What will a PACE or Kids PACE Express circuit do for your club and members? I finally figured out how to copy the PACE and Kids PE Promo DVD's to my computer and upload to YouTube. I hope you enjoy:

Family Express Clubs: the Convenient Fitness Centers of the Future
Look at all of the convenience stores out there. The industry leader 7-Eleven alone boasts over 30,000 locations worldwide. Why so many? Obviously there is a need; they would not stay open if there was not a demand. What attracts someone to shop at such a store? Certainly not their great prices or vast selection of goods; rather, it is a matter of “convenience”. A consumer can literally pull up to within a few feet of the door, run in, quickly purchase their much needed item and be back in their car before the radio commercial ends. To go into a large chain grocery store for the same item would an entirely different matter. First, you would need
to find a parking spot, take the long trek into the store, search the aisles for the item, try to find the “10 items or less” line without someone sneaking in 12 items, explain why you don’t have their store’s discount keytag and why you don’t want one, then trek back to your car (which now has 2 shopping carts resting against it).
Today’s large chain health clubs are much like these large grocery stores in terms of inconvenience, time consuming and intimidation. Perhaps this is why less than 20% of the US population belongs to such clubs? Perhaps this is why more and more family “express” fitness are appearing on the scene. These facilities overcome the “no time”, “intimidation” and “inconvenient” barriers that keep most people out of the large clubs. Many of these facilities offer hydraulic circuit training programs for both adults and kids. Hydraulic resistance equipment does not cause muscle soreness, requires no skill or coordination, yet produces lean muscle toning and provides a high calorie burn cardiovascular workout in a time efficient 30
minutes. There are no intimidating weight stacks, seat settings, belts, pulleys, electricity required or air hoses with hydraulic resistance equipment; just lots of movement (and sweat).
Let’s face it, with today’s fast paced society and hectic schedules, families have little time to spend together- much less work out together. Our PACE and Kids PACE Express programs are the answer. Our adult PACE program is self-administered with cues indicating when it is time to “change stations”; while our Kids PACE Express program is designed to be conducted in a class format with instructors (kids do not have the attention span to listen to a CD tell them what to do next). Both programs are designed to provide strength and cardiovascular workouts in 30 minutes. 2-3 workouts a week are all you need to see results quickly. These programs can fit into the busiest of schedules allowing you time for important things- enjoying your family!

Te-Moak Indian Diabetes Program Adds New Kid's Fitness Program to Help Fight Childhood Diabetes & Obesity
The Te-Moak Diabetes Program in Elko, NV has recently added the Kids PACE Express Circuit Training Program to its Kid Fit program to help combat childhood diabetes and obesity.
Trabuco Canyon, CA. August 25, 2008 -- Pro*Fit Enterprises, manufacturers of PACE and Kids PACE Express hydraulic circuit training programs announces that the Te-Moak Diabetes Program will become the first facility on an Indian reservation in the US with its kid's fitness program.
Rande LaDue, President of Pro*Fit (www.kidspaceexpress.com) says "We are proud that the Te-Moak Diabetes program has agreed to become a National Showcase Club for Kids PACE Express. I applaud Sharon Keams and her staff for their efforts to help fight childhood diabetes and obesity. We are raising a generation of unfit kids; childhood obesity has reached near epidemic levels, especially in Native American populations. Kids PE is designed to introduce kids ages 5-13 into a healthy fitness lifestyle in a safe, fun, non-intimidating program. Unlike scaled down weight stack machines for kids, Kids PE is very safe on growing bones and joints and offers a very high calorie burn in a fun "fitness musical chairs" format without muscle soreness or intimidation.
The two major keys to the success of this program are safety and fun. Obviously, a program for kids must first be safe. Kids PE equipment has been designed by medical, fitness and recreation professionals to ensure a safe effective program. Next, a program must be fun. If it's not fun, the kids will not stick with it; if it is fun, they will keep coming back and they will see results very quickly.
Sharon Keams, Assistant Coordinator of the Te-Moak Diabetes Program, says, "We are very excited about being the first Native American facility in the US to offer this much needed program. This reflects our commitment to our community by offering the highest quality equipment, program and services. This has taken a long time to develop, but we are thrilled that we are finally here to help the kids."
Roberta Sam, Kid Fit Coach, says, "We are looking forward to introducing kids into fitness in a fun way and seeing the results the kids will experience with this new program. With the Kids PACE Express program, there is no intimidation or peer pressure since there are no weight stacks or muscle soreness. The hydraulic machines will match the effort of each child, so everyone will be working at their own pace. We expect to have lots of fun and to see lots of smiles and sweat."
