BILT by Agassi and Reyes: Booth #161
BILT by Agassi & Reyes changes the game of fitness by developing and manufacturing strength-training machines that powered world-class athlete Andre Agassi to eight Grand Slam titles, co-engineered by elite fitness trainer Gil Reyes. An important aspect of the equipment is the proprietary spring-enhanced weight stack system, IntelliLiftTM, which provides a unique combination of efficiency and intensity. The attached spring works in conjunction with the traditional selectorized weight stack. As the weights are raised by the movement of the exercise, the attached springs are opened and stretched to a position of greater resistance. The “feel” is intense and unique.
