York Fitness launch new entry level multigyms

June 6, 2007 - PRLog -- Each gym possesses a 50kg vinyl weight stack but can boast a maximum resistance of 100kg - on all exercise stations! This is made possible by the use of the unique ‘stack booster’ pin, designed in-house at York. Simply put the pin in place and the 50kg weight stack will deliver up to 100kg of resistance. The really ingenious part of the ‘stack booster’ pin lies in its flexibility – you can either work with the standard 1:1 resistance ratio of the 50kg stack, or choose to increase it to a 2:1 ratio of 100kg – with most other gyms the resistance is fixed.
The G500 and G505 feature the all new Y-Frame, designed for increased support and stability, and both come supplied with a preacher curl pad for working the biceps.

Jamie Taylor, Product Manager says “In designing this new range of gyms, York went back to the customer to find out what they really want from a multigym – a wide variety of exercises and lots of resistance! The G500, G504 and G505 deliver in both of these areas, and provide a great solution for people with a limited budget – plus they still offer the kind of high quality expected from York Fitness products.”
