Upgrade, upgrades, and more upgrades!
We have been making so many upgrades that it is a challenge to keep this page current.
We recently brought in 15 new Stepmills to the 4 clubs. These units replaced older, but fully functioning, Stepmills. In case you are not familiar with Stepmills, they are units that are essentially endless stairs. The user stays in one place while the stairs just keep coming at a speed determined by the user.
The Omaha (North) facility received 3 recumbent bikes, 3 upright bikes, and 3 AMTs by Precor. (AMT stands for Adaptive Motion Trainer) These pieces were placed in our newly remodeled women's workout area. This facility also received a couple of abdominal benches to replace older units.
The Omaha (South) facility also recently received a couple of new benches for abdominal exercises.
Each club has more strength equipment and more cardio equipment that we expect will be delivered
before the end of February.
Omaha (North) has been undergoing an ongoing renovation of the locker rooms. The women’s locker room was renovated in the fall of 2010 and the men’s locker room saw repairs that started in December and finished in early January 2011. The Jacuzzi and sauna area will be refreshed during the last two weeks of January.
Lincoln saw a complete remodel of the women's area in the summer of 2010. Members who had been
gone for just a few short weeks were shocked.
Stretching stations were introduced to each of the 4 clubs. Omaha (North) and Lincoln both had enough space that we brought in a second stretching station for their women’s only areas.
Over the past few years we have added over $4 million worth of new equipment. The most recent upgrade
completed was to the strength equipment.
-
Each of the 4 clubs received new urethane coated weight plates with hand grips for ease of handling.
-
Each of the 4 clubs received a new Precor "C-Line" strength circuit. This is the latest top of the line offering from Precor.
-
Each of the 4 clubs received a new Precor "User Defined" line of equipment. This equipment is both safe and extremely functional. It helps build the core muscles while making it easy to switch between users.
We are aware that some clubs have made some disparaging remarks about our equipment. The equipment that has been brought in is all from the top manufacturers in the industry. We invite you to look at their websites to see for yourself what type of equipment we have been acquiring.
-
Precor www.Precor.com Look at the side of the site that shows commercial equipment. We have purchased C-Line and S-Line strength equipment, free weight equipment, upright bikes, recumbent bikes, ellipticals, treadmills and AMTs. Every piece of Precor cardio that we have in our clubs has its own personal viewing screen. (That’s a fancy way of saying it has its own TV.)
-
FreeMotion www.FreeMotionFitness.com Look at the commercial side of this site also. We have purchased some of their strength equipment and a significant number of treadmills and incline
trainers. An incline trainer is essentially a treadmill that can be elevated to a 30 percent incline. Each piece of FreeMotion cardio also has its own Workout TV.
-
Stairmaster www.Stairmaster.com Stairmaster is the manufacturer of the Stepmill. These are the only cardio pieces that do not have TV screens on them. We do this purposely because we fear some people would never get off our Stepmills if they had screens on them.
All of our equipment is top of the line. We won't lie to you and tell you that there are not other great manufacturers of quality equipment. But don’t let anyone tell you that there is any better equipment than what we offer our members.
