Reform Bar
Reform
Bar™: The Portable Pilates Studio for Personal Trainers
With the introduction of the Reform Bar™, Power Systems
gives personal trainers a new way to provide their clients
with a Pilates workout, without requiring heavy equipment
or a studio.
The new Reform Bar™ enables users to perform Reformer-style
movements with one simple piece of equipment. Because its
lightweight and disassembles easily to fit in its own carry
bag, it is an ideal tool for travel.
The Reform Bar™ consists of a 39-inch padded bar with two
30-inch resistance tubes attached to each side. Users slide
their feet into two attached Velcro-adjustable cuffs to
perform different movements. The Reform Bar™ comes in light
or extra light resistance to suit different levels of
users.
The Reform Bar™ also has a 55-minute companion DVD
featuring Leslee Bender. The Reform Bar™ DVD provides
instructions for a variety of movements similar to those
performed on an actual Reformer.
The Reform Bar™ and Reform Bar™ DVD are some of more than
2,000 products available from Power Systems. For additional
information on the Reform Bar™ and the companion DVD,

Premium Hanging Mats
Time
to Hang It Up: Premium Club Mats Now Available With
Reinforced Rings
The
new Premium Hanging Club Mats from Power Systems provide
the same comfortable feel and quality construction as the
Premium Club Mats, yet they have two reinforced rings for
hanging them on a rack. Instead of stacking and rolling
mats to store them out of the way, these mats hang easily
on the Hanging Mat Rack, which is also available from Power
Systems.
Made with a supportive closed-cell foam structure, these
5/8-inch thick mats provide excellent cushioning for any
activity. The nonslip, moisture-resistant surface is soft
to the touch and wipes clean with a damp cloth. These
practical mats are available in 56- and 72-inch lengths in
ocean blue and calypso berry.
The Premium Hanging Club Mat is one of more than 200 new
products introduced by Power Systems in its 2008 catalogs.

Paramount
Fitness: PFT-200A Functional Trainer
Paramount
Fitness Corp. Introduces Versatile New Dual-Weight
Stack Paramount PFT-200A Functional Trainer
The new PFT-200A Functional Trainer provides fitness
facilities, athletic training and physical therapy
facilities with a wide range of diverse exercises and
innovative commercial-grade features including convenient
horizontal and vertical adjustments, a large color coded
exercise guide, and a unique swivel pulley system.
The Paramount PFT-200A Functional Trainer presents a
virtually unlimited number of exercise choices with
dual-weight stacks that accommodate two exercisers or allow
a single exerciser to train each arm independently using
different resistance levels. Vertical exercise adjustments
are made easily with a conveniently positioned pull pin
assembly through 155º with 12 positions clearly marked A-L
on the adjustment disk. A concealed counterbalance system
offsets the weight of each arm during adjustment.
Horizontal exercise adjustments, using a convenient
spring-loaded foot pedal assembly, through 105º with 9
positions clearly marked 1-9 on the adjustment disk. The
large color coded exercise adjustment guide includes
step-by-step instructions with photographs illustrating
start and end positions of 18 primary exercise movements.
The compact Paramount PFT-200A design features a 39-inch x
64-inch stored footprint, durable 16-guage powder-coated
steel weight-stack enclosure, up to 85 lbs. of resistance
in 5 lb. increments and 7.5 feet of cable extension per
arm. An optional weight adder is available to reduce
increments to just 2.5 lb. Swivel pulleys with elastic
shock chord self align with user’s path of movement
insuring smooth cable travel and nearly unlimited range of
motion. Cable fittings with radial ball bearings eliminate
cable twist and allow for a smooth 360º handle rotation.
Internal cable system provides streamlined appearance and
eliminates user contact with cables.
Magnetic selector pins assure positive locking to weight
plates and are secured to weight stacks with thick
plastic-coated elastic cables. Custom molded feet insure
stability and prevent marring of flooring surfaces. An
optional Paramount Model XL-6700 bench, which adjusts from
10º decline to 85º incline, is ideal for lat pull down,
chest and shoulder press exercises. Additional options
include curl bar, triceps rope, ankle strap and straight
bar training accessories with convenient storage system.

STOTT PILATES®:
V2 Max Plus™
Reformer
Rehab Takes On A New Dimension With The STOTT
PILATES®
V2 Max Plus™ Reformer
The STOTT PILATES® V2 Max Plus™ Reformer is
revolutionizing rehabilitation programming within the
fitness industry.
This latest piece of equipment to emerge from STOTT PILATES
has been designed to help clients work against very gentle
tension and build up incrementally as strength increases.
The V2 Max Plus offers restriction-free movement and
unlimited programming possibilities. For a superior
workout, this piece of equipment allows the body to emulate
the free, multi-dimensional movement of daily life. Its
innovative vertical frame pulley system accommodates
three-dimensional range of motion, maintaining workout flow
and providing even, constant resistance without jarring.
The V2 Max Plus multi-tasks as a Mat, Reformer and
Cadillac, delivering unlimited exercise possibilities to
expand group and private programming options. This
all-in-one unit allows older clients and rehab patients to
work on balance while kneeling, lunging and standing – and
is higher off the ground for easier mounts and dismounts.
“The machine’s direction of resistance is variable, unlike
a traditional Reformer, providing additional support as
needed through the full-range of hip, shoulder and spinal
movement,” says Lindsay G. Merrithew, President & CEO
of STOTT PILATES and the inventor of the V2 Max Plus
Reformer.
“It’s perfect for facilities looking to implement
multi-faceted Pilates programming in a limited space.”

