 Strong partners for fitness
The importance of fitness centers increases because of a rising interest in healthy living and physical fitness. But the range of fitness centers is manifold. Therefore many people give up in finding the right one. In this case, certificates of quality can be a great help to make the decision. The Polar OwnTestTM System comes into play here. The largest non-commercial associations for education und health care in German fitness economy (DSSV e.V., DFAV e.V., DFLV e.V.) acknowledge the certificate of quality of the “Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Gesundheit – Fitness – Wellness”, which is called “Prae-Fit-Gesundheits-Studios, geprüfte Qualität”.
One criterion to achieve the “Prae-Fit” certificate for fitness centers is the initial testing for new members. The Polar OwnTestTM System accomplishes all standards for initial testing. Therefore an essential criterion for choosing the right fitness center should be the availability of Polar OwnTestTM System.
On the basis of the test results the OwnTestTM System develops training recommendations, including the approved Polar Own functions. These can be realized perfectly with Polar’s new fitness computer F55. It allows a safe, comfortable and effective training. F55 gives personal recommendations for warm-up, cardio training and weight training.
While the Polar Keeps U FitTM Own Workout Program tells you how often, how hard, and how long you need to exercise, the Polar Body Workout gives personal guidance for muscular strength training. The Polar OwnRelaxTM is a quick and easy way to check your body’s state of relaxation. By means of Polar OwnTestTM System’s training recommendations and their realization with Polar F55 it’s possible to lower your BodyAge by several years and get your body and mind in balance.

Comfortable total body exercise
The new REX7000 from SCIFIT is Revolutionizing Exercise™. The new Orbi-Linear™ exercise movement is like nothing you have ever experienced. The kinetic energy builds as your legs move in a natural motion and your arms in a smooth arc making for a comfortable total body exercise machine. The REX7000 uses SCIFIT’s patent pending Tele-Rail™ technology allowing for easy transitions from the forward and reverse directions due to the natural acceleration and deceleration of the Tele-Rail system. This unit is made for the fitness population and especially for the older fitness population; however, the REX7000 can and will serve the medical wellness market. The silky-smooth arm and leg movement are perfect for both markets.
Not only does the REX7000 work as a cardiovascular machine, but serves as a strength unit by using SCIFIT’s Iso-Strength program. Iso-Strength is a great introduction to using strength pieces because it allows the user to set the maximum RPM, the exercise machine then provides a level of resistance, or workload, necessary to prevent the user from exceeding the RPM ceiling.
The REX7000 will also incorporate SCIFIT’s Fit-Key™ documentation technology. If user’s wish they can add the Fit-Key system and create their own personal workout and document their results on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis.

 High growth rate in
Medical Wellness and Prevention
The subject-matter health and “medical wellness” resounds throughout the land. This is the topic also at the FiBo2006. Beside back exercises and cardio also prevention treatments against cellulite and legs diseases come to the fore. After all around nine tenths of all German adults suffer from weak veins. The chronic venous insufficiency, identified by cellulite, varicose veins and oedemas, is already according to the official “Bonner Venenstudie” a nation disease; the young age at entry and increasing expectancy of life cause additional costs. That applies also to arterial circulatory disorders: arteriosclerosis in the legs is deemed to be a reason for risks of heart attack or apoplectic stroke, - with 54 % of cause of death the No. 1 in the statistic! That is why the experts of the health economy encourage rightly: strengths of prevention to lower therapy expenses! The awareness of the population to make arrangements of health maintenance is growing; and this trend provides fitness- and wellness facilities with new lucrative potentialities.
The Weyergans High Care AG is setting new global standards in the prevention therapy of cellulite and legs diseases. It forms the market of prevention with a lead over of Innovations- and Know-How, scores of patents and survey in the range of angiology, phlebology and lymphology as well as cosmetology. The successful concept is now also going to show the international fitness- and wellness segment how to strike a new path: wellness is going to be medical.
The company offers professional facilities if desired an implementation of a complete custom-made department for medical wellness. They provide the required products as well as education and training for employees. Since essential components are patented, also fitness clubs, wellnesshotels or competence partners will become a licensed party and will benefit from exclusive territories and competition protection, which is helpful to commit new members or wellness guests on a long-term base to the facility and to win new customers.
