The new SMS (Standing Movement Solutions) circuit system from NessFit is based around a set of 10 moveable, selectorised stations to work the whole body from a natural standing position.
There are no seats or start positions to adjust, allowing for fast transitions from one machine to the next.
While the SMS is primarily designed as a fast-paced toning circuit, the natural standing posture has also proved very popular for functional training among older users.
The selectorised nature of the units means each user can choose the intensity of their own workout, allowing for a mix of young and old, fit and deconditioned in the same class.
Class structure is also straightforward: choose an appropriate soundtrack, set a time per station (usually from 30 seconds to two minutes), and add a warm-up and cool-down stretch.
To create a larger circuit or to add a more aerobic element to the session, the SMS circuit can be interspersed with FitWalker treadmills.
These - the FitWalker and FitWalker Advanced - are small footprint group workout treadmills that can be used by all ages and fitness levels; the less fit in the group can choose a lower intensity setting but still engage in the same workout as the fitter members.
With its unique frame design, FitWalkers can be easily wheeled and stored in less space than group cycling bikes; they carry a similar price point to bikes.
Side-to-side and combination movements, both on and off the oversized deck, enhance motivation and entertainment value.
Add in the hydraulic incline adjustment on the Advanced machine and a whole new dimension of intensity levels can be built in to the workout.
