A sled, often referred to as a prowler sled or weight sled, is a versatile piece of gym equipment used for strength and conditioning training. It consists of a flat base that can be loaded with weights, and it is designed to be pushed or pulled across various surfaces, such as turf or rubber flooring. Sled training is often used in gyms for athletes and fitness enthusiasts seeking to enhance their speed, strength, and endurance.
In this redesign project, we delved into the specific needs of athletes when using sleds in the gym. To enhance safety and convenience, we replaced the conventional method of stacking weights on the sled with designated placeholders. This modification not only eliminates the risk of fingers getting trapped during weight stacking but also simplifies the process of returning the sled to its designated spot after use.

Additionally, the redesigned handle enhances usability for people of various body types. The "X" shape of the handle is strategically designed to allow all athletes to find the most suitable spot for their training, ensuring comfort and effectiveness during workouts.
