The Circular line equipment offers a low impact whole-body workout for users in a coordinated circuit of 10 machines. Eight of the machines provide two opposite movements in a dual-directional, concentric, or ‘push/pull’ function, resulting in a total of 18 different exercises.

There are no eccentric movements, meaning the user doesn’t need to deal with lowering or controlling the load.

What controls station changes
The gym80 Circular line is designed to be used in a circuit class format with an instructor.

The instructor will time the station changes in a way to suit their style or according to the available timing devices at the facility.

Real-time feedback
There are no feedback mechanisms on the equipment, as it was designed to enable people to work at their own level in a non-intimidating way.

Instructors have flexibility to use measures such as perceived exertion scales, along with pre-set resistance levels and users can utilise their own devices and apps.

What’s the entertainment?
Entertainment is not built-in. This allows the facility and the instructor flexibility in how they deliver music or entertainment, suited to their business and preference.

Operators choosing to upgrade from Classic to Premium software can offer users an even greater level of personalisation through the introduction of a 12 -week, phased, progressive programme. This ensures users are continually driven towards bespoke training goals.

Because of its easy, personalised format, the Milon Circle often attracts a slightly older user group

Number of stations
12 machines in total – six pieces of strength and six cardiovascular machines. Leg extension, leg curl, chest press, seated row, back extension and abdominal stations.

Details
Strength units deliver resistance through an electronic motor providing a variety of training protocols including eccentric, isokinetic and adaptive. Milon also manufactures cardio equipment with automatic settings to give a personalised experience for each user.

The cardio equipment can be heart-rate controlled and has a variety of fitness tests built in.

The time is displayed on the user’s screen. When the time has elapsed the machine stop working and the user moves on to the next station.

Real-time feedback
Users can see and follow their range of motion, training speed and weights lifted in both concentric and eccentric modes. They also receive qualitative feedback during training and the software can interact to motivate and support them during the workout.

What’s the entertainment?
We do not include entertainment as the user is constantly on the move and we believe it’s role of the instructor to motivate and support members to work hard and achieve their goals.

What is the price?
From £49,653 for a six piece cardio circuit to £124,752 for a 12 piece strength and endurance circuit.

How many have you installed?

Number of stations
Our concept has the ability to upscale from a minimum of eight – four Speedflex machines and four auxiliary stations.

Details
Our concept is made up of a mixture between Speedflex machines and auxiliary equipment – typically kettlebells, slam balls, battle ropes, suspension training, resistance bands, ramfits and bodyweight exercises.

The Speedflex machine works off a hydraulic system that delivers isokinetic resistance dependant on how much force is applied.

Machines allow participants to perform traditional exercises such as power clean and press, shoulder press etc. Trainers can incorporate different exercises, circuits, and formats depending on the number of participants and their ability.

Progressions and regressions are incorporated to ensure everyone gets the most from the time they dedicate to exercise.

There are hundreds of different programming options to keep things interesting and a range of themed sessions, all of which are either 30 or 45 minutes in duration.

What controls station changes?
Speedflex uses multiple mechanisms to control station changes. Some sessions are controlled via MyZone.

All sessions are trainer-led, giving the ability to programme multiple formats that keep the workouts engaging and varied.

Real-time feedback
Our concept is paired with Myzone so we can prescribe high intensity exercise to all of our users.

The Myzone system allows real-time heart rate data to reward effort through MEPS while also giving real-time feedback in calorie expenditure.

What’s the entertainment?
We have a new app that allows participants to use our in-built programming.

What is the price?
£1,105 - £1,568 + VAT per month for a studio with between four and eight machines, based on a 5 per cent flat rate of interest.

How many circuits have you installed?
We have 19 studios.

Target market
Speedflex is suitable for all ages and abilities as it delivers all the benefits of HIIT training without the risk of injury and with reduced post exercise pain – something usually associated with this type of training.

Extra info
The Speedflex circuit is unlike any other form of training – it means something different for every user, from being an effective aid to weight loss, which is facilitated without soreness, to providing the benefit of having a trainer to lead the session so the user doesn’t have to plan for or motivate themselves.
