Rom Machine Review Group Study

June 1, 2009 - PRLog -- I am looking for an exercise machine that performs the same thing as the ROM Crosstrainer  for $5,000 or less.  We have tested the ROM Machine at www.fastexercise.com and it seems to work. The ROM Crosstrainer gives you a full body workout in 4 minutes a day and include both aerobic and strength training. I am looking for a machine that can do the same in 5 minutes a day that EFFECTIVELY does the same for the whole body.  I know there are a lot of machines that claim to do the same so I would like one with some studies or something substantial showing its effectiveness. It also needs to be easy to use with no part changes throughout the exerices.  Remember I am looking for a ROM Crosstrainer level of quality with a price less than $5,000.  The ROM Machine is almost $15,000 and they have a several month waiting list. Note: Most Rom crosstrainers don't have significant strength training for the upper body like the ROM Crosstrainer.

realize this post started from a long while ago but I thought I would mention a revolutionary whole body vibration exercise machine that is much cheaper than the ROM Crosstrainer. It costs have the price of a ROM Crosstrainer and takes a total of 12 minutes a day. Also, there is little stress to your joints as the ROM Crosstrainer exercisers would encounter. Also, the ROM Crosstrainer offer half of the benefits of a whole body vibration platform. The science for whole body vibbration is backed by NASA. It has to all do with gravity. The ROM Crosstrainer is using gravity by manipulating the load and therefore, strength increase occurs. The Hypergravity is using gravity by manipulating the acceleration, which is smarter and more efficient. Basically it is vertical acceleration of gravity, or hypergravity. Good Luck! P.S. I think the best priced whole body
vibration platform is on ebay :).

The ROM Crosstrainer is expensive for many reasons: It is very heavily  and well built, and it sells very few units. It has  a frame as heavy as a tractor, and the heaviest fly-wheel of any exercise machine,  enhanced by a complex electro-magnetic unit, which is powered by your use. Together, they create  smooth resistance and maintain lever speed at an identical pace from rep to rep, no matter how hard you pull. A meter shows how hard you're pulling, but your percieved effort should be the same each time, if you give a full effort. . It's like doing a slow squat, row and backbend all in one, with a barbell that magically knows how much weight you can do for each rep, and each -segment- of each rep. I follow the industry fairly closely, and see no indication that any company is even -talking-about a similar item, this being over ten years since the ROM Crosstrainer was introduced.  Nothing else comes close.
