MEDWAY, MA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 3, 2000

E-Commerce Site to Service Consumer, Dealer and International Markets

Cybex International, Inc. (AMEX: CYB), the leading manufacturer of fitness equipment, today announced the launch of its new e-commerce web site providing customers worldwide, 24 hours a day online shopping as well as the ability to access a wide range of support services including online spare parts ordering and realtime access to order status and tracking. eCybex.com provides customers the convenience of browsing, shopping and ordering personal fitness products as well as training and lifestyle education services. Consumers purchasing fitness products through eCybex.com are guaranteed the same level of local service and support as they receive today.

Peter Haines, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, &uot;Today, customers want and expect access to product, customer services and educational information from their own desktop, 24 hours a day. By harnessing the power of the Internet and the newest enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, we are delivering this realtime information and shopping capability to our customers. Our goal is to offer our dealers, distributors and consumers not only the information they need to make an intelligent purchase decision but also the convenience of secure order entry, order tracking and payment processing.&uot;

Mr. Haines continued, &uot;Customers will be able to browse and shop our entire product line of cardiovascular and strength equipment products. Our easy-to-use web site will also enable consumers to confidently purchase products knowing that the delivery, installation and service will be completed by a qualified local service provider or dealer.&uot;

From a business-to-business perspective, trade customer response to the e-commerce initiative has been uniformly enthusiastic. Mark Fischer of Gilles Cycling and Fitness in Evansville, Indiana, said, &uot;Everything from the initial stage of quoting products to tracking the arrival of a product or part after the sale has become easier with the enhancements made to the site. The volume of phone calls to our inside support at Cybex has been reduced and we have been given leads that quickly turn into sales. I have personally sold a PG400 to a customer who saw the product on your web site and bought the gym sight unseen after a simple follow-up e-mail!&uot;

Cybex's international distributors also see eCybex.com as a major benefit. David Gooch, After Sales Service Manager of U.K's Forza Fitness Group, said, &uot;The time difference is a huge challenge for us. We are now able to save hours each day by accessing the information right out of your main system. We can provide much more accurate information to our customers because we can track orders that have shipped by drawing the information from the web site and contacting the carriers for delivery dates.&uot;

Cybex International, Inc. is the first fitness equipment manufacturer to provide realtime, online access to all order information, integrating e-commerce into its business system. Logging on to eCybex.com, customers can determine the exact status of each order and each order line item. Once the product is shipped customers can track the physical movement of their order using information provided by Cybex's shipping partner's web site. eCybex.com also gives customers the ability to purchase spare parts from anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The site provides existing customers the convenience of using a credit card or using trade credit.

Cybex International, Inc. is a strength and cardiovascular fitness equipment company which develops, manufactures and markets premium performance, professional quality, human performance products for the commercial and consumer markets.
