Total Gym Helen Chisholm, Owner of In Shape Studio in Whangaparaoa (New Zealand) has had great success since introducing Total Gym. She says “Since installing Total Gym I have had the best six weeks ever. I have gained 28 new clients. Our first short fourweek program has just finished, and already people are asking for a longer program (e.g., five weeks instead of four, and twice a week not just once). The Total Gym units have given us the edge over our competitors.” Total Gym, by HQH Fitness (www.hqh.com), is unlike other workout methods and systems because it is one versatile piece of equipment that engages all five components of exercise: body composition, muscular endurance, cardio endurance, muscular strength and flexibility. Using Total Gym, clients of any age and fitness level work every major muscle group in a functional manner, and because Total Gym provides calibrated resistance, members can easily chart their progress. The pull of gravity provides a constant resistance that doesn’t vary from beginning to middle or end range of motions. Plus, the dynamic pulley system allows the user to create the most functional movement patterns imaginable. HQH Fitness has recently launched an unprecendented, comprehensive business support package for clubs and studios wanting to implement Total Gym, with two versions available: one for clubs and one for studios Each total support package is tailored to give the facility owner or manager the tools of exactly what to do, how, and when to ensure the program is a success among members/clients. Included in the support package are templates for business planning, scheduling and marketing (including high quality ads, posters and flyers). Combined with the ongoing customer support from HQH Fitness’ consultant service, it’s no wonder they say Total Gym is not just a piece of equipment, but a complete Turnkey Business Solution. Total Gym is unlike other workout methods and systems because it is one versatile piece of equipment that engages all five components of exercise.
