Recently, we have seen a resurgence of Circuit Training to accommodate the needs of time constrained exercisers. Life Fitness has created new and exciting ways to incorporate Circuit Training into facilities to satisfy the various populations served today.
Life Fitness developed the Circuit Series product line to provide a resistance-training solution to appeal to a wide variety of users regardless of exercise experience or fitness level. Some of these users include teen health seekers, adult health seekers, the ready-to-be fit family, older adults, individuals seeking to manage weight, and time-constrained exercisers.
Circuit Series offers a solution to appeal to your traditional and non-traditional facility users with a range of applications:
- Circuit Series enables membership-based facilities to attract and retain non-traditional fitness facility users. Applications might include an entry-level circuit on the main fitness floor, group exercise classes or a segregated area for women only or new users. The ease of use of the Circuit Series products will be particularly appealing to older adults and youth.
- Circuit Series can also help attract and retain more traditional fitness facility users by providing a time-efficient, effective workout. The variety and ability to achieve specific goals (such as balance, flexibility, agility, improved upper body strength, etc.) may attract a disinterested or straying member while a cardio-only user may be interested by the ease of adding strength training to his/her workout.
- Circuit Series machines can be used as an “express” circuit or can be augmented by a nearly unlimited number of transition exercises that can be done in between each machine. The length of time allowed to perform the machine exercise and the transition exercise, as well as the time to transition from one to another, can also be used to customize the intensity of workouts for particular user groups or goals.
The Life Fitness Transition Exercise Workout System gives instructors the ability to pair Circuit Series machines with transition exercises and to create custom workouts. This enables facilities to attract new non-traditional users, adapt to meet the changing needs of users and create ancillary revenue sources for personal training and paid programming.
The Transition Exercise Workout System is comprised of four different Transition Exercise Kits. Each kit contains ten instructional exercise placards, which are grouped together to help participants achieve a particular fitness goal.
The flexibility of this unique system allows the instructor to:
Create new and exciting workouts by changing the order of the Transition Exercise Placards
Customize Workout intensity to meet the needs of participants:
- Modify Transition Time from station to station
- Adjust Machine Station Time
- Alter Transition Exercise Time
- Vary the number of times each circuit is completed
Integrate other Circuit Series Exercise Kits to expand the goals and variety of Circuit Series Workouts
The four Circuit Series Placard Kits that complement the Circuit Series Program Manual are:
- Strength & Cardio (steps needed)
- Strength & Cardio (no accessories needed)
- Strength & Stretch (no accessories needed)
- Strength Plus (accessories needed)
The Transition Exercise Workout System greatly expands the flexibility and variety of programs that your facility can offer in conjunction with the Circuit Series machines. The Circuit Series Program Manual, Transition Exercise Placards and Transition Stands provide a unique, versatile solution that allows you to use ready-to-use workouts or create your own programs to meet the needs of your unique users no matter their age, fitness level, or goals. Exercisers can truly enjoy a total-body workout that they can call their own. Instructors and personal trainers will find it easy to regularly implement new Circuit Series Workouts for their classes and their clients.
