York Fitness has been one of the biggest names in the global fitness equipment industry for 75 years.  York actually started life as 2 different companies – the first was established in the USA in 1932 and operated in the world of Olympic Weightlifting, and the second was established in Canada in 1936 and began developing weights and benches for use in the home. 

In 2004 the 2 companies came together, meaning York was truly a global brand for the first time.   Combining the strengths of the respective companies, one in the domestic fitness market and the other in commercial, made perfect sense and has created a company with a complete offering for the global fitness market.

Our home products range from dumbbells, barbells, weight benches and multigyms to our exclusive range of platinum treadmills, cycles, cross trainers, gym balls, and much more besides.

Our commercial gym equipment is used by high profile sports teams such the LA Lakers, Washington Redskins and Lions in the US and UK premier league rugby teams such as Northampton Saints, Saracens, Harlequins and Borders. This extensive company history has allowed us to build up a wealth of experience that goes into each and every one of our products.

Finally, an interesting fact – There are more weights in the world branded “York” than any other manufacturer!

No wonder so many people have taken to exercising on treadmills - it's an excellent way to lose weight and get in great cardiovascular shape. If you're in the market for a home treadmill, you've got a wide variety of products available from which to choose. It's very important, however, to find a treadmill that will meet your needs and help you achieve your goals, so be sure ask the following before going shopping:

·                                 How much money do you want to spend? The old saying, "You get what you pay for," directly applies to home fitness equipment. While it may be tempting to take advantage of a good deal, an inferior piece of equipment won't deliver the results you want, and it won't be as sturdy, dependable or enjoyable to use. Consider this purchase an investment - a good treadmill will last you for years.

·                                 Who's going to use the treadmill? The size and weight of the user, as well as how he or she plans to use it, e.g., walking or training for a marathon, can make a difference in the kind of treadmill you purchase. Also consider the number of people who will be using it. A treadmill's durability becomes increasingly important if several people will be logging time and miles on it.

·                                 Where will you keep the treadmill? Shopping for a home treadmill is like shopping for a sofa; figure out in advance where you plan to place it and measure the space. You want to be sure your treadmill will fit where you plan to exercise.

`Now you're ready to put on your running shoes and head to the store. Here are some tips to help you select your treadmill:

·                                 Go to an authorized specialty fitness equipment store. You'll find higher quality products and greater selection at specialty fitness equipment shops such, as Platinum Fitness, rather than at general sporting goods stores or department stores. Specialty stores also typically have certified fitness professionals who can help with selecting, understanding the features of and maintaining your treadmill.

·                                 Try out several treadmills. It's important to test different models of treadmills before making your final choice. If the machine doesn't feel comfortable to you, you won't use it, so wear your shoes and shorts and plan on giving a number of treadmills a five-minute try. Look for sturdy construction including a wide and flexible running surface, an easy-to-read console and a variety of programming options, including those that let you get going quickly or that let you customize and personalize your workouts.

·                                 Check out the exercise programs. While most treadmills have adjustable inclines and speed settings, the range of programming options run the gamut from basic fat burning and cardio workouts to far more elaborate programming.

·                                  Find out about warranties. Don't forget to ask about parts and services warranties. The most reputable manufacturers back their equipment with good warranties.

The Bodycraft fitness range consists of the galena gym, strata gym, Xpress pre gym, k1 training system, k2 training system, family express gym, linear smith machine, power rack, cable cross over, hip sled. In addition to the strength range the 2100 and 2500hrc elliptical cross trainers are both available at platinum fitness.

The Bodycraft Cable Arms utilize pulleys and cables for unrestricted, completely natural, and biomechanically correct movements. You define the path, providing for a greater, more natural range of motion, which incorporates the use of stabilizer and core muscle groups - an advantage not found on typical home gyms. The Bodycraft Range is an effective way to build strength and balance for every day activities, or for recreational sports.

Over the past few years, the internet has spawned many new fitness equipment companies.

Fitness is the new mantra that has grabbed everyone's attention. However in order to achieve that magical figure or physique be sure you are not in for a rude shock. There are companies that lay their claims on fitness equipment which only amount to the absurd. The choice is clear, Purchasing a piece of fitness equipment is a life long investment, by purchasing a quality well known brand name you are ensured that your equipment can be serviced and parts are available for life. More often than not, the cheaper products on offer are inferior to well established brands and an apparent saving can lead to a costly mistake.   

            When purchasing from Internet Only Companies, also be particularly wary of warranties. If purchasing through Internet companies, clarify exactly what warranty is provided with the equipment. If products come with a ‘back to base’ warranty, find out who will pay the carriage to return the item to base, and then, who pays the carriage to ship the repaired model to your home? (carriage charges are considerable),

You may be tempted to buy discount exercise equipment, but try to resist the temptation. Visit a reputable supplier and try out their high-end machines. The smooth action and fluid operation of a quality piece of physical fitness equipment will make your workout at home enjoyable and beneficial. Cheap treadmills and home gyms are very often inferior in durability and workmanship and ultimately not much of a bargain.

Beware of equipment with a short warranty. That inexpensive treadmill with the 30 day warranty should send up all kinds of red flags. Fitness is a lifelong endeavour. Your fitness equipment should support that endeavour with reliable operation and quality components. Don’t settle for anything less.

The majority of our products are provided with an on-site warranty. This basically means if you product develops a fault, we will send an engineer to your home to fix it. For a small number of less expensive items we operate a ‘back to base’ warranty. This is where we will collect faulty product, repair, or replace it, and return it to you.

This survey of 3,000 ACE-certified fitness professionals points out the biggest mistakes in the gym.

In some cases, these mistakes may simply mean the difference between an effective and an ineffective workout. Other mistakes, however, can be more costly, leading to strain and injury.

ACE, America's Authority on Fitness, shares the following mistakes commonly made in the gym and offers tips to help individuals stay safe during their workout.

1. Not stretching enough: Stretch immediately following an aerobic activity while your muscles are warm and pliable to prevent injuries.
2. Lifting too much weight: Never lift more than your muscles can handle. Gradual, progressive resistance is a far more effective -and safe - way to increase muscle strength.
3. Not warming up prior to activity: Muscles need time to adjust to the new demands aerobic activity places on them. Start slowly and gradually increase intensity.
4. Not cooling down after any type of workout: Take a few minutes to lower your heart rate and stretch your muscles. This improves flexibility and helps prepare the body for your next workout.
5. Exercising too intensely: It's more effective to sustain a moderate workout for longer periods of time than to exercise intensely for only a few minutes.
6. Not drinking enough water: Don't wait until you’re thirsty to drink water - you're already on your way to dehydration. Keep a water bottle close at hand during exercise and throughout the day.
7. Leaning heavily on a stair stepper: Leaning on the stair stepper is hard on both the wrists and the back. Lower the intensity to the point at which you can maintain good posture while lightly resting your hands on the rails for balance.
8. Not exercising intensely enough: Exercise intensely enough to work up a light sweat and get your heart beating in your training zone.
9. Jerking while lifting weights: When you have to jerk the weight, it's likely you're jerking other muscles as well. This can lead to strain and injury, with the muscles of the back being particularly vulnerable. Control the weight, don't let it control you.
10. Consuming energy bars and sports drinks during moderate workouts: Unless you're working out for longer than two hours per day, you don't need to supplement with high-energy bars and drinks. (High-energy is often a code word for high-calorie.)

This article will list several unique benefits of working out with an elliptical trainer.  If you're trying to decide between an elliptical trainer and another piece of exercise equipment, here are some unique elliptical trainer benefits:

• No Impact:

Elliptical trainer workouts are safe on the joints and provide a no impact workout (as opposed to a treadmill where you feet hit the deck with every step).  This is ideal for people with back, knee, hips and joint problems as well as older people looking for a no-impact workout.

• Weight Bearing Exercise:

While using an elliptical machine gives you a no-impact workout, the resistance exercise still helps to build bone density and fight off osteoporosis. 

As well, weight-bearing exercise helps you burn calories much more efficiently (and keeps your calorie burn high for several hours after a workout)

• Saves Time

Because most elliptical trainers incorporate upper body arms, elliptical workouts tend to involve the whole body and give you an overall better workout - meaning you burn more calories in less time. That's always a benefit.

Elliptical trainers have also been proven to offer a lower 'Perceived Rate of Exertion' when working out.  This means that you're doing more work and burning more calories while feeling like you put out less effort.

• Fights Boredom & Great For Cross training

Because elliptical trainers are a mix between the treadmill and a stair climber you have a great opportunity to cross-train. 

I was actually shocked when, after using my elliptical for a month, I could easily climb a very steep hill that had almost wiped me out before.  My fitness level had skyrocketed and I didn't even know it.

Plus, the fact that you can move backwards on an elliptical, you won't get bored easily.  That means more workouts and more calories burned!

• Space Efficient

Most elliptical trainers are smaller than a treadmill and can be more easily moved to clean or to store away when company is coming.  If you are cramped for space or have a smaller home gym, an elliptical trainer can be a great way to save space while getting an overall body workout

So those are some of the best benefits of using an elliptical trainer. They do offer some great workout features that would benefit any athlete - from beginner to elite!
