XGym provides a high intensity, super-focused workout that gives amazing results in only 20 minutes twice a week. All training is done on a one-to-one basis, led by highly qualified trainers. Our technique is the safest, most effective and efficient workout on the market. Clients report noticeable improvements in as little as one week. The way this all works is to take a lighter weight than you could normally lift, and lifting it in a very slow, concentrated motion. This motion causes your muscles to recruit a much greater number of muscle fibers by eliminating wasted momentum. In this way your body gets a much more thorough workout and the risks associated with lifting heavy weights are eliminated.

Improved Body Strength

 Our workout is done with a controlled and highly focused movement. The cadence is 10 seconds rising and 10 seconds lowering the weight. This makes each repetition at least 20 seconds long. We also eliminate any pauses that would otherwise allow a moment of "cheating," thereby reaching muscle fatigue in a much more compact and complete manner. Reaching complete muscle fatigue or muscle failure in this way stimulates muscular growth that is lean and dense instead of bulky. In conventional weight training most lifters throw their weights up and down with a jerking, high force motion. They are using momentum to bring the weight up, not muscle. This type of movement is prone to causing injury. Multiple sets at faster speeds are not as effective for growing muscle as XGym’s focused, slow movements to complete fatigue.

Lowered Body Fat Percentage

 Weight training increases your muscle weight and tips the scale towards lower body fat percentage while increasing your metabolism. Depending on individual's activity levels, a pound of muscle has been shown to burn between 50 and 100 calories a day. After the age of 25, the average person loses half a pound a muscle and gains 1.5 pounds of fat per year. This causes your body fat percentage to increase and your metabolic rate to decline. The only sure way of changing this is strength training. Many other methods of weight loss actually cause muscle loss and lead to the yo-yo effect of losing and regaining the weight.

Increased Metabolism

 Increased muscle mass is wholly responsible for increasing your basal metabolic rate. If your metabolism is high you can afford to eat more calories! A person’s basal metabolism drops about 2 percent per decade starting at age 20. That is why middle-aged people who have not increased muscle mass, and who are eating the same as they did when they were 20, gain so much weight.

Maintained Bone Density

 Weight-bearing exercise, and more specifically strength training, has been proven to effectively prevent and reverse bone loss. Your bones respond to strength training in much the same way as your muscles do. With the appropriate amount of effort, your bones become stronger and increase in density. Research has shown, on average, an individual experiences an approximate one percent loss of bone mass per year. Osteoporosis is not a necessary or normal component of aging. Increasing calcium intake alone is not enough.

Lowered Blood Pressure

 High intensity workouts are an effective way to both prevent and treat high blood pressure. Research has found that people who maintain their fitness have a 34% lower risk of developing hypertension. The causes of elevated blood pressure include a hereditary disposition for the problem; obesity; high levels of fat, salt and alcohol in the diet; smoking; and too little exercise.

Improved Cholesterol Levels

 According to the latest studies, the main factors responsible for raising beneficial HDL cholesterol and lowering unhealthy LDL cholesterol are exercise and lowering body fat. High cholesterol contributes to build up in blood vessels, called atherosclerosis, a condition that contributes to the development of heart disease and other circulatory disorders.
