Beautiful outside and strong inside, the range of fitness products from Technogym are designed to ensure maximum comfort and great results. The latest from the house is the Jog Now treadmill that enjoys a compact make and an elegant style. Part of the company’s Excite + range, the Jog Now is dedicated to those who are looking for high performance from an easy-to-use treadmill. It makes running on a treadmill a lot easier and more enjoyable.
The Jog Now is easily accessible, thanks to its low deck height of 8 inches. You can plug in your iPod or an USB key to watch videos, listen to your favorite tracks or enjoy the pictures on the treadmill’s 15” Visio display. The safety features include the In Motion system, which tells you the right time to step safely on the running surface by giving a red light signal. The high-contrast display features large buttons and gives you feedback on parameters like the amount of calories burned, distance covered, heart rate and training goal achievement. The Technogym Jog Now treadmill has also won the prestigious Red Dot Design Award.
Getting a computer geek to exercise outside playing Kinect, is near impossible. But Technogym’s VisioWeb is about to change all of that. This treadmill has a “tablet” on its handlebars that will let you update your Faceook Status, browse the web, watch YouTube videos, read Emails, watch TV shows, listen to radio, and even play games while you work out. Oh, and it also lets you create a personalized workout program and you can save your workout data on the device too. Plus it comes with a video library that will help explain how to use the equipment properly. But they didn’t just throw a tablet onto a treadmill, they have created a touch-sensitive gui with big clear icons that are designed to be easy to use while you’re working out. The LCD itself is available in a 19″ or 15.4″ version. Unfortunately it seems like this product is meant to be a commercial product for professional gyms, and there is no pricing available for it. But boy, we want one! It might actually get us to do some exercise!
Kinesis Personal is a piece of fitness equipment like no other. Built into a wall, the virtually flat structure is 3.5 square metres in size and allows over 200 resistance-based exercises using a system of grips, cables and weight stacks which together ensure absolute fluidity of movement. Designed by internationally acclaimed Antonio Citterio, Kinesis Personal combines striking form with functionality. Its compact size allows it to integrate perfectly into the home, office, hotel room or spa and it provides the means for diverse, coordinated resistance training.
The compact grace of the equipment is engineered for strength, flexibility and balance focused workouts. Kinesis Personal moves the body and the mind – allowing its user to return to original movement – back to the basics of how the body is made to flow. It takes what the body does naturally, adds resistance and calculates a formula that ends in an experience humming with movement. Inspired by nature and science, Kinesis Personal fits with the Technogym philosophy of wellness melding good nutrition, movement and positive thought. Technology takes second place and puts the human back in control. For more information just visit the website below.
