A 30-minute Helix workout is like a 60-minute workout on another machine. Come Island Fitness and try the Helix Recumbent Lateral Trainer today!
Most machines work front-to-back. The Helix turns tradition on its side- literally. With lateral (or side-to-side) movement, you use more muscles, which means you burn more fat than during a traditional workout- in the same amount of time. The Helix’s patented motion tones your butt, core, and inner/outer thighs better than old-fashioned cardio machines.
Side to Side
Traditional machines work the front and backs of legs: Helix workout sculpts the entire lower body 360°.
Better Than Elliptical
A scientific study at the University of Tampa found the Helix outperformed a leading elliptical on 4 out of 5 muscle groups, with 50% more core activation, 50% more outer thigh activation and 40% more glute activation.
Comprehensive Workout
Helix users achieve target heart rates faster and activate more muscles than traditional cardio users. What’s the result? A better workout in less time.
Strengthen and Protect Your Knees Not only does the Helix not harm your knees, it actively strengthens and protects them by targeting a muscle that other cardio machines ignore: The Gluteus Medius, a key supportive muscle for the knees. And there is zero pounding, zero impact on joints.
40% More Glute Activation
With Helix, you work the total leg: front, back, and sides, translating to real glute sculpting. 23% Faster Achievement of Target Heart Rate
With Helix, you’ll achieve your target heart rate faster, allowing you to achieve real results in substantially less time. 50% More Outer Thigh Work
It makes sense: you can’t get perfectly sculpted legs if you ignore half your leg, the way traditional cardio machines do! The Helix’s lateral motion focuses on the total leg, including the outer thighs, translating to incredible results.
