GTS Gravity Training System

Functional exercise recruits multiple muscle groups simultaneously, giving the user a more efficient and productive workout. It challenges the stabilizer muscles of the abdomen and back, and incorporates multi-plane movement with unrestricted range of motion in every exercise. This focus on functional strength - compared to simply focusing on linear or brute strength - greatly improves coordination, balance and stability. In essence, you move about with greater ease and less effort.

Q. What are some advantages of functional exercise within the GRAVITY TRAINING SYSTEM?

A. With the GRAVITY TRAINING SYSTEM, the user exercises muscles with movements that resemble activities from their daily life, accommodating full joint range of motion in all three functional planes, using their own body weight.

Basing exercises on natural movement patterns and proper biomechanics targets specific fitness objectives better. Additionally, unrestricted body positioning invites exercise variations, while GTS adjustable pulleys and squat-stand features encourage proper force angles and movement patterns.

Very few human activities involve movement through a single plane. Because the GTS user trains in all three planes of motion, their body is prepared for optimal human performance. Any exercise program should include multi-plane exercise as a major component of the overall program.

Q. What are some of the main features that make GTS different from other equipment?

A. GTS features a rolling glide-board that fully supports the spine; a dynamic unilateral-bilateral pulley system that encourages movement in all three planes and allows for full joint range of motion; and eight calibrated resistance levels that challenge the client by using 5% to 59% of their own body weight. With the GTS pulley system, resistance remains constant through the full range of motion.

Q. Does the GRAVITY SYSTEM work the core in virtually every exercise?

A. Yes. Exercise with the GTS recruits the muscles of the core, thanks to the dynamic instability introduced by the rolling glide-board. Users gain overall core strength, even while they focus on a specific muscle group.
