space in facilities that can’t spare a dedicated station for each lift. Since it also loads the posterior chain, it works alongside our rowing machines and back training without adding another frame to the floor.
Our shrug machines are built to take years of heavy loading across high-traffic gyms, which lowers replacement costs over the life of the equipment. Durability and biomechanics are why facilities keep coming back to Atlantis Strength when they invest in a floor that has to last.
A shrug machine covers the traps, but a complete floor needs the machines around it to work together. Atlantis Strength builds durable, biomechanically sound equipment that fits into a full lineup of commercial gym equipment, so your facility invests once and trains for years.

A shrug machine trains the trapezius as the primary muscle, with the shoulders and upper back working as secondary support. Keeping the arms straight along the body puts the traps in their strongest position and keeps the load on the target muscle instead of the grip.
Our machines lead on durability, biomechanics, and Canadian manufacturing, all backed by custom colour and logo options. We build them in Laval, Quebec to hold up under commercial use while guiding a clean, repeatable movement path.
Yes. The Shrug and Deadlift Machine is a 3-in-1 station that also handles deadlifts and Bulgarian split squats, thanks to independent lever arms that let each side move on its own. That range makes it a practical choice for facilities that want more than a single-purpose station.
The Shrug and Deadlift Machine uses a space-saving footprint designed to fit busy commercial floors without crowding the surrounding stations. For exact dimensions and clearance requirements, confirm the current spec sheet.
Yes. We offer custom colours and custom logos so the machine matches your facility’s branding, along with two grip options and an optional detachable footrest. Those choices let you tailor both the look and the movement to your members.
