Designed for the fitness industry are three in depth programs that provide advanced training and continuing education for personal trainers, athletic trainers and fitness professionals who are committed to conducting safe and effective programs.

JrFit™ offers well-researched information on physical conditioning and nutrition appropriate for youth (ages 7-15), whether sedentary and overweight, or fit and athletic.

SrFit™ Second Edition provides an understanding of how the aging process, identifies dietary changes that may be needed, and presents effective training strategies to improve flexibility, endurance, strength and optimal function in middle aged and older adults (ages 45-63+).

Core Training

Indo Board Balance Trainer
• The Indo Board Balance Trainers are simple, stable, and user friendly.
• Anyone can ride with a few basic instructions and something or someone to hold on to for support.
• The learning curve is 10 to 15 minutes for most, after that, Indoboarding becomes routinely easy and fun.

The Indo Board goal is to introduce a FUN and CHALLENGING way to exercise the bodies balance control systems. Even though balance is so easily taken for granted, human movement is dependent on balance and coordination. In this new age of fitness awareness, the notion of balance training IS essential, particularly in board sports and all physical activities utilizing the core muscles.

•Keeping the board from touching the ground for extended rides is both the goal and challenge.

Fitness Training Systems

PurMotion
The human body works as an integrated unit, able to perform five basic movements: pushing, pulling, locomotion, lever changes and rotation. Any of these movements can be done in one or more planes of motion such as sagittal (north-south), frontal (east-west) and transverse (rotation). Individuals will elicit higher levels of work capacity and performance if such movements are performed at high intensity. PurMotion products and systems are designed to implement all of these principles.

While traditional methods of exercising and current fitness products have led us away from these basic principles, PurMotion was created to develop products and education for all levels of athletes – from beginners to professionals. We are proving that these fundamentals can be implemented easily, and at a relatively low cost, compared to traditional methods of exercising with vast amounts of expensive equipment. We create unlimited results through our products, education, and philosophy of fitness and performance. Our philosophy is present in every product that we design from the trenches.

Indoor Rowing

Concept2
Concept2 got its start in 1976 in the back of a bread truck when Dick and Pete Dreissigacker, fresh from Olympic training, started making composite racing oars, now the oar of choice among the world's rowers. They went on to create the Concept2 Indoor Rower, now used worldwide by Olympic athletes, cardiac rehab patients and every caliber of rower in between who have discovered that rowing is the best low-impact, full-body workout available!

Rowing works many muscle groups through wide a range of motion. Knees, hips, arms and shoulders will each see 90 - 130 degrees of rotation in every stroke. It’s this full-body muscle involvement that makes rowing a great calorie burner and helps users develop flexibility and strength. Rowing is impact-free, and the intensity is completely user-controlled. It offers superb cardiovascular exercise that is suitable for all ages.

Both the new Model E or the updated Model D Indoor Rowers come with extensive web-based programming and support for fitness facilities.  And Concept2 brings customers the latest trends in fitness: technology-based workouts that include everything from audio downloads to virtual rowing, and group rowing, instructor training and certification options.