iTech
Fitness: GameCycle
The
iTech Fitness GameCycle merges upper body exercise with
the excitement and enjoyment of video games. The
participant uses their arms to crank and steer the
GameCycle through the racing games and motions using the
Nintendo Game Cube while facilitating cardiovascular
fitness, increasing upper body strength and endurance, and
improving hand-to-eye coordination.
The GameCycle is truly for all ages:
•For kids in schools or community centers, the GameCycle
lets them “play their way to better fitness”. The GameCycle
gives kids a challenge they love -- the challenge of
videogames. But, while playing the videogame, kids get a
great workout too.
•For Ys and JCCs, the GameCycle offers the kind of
innovative exercise outlet that brings people through the
door. While appealing to a general audience, the GameCycle
also makes your facility attractive to the growing
populations of people with mobility disabilities, seniors
and kids.
The GameCycle is user friendly with Quick Start features
(removing the barriers to game set-up), adjustable height,
forward and reverse crank options, a variety of handgrips
for varying hand function, and a smooth, electronic brake
for resistance that enables the user to adjust the
difficulty of the workout. The GameCycle may be set-up with
a screen mounted to the machine for easy placement and use
with any facility, or it may be set-up as another station
in the XRKade.

Flooring: Zero Carbon
Fitness
Flooring Develops “Zero Carbon” Flooring
Sample
When
prospects are searching for sports flooring, it is not at
all uncommon for them to request that samples of the
flooring system be sent to them in order to get a better
idea of the construction of the material. While it is
unlikely that this process will ever be eliminated, at
least buyers of sports surfaces have a new option that is
just a mouse click away. Fitness Flooring, in conjunction
with ASET Services of Salem, IN, has created a virtual and
carbon-free sample of its Exerflex Group Exercise
DIN-certified Flooring System. This virtual sample will
premiere on Fitness Flooring’s website On March
17th, at www.fitnessfloors.com/zerocarbon.htm.
The virtual sample contains solid models of all 3 major
components of the flooring system (solid hardwood surface,
tempered spring steel clip, multi-density aerobic foam
padding) and shows viewers how the parts are positioned and
connected within the assembly. Dr. Paul Elliott, Ph.D.,
P.E., of ASET Services comments that, “While this is not
new technology, this virtual sample allows viewers to do
something truly revolutionary – the viewer can rotate and
manipulate the sample just as though it is being viewed
through a CAD program. Those viewing the object can choose
from a variety of display modes from solid models to simply
outlines, they can also make individual parts transparent
or hide them from view totally.”
Physical sampling has long been a standard component of the
sales prospect, especially when presenting to architects
and specifiers. As Steve Chase, General Manager of Fitness
Flooring, states “We don’t expect that this virtual sample
will replace the need to have physical samples available,
but it does better illustrate a product than words or
static drawings alone can. Because the user can so easily
manipulate the sample through the use of this technology,
we hope to reduce the number of samples that we submit,
which reduces not only the amount of product that is lost
to sampling, but also the attendant transport costs, both
financial and environmentally, that would normally be
incurred.”
The zero-carbon sample provides the ability to manipulate
the 3-D model through the use of new Adobe Acrobat
technology and users can view the virtual model just as
though they have installed a 3-D CAD program on their
computer.
Fitness Flooring provides a number of quality sports
surfacing options to fitness and recreational facilities
nationwide, including the Exerflex Group Exercise flooring
system. For more information contact Fitness Flooring at
800-428-5306, or email at sales@fitnessfloors.com.

Expresso Fitness: S2r Recumbent Bike
Expresso
Fitness®
Launches Interactive Recumbent Bike
Expresso Fitness®, a leading developer of
Web-enabled cardio fitness systems, is launching the S2r™,
the company’s first recumbent stationary bike.
The S2r is the first bike of its type to fuse Web-based
exer-gaming features with a customized workout experience.
It provides riders with the advantages of a low-profile
machine and a 19-inch wide screen for viewing the Company’s
signature Tours and Chases.
The Expresso Recumbent Bike allows gym members to change
the pace of their everyday workout and choose different
styles of interactive stationary bikes, as well as choose
off-road games or road tours, in addition to selecting the
standard non-interactive option of watching television.
Additional features of the Expresso Recumbent Bike include
a comfortable ergonomic seat and back rest that
accommodates a wide range of rider types, and a lower,
walk-through design that enhances stability and permits
riders to easily get on and off. The handles of the
bike come equipped with integrated steering and shifting
mechanisms.
All Expresso Bikes offer riders the option to race against
their best personal time with the Ghost ride feature, use a
Pacer to gauge their individual progress, ride
cooperatively with friends or compete in real-time against
virtual competitors or friends in the same fitness
facility. They can also watch TV or listen to the
latest in Internet music. After working out, riders
can visit www.expresso.net
to check their
results, track their progress or see where they rank on
the global or facility-based Leader Boards. Since
Expresso Bikes are connected to the Internet, fitness
facilities are always equipped with the latest Tours,
Chases and software upgrades.
