We're Excited!

Let's be honest. Fitness equipment is boring. Not only is it boring, it's very rare to see a major change in equipment. Sure, there may be one slight modification here or there. There may in fact, be a little more of this or that on a machine. But every once in a while, something super cool and exciting comes along(yes, we've unleashed our inner dorks). So what's the nifty innovation we're so excited about? Well let's back track a little bit first. So let's say you're workin' out solo, alone, without anyone to spot you should you decide to be over ambitious and go for your max lift. That's when a self spotting system like a Smith Machine comes in handy. It basically spots for you and if you're in trouble it'll stop you from crushing yourself. Good so far right? Well, yes, but not entirely. A Smith Machine only, moves vertically. Basically it locks you into one particular motion. Well, what if you don't want that motion? What if instead of doing a squat, you want to do a lunge? Well, in comes the Jones Machine. The Jones Machine basically let's you do whatever your little heart desires, and it's totally supportive of you (in the sense that it will spot you of course ;)). So basically it will let you do all your body work with a spotter, and it won't restrict your motion, you can move vertically or horizontally. The pay off? Well, the pay off is safety and effectiveness. We're excited about this piece of equipment and are pleased to see a solution to the Smith Quandry. I think this news is worthy of adding the Song Mr. Jones to your ipod for your next strength training session.
