HI Everyone!
I'm going to start this off by being really direct about what we are here to do, and what we are offering. "WE" is me really, and a whole lot of great people that I get to work with from time to time, and associate with in the fitness/health/wellness industry.
I developed the SoloStrength FUSE (that's a shorty way of saying Fitness Utility for Strength and Energy), to utilize as a very versatile tool for bodyweight exercises and stretching programs (our basic versions we call the SoloStrength Lifestyle Programs). Little did I know, that people would be able to have
so much FUN with it, but then again, movement, and fitness activity is fun by nature, so I guess it makes sense that kids take to it as much as adults, and it's simple enough that everyone can really enjoy it.
That was really the goal in designing and developing SoloStrength; To
provide a simple to use, versatile, family and beginner friendly system, that could be taken to extremely challenging levels. I believe we have achieved that goal, and when we see people enjoying SoloStrength, I'm certain we did.
Some people look at SoloStrength, and suggest that it's quite big, or that it doesn't do very much (bells and whistles). I like to point out that for an "all-in-one" system, its the smallest option available, it fits in standard ceiling heights (and who uses vertical space anyway?), and it takes less than 3.5' square floorspace when not in use. One trainer that was on SoloStrength recently made the statement that
"it's the swiss army knife of fitness equipment...there isn't anything you can't do with it!". We tend to agree ;) Additionally, our s
ystem takes the least floor space of any full body system and we believe is the best, most versatile, best value home gym system on the market; and it looks great too!
We stand behind it with a lifetime warranty (limited) on our product (for consumer home use), and 5 years for commercial applications.
The premise behind the approach we took, is quite logical really.
Simplicity. There are three main things that restrict people's success in achieving and MAINTAINING fitness for longer periods of time (than the usual roller coaster that most people experience). I would like to illustrate these below.
1. Barriers to start (convenience, preparation, scheduling).
2. Time required to achieve desired state (absolute least time using SoloStrength).
3. Enjoyment and results. (results are fun, feeling energized, connected and strong is FUN).
What we want to do is show you with this site, everyday people (that's EVER BODY) beginners, trainers, athletes, working professionals, geeks, parents, bodybuilders, ...how ever you choose to live, can utilize the SoloStrength FUSE system, for a great addition to your life, to support incredibly powerful health and vibrant active living. The lifestyle you want is your choice, but SoloStrength will support it, and after you use it the first time, you won't want to be without it. That's our confidence, and it comes from the people who use it, buy it, and enjoy...living with SoloStrength. Post your comments, questions, and your favourite ways of living a healthy active lifestyle, and hope to talk to you soon!

I wish I had more time to commit myself to fitness more regularly. In today’s world we are all so incredibly busy with the hussle and bustle of life, It seems that keeping fit is almost a privelage.
SoloStrength however has made everyday fitness more attainable due to the fact that it takes such a short time. It doesn’t require changing endless cables, weights and moving stations entirely to work on a different muscle group. It stays in one place and you stay in one place, period. It’s quick, easy and user friendly which intreages even the not so ‘keen” on fitness individual. Every time you have a workout on it…..a very quick workout I must add, you will ask yourself why you don’t do this more often….I know I do every time!

Is SoloStrength the best home fitness system around? Maybe…if you like a workout that is convenient and works your whole body in a short period of time. Maybe…if you think a piece of exercise equipment should look great wherever you put it and do more than just hold your wet laundry. Maybe…if you are smart enough to realize that real exercises like chin-ups, push-ups and squats work better than most exercises out there. However, if you would prefer to spend 2 hours at the gym, doing 4 different kinds of biceps curls with one foot on a wobbly board and the other on a BOZO ball, then this is not the product for you.

The SoloStrength FUSE is truly a gym quality home fitness product. At our gym it is constantly being used by clients and trainers. I’m actually a little frustrated because I’d like to use it more but it’s always being used

I can’t say if the SoloStrength is the best home fitness system but I can say it holds it’s own in a fully equiped gym. The trainers and clients can’t get enough of the FUSE. It looks great. It’s smooth functioning allows for quick and easy transitions from one exercise to the next. I haven’t seen another piece of home equipment that has all the features and clean lines the SoloStrength FUSE has. In fact I’m quite frustrated because I haven’t been able to use it as much as I’d like to because it is always occupied

Being a fit person, I remember the first time I jumped on the Solo thinking to myself how intense of a workout can I get from this? Once I was half way through the 15min routine that was given to me, sweat was dripping down my forehead and I couldn’t believe how great of a whole body workout I got. I really like the sleak sexy look of the Solo and the fact that you can easily tailor the Solo workout for people of any age or lifestyle.

Solostrength is a exciting new fitness device that allows me to gain flexiblity while targeting specific “problem areas”. It was fun to use and easy to learn the different exercises.

I could not believe the incredible feeling that I had after a guided work out with SOLO. I used all my muscles and felt them firming. My body craved for more. I can hardly wait to get my own SOLO in my home so I can exercise every day on it. The convenience of a home based system like this is exciting and valuable to those of us who have limited extra hours in a day. As a senior I can see the value of steady daily firming exercises and steady progressive movments that I can stage based on my own tolerance and using my own weight resistance. Thank you Michael please get this product here soon.

The first time I saw the SoloStrength FUSE I really liked it. The first time I used it, I fell in love with it.
Unless you’ve been asleep for the last few years, you know that bodyweight training is growing in popularity every day. One of the benefits of bodyweight training is that in most cases all you need is, well, your body. However, try doing a chin-up without a bar. And what about people who can’t do push-ups from a horizontal position or others who need support when performing squats. This is where the SoloStrength FUSE comes in. It allows everyone to enjoy the benefits of bodyweight training. As as a fitness professional, I have personally used the SoloStrength FUSE with clients in their 70s with some physical limitations as well as with clients in their 20s preparing for athletic events. It’s versatility is not always evident at first glance but, once you use it, you see the possibilities for it’s use are endless.
To compare the SoloStrength FUSE to a standard chin-up bar is like comparing a Ferrari to a little red wagon. Sure, the Ferrari and the wagon are both red with four wheels, but that doesn’t mean they’re the same. And yes you can do chin-ups on the SoloStrength FUSE or a standard chin-up bar, but the fact you can do endless variations of hundreds of exercises on the FUSE makes it obvious it’s not just a chin-up bar.
