Psycho Iron Athletic Club: Inside Carlsbad & Buckhannon Gyms Featuring Bolt Fitness Equipment

Designing a space that marries striking aesthetics with raw, uncompromising functionality is a true art form. The layout and equipment choices at Psycho Iron Athletic Club showcase a masterful blend of heavy-duty engineering and biomechanical precision. Owned by Trevor and Samantha Pellerin, the club is currently thriving in Carlsbad, New Mexico, and is actively outfitting a brand-new, highly anticipated location opening soon in Buckhannon, West Virginia.

Partnering with Bolt Fitness Supply, they are loading up both locations with some of the most innovative strength equipment on the market. Let's break down the heavy hitters featured on their gym floor that are guaranteed to elevate any training routine.

The Wizard Seated Mid Row: Sculpting the Cobra Back

Achieving a balanced, three-dimensional back requires precision. The Freedom Series Wizard Seated Mid Row is engineered to do exactly that.

• It features independent rail-guided handles that allow for varying tension points and grip adjustments (overhand, neutral, single-arm).

• The movement targets the entire latissimus dorsi—from the exterior lats down to the interior and serratus—building incredible muscle density.

• By adjusting the chest pad and grip, lifters can safely push past their limits while maintaining perfect posture.

Zeus Hack Squat / Linear Leg Press: The Ultimate Leg Day Machine

Leg day just got a major upgrade with the Zeus Hack Squat Linear Leg Press.

• This 2-in-1 powerhouse seamlessly transitions from a linear leg press to a traditional hack squat in seconds.

• The ergonomic back pad provides simulated lumbar support, taking the strain off the L5/S1 spinal region and allowing for deeper, pain-free squats.

• Whether aiming for quad isolation or overall leg mass, the adjustable footplate ensures tension is placed exactly where it needs to be.

Ronin Lat Pulldown: Unbreakable Heavy-Duty Pulls

When it comes to vertical pulling, the Ronin Lat Pulldown is unmatched in its class.

• It features fully adjustable, rotating handles that accommodate wide, neutral, and reverse grips to target different areas of the back.

• Constructed with thick, commercial-grade steel, it remains incredibly sturdy even when loaded heavily.

• The friction-free movement ensures that all the resistance goes straight into the targeted muscles rather than fighting the machine itself.

Oracle Smith Machine / Half Rack: The Super-Setting Powerhouse

Efficiency is key in any well-designed workout, and the Monster Series Oracle Smith Machine / Half Rack delivers.

• This dual-purpose rack combines a freeweight station with an ultra-smooth Smith machine.

• Lifters can instantly superset exercises—like a freeweight squat followed immediately by Smith machine Romanian Deadlifts—without leaving the station.

• The heavy-duty bar and solid construction provide a secure, locked-in feel, far superior to standard cable-driven Smith machines.

Magistrate Shoulder Press: 3D Delts with Maximum Safety

Rounding out the upper body arsenal is the Magistrate Shoulder Press.

• Operating on a rail system, it offers the natural feel and muscle activation of a freeweight press but with the built-in safety of a guided track.

• The highly adjustable handles easily rotate to hit different heads of the deltoids, isolating the mid and front delts perfectly.

• It requires less weight to achieve maximum muscular failure, making it a highly effective and joint-friendly tool for building broad, rounded shoulders.

The commitment to quality over quantity is what builds champions. Whether you're training in Carlsbad, New Mexico, or preparing for the grand opening in Buckhannon, West Virginia, this equipment lineup ensures every rep counts. Ready to test out the Zeus Hack Squat or Ronin Lat Pulldown for yourself?
