Game-changing 2-in-1 cardio machines
Perhaps one of the greatest advantages of a multifunctional cardio machine includes the space savings offered by the machine. Rather than having to find space for a rower and a ski-erg which together take about 40sqft, you can have the same functionality in a single machine in less than 25sqft. This is just one of the wonderful options I am going to share with you in this blog today.
So up first we already briefly touched on the brand new SKI-ROW AIR+PWR by ENERGYFIT! It is a first-of-its-kind dual-function High-Intensity Interval Training machine. Its flexibility, space-saving design, and mobility are ideal for all types of HIIT boxes, training studios, home gyms, and vertical markets. The SKI-ROW can be used for rowing-only or skiing-only workouts, but its true value is revealed by enabling mixed-erg workouts and alternative exercise modalities. A simple foot-lever press enables the switch from rower to ski trainer and back in less than 5 seconds. FEATURES A Magnetic Brake offers 20 additional levels of smooth resistance to challenge even the fittest athletes. Heart-Pounding air-flywheel resistance will match your effort stroke for stroke Gas-assist cylinder helps lift the beam and lowers it slowly to the ground Rust-proof extruded-aluminum seat-slider beam convenient front-mounted transport wheels Bluetooth & ANT+ Heart Rate Connectivity Adjustable foot straps. This machine is a must-have for anyone looking for a quick, HIIT type of cardio!
Up next we have Stairmaster 10G
THE HARDEST WORKOUT IN THE GYM JUST GOT HARDER.
The StairMaster 10G marks a revolutionary shift in stair-climbing technology. The innovative new design features the OverDrive Training Mode that simulates carrying or pushing a load upstairs, for the most intense climbing workout. The 10G’s advancements all focus on delivering the best climbing experience ever created. User-focused features include the widest and deepest stepping surface and lowest step-up height in the industry, ergonomic handrails to support multiple climbing positions and an all-new drive train that delivers smooth, quiet performance. It will make your other stair mills seem easy.
What would a gym be without the trusty treadmill… But why do we have to keep putting in the same old same old? Instead, experience 'What's Next' with the new Freemotion SMARTSERIES™ powered by iFIT®. The i10.9b Incline Trainer features -3% decline, +30% incline and easy-to-use 1-STEP™ Controls for HIIT training. The console powered by iFIT® goes from simple to interactive when synced with a user's smart device. You get the luxury of the treadmill but with a built-in mountain plus the very best virtual personal trainers to boot! A high incline treadmill tones the muscles much faster, improving quads, hamstrings, glutes and also ankle strength. A higher incline tones muscles and burns calories 5 times quicker for fast fat loss.
No one is the king of combos like Octane fitness. They are constantly innovating to launch new and unique movements while saving space. I’d say the Octane XtOne is the number one machine to maximize your cardio floor space. The XT-One allows users to walk, run, hike or climb all on one machine. Instead of installing multiple machines to fulfill the different modalities - you now can purchase the XT-One.
The Octane LateralX is similar but with a lateral movement. Did you ever notice 99% of cardio machines move in a linear motion pattern? Well not the LateralX, it’s a unique machine designed to help users strengthen their lateral muscle groups. LateralX utilizes varying planes of motion, including a stepping movement and adjustable, side-to-side motion, for functional exercise that builds stamina, muscular endurance and core stability. Research shows a 27% increase in caloric expenditure going from lateral width 1 to lateral width 10, and a 30% increase in outer and inner thigh work over traditional ellipticals. The variety within the movements keeps exercisers motivated and enjoying workouts! It truly outperforms all other knockoffs, so don’t even waste your money, just go with the best right out of the gate with this one.
Octane also designed a unique xride machine called the XR6000. It is a full-body zero impact machine focusing on push/pull movements all while sitting. The oversized pedals with soft grip texture offer various comfortable foot placements to target muscle groups when pedaling forward or backward, and stationary foot pegs make it simple to periodically take the legs out of the workout and concentrate on upper-body only exercises. Exercisers can capitalize on the patented MultiGrip handlebars to customize their hand position and better engage the upper body for greater workout effectiveness and results. This machine, I’ll admit, I was skeptical I could get a good workout on, but then I was put through the workout booster and this thing kicked my butt! I was shocked and have been a huge fan ever since.
So those are my top Game-Changing 2-in-1 cardio machines I think every gym should have. Or if you are limited at home, one of these could give you more of what you need in fewer square feet. Contact me if you are interested in any of these amazing machines.
