Cybex International, Inc. announced that it received the Nova7 supplier award for Best Product of the Year 2004. The award was presented at the 2005 IHRSA conference in San Francisco on March 18, 2005. This is the second consecutive year that the Cybex Arc Trainer has been awarded this honor.
John Aglialoro, Cybex chairman & CEO stated, “We are honored to receive this distinguished award two years running. The significance of this award is that it was voted on by club owners and individuals who make fitness an integral part of their lives. The Arc Trainer is a training experience that can be as gentle or as intense as desired, from first-time exercisers to professional athletes.”
Fitness Management's Nova7 “People's Choice” Best Supplier Awards recognize industry suppliers in seven categories. Receiving recognition for Best Product of the Year for the past two years commands CYBEX's position as an industry leader in the health and fitness arena. In addition to the Arc Trainer, the new Total Body Arc Trainer combines both an upper and lower body workout. Both products reduce shear stress on the body by allowing for a more synchronous motion between the knee and hip so that the two joints work cooperatively. This was documented through an independent research study done by the Department of Exercise and Science and Health Promotion at Florida Atlantic University and Kinematix Sports. The full research study can be found by going to the CYBEX website at www.cybexinternational.com.
Chuck Lemar, Cybex senior Vice president of sales and marketing stated, “Having the Arc Trainer recognized by our industry for consecutive years is a tremendous compliment and confirmation of the excellence CYBEX brings to market. CYBEX is committed to engineering and manufacturing premier equipment and we feel the Arc Trainer is a “must have” for every club and healthcare facility around the world.”
