The adjustable Bi-Angular® Arms give the user several starting points for Chest Press, Shoulder Press and Incline Press.

The G10B comes with the Perfect Pec™ Station. Equipped with swivel arms, adjustable range of motion, and designed for both unilateral and bilateral movements so you can get the maximum stretch for deep muscle toning, and the most incredible upper body development possible. Born in the health club, the Seated Leg Curl / Leg Extension Station was designed with adjustable cams to precisely fit the exercise to the user. Round out your workouts on the High, Mid and Low Pulleys with Lat Pull Downs, Weight Resistance Crunches, and Standing Bicep Curls.

The vibration machines have amazing benefits that will help numerous health issues – from arthritis, sore backs, knee pain (torn cartilage/meniscus tears), to osteoporosis and poor blood circulation.  The machines also help in relaxing muscles before a golf game and ease tightened muscles after a long day at work.  What people don’t seem to understand is that these machines are not just for standing on…you must think of it as being your workout bench.  This is where you do your full workout – it’s a large flat platform that you can do push-ups and sit ups on, as well as dumbbell exercises, stretching and step-ups.  Aloyd has developed a poster with 36 different exercises and positions as a reference.  “We have sold 2 container loads in the last 3 weeks,” Richards says, “People just love them!  I have had many customers return saying they are feeling better and are seeing results – this is what I like to hear. This is not a gimmick!  The vibration machine really works – on one condition…that you use it.”

Richards also says the next most popular item this season is the Power Block.  Power Blocks are an entire set of dumbbells, ranging between 5 – 50lbs, that are combined into the size of one pair.  Sound amazing?  They are!  They take up 80% less space and are 60% less expensive than a normal set of dumb bells.  The Power Block also comes in a lighter issue of 3 – 24lbs.  They are extremely comfortable and perfectly balanced. There is even a model that allows for an expansion kit to bring it up to 120lbs.  Power Blocks were the #1 item for Christmas this past year – Aloyd had to bring in 2 full truck loads and still sold out of them.  Power Blocks are perfect for those who have a small living space, such condominiums and basement suites.  They can be moved easily – just pick up the entire set, one in each hand, and off you go.  Try that with a normal set of dumb bells!   Richards says “Power Blocks are going to be a staple in many homes. It just makes sense to use the most versatile and effective exercise tool for strength training ever developed.  It’s simply the world’s best dumb bell!”

Richards will soon be travelling to China again, to find and bring back more of the newest, most innovative fitness equipment in the world.  “It’s really a fun time to be in this business.”  He says “You never know what is going to be the next hot item.  I have found some of the coolest things in the strangest places.”
