Tuesday & Wednesday, Feb.28th & 29th:
All areas closed these 2 days. The new equipment will be installed!!!
The Pool and Athletic Committee and Athletic Center staff chose the following pieces because we believe they are the correct mix of exercise performance, ease of use, entertainment value, appearance, reviews, and warranties:
5, Matrix Treadmills with integrated TV’s, i-device connectivity, fans, and dual controls
4, Matrix Ascent Trainers with integrated TV’s, i-device connectivity, fans, and dual controls
2, Matrix Recumbent Bikes with integrated TV’s, i-device connectivity, fans, dual controls and step through design
2, Matrix Upright Bikes with integrated TV, i-device connectivity, fans, and dual controls
2, Matrix Rowers (no TV’s available. We will use TV’s on wall)
2, Octane Ellipticals with above-console TV (no integrated TV available), i-device connectivity, and fans
1, Precor Adaptive Motion Trainer (AMT) with above-console TV (no integrated TV available), i-device connectivity, and fans
7, Matrix/Livestrong E-series spin bikes for classes.
We also chose to keep one “old” Precor treadmill, elliptical, and recumbent bike for our members who would feel more comfortable with more familiar equipment.
For weight equipment we will keep most of it but decided to exchange our Cybex Olympic decline bench, Olympic flat bench , and Olympic incline bench, for 2 Hoist adjustable (decline-to-flat-to-incline) Olympic benches. This gives you much more flexibility in your workout at a third less space. With this extra space we’ll add a Hoist squat rack. We will also exchange the chin-dip/leg raise bench (which is too hard for many members to use) with a weight assisted chin-dip machine. This new machine will allow you to selectively counterbalance your weight with the machine’s weight stack so even the weakest member can effectively use it. Think of it as anti-gravity. Lastly we’ve added a Cybex leg press machine to complete our line of weight machines.
