YExpress Circuit Series

30-minute workouts!

 
   

Are you pressed for time? Intimidated by strength training equipment? Wanting to stay healthy and get fit but feeling overwhelmed by the challenge?

The new YEXPRESS is the ideal strength-training solution for users of all experience levels. A complete, total-body workout for everyone from those new to strength training to regulars, as well as those
losing interest in exercising to the time-challenged. The YExpress Circuit Series equipment is simple to operate, motivates people to get into and stick with the exercise habit, and delivers outstanding results.

YExpress offers a total body workout in 30 minutes. Exercisers use a series of sequenced exercise stations and are cued regularly to move to the next station. You may begin at any station, at any time.

YExpress offers:

  • Total body strength workout
  • No seat adjustments
  • Simple & self-directed
  • Non-intimidating

Benefits
Resistance increases in small, measurable increments, so users feel a sense of accomplishment and the
motivation to keep exercising.

Easy to Use
An intuitive push-button resistance selection, no setup adjustments and low starting resistance make these
machines simple to operate. Having no setup adjustments allows for time-efficient workouts.

YExpress is available at Friars Road,
Hazard Center & Toby Wells

Learn YExpress as part of the first three months of hte Coach Approach program!


 

       
   

Strive Smart Strength

The results are amazing!

 
   

Are you anxious to see and feel results quickly but feel working out takes up too much of your time?  Have you hit a plateau or dropped your exercise routine completely?

Strive Smart Strength technology provides users the ability to selectively alter the resistance patterns of the exercise movement. With any given exercise, maximum
resistance can be placed at any region of the movement. This means that the weight will feel “heaviest” at any predetermined point in the range of motion.

The benefits of Smart Strength include:

  • Rapid strength gains with fewer plateaus
  • Aerobic conditioning
  • Improved functional strength
  • Reduced boredom (an entire workout takes only 30 minutes)

Strive Strength is offered at our Friars Road facility. We are one of the first to offer this equipment in the San Diego area. Schedule a complimentary introduction to Strive Circuit at the front desk, or call (619) 298-3576.
       
 
 

Our facility makeover

Last fall we completed an “Extreme Makeover” of our Friars Road exercise facilities. We added a line of LifeFitness Circuit Trainers and a new program called YExpress that allows you to get a total body workout in 30 minutes or less.

We also added new equipment from Strive and Gravity, two companies making products that use the latest scientific developments to help members achieve more efficient and effective workouts.

Our fully-equipped, state-of-the-art fitness centers feature Personal Viewing TVs, 72 pieces of cardio equipment and a stretch room.
