Precor: Resolute Strength
Resolute Strength
Available Fall 2020
The newest strength line from Precor, Resolute Strength, is about to hit the market. While this stellar video is a pretty good introduction, it might still leave some questions. What is it all about, and what makes it a great addition to your facility?
BIOMECHANICALLY SOUND
The Resolute Strength line was designed to maximize the exerciser’s safety and comfort. The geometry and angles of the pieces are purposefully designed to ensure the correct and supported position through the whole movement. Precor conducted extensive research with ergonomics as a focus and priority. The result is movement that feels natural and intuitive, and that helps the exerciser maintain proper alignment and form. The bright orange adjustment points are easily accessible and allow the exerciser to adjust to the optimal position for their comfort.
What are “biomechanics”?
According to the Journal of Biomechanics, biomechanics is “the study of the movement of living things using the science of mechanics” (Hatze, 1974). In this context, it’s taking mechanical principles and applying them to human movement during exercise. The goal of biomechanics in exercise is to maximize performance and movement, and minimize injury. The farther from mechanical efficiency, the higher the risk of injury. The more mechanically efficient we can be, the safer we are and the better our performance. This science was heavily applied when designing the Resolute line so that risk of injury is much lower and performance is enhanced.
DURABLE DESIGN
This strength line is built to last. The pieces include over-sized steel tubing, sealed bearings on pivot points, and chrome-plated adjustment plates to maximize durability and thus puts a high value on your investment. You can expect quiet and durable operation, and the pieces will remain stable and steady even during intense movement or if accidentally kicked. This line underwent rigorous testing to make sure it’s going to last under extensive use. For example, the weight stacks endured 250,000 cycles of testing at full weight, and the upholstered pads went through 1.2 million cycles of testing, all to ensure they didn’t crack under the pressure. They didn’t.
EXPERIENCE DRIVEN
With all of their equipment, Precor strives to offer, not just a great workout, but an experience. The Resolute line is no different. Firstly, the sleek and minimalistic aesthetics of the line give it a contemporary, low-profile design and a more spacious feel. With 5 frame colors, 12 upholstery options, and the ability to create custom shroud wraps, you can ensure your facility’s branding shines through on your strength floor.
The pieces themselves have an upright and open design that allows the exerciser to enter and exit with ease. Touch points for adjusting the equipment will feel intuitive and conveniently placed. These adjustment points also make the pieces adaptive to fit almost any exerciser. With the flip of a switch, you can increase the workload and challenge yourself with Precor’s patented add-on weight system. Individual pieces offer a variety of engaging movement possibilities that keep the workout feeling fresh and interesting. Seating is comfortable, and some pieces are even specifically designed for the exerciser’s privacy. When your exercisers enter into your facility, they can be sure they’re in for a great, varied, and experience-driven workout.
CONNECTIVE
Strength training has gone digital. The Precor Resolute comes with the option to pair with Sony® Advagym to create a truly connected fitness environment. This technology will drive engagement and revenue opportunities. If your facility is staffed, it will also allow engaging interactions between staff and exercisers; personal trainers can keep track of their client’s progress.
What is Advagym?
Advagym is a training and tracking system that links Precor selectorized equipment with a mobile app. Wireless sensors called “pucks” are positioned on equipment and throughout training zones, allowing your exercisers to follow their workout program, track exercises, and watch instructional videos throughout the facility.
