CYBEX sees beyond today's trends to deliver a new and honest approach to cross-training - the right way to work out. The Arc Trainer series was developed with the correct arc of motion, a user-friendly path that reaches new heights in biomechanics. It delivers a safe, effective workout based on body basics, not fitness fads. The CYBEX Arc Trainer - winner of the prestigious Nova7 Product of the Year award two years in a row - is biomechanically suited to the human body - allowing the user to get better results in less time.
Cross-training in fitness refers to working various parts of the body by combining different exercises in a variety of ways. Typically one activity or sport trains certain parts of the body but not others. Cross-training aims to eliminate this. With the CYBEX Arc Trainer, broad incline and resistance ranges mean that users are really getting 3-4 machines in one. At the lower incline levels, the glide is a cross country skier. In the mid-range levels, the motion is a stride (like an elliptical except with proper positioning). At the high levels, the climb of a stepper or climber. One machine trains for strength, power, endurance, cardio, and weight loss.
After an Arc Trainer workout, the burn is just where is should be - on the muscles, not on the joints. And with correct load application, workouts burn calories and strengthen muscles without putting strain on the joints. This means less perceived exertion and the least stressful workout of any cardio trainer on the market. It's OK for workouts to be tough, but not on joints.
The Total Body Arc's patent pending Same Side Forward (SSF) technology makes it the only cross-trainer on the market that allows a true upper body workout. SSF is an innovative motion that offers users the ability to vary the workout intensity between upper and lower body. All others use a cross crawl motion - the harder the upper body works, the harder the lower body is worked in response. This pushes overall intensity up which can put users out of their cardio zone.
The CYBEX Arc Trainer combines elements of a climber, hiker, and skier to produce an unmatched number of workout combinations. By varying resistances and inclines, the same area can be targeted in different ways, to build muscle, burn calories ... or both. For users stepping onto a cross trainer for the first time, or professional athletes who demand a high intensity workout, the unparalleled versatility of the CYBEX Arc Trainer is a workout designed to achieve each user's personalized fitness goals.
Load dependent
The Arc is load dependent which means that resistance is scaled to the user's weight. Two exercisers, a man who weighs 230 lbs and the other a woman who weighs 120 lbs, both get the same workout when they enter the same program levels and their own weight. The perfect workout ... and only CYBEX has it.
Reverse Arc Movement
This is what makes the Arc an Arc. The unique Reverse Arc motion, a patented advanced stride technology, never places the user’s toe behind the knee (when the toe moves behind the knee significantly more stress is applied to the knee joint). The Reverse Arc Motion moves legs in a biomechanically correct pathway - reducing stress at the knee while offering a complete range of motion for both the knee and hip.
Muscle Targeting
Using both resistance and incline makes the Arc unique in its ability to emphasize specific muscle groups. The quadriceps are targeted in the highest incline position and gluteus is emphasized as the primary muscle group in the lowest incline position.
Glide, Stride, and Climb Zones
The Arc offers three exercise zones for the ultimate in variety: Low position is for the “Glide”; Medium position called the “Stride” and High position for the “Climb”.
Long Input Arms
Long input arms with low mounted pivots are designed as an alternative to the slot machine motion of many ellipticals. The curvilinear motion of the Arc minimizes ulnar/radial deviation for the added comfort of a flatter more consistent arm motion. Forward outboard handles allow for more aggressive exercise and targeting of the upper body.
Programs
8 Preset, 9 Custom, 2 Advanced, and 1 User selectable Heart Rate control give you a wide variety of programs to suit your personal needs. Like hills? Try P4 - the Pikes Peak program. Want to be able to train both strength and cardio? Try our Adaptive Power Training program, Advanced program #2. Push as hard as you want and this program will push back. Lighten your stride rate to recover then push again!
Same Side Forward
With Same Side Forward (SSF), the arm and leg on the same side move together, so that the relationship with the arm handle and footplate remains the same regardless of incline. This allows the user to always maintain optimal posture during exercise which virtually eliminates stress on the back. Other cross trainers, with arms and legs moving in opposite directions, lack the ability to maintain correct body positioning throughout the incline range.
Custom Colors
Why stick with silver gray when you choose from any of our five standard colors (white, black, platinum sparkle, metal tone gold, black chrome)? Or ... select from over 180 custom colors to match any decor. Only CYBEX offers color customization in CV and strength equipment.
