Our gym is now one of the most technologically advanced in the area; members can create profiles on the machines and track progress for those who have set fitness goals, they can also link into iTunes, watch TV and peruse the internet through the new displays units on each piece of equipment. All our staff members have been trained to use the new equipment so they can guide users and enable exercisers to get the best results.”
