Ab Coaster®: Hard Abs Made Easy
Unlike traditional crunches which work your abs from the top down, the Ab Coaster works your abs from the bottom up. The Ab Coaster’s patented design delivers an intense abdominal workout that combines the simplicity of the crunch with the effectiveness of the hanging leg raise.
The Ab Coaster:
* Promotes core stabilization while exercising the abdominals through
a full range of motion with every rep.
* Features a multi-angle adjustable carriage which keeps you off the floor
and allows you to effectively train all areas of the abdominal region including
the hard to reach oblique muscles.
* Has a curved track that mimics spinal flexion, virtually eliminating hip flexor
involvement and low back stress.
The Ab Coaster's plate loading resistance system allows anyone from the true beginner to the professional athlete to experience a simple yet intense abdominal work out with every rep.
The Ab Coaster is currently used in thousands of gyms and health clubs throughout the World, including over 450 Gold's Gym locations.

REAL WORK. REAL RESULTS.
In today’s world, the importance of exercise is undeniable, but time is in
increasingly short supply. At StairMaster, we have always been focused on
providing fitness options that require real effort from users, but reward that
effort with real results. The legendary StairMaster® StepMill® has set the bar
for effort and results in fitness facilities for over 25 years, and StairMaster®
StairClimbers have done the same for almost as long. We are proud to be known
as the workout your members love to hate.
At StairMaster today, we offer the same high level of quality and performance
with a modern flair. Utilizing ergonomic enhancements such as improved
handrail placement and articulating foot pedals, we provide the most
comfortable user experience possible, allowing climbers to challenge their limits
and reach their goals. StairMaster® products also provide an optional LCD TV
screen, and offer more accessible storage options for accessories such as water
bottles and MP3 players.
Many things have changed since we started in 1983, but some things remain
the same: We are still dedicated to fitness, users still love to hate our products,
and no facility is complete without StairMaster.
RIDE RIGHT.™
In 1995, Schwinn introduced the first production bike designed specifically
for indoor cycling, and we have been at the forefront of the indoor cycling
phenomenon ever since. Our legacy as a bike company – we started
building bikes 115 years ago! – has positioned us as the leader in innovation
and design for indoor cycling bikes. Features such as Smart Release™ hubs,
oversized bottom brackets, and ISIS bearings were all pioneered by Schwinn
and followed by the rest. Schwinn® indoor cycling bikes have always been
– and will always be – about real bike performance first. Our designs are
focused on providing optimal user mechanics, true bike feel, and longterm
durability.
Today we have raised the bar in indoor ride technology with the new
Schwinn® Authentic Cycling series bikes and MPower™ consoles. Our new
generation of equipment provides enhanced user fit and bike feel, a modern
look, and the breakthrough ability to measure user work in watts and
calories during class rides. This combination sets the stage for the
best group cycling experience available.
By combining Schwinn® bikes and consoles with our global team of
Schwinn® Master Trainers, we offer the complete indoor cycling solution.
The Schwinn® Education program is designed around the basic principles
of coaching and authentic cycling, and can help any instructor provide an
enhanced class experience for their riders, creating a group exercise
experience that keeps members coming back again and again.
