The GrAvITYSystem, by efi Sports Medicine, is anchored in core training based
on balance and control. GrAvITY workouts on the Total Gym GTS encourage functional move-
ment by using body weight as resistance. The inclined rolling glideboard and cable pulley
system ensure high-level performance of multi-planar movements to enhance functional
strength, endurance, and flexibility, while engaging core stabilizers in nearly every exercise.
GrAvITYSystem programs include personal training, Pilates, group strength training, and
post-rehab.
“GrAvITY Training on Total Gym engages the core and provides an effective total-body workout,” asserts Tom
Campanaro, CEO. “Users of all ages, sizes, and fitness levels get a dynamic workout that chisels and strengthens the
abdominals, obliques, and back muscles.”

The TrX Suspension Trainer from Fitness Anywhere is designed to build strength, balance,
flexibility, and core stability simultaneously. This portable performance training tool lever-
ages gravity and the user’s body weight to facilitate hundreds of exercises for every fitness
goal. The TrX builds core strength with each exercise by creating an element of instability
that engages the core; having a strong core helps performance, coordination, and posture,
while preventing injuries.
“Suspension-training exercise manipulates the user’s center of gravity and base of support
to integrate core stability and multiplanar movements for enhanced physical performance and durability,” says Chris
Frankel, head of programming at Fitness Anywhere. “Every exercise becomes an integrated, full-body movement,
leading to higher caloric expenditure. Users can load and unload exercises to improve posture, movement, strength,
power, flexibility, endurance, and balance.”
