Adaptive Motion Trainer - A new category of cardio-fitness Equipment

Adaptive Motion Trainer (AMT)

The trust received feedback from customers regarding the Adaptive Motion Trainer (AMT) research carried out over the summer. The trust was so pleased with the results that they invested in two units for the New Year. (The full results of the research are up on the notice board in the gym.)

The AMT is a new category of cardio-fitness equipment. It delivers a superior member experience in many ways, most importantly through its unique customisation capabilities known as 'adaptive motion'. Facilitating the natural movements of the body, the AMT allows transition from short to long strides, walking to running, then into deep lunges without having to change programmes.

The benefits of the AMT include:

Exercise without impact
Facilitating the natural movement of the body
A transition from short to long strides
High energy expenditure contributing to weight loss
High oxygen consumption resulting in significant health benefits
All movements can be performed forward and backwards

Dual Exercise Equipment

Instead of going for standard strength equipment, the trust has made the decision to go with dual exercise stations. This means all four of the resistance machines will have two or more functions.

Multi Press

Pulldown / Seated Row

Leg Extension / Leg Curl

Abdominal / Back Extension

Functional Training System (FTS) Glide - Giving you a different way to train!

Functional Training System (FTS) Glide

After the trust decided that we needed to refurbish the fitness suite we had to look into the different types of equipment available to us. One piece of kit that kept coming up was the functional trainer. The functional trainer is made up of two separate weight stacks and a series of pulley systems. The FTS Glide offers resistance training with freedom of motion to increase core strength, balance, stability and coordination. This means that if used correctly the Glide can be a full body workout.

The Glide can be fitted with various types of handles designed to train different muscle groups
It will allow you to train smaller muscle groups that would otherwise be awkward to target
With the adjustable pulleys you will be able to train both your upper and lower body
It will help beginners and experts perform literally hundreds of strength training exercises
It also has a built in pull up bar design for customers who enjoy exercises using their own body weight

Treadmill - Cushioning, stability and a more natural stride

Treadmill

This piece of equipment makes it possible for our members to enjoy the benefits of a treadmill without sacrificing stability and their natural stride. These treadmills deliver superior impact absorption while maintaining these critical factors:

When users step onto these treadmills they will notice how it feels more like they’re running outdoors. The belts adjust to natural fluctuations in their stride and they’ll be able to push off with ease, while enjoying great low impact workouts.
Integrated foot plant technology – The belt system adjusts belt velocity 100 times per second to match natural changes in foot speed, producing a smooth, rhythmic stride and reducing the jarring impact that can stress joints and cause injuries.
Ground effects impact control systems – Reducing fatigue and helping users maintain an even speed, the system combines ideal cushioning where feet land and vital stability where they push off.
