ADDING RESISTANCE

GETTING A GRIP


With grip strength the foundation of all lifting exercises, Escape Fitness has created the GripR – a Grip Resistance Trainer that helps members develop grip strength and therefore fully maximise their studio experience. The Grip Resistance Trainer


is ideal for individual exercises but, as it has been manufactured to withstand the toughest of treatment, it’s also perfect for small group training sessions and studio work where it can be used for throwing and catching drills. The GripR has a bright, bold


design and is available in fi ve different weights, allowing beginners to progress.


programming teaches elite coaches and trainers how to use the resistance bands and attachments to identify weaknesses or imbalances in an athlete’s movements. But it’s not just for elite athletes; the


portability of the system means it can be used for bootcamps and gym-based PT and group training, adding bodyweight resistance into circuit class exercises and giving options for partner work.

BOX CLEVER


HAVING A BALL


Distributed in the UK by GymKit UK, the Ugi ball combines the squish of a beanbag with the bounce-back of a stress ball. The balls are used in a 30-minute class-based workout. Developed by kinesiologist and personal trainer Sara Shear, the functional workout engages the entire body in every routine, involving hoisting, balancing on and swinging the ball for a non-stop 30-minute workout. The balls come in various weights


and can be used on the gym fl oor, with a PT, in bootcamp or in a class. Ugi (‘U Got It’) is part of the


portfolio of equipment-based education company Mad Dogg Athletics – the creator of Spinning, Cross Core and Peak Pilates.


Star Trac has launched BoxMaster education – instructor training to accompany its BoxMaster boxing training station. With its spring-loaded pads that give


slightly on impact, the BoxMaster has been designed to replicate punching a focus mitt and is arranged to cater for any type of punch or combination of punches. BoxMaster education complements this equipment to ensure a signifi cant reduction in the risk of injury.
