insTallaTion
The Hammer Head Anchor Gym is very easy to install. First, nd a location that provides plenty of room
to exercise and wall studs that are load-bearing (i.e., they support the structure of your home or building).
You can also mount your Hammer Head Anchor Gym to concrete or block walls (see Page 9).
You will need a few tools and about 30-minutes for the installation.

InstallingYour System
To install your system, please follow these instructions.
Hammer Head Anchor Gym CORE – Mounting Conguration
Mount your Hammer Head Anchor Gym CORE Conguration with the H2 units mounted at seven feet,
chest height and ankle height.
Top H2 Unit:
Mount the top unit with
the top hook at seven feet.
This is the ideal height for the
Hammer Head Suspension
Strap and downward pulling
or pressing exercises.
1
Middle H2 Unit:
Mount the middle unit with
the top hook at chest height
(in line with your sternum).
2
Bottom H2 Unit:
Mount the bottom unit with the
bottom hook at ankle height
or about three to six-inches
from the oor.

1. Studs. Locate a load-bearing wall stud using a stud nder.
Mark the centerline (middle) of the stud.
NOTE: In any wood frame structure, load-bearing wood studs are
always 16-inches apart. This is to accommodate the installation
of the drywall. A magnetic stud nder (the small stud nder in the
photo at left) use magnets to locate the nails used to install the
drywall. For this reason, they are very accurate. An electronic stud
nder use changes in capacitance to locate the stud.
2. Mark Hole. Hold the unit in the desired position against the wall
with the mounting hole directly on top of the centerline of the stud.
Mark the top mounting hole.
3. Drill Bit. Using a standard 3/16 -inch drill bit, measure the drill bit against
the length of the lag screw. The drill bit in the photo happens to be
the same length of the lag screw (about 21/2-inches).
Drill a hole equal to length of the lag screw. If the drill bit is longer
than the lag screw, place a piece of tape around the drill bit marking
21/2-inches of the bit.
4. Starter Hole. Drill a starter hole the entire length of the drill bit
(or to the tape marking 21/2-inches).

12 13
5. Drill Bit & Lag Screw. It is important to use a 3/16 -inch drill bit.
Since the lag screw’s diameter is 5/16 -inches, the threads of the lag
screw will rmly grip the wood stud.
6. Secure Lag Screw. After the hole has been drilled into the stud,
insert and tighten a lag screw until it is secure.
7. Socket Wrench. Tighten the lag screw with the socket wrench.
8. Level. Level the H2 unit and mark the middle and lower
mounting holes.
9. Drill Other Holes. Hold the H2 to the side and drill the other
two mounting holes.
10. Secure Lag Screws. Tighten the lag screws until they are secure.
11. Socket Wrench. Tighten both lag screws with the socket wrench.
12. Finish and Repeat. Repeat this process for each of the other
two H2 units.

Threading – Bands
To reduce the length or increase the tension of a resistance
band, simply anchor the band on one hook and thread it
through a second hook.
Threading – Straps
The same applies to suspension or stretch straps.
To reduce the length of a strap, simply anchor a strap
to one hook and thread it through a second hook.
anCHorinG & THreadinG
The Hammer Head Anchor Gym provides numerous options for anchoring bands and straps.
Wrapping
To increase the safety of anchoring bands, the user
has the option of wrapping the band around the hook.
This will form a closed loop around the hook providing
an extra layer of safety.
This technique will also eliminate bands from slipping
while preforming exercises with alternating motions.
Basic Loop
For most exercises, especially those without vigorous
dynamic movements, it is sufcient to simply loop
the band over the hook.
Stretch Strap as a Pulley
The hooks can also be used to create a pulley using
a Hammer Head eight-foot stretch strap. In the photo,
Amanda has threaded the strap on an upper hook
and placed her foot in one of the strap’s loops.
To increase the tension of the stretch, Amanda simply
pulls on the strap to produce the desired stretch.
