Exhibit 99.1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

APPELLATE COURT ISSUES STAY IN CYBEX PRODUCT LIABILITY SUIT

MEDWAY, MA, May 26, 2011 – Cybex International, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYBI), a leading manufacturer of premium exercise equipment, is providing an update regarding the previously announced litigation, Barnhard v. Cybex International, Inc. The Company reported today that the Appellate Division, Fourth Judicial Department, of the Supreme Court of the State of New York has granted the Company’s motion for a stay of enforcement of the judgment in the Barnhard litigation, during the pendency of the Company’s appeals, subject to the posting of collateral aggregating $10,000,000. The Company is in the process of posting this collateral, which it anticipates completing by June 6, 2011.

The Company strongly believes that it was not negligent and is in no way responsible for the accident that is the basis of the suit, and intends to vigorously pursue all avenues to attain a reversal or substantial reduction of this judgment. In this regard, the Company has filed appeals of post trial orders and the judgment in this case with the Appellate Division. The stay prohibits the plaintiff from attempting to enforce the judgment during the appellate process. The Company expects a decision on its appeals within the next six to twelve months.
