THE IRRESISTABLE PULL OF GRAVITY

World Gym Hayden OFFERS INNOVATIVE NEW FITNESS SYSTEM World Gym Hayden is proud to introduce the new GRAVITYSystem this week, giving club members a chance to experience Group Strength Training, Pilates, and Personal Training on the innovative GTS equipment.

World Gym Hayden has joined the growing movement of health clubs offering the new gravity-based training system by efi Sports Medicine. The 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," said Julie Larrison, Fitness Director. "Those who didn't 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."

GRAVITYSystem classes were piloted at Crunch Mission Viejo, where Rob Glick, Crunch's Regional Group Fitness Director in Orange County, California, said members line up for the classes.

"Crunch 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," he added.

The GRAVITYSystem's four 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 individual's 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:

• GRAVITYGroup
  These exciting thirty-minute strength classes heat up all the major muscle groups for a total body workout. Each participant works at his/her chosen level of resistance, while enjoying the challenge and camaraderie of a group setting. The class delivers effective and efficient workouts and is particularly attractive to exercisers who traditionally focus on cardio training but want to make time for a fun, efficient strength workout
• 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 members' recent physical therapy treatment.
