Aquatrend Water Workout Station: Engineered to take the work out of workouts.

NORTH PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BW HealthWire)--March 24, 1997--The Aquatrend Water Workout Station(tm), manufactured by Aquatic Trends Inc., is being acknowledged as a proven injury-free alternative to land-based exercise.

Recommended by doctors, physical therapists, personal trainers and sports celebrities, this patented and trademarked one-unit "water gym" is being used at military bases, nursing homes, universities, hotels, health clubs and spas, corporate fitness centers, physical therapy centers, condominiums and backyard pools around the nation.

The Aquatrend's rapid acceptance by medical and athletic professionals is based on its design which takes optimum advantage of the "cushioning effect" of water in supporting and protecting joints. Working with the Aquatrend, one can stretch and exercise without the forceful impact that causes strains and injury on dry land. While muscle fatigue and stiffness become virtually non-existent, the assistance and resistance of water makes the workout more efficient. Opposing muscles get worked simultaneously and equally. The result is a refreshing, effective and invigorating aerobic and anaerobic workout that is comfortable for people of all ages and physical conditions.

Constructed of stainless steel, the safe and sturdy Aquatrend is designed to work all muscle groups and is scientifically engineered for those with sports injuries, lower back pain, obesity, and some forms of arthritis. Stroke recovery and M.S. patients also benefit from the Aquatrend's cardiovascular conditioning, muscle toning and general body strengthening. The workout station is satisfaction-guaranteed by a complete refund within 30 days.

Expanding on the concept of "training without straining," Aquatic Trends Inc. is actively developing a full line of reasonably priced, easy to use, portable aquatic products that attach to the Aquatrend Water Workout Station. The patented Recumbent Variable Resistance In-Water Bicycle and Rowing Machine will be the first two products released. According to Milton Velinsky, president of Aquatic Trends Inc., an In-Water Stepper, Treadmill, Lat Bar, Parallel Bars, Ski Machine, Roman chair and other add-on items are all in development for future release.

Velinsky said the company also plans to open a number of Aqua-Plex Rehabilitation and Fitness Centers around the nation to accommodate most rehabilitation and therapy problems. Local doctors can prescribe use of these facilities, which will be insurance reimbursable.
