• The brand-new SurfSET Fitness method helps achieve that enviable surfer bod on dry land, melting fat while building lean muscle, not bulk.
• This workout shakes things up?literally. The shifting surface of the RipSurfer X machine makes for a sporty challenge that?s far more fun than ho-hum gym routines.
• SurfSET?s launch tour is taking the team on a trek to the country?s 15 fittest cities, and these guys clearly heart the Big Apple, since New York is one of the first stops. That means Gilt City members will be among the very first to take SurfSET for a spin.

Alas, New York Harbor isn?t an ideal spot for hanging ten. But we can still reap the sport?s body benefits, thanks to a brand-new regimen that?s making big waves of its own. SurfSET Fitness recreates the surfing experience, combining cardio and resistance training into one killer workout. The secret is the RipSurfer X machine, whose unstable surface keeps abdominal and postural muscles constantly engaged.

SurfSET?s 15-city launch comes to New York?s Chelsea Studios later this month for a two-week stay, and Gilt City members get one of the first chances to try the soon-to-be ?it? workout.

If you like washboard abs, just wait until you see surfboard abs.
