VACU POWER
Vacupower is a machine that combines two well-known and widely accepted methods in the field of exercise and beauty, respectively. The aerobic exercise and the sub-pressure or as it is usually called, Vacu. An important point to note is the fact that we are not talking about sub-pressure conditions, nor about exercising in weightless conditions, as some may claim or have already claimed.
And this is because our body is from the waist down in the vacuum chamber - inside which is also the corridor we walk on - but from the waist up our arms, torso and of course our head are in the "normal" environment .Therefore, we do not breathe air of different density and content, as should be the case if we were in different conditions.
WHAT IS THE VACU POWER METHOD
It is a machine that combines two methods, aerobic exercise - walking on a fitness treadmill and vacuum - Vacu. Specifically, the corridor and our body, from the waist down, is inside a vacuum chamber. Our torso and head are in the "normal" environment. That is why we also wear the special belt, to make this separation. The sensation one has during the application is similar to that of walking in the sea.
WHAT EXACTLY IS GOING ON
The creation of negative pressure conditions in combination with aerobic exercise results in our body sending large amounts of blood to the "problematic" areas (that is, those located inside the chamber). In these areas, the tissues do not get enough blood and this is exactly why fat stores or even cellulite have been created. Let me explain here, that the largest amount of body fat is stored in specialized cells, the fat cells. Many fat cells together constitute adipose tissue, the largest part of which is subcutaneous, under the skin. The function of fat cells is to synthesize and store triglycerides when we eat and then release fatty acids into the blood during fasting periods. In this way, fatty acids are made available to the rest of the body's cells as sources of energy. Aerobic exercise enhances the burning of fatty acids in the muscles.

TIPS
To get the best possible results from the application of Vacu power you should follow a diet low in fats and simple sugars and do at least 12 sessions. Vacu power is addressed to everyone, however there are also some contraindications, such as circulatory disorder, pregnancy, epilepsy, pacemaker, acute phlebitis, high/low pressure. Combined, strength training would boost your effort.
A FEW WORDS ABOUT CELLULITIS
Cellulite is the storage of fat molecules between the skin and subcutaneous tissue, so the texture of the connective tissue changes and the cells grow. These large cells unhealthily bind water in the tissue and other toxins due to malfunctioning food metabolism, changing the texture and appearance of the skin. The phenomenon of cellulite occurs more in women than in men. The percentage of men affected by cellulite is minimal, while at least one in three women presents a typical skin change. This is probably due to the fact that the male body produces different hormones than the female sex. Something that many people mistakenly believe is that cellulite depends on age. Science has proven that cellulite can appear even from the period of puberty. I should add that from infancy and childhood the skin is burdened by fatness, even the baby who shows gluttony and starts eating more freely, paves the way for cellulite. As strange as it may seem, the number of fat cells under the skin begins to multiply and the elasticity of the fibers and connective tissue decreases. This is like a little advice for mothers, so that they know how much their children should pay attention to their diet even from an early age. In old age, fighting cellulite is more difficult and requires patience.
Book a trial at the gym and feel the benefits of Vacu power from the very first session. Talk to your trainer about how it can be incorporated into your training. Beginners as well as advanced players can try it and adjust the degree of difficulty to them.
Pilates Reformer
But what is a Pilates Reformer? This particular bed is called a reformer and on it you will not lift weights and bars, you will use the resistance of the springs along with your body weight!
Miha Bodytec
The basis for health, wellness and a beautiful body is an active muscular system. Physical well-being is also linked to mental well-being. These positive effects can be achieved through electromuscular stimulation, since it can act throughout the body. As is the case with miha bodytec. Through the integrated method, the results are immediately visible and noticeable, because it acts deep below the surface of the entire body.
Power Plate
The most modern, alternative way to exercise offers you the opportunity for more enjoyable and efficient exercise. Based on the power of vibrations (an application of astronautics), the Power Plate requires the least amount of effort from you, bringing results that will amaze you! 25 minutes of exercise with the Power Plate is equivalent to two to two and a half hours of intensive weight training.
Infrared
Infrared is a device that emits thermal infrared waves in the form of red light. The system is combined with aerobic exercise (usually an exercise treadmill) and provides the benefits of aerobic exercise much faster. The radiation raises the body temperature, thereby increasing blood circulation. The increased circulation causes more sweating and a parallel increase in metabolism.
Weights
Weight training not only improves your appearance, but also benefits your health. Just two weight training sessions a week are enough to make a difference. See why you should love weight training more and incorporate it into your daily routine
