			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Absolute Body Fusion a Core &amp; Strength Training Studio is proud to introduce the GRAVITY System® NEW to B.C.this January 4th, 2010 giving people a chance to experience resistance training, in small groups or individually, on the innovative GTS® equipment, a turbocharged commercial version of the popular Total Gym®.</p>
<p>Absolute Body Fusion has joined the growing movement of health clubs offering the new gravity-based training by efi Sports Medicine. Monitored GRAVITY® sessions are designed to deliver quick, efficient and effective workouts while expanding program variety and member access.</p>
<p>“This system has such appeal,” said Shirlee Petrat, owner of Absolute Body Fusion “Those who didn’t have time to strength train before can now enjoy maximum benefits with a shorter time commitment, and anyone interested can get functional top-notch training regardless of their starting skill level. This work-out is fit for a Spartan Warrior.”</p>
<p>First launched in 2003, GRAVITY has been attracting health and fitness professionals from around the world including at the renowned Cooper Fitness Center at Craig Ranch, a Cooper Aerobics Company, in McKinney,  Texas.</p>
<p>The GRAVITYSystem offers a variety of programs on the Total Gym GTS® model. This bodyweight training system has eight calibrated resistance levels, a rolling glideboard and dynamic cable pulley system. Individual participants can perform over 250 functional exercises on the unit by simply changing body positions quickly and moving to the next exercise. Total Gym GTS engages all major muscle groups for strength and endurance training, stretching and Pilates, and integrates core training in every exercise.</p>
<p><em>Programming at Absolute Body Fusion includes:</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<ul>
<li>GRAVITYGroup®.      These engaging thirty-minute exercise sessions heat up all the major      muscle groups for total body conditioning. Each participant works at      his/her chosen level of resistance, while enjoying the challenge and      camaraderie of a group setting. These time-efficient workouts are      particularly attractive to those who traditionally focus on cardio      training and want to make time for a fun and effective strength regimen.</li>
<li>GRAVITYPilates®.      These exciting new classes create an environment of immediate success for      seasoned Pilates participants and newcomers, too. Offering traditional and      evolved programs, GRAVITYPilates addresses and overcomes participant’s      strength and flexibility limitations, improves core stability and control      for all fitness levels.</li>
<li>GRAVITYPersonalTraining®.      Supervised sessions on GTS, either one-on-one or in small groups require      no moving around the gym or waiting for equipment. Members can enjoy lower      prices for training in small groups while continuing to receive the      personal attention so important to a successful personal training      experience.</li>
<li>GRAVITYPost-rehab®.      Total Gym has a long history of application in physical therapy and      athletic training. efi Sports Medicine developed the GRAVITYPost-rehab      education in association with industry professionals so that clients who      work with trainers who have completed this program will have confidence      that their conditioning program will complement their recent physical      therapy treatment.</li>
</ul>
<p>For more than a quarter century, efi Sports Medicine has provided a wide array of functional equipment to more than 14,000 clinics, schools, hospitals, athletic training centers, health clubs and more than 3 million home exercisers worldwide.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Across Canada, ask a parent or coach and they’ll tell you, the demand for ice time is at a premium.</p>
<p>“Where I live in Cambridge, Ontario, there just isn’t enough ice to go around. It affects everyone, but it’s especially hard for younger skaters to develop their skills. So when we heard about EZ Glide 350® synthetic ice, we saw an opportunity to get involved.” explains Greg Lawlor, Vice President, Sales And Marketing for the Fitness Depot Group.</p>
<p>Fitness Depot Commercial is the exclusive distributer of EZ Glide 350® synthetic ice.<em><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-65" src="http://www.fitnessdepotcommercial.com/fdc/blogsmu/news/files/2009/08/ezglide.jpg" alt="ezglide" width="300" height="224" /></em></p>
<p>Designed to be used by regular ice skates, EZ Glide 350® synthetic ice is an all-weather surface that functions like frozen ice-skating surfaces.  The surface comes in approximately 4’ x 8’ sheets, requires minimal installation and maintenance, and has a 10-year warranty.</p>
<p>Fitness Depot Commercial’s national reach made them the right choice to distribute EZ Glide 350® explains Steve Mai, COO of Strong Hockey Innovations, the maker of EZ Glide 350®, “We are very excited about working with the Fitness Depot Commercial. It gives us an opportunity for communities across Canada to try our products.”</p>
<p><strong>So how good is EZ Glide 350®? </strong><br />
Fantastic, according to Lawlor, “their ice surface products are the best of the best, in terms of quality and space required. It’s a fantastic opportunity to get more people active in skating.”  Big names like Disney agree. Disney On Ice is using EZ Glide 350® as are professional hockey players and skating associations.</p>
<p>Fitness Depot Commercial will be introducing EZ Glide 350® surfaces to select stores in the coming weeks.</p>
<p>Opportunities to try EZ Glide 350® will be available at a Fitness Depot store location near you.</p>
