POWER ASSISTED EXERCISE MACHINES
ADD YEARS TO LIFE & LIFE TO THOSE YEARS
The Shapemaster Suite is a great solution for those looking to stay active as they age, those with poor mobility, injury, disability or underlying health conditions. Giving both physical and mental benefits.
No matter what your goal, the Suite also has a great social environment where long term friendships have been formed whilst having fun and forgetting that you’re even exercising!
The seated range of equipment is designed to provide a circuit that will exercise and stretch all the major muscle groups in the body and will help to retrain muscle patterns whilst at the same time stimulating the muscles and improving circulation.
Shapemaster is an excellent example of LIIT (Lower Intensity Interval Training). A circuit of 10 exercise stations provides 30 minutes of low intensity exercise through variable effort programmes with each machine providing muscle strengthening or cardio exercise, depending on the desired exercise outcomes. The rest period between intervals is provided by the Interval Peak or Dip programmes or by the transfer period between machines. The benefits are both physical and mental and our Members’ age range from 17 to 91. Why not try it by booking a free Induction

“The exercises have stopped the pain in my left shoulder and I no longer have swollen legs and ankles. By working the machines and not just letting the machines move my joints I hope to keep them in working order a bit longer. I may increase the time to three days a week”

“I joined nearly 4 months ago, and was initially a little nervous, as I had done very little exercise since 2013 owing to a disability. Prior to this I used to go to the gym regularly. When I came to look at the suite and see if it was right for me, Julie the Manager made me feel very at ease. Since joining I haven’t looked back. Julie has helped me, and others I know, in achieving our goals. I look forward to my sessions and thoroughly recommend Shapemaster. Finally, Julie is there for all of us, whatever level of activity we can achieve”

Jackie - Member for 7 months
“I am not too old and not too dizzy on my pegs, but find shapemaster suits me. I can sit on the machines and let the machine work for me or I can resist the machine and gain muscle strength.
I highly recommend shapemaster. It is a nice relaxed environment and Julie is a lovely mentor to have around”
