PUTTING UP A RESISTANCE


NEW LOOK FOR LIFE

Life Fitness’ new Insignia Series of selectorised strength equipment has been designed with form and function in mind, offering fully customisable options.

Available in summer 2014, the range of 21 products replaces Life Fitness’ Signature Series, providing a new look, improved feel and upgraded features, with enhanced biomechanics used in the design of the range. Machines such as the chest press and shoulder press feature independent movements to ensure both the left and right sides of the body perform equal amounts of work.

STRONG PERFORMANCE

SportsArt’s new entry-level strength range launched in the UK last month. The Performance Series line will arrive in the country from the company’s factory in Taiwan ahead of the first club installation, expected to take place in autumn 2014.

The range has been designed to be easy to use, providing both quality and value for any budget; in spite of its entry-level positioning and price point, each unit in the Performance Series line has been built using high quality materials. Every UK installation will also receive a three-year parts and service warranty. The new equipment will initially be on show at the company’s UK headquarters.
