Is there any other exercise program that can produce the same benefits training just 30 minutes a week?

Most exercises primarily improve one area of fitness such flexibility or aerobic capacity.  No other exercise program produces all these positive effects to the degree possible with high intensity training for just 30 minutes a week  - NONE. 

If you have to exercise you might as well get the most benefit in the least amount of time. See the results.

Why is once a week for 30 minutes optimal?

• The higher the intensity, the greater the potential results.
• High intensity work cannot be sustained for very long and requires more recovery time so workouts are short and infrequent. (usually 30 minutes once a week)
• If exercise is performed with sufficient intensity any additional time spent strength training is a waste of money, time, and effort.

Why not workout twice a week?

While beginning trainees might workout twice a week as they build up to the required level of intensity, working out twice a week protocol results in:

• Lower intensity training and less recovery time.
• Doubling the money paid to a trainer with less results.

Why is the workout at Ultimate Fitness safer?

• We eliminate the injury producing forces of rapid acceleration.
• The equipment we use is designed with natural body movements in mind, allowing you to work at high levels of intensity without injury.
• Regardless of one's age or present level of fitness there will be an appropriate level of intensity that one can manage and produce positive results.

Is there research to support that strength training with less frequency is optimal?

Research shows that it is not necessary to weight train as often as one does for aerobic activities . From a study where the subjects stopped training for 12 weeks - Enzyme adaptations of human skeletal muscle during bicycle short-sprint training and detraining. "A long interruption in training has negligible effects on short-sprint ability and muscle anaerobic potential . (In our words, it is not necessary to strength train more than once a week in order to maintain the gains made from exercise and to improve your condition.)"
