Years of research and science have proven that a regularly scheduled program of exercise at least three times a week can reduce weight, improve self-image, strengthen the heart, improve the quality of life in individuals, and more likely extend your life. Cuts fitness for men is designed to do just that.

Designed for men of all ages and fitness levels, Cuts fitness for men features the "body cuts" system, a comprehensive, 30-minute circuit training and ardiovascular-based workout that appeals to men that don't have the time to spend hours in a traditional gym. Our current members range in age from 19 years to well in their 70s.

There are eight hydraulic machines and eight cardio workout stations for a total of 16 stations. Each station is designed to be worked on for 40 seconds with a total of three times around the circuit. During the three circuits the heart rate is checked three times to ensure you are working at 70 to 80 percent of your maximum heart rate, it is at this point where you burn fat, build muscle and lose weight.

The hydraulic machines do what is called a (double positive) the resistance is both ways so you work two muscle groups at the same time if you push up, then you pull down, etc. Most importantly, the equipment adjusts automatically to your level of fitness and assists in maintaining an elevated heart rate for 30 minutes. Over the course of the half hour, nearly every muscle group in the body is worked.
