Fairmont The Palm in association with GuavaPass, introduces PRAMA by Pavigym to their holistic wellbeing offering in February 20

17. PRAMA, a functional training system based on spatial references on the floor and walls brings fitness to life with lights, sound and sensors. PRAMA is a high-intensity, circuit-based workout that quickly improves muscle memory, endurance, strength, balance, speed, agility, reaction time and overall fitness. It is a high-energy workout that provides complete strength and cardio conditioning, burning up to 1,000 calories in just one 45-minute session.

 

PRAMA by Pavigym is functional training via LED enriched stations with pressure sensitive walls and floors and a variety of lighting options. The workouts are controlled and varied, with an endless combination of training programs and intensity levels facilitated by a fitness professional at the touch of a button. Lights on the floors and walls of the gym are controlled by the intelligent PRAMA software, and can be adjusted to fit varying fitness and activity levels. The state-of-the-art interface technology is designed to encourage behavioral changes at all levels of activity. The data is stored in a cloud, making it easy for members to measure, compete and improve their results.

 

 This revolutionary workout system brings a brand-new experience to training and exercise. Courses can be enjoyed as a group or one-on-one, and are sure to make members sweat and smile while putting their bodies to the test.

Fitness enthusiasts have quoted PRAMA as being a ‘fast-paced challenge that taps frequently into the enjoyment factor of exercise’. The high-tech training environment guides participants through classes that are full-effort and full-fun, allowing no time to feel the physical strain of the courses until the end of the session.
