The award was presented at the annual FIBO trade show on Friday, April 20, in Essen, Germany.

Ray Giannelli, senior vice president of research and development for Cybex International said: "We set out to combine the advantages of isolative strength training equipment with the advantages of cable press and pull equipment, and Progressive Stabilization was born."

Multi-function cable systems traditionally provide a variety of movement options in one machine with limited stability and strength gains.

Single-function fixed-path equipment traditionally provides stability and increased loading with limited movement variety.

Using Progressive Stabilization, Cybex's Bravo Press and Bravo Pull are claimed to be the first multi-function cable training stations offering the stability and strength potential found in single-function, fixed-path equipment along with the expanded movement variety typical with multi-function cable training systems.
