Gym Equipment Integrity Strength Variable Resistance Compensator

Our engineers have developed a Variable Resistance Compensator "VRC" and believe they are the only company in the world to supply it as standard on applicable machines. "VRC" enables the user to adjust the starting position of an exercise arm, (like the swing-arm of a leg curl) to a position that suits their degree of flexibility or desired range of motion. While still maintaining the correct amount of varying resistance induced by the exercise cam.

Long ago variable resistance cams were designed and fitted to machines to provide different loads to the muscle at different stages of the repetition. For instance while performing a lying leg curl the user is dramatically weaker for the last 18 degrees or so of the repetition, so a properly designed exercise cam should provide a great deal less resistance from that point to prevent any sticking point. However in recent years manufacturers have begun designing machines with the provision to adjust the starting position.

The problem with these conventional style systems is that the swing arm adjusts independently from the cam, and therefore the machine does not maintain the correct variable resistance that the cam was originally designed to provide. If someone who is recuperating from a previous injury or surgery and has less than average flexibility adjusts the starting position forward to where it is comfortable for them to begin. The cam will no longer be decreasing the resistance at the correct part of the repetition. In some cases the cam may even be inducing maximum resistance when it should be providing the minimum. For an exerciser recuperating from an injury this is a potentially dangerous scenario. Our "VRC" automatically compensates for the changed start position and ensures the cam always provides the correct variable resistance. Our engineering team has implemented it in a way that does not require any extra thought, knowledge or effort on the part of the client or instructor. It is absolutely maintenance free, and covered under our 10 year structural warranty.

The Integrity machines which feature "VRC" are: Pec Dec, Fly machine, Seated Leg curl, Lying Leg Curl and Abdominal machine.
