Parkside Pools and Gym have purchased a SKILLMILL

We are excited to introduce you to the latest member of our family - meet the Skillmill. Guranteed to add sweat to any exercise regime!

What actually is a SKILLMILL? –

Unlike your standard treadmill the TECHNOGYM SKILLMILL, is a non-motorized piece of equipment. This means the belt of the SKILLMILL moves at your pace, and only moves when you do.

The benefits of the SKILLMILL –

Ranging from zero to maximum, users are able to choose varying levels of reactive resistance. The SKILLMILL is more than just a treadmill. Being non motorised and with a curved treadmill design, SKILLMILL uses gravity and simple movements for variable speeds,  and is designed to keep up with the speed of its user, not the other way around. Its curved shape allows you to have the natural running style of normal ground, and due to its shape it will help prevent injuries, as it reduces stress on working joints and helps to improve performance. With the SKILLMILL the average calorie expenditure is 30-40% more than a regular treadmill.

We are currently running a challenge until the end of March, to see who can get the highest top speed on the SKILLMILL. If this challenge is for you, then please speak to one of our staff members next time you are in, and they will instruct you how to take the challenge.

This was all possible because we are a sociable enterprise; this means that any profits that we do make, gets immediately re-invested into our centres directly to make them the best they can possibly be. More equipment and gym refurbishments to follow.  

If you would like any advice or guidance on any of the equipment that we have in our gym, please do not hesitate to ask a member of our friendly team who will be more than happy to advise how you can include these in your workout program.
