Facility:
Training Floor 
----With over 4,400 square feet dedicated
to sole purpose of strength training and conditioning, Peak Performance
houses an unprecedented selection of fitness equipment ranging from
Olympic lifting platforms to a custom designed four-column cable
crossover system. Other specialty pieces include a Belt Squat Machine,
which places the load on the hips in order to avoid back strain,
a pulling sled, a vertical jump trainer, a water rower and an assortment
of other unique training devices listed under the section Unique
Training Equipment. We sought out many of the top instructors, personal
trainers and fitness specialists to staff this brand new state of
the art health, fitness and rehabilitation facility on W. 21st Street.
Fitness Studio 
----Semi-Private Fitness Classes, including
Yoga, Pilates and boxing/kickboxing, will be held in a spacious
windowed studio. Classes are open to the public and to the membership
at a reduced rate, but will be kept deliberately small to enhance
instructor-student interaction. In addition throughout the year,
they will also be offering a series of intense six-week programs
to be held in the studio, allowing clients to focus on specific
topics such as golf training, post-partum rehabilitation and skiing
preparation. The studio also contains three retractable boxing bags
for additional training opportunities.
Private Shower & Changing Rooms 
----Instead of communal showers, Peak
Performance has opted for private shower and changing rooms each
equipped with a shower, pedestal sink, vanity mirror, hair dryer
and amenities.

Equipment:
----Peak Performance offers the latest
in fitness technology to bring clients high quality equipment traditionally
not found in other fitness centers. Below is just a sampling of
the equipment found at Peak Performance.
----Customized Quadruple
Cable Crossover System: Custom designed
for Peak Performance, it contains 4 completely adjustable cable
columns and 4 sets of chinning stations. The steel weight stacks
are calibrated to the exact weights, even taking into consideration
the loading pins and the mechanical advantage of the pulleys.
----Pulling Sled:
This sled is attached to the athlete around
his/her waist as they perform resisted running drills. The sled
can be used alone or with the addition of extra weights. Sled work
is excellent for developing starting strength as well as increasing
an individualÕs overall work capacity.
----Functional Trainer:
The Cybex FT 360 is an extremely diversified
piece of equipment. The biggest difference between a standard cable
crossover system and the FT 360 is the independent action of the
arms of the machine. They can be maneuvered in such a variety of
positions that the number of exercises that can be performed on
it is limitless.
----Verti-Max Jump
Trainer: Used by many collegiate & professional
teams for increasing an athlete's vertical jump as well as first
step quickness, the athlete wears a hip harness attached to a series
of pulleys and cables.
----Belt Squat Machine:
This machine places the load directly
onto the lower extremities without placing any load on the upper
back. The athlete wears a belt around his/her hips and the load
comes from directly below them and attaches to the belt.
----Ivanko Competition
Bars & Plates: Made of steel and completely
encased in a dense rubber, they come in a multitude of colors to
help designate the differences in weight. In addition, these Olympic
Bumper Plates and bars are calibrated to the exact weight that is
denoted.
----Plyo Boxes: The
athlete performs single leg or double leg jumps on, off and over
these unique wooden boxes of varying sizes in a predetermined fashion
in order to develop power.
----Reverse Hyperextension
Machine: This apparatus allows the user
to raise their lower body upward from a hip flexed position. The
individual's torso is stabilized on a pad as the lower body is raised
to the same level as their torso.
----Two Olympic Platforms:
Each features a combination of thick rubber
flooring flanking a beautiful oak surfacing. These platforms are
specially designed for practicing the Olympic Lifts which include
the Snatch and the Clean & Jerk.
----Deadlift Platform:
This 6'x 8' platform is utilized for all variations
of Deadlifting, including Conventional, Sumo-Style and the Trap
Bar method.
----Full Set
of Custom Chains & Bands: The Chains
and/or Bands are utilized in conjunction with traditional exercises
such a bench pressing and squatting. By attaching the chains and/or
bands to the bar prior to performing the exercise, one can change
the stimulus of the load and therefore the training effect. These
tools are designed for use with an advanced trainee.
----Eccentric Hooks
(weight releasers): These hooks are
attached to the ends of the Olympic bar. Additional weights are
placed on the hooks so that the athlete experiences an additional
load in the descent portion (eccentric action) of the movement.
Once the hooks touch the ground they release and the athlete accelerates
upward (concentric action) with a lighter load.
----Dura-Ball Pro
Swiss Balls: These are without a doubt
the best Swiss Balls on the market. They can safely be utilized
in conjunction with weight training as they are designed with an
anti-burst system.
----Scorpion Swiss
Ball Bench: Designed specifically for
the Swiss Ball, it provides a foot hold position so the athlete
can anchor his/her legs while performing dumbbell work or explosive
abdominal work with a medicine ball.
----Medicine Ball
Rebounder: A device similar to a mini-trampoline
except it can be angled. It provides users with the ability to perform
medicine ball tosses by themselves.
----Professional
Boxing/Kick Boxing Equipment: We have
a double-ended striking bag plus 4 heavy bags filled with a combination
of water and foam, which are gentler on joints. Our products range
from Ringside Gloves, Focus Mitts and Bags to Fairtex Muay Thai
Training Equipment and are the same tools that the professionals
train with.
----Grip Training
Equipment: Peak Performance has a variety
of barbell and dumbbells of varying diameters ranging from 1"-2".
In addition, we have various other tools developed for the sole
purpose of improving one's grip.
----Agility Ladder,
Cones & Hurdles: These devices are utilized
to develop speed, agility and quickness. By setting these devices
up in different patterns or sequences, the athlete performs a series
of timed movement patterns.
----Water Rower:
a rowing machine that actually uses
water as its resistance instead of air.
----Incline Trainer:
a treadmill designed to go up to a 50 degrees
incline and up to 6 MPH.
