Press Release Summary: Curves of Raleigh sports CurvesSmart(tm). The new equipment's advanced technology offers precision designed workouts, real time feedback and progress reports to keep members motivated during workouts.
Press Release Body: Raleigh, NC - October 21, 2008 - Imagine having the world's most advanced fitness coach at your disposal. This coach customizes workouts based on your body structure and endurance and adjusts each exercise machine's intensity based on your recent progression or regression. This coach monitors your energy level and range of motion continuously to ensure you are achieving your personal potential. Then the coach automatically computes your workout data to produce a progress report, including the number of calories you burned and 3-D anatomical diagrams to show which muscles you've worked and how successfully.
This is exactly the role of the CurvesSmart(tm) personal coaching system, a new technology pioneered by Curves that offers a precision designed workout, moment to moment feedback and progress reports to keep members motivated while they work out. Capital Commons Curves (co-owned by Michelle Hayes and Connie Sedlak) and Country Club Curves in Raleigh (owned by Connie Sedlak and her husband Paul) are two of the privileged clubs in the nation to feature the equipment upgrade.
"The CurvesSmart technology offers women the benefits of a highly skilled personal trainer without the expense," said Michelle Hayes, of Capital Commons Curves on Louisburg Road
Connie Sedlak, of the Country Club Curves on Six Forks and Wake Forest Road in Raleigh, explained, "It's the world's most advanced fitness training system. We expect our members to be thrilled with how this amazing workout will help them achieve their goals even faster. It's easy to get started and fun to do."
A Curves member is issued a CurvesSmart ID Tag containing their personalized profile determined by a Curves staff member. The tag is electronically recognized by the monitor at each station, automatically retrieving the member's profile to determine the specifications for her workout.
The monitor indicates: whether her heart rate is in the target range; whether the member is achieving her target intensity level; the range of motion for each repetition; and the number of repetitions. If the woman is exercising correctly, all indicators on the monitor will be green. Members are enthusiastically encouraged to "Go for Green!" Following the workout, the system produces a progress report which allows the member to see, instantly her strengths and weaknesses.
Raleigh Country Club and Raleigh Capital Commons are taking new appointments to get started on the CurvesSmart workout on a first come, first served basis. For more information call 919.829.7313 or 919.878.1966.
