Impress Products Limited has launched its lightweight, extremely portable, toning and shaping system in two new colours for Spring/Summer 2008 – baby pink and lilac. The Compact Fitness System, which was created by professional engineer Melvyn Gillam to help people get fit in style, has received acclaim from top physiotherapists and health club professionals and is now stocked by John Lewis Department Stores. Designed and made in Dorset, the System is small and practical and folds away into a mini jute bag which enables you to carry it wherever you go, be it the gym, work, or even on holiday - much easier than heaving around a massive kit bag!

Melvyn Gillam comments: “After nearly a year of development we launched the new system in November 2007 and since then we have been delighted to receive such a great response from physiotherapists, fitness instructors, consumers and the trade. The portability and versatility of the System has been a real selling point for home users and professionals, because it can fit in with their lifestyles, whether they exercise at home or in the gym, or travel on a regular basis. The new colours for 2008 add a bit of extra style and pizzazz to the System, but behind the flashy colours is a comprehensive piece of exercise equipment which has been designed and constructed to provide users with a complete body workout.”

Professionals from the Health and Fitness industry throughout the country have been putting the System through its paces and 25 exercises for the upper, mid and lower body have been evaluated and verified by the School of Sport and Health Sciences at Exeter University. Health Club Manager at The Warwickshire Golf & Country Club, Zoe Trythall said: “The Impress Compact Fitness System is a very versatile piece of fitness equipment. It enables the user to perform almost any exercise they would carry out in a gym and is a great tool for exercising at home or in a hotel room if they do a lot of traveling.”

The Compact Fitness System is available from John Lewis stores and worldwide from www.impress-products.co.uk with an RRP of £44.95.
