Cybex actually started as a maker of rehabilitation equipment in the 1960’s under a different company name. After going out of that business, they decided to go into the exercise equipment industry. They offer more than 175 exercise machines for individuals and gyms. In the commercial market, they are considered to have state-of-the-art technology in their equipment.
The Cybex brand covers three main areas of exercise equipment: cardiovascular, strength and total access.
In the cardiovascular product line there are cross trainers, treadmills and bikes. Strength training builds muscles using functional training, free weights, modular and selectorized machines. Total access products are designed for disabled and able people to get workouts for strength and cardiovascular exercise at the same time.
Most of their equipment comes with a 15” TV attached allowing for entertainment while you workout. This of course makes the exercise less boring and bearable if you have an issue with being entertained while you exercise in a stationary position.
While Cybex exercise machines aren’t known for their low prices, there is quality and durability in their product lines. That is why you see them in high-use areas like gyms because they hold up with commercial use. They are also able to accommodate a large variety of users in many regards including size, height and weight.
It is often thought that the Cybex brand is good for home use as well because of the durability in a commercial setting.
There are 2 different products to consider for home use.
The MG500 Multi-Gym Strength Line is the brand for home use.
The Total Body Arc Trainer has a set of high-tech features along with the efficient calorie burning you look for when you want to exercise the whole body. Setting the motions to meet the needs of training for being a hiker, skier or climber is just one of the great features you’ll find.
Cybex has also considered safety by designing in features that include a unique motion giving equal leverage and a balanced contribution so that injuries to joints are minimized yet the work of the muscles is at a maximum level to get good value out of your exercise regimen. Intensity settings are there too that even allow separate settings for upper & lower body training needs.
This set of features makes Cybex unique in the market with the level of flexibility and customization provided for individuals.
The Cybex LCX 425T Treadmill allows you to get the same or better results from it that you would get running up & down your ladder. It’s extremely quiet and gives you all the data you need to see how effective your training is.
You actually feel like you’re jogging outside up rugged terrains when you’re using your treadmill as you take the water bottle out of the built-in holder & take a swig. For ultimate convenience, you can read a magazine or listen to your CD (or iPod!).
The treadmill is virtually maintenance free so you get great utilization out of it.
The reviews and evaluations for both the Cybex trainer and treadmill are all positive so consider the Cybex brand for your home training needs.
