Speedflex launches new series of low-intensity workouts

Speedflex has launched a series of low-intensity workouts for its Blade machine, making functional, resistance-based training more accessible.

Designed with joint health and mobility in mind, the workouts provide a safe option for older adults, beginners and anyone returning from injury, managing long-term conditions or on an exercise referral programme.

Built around Speedflex’s signature low-impact technology, which has adjustable resistance on both the upward and downward phases of each movement, users can tailor the session to their needs.

A notable feature is the ability to perform single-arm or single-leg exercises that allows for targeted strengthening, aiding recovery from injury or surgery. 

Matt Bolam, head of fitness at Speedflex, says: “Our low-intensity programme makes Speedflex more accessible. It’s inspiring to see operators reaching members who might otherwise feel left behind.”

Company Details
Speedflex (UK & Ireland) Limited
A Speedflex session is a dynamic experience for all involved. Small groups of people train together with an experienced personal trainer to ensure everyone is motivated and getting the most benefit from their 45 minute session.
