SMOOTHIE PROGRAM
City Blends' new modified system, the City MiNi program, is designed for smaller footprint clubs and personal training/functional studios that may not have the clientele to support a full-blown juice bar. This new system is a compact, hand-pour program that uses a powerful tabletop blender, in lieu of the original BD-8 Blender Dispenser. The program allows club owners to offer the same City Blends smoothie menu to customers where space and finances are limited. The City MiNi program is a more economical option that is just right for customers looking to add a smoothie bar at a lower buy-in cost.

SHOWER HEAD
Bradley's new Individual Coverall Wall Shower was designed to help facility managers save time, money and space on both installation and maintenance.

The valve bodies and components of the shower are easily accessible from the front or by unscrewing the unit from the wall. Perfect for tight spaces, the compact and flexible Coverall Wall Shower easily accommodates both exposed and concealed piping, so there is no need to cut into the shower room tile during renovations, providing an ideal shower solution for recreational and health club facilities.

EARBUD ORGANIZER
Magneat is a personal electronics accessory that helps with headphone wire management and is designed to attach to virtually any type of fitness clothing.

TRAINING ACCESSORY
The DynaMax Core Trainer is a new hand-held device designed to replace many free-weight exercises while providing a powerful upper body and core workout. It works by using dynamic resistance from the product's internal gyroscope. It weighs 3 pounds and can generate up to 8,000 RPMs while producing up to 200 pounds of resistance. The DynaMax features variable body sculpting resistance, so people can work out at their own pace. The faster the internal gyroscope spins, the more resistance users experience.

GRAVITY TRAINER
FitWall is more than a climbing wall — it is a gravity training product that allows users to engage in a total body workout and burn up to 900 calories per hour. The FitWall allows people to move and hold their bodies up against the force of gravity so their abs are constantly engaged. Plus, while using FitWall, multiple groups of muscles are always fighting against gravity to burn calories, shape the body, improve hand-eye coordination and core balance. The FitWall can be installed anywhere, indoors or out, where there is adequate support. It also can be easily disassembled and relocated.
