For those of you trying to squeeze in a short yet efficient workout, this floor is designed to quickly work all major muscle groups. Try one set of 15 repetitions without rest at each of the eleven stations in order. Use enough weight at each station to make the last few repetitions difficult. After completing the circuit, rest for 30 seconds OFF the machines (to avoid monopolizing them unnecessarily) and repeat from the beginning of circuit. This floor also has a Hoist Multi-purpose handicapped accessible machine.
