General Information
The new Vectra Fitness VFT-100 Functional Trainer gym allows multi plane and multi-joint user defined resistance training in an unstable environment.
This core stabilization training style is popular with, and in many cases, preferred by personal trainers and physical therapists. Why? Because this style of training is shown to better prepare people for movements that occur in daily life, movements that involve the whole body working together. An example would be picking up and moving a bag of groceries, or swinging a golf club.
Those interested in injury prevention, performance enhancement, and increasing the body's resting metabolic work rate to help encourage weight loss will love the Vectra VFT-100.
The VFT provides many exercise possibilities including the popular high position cable crossover exercises, and cable handle, weight-bearing ball squats.
The user may elect to use an exercise ball or other core engaging apparatus with this exciting new gym.
The VFT bench easily attaches to the low centre pulley, providing an easy to use option for upper and lower body exercises (i.e. lying prone hamstring curls, seated leg extensions, decline bench presses with cable handles, etc.).
The wide position dual arms are adjustable to 23 positions, from 6' high to 4" from the ground. At the ends of these arms are pulleys that swivel 540º (not limited to 50 º).
The VFT offers both high and low position middle pulley locations. This allows for a huge variety of dual handle rows and lat pull downs from a position that doesn't require you to physically change your location.
Sport specific grip attachments (sold separately) will allow users to train their sport specific motions with resistance, helping build directly applicable strength for their activity. Can you imagine attaching an actual golf club grip, baseball/softball bat handle, or tennis racquet handle directly to a cable end?
With a 4' x 7' working footprint and an adjustable top height between 6'6" and 6'11", the VFT will fit in most rooms.
