The sleek silver framing…the clean-lined
weight stack shrouds…dense pads the
color of fine saddle leather. In a word,
beautiful! I'm talking, of course, about
the brand-new, state-of-the-art Precor
Discovery Selectorized weight training
circuit. Occupying the heart of the main
weight training, they replaced the
hodge-podge of circuit equipment that
we had accumulated over the years.
Thanks to the new machines smaller
footprints, they actually take up less
total square footage than their
predecessors, so spacing between
machines and the corridors surrounding
the circuit are more generous than
before. They look great and have
generated lots of positive feedback
among the members and staff. They may
also be the most aptly named weight
machine series ever, and here's why:
What Precor discovered after a series of
studies was that people who avoided
strength training, but who would actually
benefit from it, weren't put off by the
idea of strength training—they were put
off by the machines! The big, bulky,
complicated, and ultimately intimidating
machines.
With that in mind, the Discovery Series
was designed to be inviting rather than
intimidating. The Series allows everyone
to get comfortable with the idea of
strength training. Among the many
innovative features, users will find QR
Codes linking to how-to videos, low
starting weights, easy flip small weight
increments, and automotive-grade seats
with gas-assisted adjustments.
