SoloStrength AMAZINGLY Simple and Fun Exercise for Old and Young

Imagine...if something that was so basic to life was made easier, and more obtainable for more people...would that be an idea worth sharing? 


IF the logic of simplicity and results literally conditioned us to take control of greater power for ourselves, even if it went against a long history of deception as to how it can be achieved. Would that be something exciting? 


Well it is to us, and we love to show off SoloStrength and share it with everyone.

Balance training, just another feature of SoloStrength Bodyweight Exercises and the Lifestyle Program for Active Living

It occurred to me as I was surfing new products in the market today, that one of the biggest needs in our aging society is to work at improving balance.  Most of us in our "middle years" don't think of balance too often, especially if we are fit and carrying a good level of our own SoloStrength around day to day.  For people who do suffer from balance impairment however, this is a very real issue and ongoing concern.  Can you imagine feeling uncomfortable walking around, or out on a trail, because you could simply lose your own sense of balance and topple over?  Well believe it or not, this happens to people, and it isn't hard to imagine how negative the impact on their lives would be.  Some products I came across today designed to support those with balance problems are quite interesting.  For example, the body gym http://www.thebalancegym.com/, is an interesting product.  In review of their website, I was a bit frustrated at the limitations of this system, but can understand the approach they have taken. I am happy to report that everything that can be done on this system in the way of balance training, can be accomplished with our SoloStrength system, with the addition of a secure support bar to add a better sense of support and larger range of motion, as well as all the additional exercises for strength and conditioning which of course are part of our overall Lifestyle Programs.    It is nice to see more products coming available to the market to meet people's needs, and we hope to see more, however we don't believe anything can be more simple or easy to use and achieve the excellent results one can experience with SoloStrength, but as the designers, we might be a little biased.   Enjoy a healthy day!  Live strong with SoloStrength!

The fitness approach that works everyday...

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 system 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!

SoloStrength FUSE

Tagged functional training, SoloStrength
Yesterday, you had a great workout at the gym. Today, you reached over your trunk to take out the grocery and you pulled a muscle. What happened? You probably paid little attention to functional training…. I’m with you. I suck at functional training. Pull ups, push ups and squats are the very basic movements of everyday life and yet I can probably do up to (maximum) 20 push ups, 45 squats and 0 (yes, zero!!) pull ups in a minute. Shameful, I know. But ask me to do a chest press, hack squat or lat pull down and I’m there ready to go!!

Functional training is purposeful training - training in congruence with how the body functions. The key to functional exercise is that you train all the muscles to work together rather than isolating them. And that’s where SoloStrength comes in. I’ve been utilizing the SoloStrength FUSE and let me tell you, it’s not just a bar. Just looking at it makes you want to try out various exercises and by adjusting the level, you can complete a full body workout in under 25 minutes!!




President of SoloStrength Lifestyle Products Corp., Michael Bulva claims that without a doubt, this is the only bodyweight functional training system that has it all in one. “In less space than most treadmills and ellipticals require, everyone at home or the gym can use this station. No matter what your fitness level - whether you’re terribly uncoordinated, have injuries, weight problems that can be restricting, or require elite level conditioning and training - this system will adapt to your needs”.

Thoughtfully designed and prototyped locally, SoloStrength takes away the complicated machinery, weights and accessories and developed an “exertaining” way to trim fat and build muscle simply by utilizing the basics of functional training: building a body capable of doing real life activities in real life positions. Daniel Webster, a North Vancouver personal trainer and owner of Titanium Fitness has been using SoloStrength with 70 year old clients with physical limitations as well as clients in their 20s preparing for athletic events. “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 wagon are both red with four wheels, but that doesn’t mean they’re the same. Yes, you can do chin ups on the SoloStrength FUSE or a standard chin-up bar, but the fact that you can do endless variations of hundreds of exercises on the FUSE makes it obvious it’s not just a chin-up bar.




It’s the art of simplified fitness. No gadgets, no gimmicks. All you need is one bar, one body and one mind. And SoloStrength FUSE does just that. From dynamic balance training to core strengthening for functional stabilization to high end explosive training, the SoloStrength FUSE is the all in one solution. SoloStrength FUSE is currently available for purchase at any Fitness Town location or online through the company website @ www.solostrength.com

Working out Solo Home fitness equipment key to success for some   Pete Estabrooks For The Calgary Herald Thursday, January 17, 2008 If this is the year you resolved to get fit, you still have 50 weeks left. It’s not too late to make a move — even if you haven’t yet started. Every day is a new day; start small and find a way. My goal is to find ways for everyone to get fit, regardless of their likelihood of getting to a gym. Home machines can make it easy for you to stay in your house; they can also make working out convenient, comprehensive and cost-effective. What Is It? It is the SoloStrength fitness system, a system that includes the Fuse — a gateway to a stronger, leaner, fitter body. Looking like a modern sculpture, the SoloStrength Fuse is basically a floating bar and a frame on a workout platform. Depending on your fitness level, you can lock the bar into position at different heights to assist you or resist you during pushups, pullups, squats, lunges and core/abdominal exercises galore. By aligning the bar appropriate to your body weight and body position, exercises can be incredibly easy or incredibly difficult. The advantage of such a system is that regardless where you start, the SoloStrength has the capacity to support and sustain each fitness improvement you make. It comes complete with fitness programs designed for the beginner, intermediate and advanced fitness acolyte. Once you are on a roll, the SoloStrength offers more than 50 advanced movements that can be completed with Solo on its own or using various common accessories such as balls, bands and light weights. When not in use, it folds up to be about 1.2 square metres. Who Would This Appeal To? If time is of the essence for your workouts or if you hate the idea of sharing sweat time with people you hardly know at gyms, you may like the SoloStrength. Small fitness centres, schools, community centres and personal trainers will find this unit appealing because it doesn’t take up much space and can do a lot. Who Would Hate It? If your fitness program and happiness lie in big bench presses, squats and dead-lifts, you’ll hate this. The Klutz Factor As long as you are capable of listening to your body and reading instructions, it will be difficult to get injured on the SoloStrength. While great for people with extensive fitness backgrounds, it also comes with an easy-to-follow, detailed instructional manual and online support for those less versed in exercise protocols. One of the SoloStrength team’s goals was to create a product usable by people with no previous knowledge of fitness. They succeeded. When I tried it, I began with 15 minutes of skipping to get into a groove. Then I did 20 repetitions of everything: an easy set of chest, a set of back, a set of legs and a set of abdominal exercises. The second time, I stepped up the degree of difficulty and backed the repetition number to 15 and did the same full body order. Set three consisted of an advanced exercise for each previously mentioned body part for 10 repetitions. Just like that, the entire workout sans the skipping was a rare 22 minutes of non-stop “exertainment” (the rare combination of exercise and entertainment). When it was over, I was breathing hard, my muscles were spent and I was sweating like a tax cheat at an audit. What Do You Need and Where Do You Find It? You need space to accommodate the size of the machine and the host of videos and manuals that are available to you as a customer at solostrength.com. The SoloStrength system is sold directly online and shipped to your door via the same website. What are the Costs? The SoloStrength lifestyle system costs $1,499; payment plans are available. It sounds expensive, but if you really use it (for exercise — not hanging laundry) for five years, it would be like having a gym in your house for which you paid a membership fee of $25 per month. Bottom Line? I’d use it.
