Greetings!

Exciting New Developments...  Get To the Good Bit Faster

As you are probably aware by now, we have launched the new phase of BodyTech -
Concept III, with a move to our superior new facility, 8 Nugent Street Mt Eden,
scheduled for late Spring.

We understand that time is your most precious commodity and that a lack of time
makes it challenging to accommodate a fitness regime into your schedule. That's why
our new Concept III facility takes our philosophy of fitness efficiency to a whole new
level - helping you get to the good bit faster than you ever thought possible.

And what's even more remarkable, as an existing member you'll pay absolutely
NO EXTRA FEES other than the small GST adjustment in October.

If you haven't already, be sure to pick up your Concept III information pack on your
next visit to the gym. To see the architect's impressions of this fantastic new facility,
go to www.bodytech.co.nz.

If you have any further questions check out our website or please call us.

A new look for a new era

To celebrate the launch of BodyTech Concept III and to bring to life our new
'Get to the good bit faster' positioning, we've developed a stunning new advertising campaign as well as refreshing all our brochures.

Rather than using models from talent agencies for the photographic shoot, we utilised
our own BodyTech staff and members. Thank you all for taking time out from your busy schedules for the casting and the shoot. The results are fantastic. The only models we
needed in the end were a Mother and baby, and a very well-behaved dog.

Keep an eye out for this great campaign starting July 1st.

MedFit - Good Pain vs. Bad Pain

According to Rachel Mahoney, BodyTech MedFit specialist*: When exercising hard almost everyone experiences some degree of pain
and discomfort. Some pain is the price you pay for working out
intensely and improving performance. However, it's crucial to
distinguish between "good pain" - the type that's part of the muscle strengthening process - and "bad pain" - the kind that may be an
injury.

The "burn" in your muscle during activity is what we call "good pain" and is the basis of
the popular phrase, "No Pain, No Gain". This pain should be short-lived and during the
activity only. You may also experience stiff and sore muscles for up to 48 hours post
exercise, especially when you're trying to improve your performance.

"Bad pain" is any pain felt during exercise that cannot be described as a "burn", it may
be a familiar pain that you get when your knee plays up or when your back gets sore.
It is also pain in the tendons, bone or joints after exercise or any pain that lasts over
one week. If you experience "bad pain" during an exercise you should stop the exercise.
If the pain is severe, you are concerned, or it does not go away within one week you
should seek medical advice.

If you have an injury that is isolated to a particular area of the body don't forget that
you can probably continue exercising by avoiding the area or completing different
exercises that don't stress the injury. In this case it is important to get clearance from
your health provider and recommendations on what to do / what not to do.

For more details come along to Rachel's 'Exercising with Pain' seminar on August 2nd.

* MedFit Specialists will always work with your medical team or current Personal
Trainer in the prescription of a safe exercise programme.

Personal Trainer Tip - High Intensity Cardio

"The benefits of high intensity cardio are increased heart efficiency, increased blood circulation, reduced cholesterol, reduced blood
pressure and reduced stress levels to name a few," says BodyTech Personal Trainer Chris Bedford.

High intensity cardio means working between 70-80% of your
maximum heart rate. A formula guide is 220 minus age = max heart rate; but an easier
way to monitor your heart rate is by purchasing a polar heart rate monitor from a
reputable sports store like Shoe Science.

Chris reiterates you spend less time on the machines, work a lot harder and continue
to burn energy when you leave the gym. By working harder your body is forced to adapt
more to the stress. Low intensity means your body isn't stressed nearly enough
therefore very little adaptations are made.

If you do not have access to a heart rate monitor, use the Rate of Perceived Exertion
(RPE) scale to determine how hard you are working - if you can hold a conversation,
then you are unlikely to be getting the maximum benefit from your workout.
