e’ve fitted 30 pieces of
Life Fitness Signature Strength series equipment to create a circuit that works all of the major muscle groups. We wanted to deliver a complete ‘journey’ of strength machines, intelligently laid out to create a varied set of experiences for exercisers of all fitness levels. “We now have a designated
consultation area for new members, which houses a chest press, leg press and seated row. This gives them the opportunity to be guided through each piece of equipment with a trainer and get used to using strength equipment. “For intermediates, we offer a total
body workout zone that consists of three strength sub zones (upper body, lower body, and ladies’ only) designed to give the customer a tailor-made workout choice. You can complete one zone in 20–30 minutes, or combine two or three for a longer workout. Finally, for advanced members, there’s
a PT area that offers Peripheral Heart Actions circuits. In these circuits, upper and lower body resistance exercises are alternated and then interspersed with short bursts of CV activity. This keeps the heart rate elevated throughout the session, which conditions the heart while simultaneously toning and strengthening the body.”

10-station circuit of Hoist Roc-It at the end of last year. “We introduced
“P
the range because it was different and we felt it would benefi t all our customers: it’s an innovative line of ride-orientated resistance equipment that adjusts to the movement of the user to simulate a free weights workout. “Members fi nd they have to reduce
the weight they use on the machines, indicating that the weight they added in the past on normal resistance equipment was inappropriate. For instance, on a normal chest press, people tend to add too much weight and use a small amount of power from their feet and legs to compensate. However, with the Roc-It equipment, this is impossible because the feet and legs are part of the exercise movement – moving upwards while the user pushes the weight forward. “The fi tness staff who regularly use
the Roc-It circuit say they love how it ensures correct posture throughout a full repetition, restricts poor technique and provides adequate support for common muscle problems, such as back- associated issues, setting it apart from normal resistance equipment.”
