Life Fitness In December 2007, London’s Imperial College boathouse gym
was refurbished with Life Fitness strength kit. The MTS range offers iso-lateral technology, providing smooth converging and diverging arcs of motion, allowing users to move both limbs at the same time, one at a time, alternating, or with different weights for each – perfect preparation for rowing. Life Fitness has also announced a deal to distribute the
First Degree Fitness Fluid Rower E520 and Fluid Upper Body Ergometer E920. First Degree Fitness’ water resistance system offers 20 levels of resistance, from ‘feather light’ to ‘Olympic sprint’. fitness-kit keywords: life fitness
Gen3 Kinematics
Distributed in the UK by Gen3 Kinematics, MyoQuip strength training systems are used in Australia by Sydney University Rowing Club and New South Wales Institute of Sport, which together provided 23 athletes to the 2008 Olympic games and 2010 World Championships. Two pieces of kit have now been installed at London Rowing Club. Head coach Phil Bourguinon says: “Athletes can use the MyoQuip systems to increase strength safely, adding far more weight than they can in a squat without the risk of injuring their back.” fitness-kit keyword: myoquip
Matrix The gym at the Royal Canoe Club in Teddington includes 14
pieces of equipment donated by Matrix. While upper body training is vital, canoeing and kayaking are total body sports, requiring a combination of strength and flexibility, and the gym offers a combination of selectorised strength machines and free weight products. The kit provides range of motion adjustments, helping to address muscle imbalances – which can be common in paddle sports – and reduce the risk of injury. fitness-kit keyword: matrix

Designed to last a lifetime Accurate & repeatable data
Keiser Keith Whelan, a 29-year-old freelance events manager, is set
to row solo across the Indian Ocean – a distance of around 6,000km. Unlike most rowers, he’s therefore training for endurance rather than explosive power. As part of his gym work, which includes CV and strength training, he’s been using the Keiser M3 Indoor Cycle to build up endurance without putting additional strain on his joints. fitness-kit keyword: keiser
