COURTESY OF SUPERSLOW ZONE
From two existing SuperSlow Zone clients:
I started going to SuperSlow Zone in 2017 prior to total knee replacement surgery. I hoped to improve my results by being in better shape for my recovery. I did, indeed, have good results from my surgeries. Eventually, I got up to 175 pounds on the leg press which I think is pretty awesome with two artificial knees.
Unexpectedly, I experienced an additional benefit. The medications I take for heart problems affect my energy and stamina. After going to SuperSlow Zone for a few months, I found that my stamina improved. In fact, my cardiologist recommended I continue with the program.
Recently, I have experienced a setback with my heart. Lyn Bragdon, owner of SuperSlow Zone in Bangor, recommended a reduction in the weights on the machines to accommodate my current condition. I appreciate how carefully the staff monitors my progress and well-being. My cardiologist continues to agree with the new protocol I am now following at SuperSlow Zone.
And let’s not forget the effect of resistance training on bone health. as well as lowering rates of falls and fractures. At 79, those things are important to me.
There is a motto at SSZ, “Minutes a week, fit for life.” I rarely miss a scheduled session, and if I have to miss, I reschedule so I can get in two sessions per week. As of March 1, 2024, I have been going for seven years. I plan to go for life, knowing that this program will support me through my current cardiac setback, as well as other challenges of aging. In case you haven’t already figured it out, I am a loyal fan of SuperSlow Zone.

I am 82 years old and have been blessed throughout my life with very good health. Even so, I see a need to keep myself as fit as possible but have grown weary of times at the regular gym where I labor through increasingly difficult workouts which invariably end with a sweaty soreness. I finally convinced myself that there’s got to be a better way.
A friend told me about his experience at SuperSlow Zone where he spends 20 minutes with one-on-one supervision on a series of machines designed to achieve and maintain fitness of all muscle groups. He doesn’t have to change into gym clothes, doesn’t sweat, is able to go right back to the office, and fulfills his intention to not become big and muscular but simply to achieve optimum muscle tone. I don’t know about you but that’s all I need!
I encourage anyone who feels like I do to check out SuperSlow Zone. You will encounter professionally trained, knowledgeable staff who really care about achieving your goals and who are really great people.
