They have 13 pieces of equipment. All of the equipment is hydraulic, there
are no weights to add or remove. The object is to keep the heart rate going
so half of the time you are doing aerobics on boards or steps and half the
time you are using strength training equipment.

fitness club.

frequently they run specials and the up front fee may only be $75, you would
need to call your nearest facility to see what special prices they are

Time Needed: 30 minute routine 3-6 times per week. The amount of days that
you decide to go will depend on your individual goals which the staff will
help you set.

measure you every month. The staff is trained to keep you going strong while
