BH North America Receives GearAwards for XS8 and XS5 Residential Ellipticals

We have to pass our congratulations to our colleagues in the US for winning the prestigious GearAwards for the BH Fitness XS5 and XS8 elliptical cross trainers.

Although not yet available in the UK, we’ve seen these elliptical trainers and can confirm that they are fantastic in build quality; smoothness of operation and functionality offered to the user. Therefore, it’s no surprise to us that BH North America have won the award.

We’re working hard to introduce these cross trainers in the UK in 2011 and are sure that they will receive the same reception as in the US.

Heat Therapy - Helping Painful Muscles and Joints

The first thing for us to say about Heat Therapy is that we're not medically qualified in any way, but what we can do is to report back the initial findings from our customers on our new Infrared Heat Wrap product.

BH Tecnovita YM95 Infrared Heat Wrap


Part of the Tecnovita range of wellness products, the YM95 Infrared Heat Wrap is worn on the lower back and penetrates more easily and deeper into the body, relieving pain and muscle spasms, providing recovery from inflammatory processes or improving blood circulation. It's been on sale in the UK for just over 2 months (introduced in December 2010) and we can now report back the initial feedback from our customers.

What Some Of Our Customers Say

1. I've had similar products in the past but this is the first one that I've found that is rechargable. Being able to wear the heat wrap outdoors is fantastic - all of the others that I've tried have had to be plugged in to the mains when I'm using it.
2. The different heat settings are really useful - my wife and I both use the heat wrap and I prefer to use the higher setting whereas she uses it on the low setting.
3. Working outdoors in the cold weather increases the level of pain that I feel in my lower back. I've been wearing the heat-wrap every day for about 1 month and I can feel the difference in the level of mobility that I now have.
4. I wear the heat-wrap under my jacket and no-one can tell. I was concerned that it would look a bit bulky but it's really quite a slim design and the benefit that I get from wearing it means that I don't really care anyway!!
5. I thought that it was a bit expensive - you can buy cheaper ones that you have to plug into the electricity when you're using it - but the fact that you can be truly mobile with this one is invaluable to me. I'm so pleased I chose this heat wrap instead of the cheaper ones.
6. I recharge mine every night so that it's ready for me in the morning. It's made a real difference to me in this cold weather.

We're obviously delighted with this great feedback (and thanks to everyone for their comments). You can find out more at Shiatsu Store.

BH Fitness SB2 Indoor Cycle - Back in the UK

BH Fitness SB2 Indoor Cycle

The BH Fitness SB2 Indoor Cycle is available in the UK once again, this time exclusively with Abacus Fitness Bikes.

Over the past few years the SB2 has been one of the most popular indoor cycles in our range and it's not difficult to see why. We have thousands of satisfied customers who've told how pleased they've been with the longevity and quality of their SB2. The high quality steel frame withstands hard pedalling without any sign of twisting or instability and the quality of the paint finish means that the bike looks as good after a few years hard use as it does when you first take it out of the box.

With an excellent console that shows time, distance pedalled, speed and calories burned it's a great indoor cycle to use day after day.

We offer 2 years parts and labour with every SB2 cycle.

Take a look at our video of the SB2 indoor cycle below:
