GYM 360 - CV Equipment

The acquisition of the following state-of-the-art CV (cardiovascular) machines produced by Cybex, Keiser, and Concept II should provide even the most discerning gym member more than enough variety and performance to meet their exercise goals and demands at GYM 360°. As is the case with most gyms, the treadmills will be the most widely used workhorse in the CV area. So deciding which brand and model of treadmill GYM 360° should be equipped with was not taken lightly. Taking into account durability, craftsmanship, pricing, personal experiences, testimonies, and aftermarket service lead to the decision to use the Cybex 750T treadmills in our upcoming facility.

For those who like to cross-train or just enjoy alternative modes of CV other than walking/jogging/or running on the treadmill, than the Cybex 750AT Arc Trainer and the Concept II Rower are excellent for providing a full body workout that burns calories, increases muscular endurance, tones, and won’t leave you bored to tears.

The Keiser M3 Indoor Cycles will be used to conduct classes in our cycling studio. Keiser has cleverly put the fly wheel at the back of the bike, so there is less damage from dripping sweat. The resistance controls are digital and a breeze to use. The M3 is also Polar friendly, so riders who are wearing their Polar transmitters can see their heart rate displayed on the bike’s digital screen.

The rest of the CV equipment is rounded out by the Cybex 750R Recumbent Bike which is great for low back pain sufferers, and the Cybex 750C Upright Bike which combines an outdoor cycling feel with built in programs to simulate various terrain conditions that require different capacities of work to overcome.
