CYBEX is.

If you watch the Biggest Loser, you will notice that the Fitness Ranch has undergone a dramatic transformation. Gone are the old treadmills, all the ellipticals and most of the other equipment. They’ve been replaced by more than 60 pieces of CYBEX’s high-performance strength and cardio equipment.

Here’s a rundown of some of the equipment the contestants are training on to get fit:

The CYBEX Arc Trainer

Combining elements of a climber, hiker, and skier, the CYBEX Arc Trainer produces gym-quality results in any environment, helping you get fit more efficiently than ever before. The 750AT is technically a high-end commercial machine, meaning it excels in the most demanding environment. However, it's also suitable for fitness-minded home users as well. Research shows that the CYBEX Arc Trainer burns more calories than any other cross trainer or elliptical on the market. The machine accomplishes this through its Reverse Arc motion technology, which engages the muscles—the quads and glutes—that demand the most energy from the body. That means a higher intensity and a bigger calorie burn, giving you a complete workout in the shortest time possible. The CYBEX Arc Trainer is also load-dependent, meaning that it scales the resistance level to the user's weight. This means that two users—one weighing 250 pounds and the other 125 pounds—receive an equivalent workout when choosing the same program type.

The CYBEX Bravo

A total training solution offering more options and versatility than any product in its class, the CYBEX Bravo allows users to work upper and lower body using hundreds of different isolated or fully-integrated exercises. The Bravo is distinguished by an advanced, biomechanically-correct design featuring two unique, patent-pending features:

• Progressive Stabilization Pad, which allows the user to incrementally modify their stability, introducing specific challenges for different functional tasks.
• Cable Position Adjustment, which lets not only the height to be adjusted, but also the width between cables. This allows the direction of resistance to be completely controlled. The versatility—which only CYBEX has—creates almost endless training possibilities.

Changing the approach to functional training, the Bravo is the world’s only piece of equipment that delivers both integrated motion and higher loading, for the optimum result. This means users get the benefits of fully-stabilized equipment (increased strength of isolated muscle groups) and non-stabilized devices (movement coordination and core integration).

The CYBEX 750T Treadmill

CYBEX 750T treadmills, which the contestants are training on, set the standard for treadmills. The 750T incorporates patented technologies that only CYBEX’s treadmills offer, such as a proprietary suspension system to dampen the shock effect, and the IS3 Intelligent Suspension System, an intelligent running deck that is soft in the landing zone, hard in the middle and rigid where the foot pushes off. Details make this the BMW of treadmills. A built-in fan is standard (and staying cool means a longer workout). The display is digital for easy instruction and feedback and the 10-key keypad lets you get started faster. The optional Personal Entertainment Monitor with made-for-iPod compatibility turns itself off to save energy and prolong monitor life.
