MedX strength training equipment

Using weight machines or free weights or chopping wood with an axe can accomplish the same end – providing enough resistance against working muscles to sufficiently stress those muscles. This demanding work stimulates increases in strength. Each type of equipment has its advantages, and people will have their own personal preferences based on their objectives or limitations. I will leave it to others to make claims as to what is "best". My preference is MedX exercise equipment.

MedX rehabilitative and exercise equipment was developed by Arthur Jones (inventor of Nautilus), MedX equipment is the most technologically advanced fitness, sports and medical/rehabilitation equipment available. On one machine alone, the lumbar exercise machine, Jones reportedly spent 100 million dollars on its development.

The equipment is on the high side price wise. You will see it in some physically therapy facilities and some NFL weight rooms. You will not see this equipment in most health clubs. It is not common to see the equipment for sale on the secondary market. The resale value is high because of the high quality, and MedX Corporation at times buys back their own equipment off the secondary market to maintain demand in their primary market. It is virtually indestructible and depreciates little.

The capabilities of MedX equipment are unprecedented. Each piece in the product line is designed to achieve efficiency in training by offering resistance curves matched to tested and proven strength profiles, i.e. the weight lifted is lighter in that part of the range of motion where your are weaker and becomes heavier when you are on that part of the range of motion where you are stronger. MedX strength-training machines operate at a very low level of friction and offer a choice of resistance in 2 pound increments. This maximizes a member’s chances of setting a weight that is just right, not too heavy and no too light.

Weight stack movement is achieved with a minimum of moving parts – no chains or belts. The weight stack moves just 12 inches far less than other equipment. Less movement of the weight stack and less moving parts result in smoother movement. The smoothness translates into less jarring movements that can cause injury. Repetitions on MedX equipment have a smoothness that can't be matched.

The movement arms of the machines track the natural movement of the human limbs resulting in less likelihood of injury. It can be used by those undergoing rehab and elite athletes. MedX equipment has been especially valuable for those with back problems.

MedX strength training equipment, barbells, and other lines of strength training equipment are just tools to assist in getting one stronger. All can help one achieve a positive result. As I said before, it comes down to personal preference. We have full lines of MedX equipment at both our locations - Austin Personal Trainers and New Orleans Personal Trainers.
