WE’RE HAVING A “WEIGHTY” TRANSFORMATION
By Andy Glickman
We’re springing into
action by completing revitalizing our
weight equipment. MBS has always been on
the cutting edge of the fitness industry, so we’re bringing to Boca
the latest in weight training technology.
It has always been our mission at Michael's
Body Scenes to create the best fitness experience around. Remaining
focused on continual improvement has been essential to our survival
in a highly competitive marketplace. Our goal is to combine a
success oriented atmosphere with state of the art programming and
equipment to create a positive environment where members can reach
their individual fitness goals.
Improving in this industry means staying on
the cutting edge when it comes to equipment and programming. Our
outstanding group exercise program is an excellent example of this
club’s commitment to being the best. We have always been, and will
continue to be, well ahead of the competition in offering the most
current, innovative, and exciting classes available. We apply this
process of improvement to everything we do. Not long ago we became
one of the first clubs to offer interactive entertainment in our
cardio area including Internet access. In addition we now offer all
of the latest training techniques including functional and core
training equipment.
We are very exited about a new generation of
strength equipment to be installed that will create the most
up-to-date weight room in the area. Even our newest competition
cannot claim a more current or technologically advanced line-up.
Some of the pieces have just been introduced as recently as this
past December and no one else in the area has them.
Our new equipment will be extremely user
friendly and specially designed to ensure ease of use and proper
body alignment.
For those in the know, the selectorized
equipment is made by LifeFitness, a recognized leader in the
industry. We’ve chosen select pieces of equipment from their
Signature Series and their Pro 2 SE line of strength
training equipment.
While our “old” equipment is still
top-of-the-line for many gyms, we think you’ll find the new pieces
much easier to use. It will be easier to change seat position,
resistance and increase or decrease range of motion.
Some of the features of the
Signature Series include:
Converging and diverging axis that correctly
align with the user’s joint movement to provide a natural more
comfortable feel throughout the range of motion.
Comfortable contoured cushions
A unique incremental weight system, which is
integrated into the stack that allows users to simply turn a dial
for gradual increases in their resistance program.
The following Signature
Series pieces have been selected:
Chest Press:
Converging press arms produce a more natural forward press

Shoulder
Press: Counterbalancing reduces the
starting resistance level.
Lat Pulldown:
Diverging movement for a natural downward pulling exercise pattern
with angled pads for greater stabilization.
Triceps Press:
Angled back, easy access, and oversized 2 position dip style
handles
Glute Trainer:
Upright, comfortable, and non-intimidating body maximizing full
range of motion for greater muscle stimulation.
The Pro 2 SE Series
is user friendly and made tough with exceptional biomechanics. The
easy to use features have been designed with the member in mind.
These feature include:
Fully integrated incremental weight system
attached to the guide rods that gives exercisers the flexibility
to train using smaller 5 lb. increments,
Seat adjustments that are convenient and can
easily be operated without getting out of the machine,
Easy to follow instructional placards
illustrating proper use and muscles trained.
We have chosen the following
pieces to round out our selectorized area:

Upper Body:
Chest Press, Pectoral Fly/Rear Deltoid, Seated Row, Lateral Raise,
Abdominal Crunch, Back Extension, and Biceps Curl
Lower Body: Leg
Press, Leg Extension, Lying Leg Curl, Seated Leg Curl, Hip
abduction/adduction, Horizontal Calf Raise.
The $100,000 facelift includes
Hammer Strength equipment--the #1 brand of plate loaded equipment in
the world with the most advanced strength training technologies in
the industry.
The plate loaded selections
from the Hammer Strength line are:
 Chest Press & Shoulder Press:
These two pieces allow the user to move both arms at the same time,
at one time, alternating, or with different weights for each.
Pullover: Motion
technology pioneered by Hammer Strength has been applied to analyze
and simulate the natural patterns of the body in motion.
Seated Calf. As
with all of their machines, this piece has been computer designed to
provide the most ergonomically correct path of motion.

Back Extension:
Durable and solid with simple to use adjustments
Along with Hammer Strength for
the free weight area, we will be adding Hoist equipment—a leader in
the strength industry for over 25 years. These include free weight
benches, squat racks, Smith machines and leg presses that are
solidly built and comfortable to use.


You’re going to love the state-of-the-art
composite motion leg press that uses state-of-the-art technology to
stabilize the torso and lower body to move simultaneously while
performing the exercise. We’re the only gym to have this machine in
the area!
Again from the Hoist line, we’re adding a
completely new piece of equipment. It’s a rotary torso machine with
a 180 degree of rotation to work your obliques and develop core
strength.
Last but not least, we’re adding pieces from
Magnum Fitness Systems for the serious athlete. The new products
include cool-looking Sure-Grip Rubber Coated Olympic Plates that
feature a six-hole pattern that provides three opposing handgrip
positions and dumbbell racks that are attractive and sturdy.
We’re going to place all the new equipment in
a very user-friendly manner so you will feel comfortable right from
the start.
There are instructional placards on each piece
that shows you how to use it. And of course, you can always schedule
an orientation with one of our floor trainers if you’re unsure about
a particular piece.
Besides all the brand new toys to play with,
in we will also be upgrading the overall look of the club. We have
just installed new carpet throughout and we’re resurfacing the
entire strength training section of the weight room. We’re
installing Everoll recycled rubber flooring that’s virtually
indestructible and easy to maintain.
We truly do appreciate all our loyal members
and we’re proud to revamp our weight room to better serve all of
you. Getting better and having our members’ fitness and lives
improve is the ultimate measure of our success. We’re always getting
better so that you can, too!
