The Basics

SuperSlow is a form of progressive resistance strength training. As the name implies, it involves very slow speed of movement. Raising the weight in 10 seconds and lowering in 10 seconds. This slow speed maximizes safety, improves concentration of muscular effort, and minimizes momentum for better loading of the muscles we are seeking to exercise. SuperSlow sessions are conducted by appointment, one-on-one with certified instructors. Since proper exercise requires total concentration, our facilities are clinically controlled environments, featuring no mirrors, no music, no sweating, and no telephones. Our exercise equipment is specially selected, designed, and maintained to provide the most effective exercise in the least time. SuperSlow sessions require 25 minutes or less, are performed no more than twice per week, and provide all the cardiovascular and strength training needs your body requires for immediate, continuous, and worthwhile results.

The Biology

Between the ages of 20 and 50, the average individual loses 15 pounds of muscle and gains 30 pounds of fat. Regaining or building muscle improves bone density, vascular efficiency, cosmetics, joint stability, strength and general endurance, and metabolic rate.

Proper strength training can quickly produce additional muscle tissue and concurrent improvements in its cardiovascular support systems. However, the BODY, not the exercise, produces these results. The human body is an economical organism, which resists change unless stimulated by a demand exceeding its current ability. Exercise, if intense-enough, provides this stimulus, issuing an ultimatum to the body to adapt and enhance. Exercise, continued much past 30 minutes, is low on intensity, short on stimulus, and produces minimal results. By its nature, intense exercise quickly fatigues the working muscles, and therefore must be brief. As intensity increases, so does the stimulus, and the larger the stimulus, the greater and long lasting the results. These results are biologically expensive, and most of all, time consuming. SuperSlow provides the safest, most productive form of intense exercise, and one or two properly spaced sessions each week allow time for the body to produce optimum results.
