The GRAVITY SYSTEM
Q. How can club members experience results so quickly from 30-minute workouts with the GRAVITY SYSTEM?
A. There are several reasons:
•
You'll get exercises on GTS® that combine both stretch and flexion to create a comprehensive effect for defining and strengthening in a short time span.
•
Both the dynamic pulley system and the
rolling glideboard encourage your body to move naturally and synergistically-challenging multiple muscle groups at the same time, for an effective, quick full-body workout.
• You'll find it easy to fit a 30-minute workout into a busy schedule.
• You'll love the quick, noticeable results!
Q. What are some of the main features that make GTS different from other equipment?
A.With GTS features you'll get:
• a rolling glideboard that fully supports your spine
• a dynamic unilateral-bilateral pulley system that encourages movement in all three planes
• full joint range of motion and resistance from 5% to 59% of body weight
• the GTS pulley system, where resistance remains constant through the full range of motion.
• eight calibrated resistance levels to make it easy to find a workout suitable for your fitness level.
Q. Does the GRAVITY SYSTEM work the core in virtually every exercise?
A. Yes. Exercise on GTS recruits the muscles of the core, thanks to the dynamic instability introduced by the rolling glideboard.
In simplest terms, exercising on the rolling glideboard recruits the muscles of the core in order to stabilise the trunk during most of the upper body exercises.
You'll gain overall core strength, even when your focus is on a specific muscle group.
Q. How can the GRAVITY SYSTEM be adapted to personal training?
A. Trainers can provide focused attention to two or three clients at a time, each on a GTS. This semi-private and small group instruction offers cost-savings to clients.
Q. How can the GRAVITY SYSTEM be adaptable to post-rehab?
A. Exercise on GTS provides partial weight-bearing and progressive weight-bearing closed-chain exercise, which is especially applicable to GRAVITYPost-rehab clientele
Q. Why is the GRAVITY SYSTEM unlike other methods and systems?
A. With the GRAVITY SYSTEM you'll get:
one versatile piece of equipment that engages all five components of exercise:
• body composition
• muscular endurance
• cardio endurance
• muscular strength
• flexibility
• excercises that work every major muscle group in a functional manner, whatever your age or fitness level
• calibrated resistance so you can easily chart your progress
• a constant resistance that doesn't vary from beginning to middle to end range of motion
• the freedom to create the most functional movement pattern imaginable
Q. What is Incline Resistance Training?
A. Incline Resistance Training on Total Gym® or GTS® provides a workout and results that cannot be achieved on any other piece of equipment.
Quite literally, participants use their body weight as resistance against the pull of gravity.
The process of this activity, this controlled movement of the body through the gravitational force on a free-rolling glideboard, encourages an unrestricted free flow of multi-plane movement that recruits multiple muscle groups synergistically while working the core stabilisers.
Over 200 biomechanically-correct exercises make it the most versatile piece of fitness equipment offering fresh and challenging training sessions.
