Immitation as best form of flattery! The Atlas bodyweight gym

Today I came across the most exciting SoloStrength imitation product I have seen yet!  It's pretty rudimentary, and pretty straight forward.  It's called the Atlas Bodyweight gym, and it's great to see that more people are taking initiative to support and find solutions for body weight exercise training.  Of course in our opinion, it lacks design features and simplicity and quality experience that are built into the FUSE bodyweight exercise gym, but of course we are biased :).  People get to choose for themselves what is important to them, and what features are of most value for their needs.  When we designed the SoloStrength FUSE, we did it keeping in mind a little more than just the simplest movements.  As with any good design approach, the UI (user experience and interaction) with the product should be top choice.  Personally, I would get tired of adjusting those independent bars up and down in one workout, never mind doing it daily...that becomes work and takes the fun out of seamless, fast adjustments and flow of movements.  We like our artistic and thoughtful design, but maybe not everyone worries about that.  We like to think that what we use regularly affects our experience, and that is another reason why we designed the FUSE to look so nice.     We'll be keeping our eye out for more advancements to the industry, and are happy to see the options building!

May Blaiz bodyweight exercise workout on SoloStrength FUSE

May Blaiz, fitness competitor and wellness coach, wanted to run through the entire SoloStrength basic program...and we were delighted to see how quickly she enjoyed it!  She is really strong, but the full body weight pull ups were a bit difficult, which gave us a great way to show how moving to the selp spotted versions of the movements allows the FUSE to adapt to anyone's needs.

May brought her partner Vernis to introduce it to him as well, and after watching May, had to jump in and experience it for himself...some of the comments are priceless!  Thanks guys!  Great job!  

Vernis wanted to really hammer on SoloStrength so we invited him back for his own full on session and you can see the Video in out BLOG below or here.  They loved it so much, they took one for their new facility for Higher Level Fitness.  They love the ease of use, versatility and abilty to adjust it for all their clients needs. 

Good luck guys!  Keep on living high performance with SoloStrength!

Vernis Blair; Big Boy takes on the SoloStrength Total Bodyweight Exercise Program!

Vernis from Higher Level Fitness was enticed to take on the SoloStrength total bodyweight exercise challenge...we went hard...a little too hard maybe :) I think he was surprised and we didn't quite get through the workout! 

He and his partner May Blaiz ( https://twitter.com/mayblaizink) put SoloStrength FUSE into their new gym facility (Higher Level Fitness)...and we are looking forward to doing more work with them!  

Suspension training and bodyweight exercise was made popular with the Navy SEAL inspired training and the great benefits it brings in simplicity and incredible fitness. The TRX is a good system limited by needing an anchor point, and of course, patience to manage all the strapping adjustments! While you can use the TRX system with SoloStrength FUSE to add even more versatility, we haven't really seen a need for it (since you can do everything and more with the FUSE) . We are getting great feedback from people using the total body exercises and generally they love the small footprint, overall design, and versatility that the FUSE offers. Ideal for home use or personal training studios...use SoloStrength to power your high performance lifestyle! Visit us at www.solostrength.com for more information on how to get yours today!

Swoop 360 has a great approach and service for Corporate fitness

Today has a very positive email inquiry from the CEO of Swoop 360 - A service focussed on corporate wellness and personal development with digital personal training services.  Very cool concepts and information.  Check them out at www.swoop360.com . 

Bret, the CEO had this to say:

"The reason I am contacting you is because I came across your product in a magazine and I believe it is the perfect piece of equipment to complement our corporate fitness program and a product I would like to see used by our clientele in their in-house facilities.  Furthermore, part of our primary offerings to our clientele are digital trainers (downloadable workout programs for iPod, iPhone, Zune, Mobile Phone etc) and I think it would be great to create digital trainer workouts with the solo strength for our clientele.  Moreover, I am interested in getting a solostrength for myself and our trainers to use and to promote at fitness events as a tool that we use to help employers improve the level of fitness of their employees.  I really think it is a great product and as a long time personal trainer a product that all health clubs should integrate."

We love to hear it Bret!  Thank you and we look forward seeing your facilities enhanced with SoloStrength!  We have a great affiliate program for the best partners and are happy to help!  Keep up the great work at Swoop 360!

Great to connect with some local trainers and get feedback!

Today I had the great pleasure of sitting with Dan Webster of Titanium Fitness.  Dan has been a SoloStrength supporter since the start and has helped us to reach a greater number of people for feedback and review of SoloStrength through its early developmental stages.  Many thanks to Dan!

I have to take a moment to share that of all the trainers I know, Dan is one of the most genuine, educated and sincere personalities I have met.  That isn't to say I haven't met loads of great people in the industy, it's just that he's that good.  If you are Vancouver area based, and are looking for a great trainer for both 1on1 and bootcamp, you would do yourself a favour by calling him. 

We discussed our usual updates about the industry, status of SoloStrength development and teaming agreements, and developed a few interesting concepts for marketing I am really excited about.  More to come on these in a few days.  What's for certain, is that bodyweight exercise is the base of all sustainable life long fitness programs, and we are proud to have such an exciting tool to offer which supports it with more style and simplicity than anything else available.
