Specialized Fitness Introduces Four New Pieces of Equipment in Time for Holiday Season

Miami, FL (PRWEB) December 23, 2011

According to an article by the New York Times, a person of average weight can gain about one pound over the course of the holiday season. However, an overweight person can expect to put on between one and five pounds. Specialized Fitness Resources has recently added four different products into their online inventory to help those looking to kick off the New Year on the lighter side. The Matrix Livestrong E and S Series Cycles and Matrix and Concept2 rowers are now available for purchase and make the perfect gift for anyone looking to increase their health and physical well-being in the coming year.

The Livestrong E Series Cycle can help any cyclist stay in shape during the off season and help to reduce injury when returning to outdoor training in the spring. With its many advanced features, and compact body-style, the cycle can be easily placed in a home gym for extra convenience.

Some of the Matrix Livestrong E Series Cycle features include: Dual speed pedal and cage designed with both beginner and experienced users in mind, high performance belt for smooth and quiet ride, 40lb balanced flywheel to generate speed and power, integrated sweat guard to prevent rust and corrosion, cantilevered brake resistance system, Kevlar belt system, combination SPD-compatible pedals and micro-adjustable drop handlebar.

For a private or public gym that seems to have all the cardiovascular and weight lighting essentials, a rower is the perfect combination, of the two, to provide some resistance training for the upper body and cardiovascular exercise to maintain strong heart health.

The Concept2 Model D Indoor Rower features include: PM3 or PM4 (which comes with a rechargeable battery and Garmin chest belt for heart rate monitoring) performance monitor, minimizing flywheel design that maximizes a smooth feel of rowing on the water, ergonomic handle to promote natural arm and hand positioning, adjustable monitor arm for compact storage, quick and easy sizing with Flexfoot footrests, compact storage, complete with required tools.

Specialized Fitness Resources carries these equipment models as well as many more to further develop any level of home gym. They also provide sports surfacing to protect the floor beneath gym equipment and work-out area.

?We can do a home gym all the way to a super gym such as LA Fitness. We?ve done celebrity home gyms as well, such as Shaq and Silvestor Stallone?s gyms to name a few,? said, CEO of Specialized Fitness Resources, Ozzie Lopez.

Future Fitness Sees Opportunity in Bally Gym Closings

West Berlin, N.J. (PRWEB) December 30, 2011

When Bally Total Fitness announced the sale of 171 of its clubs to former rival LA Fitness in November, the news came as an unpleasant surprise to Bally members in New Jersey, where Bally?s five facilities were among those affected ? with two closing and three transitioning into LA Fitness clubs. Although LA Fitness agreed to honor Bally memberships, many disenfranchised Bally members considered the locations of the clubs too inconvenient to be compliant with their fitness regiment.

Enter Future Fitness. The locally owned business operates six centers throughout New Jersey ? two of which are near the closed Bally locations ? and is inviting former Bally members to come see what they have to offer. Company president Scott Caris says the advantages to membership in Future Fitness include individualized sessions by nationally certified personal trainers and exercise physiologists, a wide variety of state-of-the-art equipment, free fitness classes, a supervised nursery with video observation and strict standards of cleanliness.

?We?ve had hundreds of Bally members coming in over the weeks since the transitions and closings, and they see the difference as soon as they walk into our clubs,? says Caris. ?We are a locally owned business managed daily by the owners, which results in a focus on detail and a commitment to helping our members achieve their personal fitness goals. We?re part of this community and know our members. A national franchise can?t make the same kind of connection. We?re proud to have the lowest dropout rate in America.?

Caris also reports traffic to the Future Fitness website, http://www.futurefitnesscenters.com, has increased by more than 25 percent since the Bally transition.

Says Caris, ?We want all former Bally members who feel blindsided by the sudden change to know that Future Fitness is here for them, and ready to work with them to achieve and maintain an even healthier lifestyle than ever.?
