Arc trainers are considered by many athletes to be the “correct” type of exercise machine, because it uses the arc of motion determined by biomechanics as matching the human body dynamic. It gives the user a full workout, strengthening abs, buttocks, hamstrings, calves, forearms, and shoulders. Due to its design and range of motion, many can complete and entire workout with this one machine. Cybex arc trainers are the premier manufacturer of these cross training machines. Some of the most important aspects of an arc trainer include:

• Training efficiency – arc trainers require less time for the same amount of cardiovascular exertion.
• Low-impact exercise – the motion of arms and legs involves no shock, only constant, fluidic motion. Those who have suffered knee or joint injuries with impact trainers often find they can continue their program with an arc trainer.
• More fun – one of the biggest barriers to consistent training is boredom. Arc trainers combine the motions of a stair climber, elliptical trainer, and cross country ski machine. This varies the exercise workout and continues to engage the user.
