Crafted by the renowned Italian architect and designer Antonio Citterio, the Kinesis Personal embraces the concept that workouts should be based on natural human movement—and that exercise equipment need not resemble a Bowflex. Attractive enough to throw on a wall in your bedroom, the device has six cable handles that enable you to perform more than 200 exercises and engage entire muscle systems, instead of isolating individual muscles like standard gym machines.
The pulleys can move in every direction, which means you can replicate the motions of sports like tennis or snowboarding to bring your game—and your physique—to the next level. ($10,000; technogym.com)
Kinesis Personal is the ultimate in designer furnishing for home fitness or wellness spaces.
It returns you to the origins of human movement, freeing you to re-discover the four fundamental physical abilities: endurance, balance, strength and flexibility.
Kinesis provides a unique workout that restores the right balance between mind and body, thereby helping to improve your quality of life.
The revolutionary feature is the patented “Fullgravity” design, inspired by nature and science to allow unrestricted, enjoyable movement and to attract more and more people to Wellness.
KINESIS IS EASY TO USE MULTI-PURPOSE
Using the three handgrips in the ALPHA, BETA and GAMMA positions, more than 200 different exercises are possible without having to make any adjustments.
Specific muscles (chest, back, abs, glutes and quadriceps) are exercised in the standard movements whereas the combined movements work several different muscles synergistically at the same time (front and back kinetic chains, core and multi-chain).
QUIET AND SAFE
The resistance applied is regulated by a sophisticated, technological and patented innovation whereby a revolutionary system of forces gradually increases the resistance quietly, smoothly and in total safety.
ERGONOMIC
The fine polished aluminium alloy arms supporting the cables are the product of Technogym’s technological expertise. Each arm has three rotating systems, referred to as “pivots”, that the cable slides through during outward and return movements. Not only are the pivots a highly attractive feature, they also absorb sound. The comfortable clear handgrip is magnetic and, in the rest position, can be attached to the pivots on the arms.
FULLGRAVITY
Movement now knows no limits thanks to Technogym’s international patented technology. The pivoting pulley system provides smooth movement in all dimensions.
DISPLAY
The workload can be selected with one simple touch on the easy-to-use and appealingly understated interface. In fact, all you have to do is turn the setting in the middle of the wall to see the resistance level, from 0 to 20, on the Soft Touch Digital Display.
KINESIS: 200 EXERCISES IN 1 SQ. METRE*
The most all-round piece of equipment for home fitness or for use in dedicated personal wellbeing areas.
Kinesis combines design and biomechanics with a special attention to its surroundings.
The result is the first ever piece of designer furnishing providing more than 200 exercises in only one square metre (* 10,76 sq. feet).
When Kinesis is not in use, it occupies very little space so it can be fitted almost anywhere.
