CYBEX RAMPS IT UP FOR BREAST CANCER AWARENESS

Produces Hundreds of Pink Treadmills to Raise Funds for BCRF

MEDWAY, MA, October 1, 2009 – CYBEX International, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYBI), a leading manufacturer of premium exercise equipment, is treading for a cause. Hundreds of the Medway, Massachusetts-based Company’s pink 750T treadmills will be moving at varying speeds in fitness clubs and YMCA’s across the country beginning today, October 1 – and with a purpose – to raise funds for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).

In an effort to promote the importance of walking and exercise as a preventive measure to reduce the risk of breast cancer, CYBEX will donate funds to BCRF for every mile logged on any pink CYBEX 750T treadmill throughout the month of October 2009.

“This is an example of wonderful corporate citizenship,” states Myra J. Biblowit, President of the BCRF. “These pink treadmills will remind people about the need for breast health awareness, breast cancer screening and the importance of exercise.”

The pink treads, which were manufactured in Medway, have been shipped to health clubs, YMCA’s, and other fitness facilities around the country. They will be used in a variety of ways to promote the benefits of exercise, particularly as it relates to breast cancer. Local clubs are using the pink treadmills for member walk-a-thons; others are matching CYBEX with fundraising efforts.

Among the hundreds of pink treadmills in fitness facilities across the country, three will be housed locally in the Boston, Massachusetts area: Super Fitness in Watertown, Super Fitness in Quincy, and YMCA/South Shore in Hanover.

“This initiative has provided a platform to share an important message on the benefits of exercise in reducing the risk and recurrence of breast cancer,” states Joan Carter, Executive Director of the CYBEX Pink Ribbon Run.

When it comes to preventing breast cancer recurrence, Dr. Carolyn Kaelin, a Harvard surgeon, breast cancer survivor and author of The Breast Cancer Survivor’s Fitness Plan, states, “Brisk walking (about 3.0 mph on a treadmill) for three to five hours per week for about 30 minutes a day has netted the biggest benefits for breast cancer survivors.”

According to the Journal of Breast Cancer Research (November 2008), of the more than 32,000 postmenopausal women, vigorous exercise may cut risk of breast cancer by 30 percent in normal-weight women. Furthermore, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (May 2008) cited that girls and young women who exercise regularly between the ages of 12 and 35 have a substantially lower risk of breast cancer before menopause compared to those less active.
