The Motivator Exercise Machine
The Ultimate Exercise Machine! Nothing Else Even Comes Close!
Jan Miller invented the ultimate exercise machine….the Motivator…..in 1989. His company, Motivator, Inc. went out of business in 1997. They sold perhaps 300 units, of which we at Belmar Fitness were fortunate to get one. We are the only fitness facility in the country to have one….the other 299 are in physical therapy clinics. While the motivator is valuable for the severely deconditioned, it is absolutely awesome for high level strength athletes and anyone willing to train for great strength. Arthur Jones wrote many articles in the 70’s on various types of high intensity exercise. One article referred to a new variation that he called Hyper Exercise. Hyper referred to a style of performance that required 100% intensity on every rep….every positive and every negative rep. In effect the weight had to be maximum for the first rep, reduced appropriately for the second rep, reduced again for the third rep and so on. In practice, 3 to 5 reps was the ideal rep range and 1 set was performed. This style of performance had several drawbacks….first it required the assistance of at least 2 strong spotters….and second it was dangerous in that it required maximum force production on a first, fresh rep. Interest in HYper exercise quickly died out. Enter the Motivator. Jan Millers isokinetic creation enabled the user to set the speed of the positive rep(1-4″/sec), speed of the negative rep(1-4″/sec), number of reps, range of motion, minimum and maximum exertions, and made possible the following protocols: 1)Positive only 2)Negative only 3)Normal Pos/Neg 4)Isometric 5)Hyper Positive Only 6)Hyper Negative Only 7True Hyper Exercise While performing any of these protocols, the trainee is able to see accurate force out graphs of his current and last workouts….compared instantaneously. He knows exactly what is necessary to beat his prior efforts…he is motivated to improve, Real Life Results: A typical workout: Single Leg Leg Press Lat Pulldown Chest Press Row/Pull Exercise Shoulder Press Shrug/upright row Seated Dip Seven Exercises….Performed once every 7-14 days produced maximum results for most trainees……no one….repeat….no one out of over 500 trainees could show steady improvement with less than 7 days of recovery….and some actually did best at one session every 21 days. This machine is serious. One trainee eventually became so strong that his neg only lat pulldown increased from 280lbs to an average force of 660 lbs with a peak force of over 900 lbs. Since we didn’t want to dismember this trainee, we increased his reps and didn’t let him exert full force until he had weakened himself with at least 5 preliminary….at which point he could produce a negative force of “only” 710lbs. So if you want to try the most result producing exercise machine in existence….give us a call. But be prepared for the workout of your life!!!! Belmar Fitness…….732-681-8098 Joel Waldman
