Slow-Intensityâ„¢ is our specialized program of high-intensity, low-force weight lifting at very slow speeds. It allows for an even application of resistance by eliminating momentum and forcing the muscles to do ALL of the work, thus improving overall strength and endurance.

Each 20-30 minute workout includes techniques to safely and continuously build lean muscle, increase metabolism and burn calories more efficiently. We typically recommend 2 twenty-minute sessions per week allowing your body sufficient time to rest and rebuild.

Once a session at BodyQuest begins, your body is taken through 6 to 10 muscle specific exercises on our new Nautilus Nitro Plus machines. Each repetition takes 10 seconds to lift the weight and another 10 seconds to lower the weight until it is absolutely impossible to move the weight any longer. This is when muscle fatigue occurs, and that is the goal of every exercise.

After 1-3 minutes of performing the exercise, a trainer encourages you to sustain the weight for an additional 10 seconds. This ensures the muscle has been thoroughly exhausted.
