What is the ultimate dream of a fitness freak? Staying healthy is indeed top on the priority list but we were actually thinking along the lines of having the convenience of a personal gym. Absolutely nothing matches with the joy of exercising within the precincts of one’s home as and when one likes it. Owing to this little inherent desire, designers and developers have given us a whole range of home gym units that have beautifully blended the latest in technology with compactness and a modern decor friendliness seen never before.

And now it is 4 Fitness doing its bit. This concept training system has been designed for your living room (now, this is something totally new). An all in one gym unit, this machine has been able to successfully integrate fitness equipment that work on four areas, namely – endurance, strength, agility and mental fitness.

A very motivated research and development took the 4 Fitness team to think of specific needs and then come up with respective devices. These can be purchased seperately and can be assembled together easily as a whole system. A lot of input from doctors and fitness experts have gone into making this machine more effective than most of its peers.

With a fitness consciousness dawning in rapidly, we are not really surprised to spot one health regime armory almost every week, each claiming to be different and better than the rest. The Power Plate is one such training machine. Designed by a Japanese who goes by the name of Kenzo Takada, this ‘revolutionary’ system is expected to be a very efficient training device.

We hear that the Power Plate works on vibrations that help realize new levels of health, fitness and performance. And the latest from Takada tells us that he has redesigned his famous machine making it look ‘appealing’ (though many of you might not agree with looks) with a mix of pink, blue and green flowers against a backdrop red gloss. Apparently, the idea was to brighten up the exercise regimen that most people are either bored or dread to undertake on a regular basis.

The new Power Plate was unveiled in Paris recently. Part of a limited edition, this one sells for $10,900.
