CYBEX Introduces Bravo Functional Trainer

Business Wire
posted: 41 DAYS 13 HOURS AGO

Cybex International, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYBI) – a leading manufacturer of premium exercise equipment for the commercial and consumer markets, today announced its Bravo Functional Trainer, a total training solution ideally suited for more than 300 different exercises that enhance strength gains, movement coordination and core integration.

As shown by a recent independent study conducted by the Department of Kinesiology at University of Massachusetts Amherst, Bravo users experience nearly two times the core muscle activation of traditional cable training, while being able to lift the same amount of weight as in a fully stabilized position. These significant advancements make the machine – initially introduced in the fourth quarter of 2008 as the FT-450 – ideal for elite athletes, as well as casual exercisers who want to train their upper and lower bodies in the most efficient and effective manner.

Providing more options and versatility than any product in its class yet occupying just a 6' x 6’ area, Bravo’s patent-pending design incorporates two unique features that completely alter the approach to functional training:

  • Progressive Stabilization Pad – allows users to incrementally modify their stability, introducing specific challenges for different functional tasks
  • Cable Width Adjustment – lets the height and width of the cables be adjusted, meaning the direction of resistance can be completely controlled

“This is a phenomenal piece of equipment combining versatility and performance in a way that can’t be matched by any other exercise machine in the world,” stated John Aglialoro, CYBEX Chairman and CEO.

“Bravo takes the best features of stabilized training, like what you would experience from a bench press, and combines them with the benefits obtained from cable training. It’s another example of the CYBEX commitment to innovation – really ‘bringing you what’s next’ in safe and effective exercise.”
