Our equipment is specifically designed to accommodate men and women and is adjustable to your fitness level.
Why use hydraulics? Hydraulic resistance equipment is used in 99.99% of all 30-minute circuit fitness clubs for one very important reason; hydraulic resistance provides fully accommodating resistance. What does that mean? It means that when the muscles fatigue, hydraulic resistance decreases in exact proportion to the force exerted by the participant. In laymen’s terms this means that when your muscles give out and you slow down your movement, the resistance decreases allowing you to recover without stopping cold. YOU CANNOT DO THIS WITH WEIGHT BASED EQUIPMENT! | |  | |  | Other Benefits of Hydraulic Exercise Equipment With the accommodating nature of hydraulic resistance, an entire group of participants can be serviced, each with a different level of personal fitness: Grandmothers, Mothers, Daughters, Husbands, Wives, Olympic athletes and couch potatoes can all exercise together. Psychological benefits are noteworthy. People turn to the non-intimidating 30-minute interval circuit training program where they can succeed from DAY ONE and follow through month after month. Aerobic benefits are a major attraction to the beginning exerciser and those who favor more aerobic type exercise (90% of all women). Calorie expenditure is the hallmark measurement of the interval circuit training program and you can burn 200-700 calories in just 30 minutes depending on your pace and heart rate zone. Perhaps the greatest benefit of interval circuit training is its cross training benefits of aerobic and strength in one 30 minute program. Traditional aerobic training, such as swimming, cycling, low impact aerobics, step aerobics, treadmills, ellipticals, rowers, etc, raise the heart rate, but do not engage all of the muscle groups and individual muscles as does interval circuit training.
