I looked into ARX for awhile but the initial cost was steep and the monthly software fees made me rethink that route. Never had a chance to try one out but I’ve heard mixed reviews. What about a four nachine keep it simple startup: Chest press, pulldown, leg press and Low Back ie. Imagine Strength ?

Seriously?

We track each participant’s weights from workout to workout in our group sessions. Everyone starts each round of exercises together, and we time them according to the protocol we’re using that day. Throughout the workout, we closely observe each participant’s form, control, and effort. Combined with feedback from the trainee — and what we see during the session — we can determine when someone is ready to safely increase their weight. For tracking we use Google Sheets on a Tablet.

@Logan Bayless Copy & Paste! It’s very easy to take a client’s info from one group sheet to another group sheet. Our max is 5 people in a group so it’s manageable to change machine settings and weights between exercises.

Q: Why don’t you offer training twice a week?

Imagine Strength’s units look like they have a small footprint. Hoist makes several combo units that perform two exercises ie. Lat Pulldown / Seated Row.
