1. No need for a personal trainer, coaching is included, 6 days a week

Glow coaches give one on one training to every member and ongoing training to makes sure you are using good form and working out properly.
If you have arthritis, other pain or injury, or other mobility concerns, a Glow coach will help you adjust your workout so that you will gain all the benefits of the workout and possibly increase your mobility.

2. Workout safely - hydraulic strength training means no weight-lifting injuries

The Glow circuit uses a special type of strength training called, "hydraulic resistance." The machines give the body all the benefits of a weight-lifting workout, but with no weights.
Instead of weights, the body works again a force similar to water - the faster you push or pull, the harder it becomes.
By eliminating weights from strength training, we take away the usual dangers of weight-bearing exercises that can cause injury, such as lifting too much weight, dropping weights, and many other types of strains and pains.
We show you how to monitor your heart rate so that you are always working out safely - this also helps to keep you in the best "burn" zone.

3. Strengthen your bones - machines that are safe enough even with Osteoporosis

Almost 1 in 4 women over 50 have Osteoporosis, which causes bones to become more frail and break more easily.
Strength and weight bearing exercises can help to build stronger bones, even later in life. But the danger is that if bones are already frail, the risk of lifting weights can sometimes create breaks or further damage.
The solution? The Glow hydraulic strength training circuit builds muscle and bone strength safely. Injuries often happen from lifting too much weight, but at Glow it is impossible to lift more weight than you can handle because on a hydraulic system to increase the resistance, you must move faster, so there is no weight to hold or drop which means no breaks, strains, or injuries.
The Glow workout also improves balance and coordination, which helps to prevent falls.

4. The Ideal Workout for Women

The Glow workout was designed just for women, targeting all the major muscle groups in the body that women prefer to tone and strengthen for a lean muscle tone.
Our circuit machines target all the muscles in your abs and core, works your legs, your glutes, your shoulders, arms, chest, and back. It is a full-body workout in just 30 minutes.
Multi-task! By using hydraulic machines, you can do more with your workout. You will work twice the muscles in half the time by working in both directions. You will get a cardio workout at the same time as a strength, for a two-for-one workout benefit every single visit.
