The PowerTek CRE
The PowerTek System
GymTek has developed PowerTek - a Computerized Resistance Engine (CRE), which substitutes the traditional weight systems common in today’s professional fitness equipment.
This innovative patent pending system incorporates an electric motor, computerized control system and a color touch screen, offering advanced training capabilities and unparalleled convenience, unavailable on any other fitness system currently on the market.
The CRE system enables converting several standard equipment mechanics to just one system, offering a variety of professional training functions, each with its own variable resistance curve.
For Example:
When combined with the CRE engine, a regular leg curl machine will offer the following capabilities:
Leg curl - Including isotonic, eccentric (negative) and isometric workout
Leg curl isokinetic workout
Leg extension - Including isotonic, eccentric (negative) and isometric workout
Leg extension isokinetic workout
A standard Leg Curl Machine with the CRE
All Workout Programs - On One CRE System
Eccentric / concentric workout – Allows for a more effective workout by increasing resistance in the eccentric or negative segment of the movement.
Isokinetic training – A more effective, safer workout, eliminating the risks associated with the use of weights. The trainer can apply any amount of strength, and still the machine will constantly remain at a predefined speed.
Isometric training – Creating maximum resistance at selected points during the movement.
"Test Your Strength" – Trainers can perform personal strength curve tests at the push of a button. This technique provides quick progress follow-up over time, and automatic adjustments of training programs according to test results.
Apply personal curve with a push of a button
Small Weight Increments – Just 0.2 lbs. at a Time
The PowerTek allows resistance level adjustments in increments as small as 0.2 lbs, allowing fine-tuning of difficulty levels to suit the trainer's individual capabilities.

Simple & User Friendly Interface
Special emphasis has been placed on an easy, intuitive interface and on equipment design, enabling any trainer to optimize performance and get the most out of the system.
The PowerTek's unique features include:
· Personal color touch screen display
· Intuitively clear menus
· Displayed parameters such as program structure, number of repetitions and sets performed, time lapse between sets and more…
Simple, user friendly interface
Safer, More Effective Workout
The built-in electronic protection system ensures a safer, more effective workout by providing set-up options for action and movement ranges, as well as limitations for maximum speed and acceleration.
Saving on Weight and Space
As there is no need for heavy cumbersome weights, The PowerTek system profiles are especially low, and the weight load on the gym’s floor can be reduced by approximately 50%, also leaving much more previously occupied space for other functions.
