KIM’S PICKS
Portland Fitness Equipment’s resident fitness guru, Kim has her recommendations for the best fitness equipment to help you reach your fitness goals!
Johnny G Spirit Bike
My number one pick. Johnny G. I own this bike! The precision of the push button magnetic resistance with 20 levels of resistance is unmatched. With a Q factor of 6.6 inches and belt drive makes it a super comfortable ride. The solid steel frame with 3 layers of protection (plated, powder-coated and clear coat) and no show welds make for an amazingly strong bike. Not to mention it’s beautiful.
Hoist Mi6 Functional Trainer
My number one pick. Hoist Mi6. Functional trainers are the best choice for those of us over a certain age. Its not about how much weight you lift. It’s about keeping what we have. As we age we lose muscle mass and weight training is even more important. Functional trainers allow us to target a particular muscle group, say the chest but at the same time work lots of other muscle as we work to stabilize ourselves. The hoist Mi6 has 28 pulley adjustment points per column allow for sides to be used independently or together and gives the user no matter their size a personal fit. The fully enclosed weight stacks offer clean lines, additional safety and noise reduction.
All adjustments are quick and easy.
