[ NEW ON THE MARKET ] SHELBY’S REVIEW AGSILVER CLEANMAT In my training studio, our exercise mats are shared often, going from client to client with only a quick disinfecting wipe in between. It doesn’t take long for the accumulated sweat to begin to smell, indicating its past due for a thorough cleaning. So when I found the AgSilver CleanMat with built-in antimicrobial protection, I was elated. In addition to being an attractive, non-slip mat, it is made with Agion Silver, a natural product that keeps mats free of odors from bacteria and fungus and helps prevent transfer of impurities from one workout to the next. Although this mat is pricey, it is well worth it, from a reduced maintenance standpoint. www.equiﬁtspacare.com, 877.4EQUIFIT HUMAN-CENTRIC RESISTANCE SYSTEMS Kinesis Circuit from Technogym combines four diﬀerent modules to allow members to explore multiple ways of moving their bodies.
