GymKit UK is a leading supplier of fitness equipment in the UK. With the aim and passion to identify and supply the best ‘niche’ fitness equipment in the world to facilities who want to deliver the best exercise experience for their members. GymKit UK identified the Fluid Technology products from First Degree Fitness as equipment that delivers a unique and rewarding experience for users, helping them to stay on track and achieve their health and fitness goals.
First Degree Fitness (FDF) was founded in 2000 and is from Australian origin. Their primary goal is offering the commercial fitness industry a new range of equipment that combined robustness with simplicity, but above all gave users of all ages and body types the ability to enjoy a perfectly tailored workout, with all the fitness benefits that accrue as a result.
Why Fluid Technology?
It was because the FDF design team knew and understood the unique resistance properties of water that they believed we could use these at the centre of a superior new product range for the fitness industry. The patented “Fluid Technology” water resistance system was designed to offer 20 levels of resistance, from “feather light” to “Olympic sprint”, all at the touch of a lever. This system, which has always been subject to continuous improvement, is at the core of the original three models. During 2006, FDF responded to market demands with the release of two new compact rowers, which have a modified 16 level resistance system, using gearing to still give a fully effective range.
Experience the Difference – more than just a slogan!
We actively encourage those who are unfamiliar with Fluid products to give them a try, because it is only through direct first-hand experience that you can feel just how different the Fluid Technology resistance system really is. We are confident in our claim that in today’s market Fluid Technology resistance provides a unique combination of smoothness, instantaneous take up of load, evenness throughout the operational cycle, and exponential response to increases in work intensity. Yes, please do experience the difference!
Why Rowing?
With three of the five FDF products being rowers, it has been asked whether FDF is just a rowing machine company. First and foremost, FDF are a fitness equipment company, but they know and understand the benefits of rowing as the best total body aerobic exercise available, and very purposefully chose to make a rower their flagship product. FDF even employ a professional rowing coach as an advisor on product development and applications. That’s how seriously committed they are to ensuring their customers get the very best out of their First Degree Fitness equipment.
