Problem Statement. Physical fitness is an important indicator for a quality life, especially for athletes in maintaining and improving their performance during competitions. This can be achieved with fitness training equipment, but the high cost is an obstacle for some people, so alternatives are needed. Purpose. The purpose of this research is to develop a product in the form of a multi station training tool to improve physical fitness, which consists of exercises for pull ups, static bike, leg extensions and lateral bench press. Methods. This research is Research and Development (R&D) involving 12 experts, namely 4 mechanical engineering experts, 4 measurement test experts, and 4 fitness instructors. Procedures include needs analysis, design and product feasibility testing. The product is designed from various basic materials, namely 10 4” wheels, 5 STAAL pipes measuring 40 x 40 x 6 (2.0), 8 STAAL pipes measuring 60 x 30 x 6 (2.0), 5 pieces of black pipe measuring 1 x 6 (2.0) (31), 5” steel slings, and 1 barbell plate. The feasibility of the designed product was assessed independently by experts according to their expertise, then analyzed using Aiken's V index, Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and ANOVA. Results. The results of the product feasibility analysis show that the average value of the V index was 0.739, and the ICC was 0.854 (P < 0.05), with ANOVA was F = 1. 455; F = 1.000; and F = 2.066 (P > 0.05). Conclusions. The product in the form of a multi station training tool that has been developed can be used as an alternative to improve physical fitness. Various types of exercises can be done on this tool, such as pull ups, static bike, leg extensions and lateral bench press. Finally, this product is expected to overcome the limitations in obtaining fitness training equipment, both for athletes, non-athletes, trainers and fitness practitioners. Field trials are needed in future research, so that this tool not only meets feasibility indicators, but is also proven effective for improving physical fitness. © JPES.
