AN
INNOVATIVE NEW FITNESS SYSTEM
The Milton and Betty Katz JCC is pleased to introduce the new GRAVITYSystem™, giving its members a chance to experience Gravity Group Strength Training, Gravity Pilates, Personal Training and/or Post-rehab) on the innovative GTS™ equipment.
ÒThe
JCC is, at this time, the only fitness center in our market offering the new
gravity-based training system by EFI Sports Medicine,Ó said Margie Hess,
Fitness Director. ÒThe GRAVITYSystem™ is designed to deliver quick, efficient
and effective workouts while expanding program variety and member access. This
system has such appeal to our members,Ó she added. ÒThose who didnÕt have time
to strength train before can now enjoy maximum benefits with a shorter time
commitment, and members interested in Pilates can now get functional top-notch
training at every skill level.Ó
The JCC has purchased four of the GRAVITYSystem™
machines, and has housed them in a private room off the fitness floor. ÒWe will
have specially trained personal trainers working with this system, in a private
environment,Ó Hess explained. ÒPlus, with four machines, groups of two, three
or four can share a personal trainer, reducing the cost of personal training
dramatically.
GRAVITYSystem™ classes were piloted at Crunch Mission
Viejo, where Rob Glick, CrunchÕs Regional Group Fitness Director in Orange
County, California, said members line up for the classes. ÒCrunch Mission Viejo
members love it and feel like it is an excellent use of their time. Thirty
minutes gets them a complete, personalized muscular endurance/strength training
workout. They like being able to use one piece of equipment that can get them
maximum benefits and all-over results,Ó he added.
The GRAVITYSystemÕs programming disciplines are all part of GRAVITY4Programming™, and each is conducted on the GTS™machine. GTS, a gravity-training device that encourages functional exercise by using an individualÕs body weight as resistance, utilizes a cable and pulley system and free-motion glideboard. Adjustable to nine different levels of resistance, the machine engages all major muscle groups and facilitates more than 250 strength training, stretching and Pilates exercises.
Programming includes:
GRAVITYPilates. These engaging new classes make Pilates more accessible to club members. Offering traditional and evolved programs, GRAVITYPilates overcomes strength and flexibility limitations and improves core stability, flexibility and control for all ability levels.
GRAVITYPersonalTraining™. Members are attracted to personal training sessions on GTS, either in one-on-one or small group sessions. With GTS, there is no moving around or waiting for equipment. Members also enjoy lower prices for training in small groups on GTS while they continue to receive the personal attention so important to the successful personal training experience.
GRAVITYPost-rehab™. For those who have finished their sessions with a physical therapist after surgery or injury, or who have functional limitations and need to establish a conditioning program, gravity resistance has proven functional capabilities. efi Sports Medicine has a long history as a leading supplier in the physical therapy and athletic training field and has developed the GRAVITYPost-rehab program in association with industry professionals. Trainers who have been through GRAVITYPost-rehab training lend confidence that their conditioning programs will be complementary to membersÕ recent physical therapy treatment.
