Suspension Training - A revolution in bodyweight training and exercise.
We are proud to offer Suspension Training as our main form of training, along with kettlebells, bosu, and ropes. Our trainer team has helped hundreds of clients to achieve their fitness goals through this revolutionary method of training.
Suspension training is gaining international recognition as a revolutionary form of exercise and is being adopted by professional athletes and top trainers from around the world.
Suspension exercise offers a new form of training for people of all abilities. It allows you to leverage your own bodyweight and gravity to develop strength, balance, flexibility, and joint stability simulaneously.
Hailed as a revolution in bodyweight training and exercise, it offers a scalable form of training for people of all abilities. It allows you to leverage your own bodyweight and gravity to develop strength, balance, flexibility, and joint mobility simultaneously. Suspension training is highly adaptable to the individual, as the level of difficulty and intensity of the exercises can be determined by changing the body position or adjusting the angle at which the exercise is performed, giving you complete control over your fitness developments.
As exercises are carried out in a suspended state, rather than fixed like traditional weight training equipment, it requires a great deal of core body work to stabilize your movements against the forces of gravity. Whatever your fitness level suspension training can challenge you and you will see real developments.
