THE FITNESS ARCH |
|
|
|
The
Fitness Arch is an innovative piece of medical exercise equipment designed
for the needs of people with physical limitations. It is different from
existing fitness equipment in a number of critical ways:
|
|
•
SAFE: The key benefit of The Fitness Arch is that it
reduces the risk of falls while improving balance and strengthening the body.
This is done by locking the exercise bars to protect from falls, allowing
users to feel safe while exercising. Safety equals increased
participation.
•
ACCESSIBLE: The
Fitness Arch is the only machine of its kind that accommodates any type of
chair, wheelchair, scooter or a fitness ball. It eliminates the need of manual
transfers from one machine to another that can be difficult for those with
physical limitations as well as for those who help them. This
encourages exercise participation as well as reduces the personnel costs for
equipment transfer.
|
• COMPREHENSIVE: The Fitness Arch provides total body strength,
cardiovascular, flexibility and balance training in both sitting and standing
positions. The resistance for the exercises is provided by resistance bands,
while the patent-pending exercise bars allow users to easily change
resistance without exchanging bands. The advantage to the facility is that
The Fitness Arch’s versatility eliminates the need for numerous pieces of
other equipment, thus saving money.
• USER-FRIENDLY: The Fitness Arch has been designed with both users
and trainers in mind. Every detail, from the ergonomic design to the
safety of the bands is being tested and approved by medical doctors,
trainers, therapists and users.
• COMPACT: Space is at a premium in facilities. The Fitness
Arch folds in seconds to a small footprint, and can be easily moved by
tipping it onto its two wheels. This is particularly important for
those facilities that are planning to offer a fitness program, but have
limited or no dedicated space available.
