The Megaformer
We are proud to offer the MK3+ Megaformer at our studio. This Megaformer was carefully constructed to provide effective resistance, range of motion and angle, along with specific workouts. These workouts adhere to strict tempo and duration standards to ensure that each client can find the proper intensity to stimulate the body's adaptive changes.
ANATOMY OF THE MEGA
PLATFORM: There are two stationary platforms, one in front and one in back of the the Mega. They are used to stand, sit and kneel on.
CARRIAGE: Located between the two stationary platforms, this moving platform (carriage) creates stability in your body. There are numbers and lines that will help you work in proper alignment.
HANDLE BARS: The handle bars are on the front and back of your Mega. They increase the amount of moves you can do, ensuring that class is always interesting! By using different hand placements they can be used to increase or decrease the intensity of moves.
CABLES: The Mega has a set of black and red cables at the back of the machine. These are connected to and pull the weight of the carriage. They are used for a variety of exercises. For certain moves they can provide additional stability and support.
SPRINGS: The Megaformer uses springs for resistance. It ranges in weight, some moves you will do on very heavy springs, other moves are more challenging with little to no tension. The springs are yellow (lighter) and red (heavy). Yellow springs, when at the front of the machine, provides additional support while red springs are used for heavy exercises. At the back of the machine, yellow springs add more resistance as you are then pulling the tension.
BUNGEE: The bungee is at the front of the machine and can be used for multiple exercise, most commonly used for bungee kicks which will have your a** on fire, you will love it.
BALANCE BAR: A tall balance bar is available to you for just that, balance during standing moves or have it there just in case when you are trying a new challenge. We also use it as an additional weight for some moves!
