Medway's Cybex makes premium exercise equipment

There was a time when exercise equipment meant free weights, resistance machines, stationary bicycles and treadmills.Not anymore, and certainly not at Cybex International lnc. The Medway company manufactures premium exercise equipment, primarily for commercial use. Its product line includes a full range of strength and cardiovascular training machines. All are designed using exercise science to reflect the natural movement of the body. It even has its own research institute.

Cybex fitness equipment is engineered to produce optimal results for users from the first-time exerciser to the professional athlete, the company states. Cybex designs and builds its products in the U.S.A. for a wide range of facilities, from commercial health clubs to home gyms, in more than 85 countries worldwide.

Cybex is owned by John Aglialoro, who serves as the companys chairman and CEO, and Arthur W. Hicks Jr., its president and chief operating officer.

Hicks recently discussed Cybex with Daily News staff writer Bob Tremblay.
