The latest range of universal movement fitness equipment which will attract a whole new group of gym users.
The focus of Kinesis, which means 'movement' in Greek, is to reproduce free flowing, natural movements.
It has a patented series of cables, grips and weight stacks, which are designed to enable users to perform over 250 resistance-based movements.
What's more, the system positions the user at the centre of the exercise experience, as all technology and mechanisms are hidden behind a wooden wall. This results in a calming, machine-free environment, which not only looks good but also creates ample space for different exercises.
A touch-screen video is also provided to guide users and personal trainers through the numerous exercise possibilities.
Kinesis is exercise for people who don't just want strength or cardio, but who want movement. Through Kinesis, it is possible to creat free movement and still get resistance. Indeed, it's even possible to create movements that cannot be achieved with fixed weight machines.
The aim of Kinesis is to allow the user to create free flowing, natural movements with a series of cables, patented grips and stacks.
Normal gym equipment gives the option for about 50 different movements - with Kinesis it's possible to do more than 250. The outcome is increased strength and flexibility as well as increased skill in areas like balance, co-ordination and dexterity.
Kinesis is for people who do not get on well with technology. It's a human-centric approach with the person in the centre and the technology out of sight.
Users stand rather than sit while exercising, which is intended to increase the effectiveness of the workout and as Kinesis encourages different movements of the body it engages the mind as well.
When people discover their own body they say it is a whole new experience. After a training session with Kinesis, people have a new outlook on their capacity to move and to enjoy dynamic exercise.
Most people are aware that their health and quality of life can be enhanced by physical activity. They will choose to increase physical activity when they believe it will provide the benefits they seek in a way that feels inspiring to them.
New ways of conditioning the body that will inspire joy in movement, confidence and more satisfying ways of living will be the key to reaching these people. They need to be attracted and retained by a stimulating experience that will guarantee:
