How do Kinetix compare to conventional fitness equipment?


Kinetix fitness systems Conventional gym equipment
Accommodate optimal and equal force and tension through the whole muscle action. Gravity causes different workloads at various points in the muscle contraction which is a major cause of injury.
Restrict exercise movements to the functional range, reducing the risk of injury. Stretching beyond the functional range is encouraged and provides no useful advantage for normal exercisers.
Allow the performance of passive recovery repetitions during periods of tiredness which allows the user to rest without stopping the exercise. Force the user to stop the exercise during tiredness, reducing cardiovascular benefits.
Provide a highly effective cardiovascular exerciser with the ability to perform high repetition compound movements as a total solution. Require the provision of separate cardiovascular equipment.
Allow the benefit of isokinetic machines through double positive and/or concentric only and/or eccentric only movements with a full workout with a typical system achieved in just 20 minutes. The movements associated with isokinetic machines are not possible which results in an average workout time of an hour.
Allow over 70 exercise combinations on a typical system with the performance of single or compound movements with or without acceleration. Exercise combinations are infinitely less variable and restricted to fewer body areas.
