Specialized Personal Training Cybex Bravo Advanced

Bravo Advanced Functional Trainer

Written by Luis Echeverry on . Posted in Driven Announcements, Personal Training, Studio, Transformation.

Another awesome piece of equipment that will be arriving at our new personal training and wellness studio in South Tampa Hyde Park – the Cybex Bravo Advanced Functional Trainer.  This training equipment can be used by the every day client looking to get back in shape, rehab formats, and or for the avid athlete looking to get stronger using the progressive stabilization component.

CHANGING THE GAME

The unique patent-pending design adds two key features to revolutionize training applications – the Progressive Stabilization system, which allows the user to incrementally modify the stabilization provided, and the Cable Width Adjustment, which results in innumerable height and width configurations, giving the most creative trainers unlimited exercise possibilities.

PROGRESSIVE STABILIZATION

The unique Progressive Stabilization system adjusts for height and horizontal position, offering maximum stabilization (like selectorized equipment) or free standing movement (like most functional trainers). The Bravo Advanced's Progressive Stabilization system can also be positioned for partial stability, introducing specific challenges for different functional tasks. Systematic destabilization allows trainers to create programming which builds strength and skills in a progressive, highly effective manner, offering new challenges as users' capabilities grow.

COMPLETE CONTROL

The advanced cable adjustment system lets not only the height of the cable to be adjusted, but also the width between cables. This means the direction of resistance can be completely controlled. The versatility creates almost endless training possibilities – and only Cybex has it.

Whether upper body, lower body, isolated, or fully integrated, the only limitation to the Bravo is the user’s imagination. Available in the standard 2:1 configurations for most applications, or in 4:1 configurations for sports performance and rehabilitation applications.

Don’t be Intimidated! Start your Tampa Fitness Program NOW

Written by Luis Echeverry on . Posted in Lifestyle, Personal Training, Transformation.

Intimidated by Gyms but want to get started with a Tampa fitness program?

We have all seen the Facebook posts of the sweaty guy flexing in the mirror or the not so shy female prancing around the gym like a cheetah.  Even if your the not so excited type but still want a comfortable way to start your fitness journey without feeling judged or out of place your answer maybe to hire the best personal trainer in Tampa.

Here are the top 10 reasons from the American Council on Exercise of reasons for hiring a personal trainer:

  1. Motivation – Personal trainers wear many hats, serving not only as coach, but as an educator, confidant, role model and a major source of motivation and encouragement as well.
  2. Consistency – Do you find it difficult to stick to your program? Scheduling regular appointments with a personal trainer helps eliminate any excuses you might come up with for not exercising.
  3. Safety – Unsure about how to use the chest press machine at the gym or how to perform walking lunges without hurting your knees? A personal trainer will show you how to exercise safely (including which exercises to avoid) and instruct you on the proper and safe use of exercise equipment.
  4. Individualized Instruction – What works for one person, may not work for another when it comes to choosing an exercise program. A personal trainer will develop the most effective program for you based on your fitness evaluation results and personal goals. Beginners in particular benefit from instruction on how to perform specific exercises and program planning.
  5. Effective Workouts – Today’s hectic lifestyles mean you don’t have time to waste on ineffective exercise routines. Personal trainers help maximize your time by providing workouts designed to meet your goals quickly and efficiently.
  6. Supervision – Personal attention during exercise is the primary function of personal trainers. Need someone to spot you while you do pull-ups? Looking for feedback on your running form? No problem-that’s what your personal trainer is for-to observe, assist and, if necessary, correct as needed.
  7. Sports-specific Training – Many amateur and professional athletes work with a personal trainer during the off-season to prepare themselves for in-season competition. Whether you want to shave some strokes off your golf score or beat your brother-in-law at tennis, a personal trainer can tailor your program to your sport of choice.
  8. Injury Rehabilitation – Injuries and accidents can prevent you from participating in your favorite activities. An experienced personal trainer, however, can make the road to recovery a smooth one by recommending exercises that emphasize overall muscular balance to prevent future injuries.
  9. Special-needs Training – Research confirms that individuals with health challenges such as diabetes, asthma, osteoporosis or heart disease benefit greatly from regular physical activity. These conditions, however, can make exercising safely a challenge. Many personal trainers are experienced in designing programs that address the special needs of these and other conditions.
  10. Ego Boost – It’s a fact-feeling good makes you look good, and vice versa. Not only can your personal trainer help you achieve your health and fitness goals, they provide you with positive feedback on your performance and bolster your confidence to take on new challenges.
    Whether your looking to shed pounds, build muscle, tone up or feel healthier our team of experts can help you with all the above benefits so please do not hesitate to drop us a line ask us a question or come in for a free consultation to discuss options for getting your fitness journey started today.

The approach of sending workouts directly to my watch and the personalized support provided has been a game-changer in achieving my personal best at the half marathon distance.
