If you are looking to keep your club on the cutting edge of fitness and performance enhancement, fitness and sports training programs are gaining popularity. Differentiate your club from your competition and explore what others are doing to stand out. Your club needs a program that finely tunes bodies for maximum life performance, and safely meets the individual needs of your members. With proper training, your members can:
• Increase speed, vertical jump, agility, flexibility and strength;
• Improve balance, gait, and posture
• Decrease injury.
Look for a program that provides a functional assessment including: posture, gait, balance, and core strength analysis. Armed with this information, your trainers can create personalized programs to address each individual’s power leaks. When you help your members achieve their fitness goals, referrals will follow.
A basic, new program for your club members can fit into a space the size of a racquetball court. Equipment to differentiate your club will include: a treadmill capable of 31 MPH and a heavy-duty vibration platform designed to accommodate dynamic workouts – including heavy weight lifting. When combined with an un-weighting system – a system that removes the fear of falling – trainers can bring clients to performance levels that, in just eight weeks, will show increases of: five to 12 inches in vertical jump; 45 to 100 pounds in bench, and 80 to 125 pounds in squats.
The body adapts to stresses put on it, and vibration adds more variables to which the body must adapt. So, exercising while on a vibration platform increases results tremendously. When placing any part of the body on a vibration platform, the muscles react to this vibrating stimulus, and produce involuntary muscle contractions. In this way, the body is actually exercising without really doing anything! The contractions set a series of events into play which ultimately results in: more strength; more speed; more stamina; rapid recovery of muscles and tissue; increased flexibility, mobility and coordination; improved collagen production, and fat reduction.
