The FITKITpro is an extremely well made, functional training tool which has huge potential relevance to the Strength and Conditioning needs of the footballer at all levels.

It is the "football specific" qualities of FITKIT which make it a must have product for players and coaches alike.

“The FitKit Pro has proved to be an extremely useful rehab tool to bridge the gap between non weighted exercises and return to a full training programme.  The ability to modify it for a range of uses including dynamic flexibility work and graduated body suspended training make the FKP an invaluable piece of equipment in the medical room and gym.

We have had a huge amount of positive feedback from players having introduced the FKP into our prehab sessions with noticeable improvements in compliance.”

Roonie Coryton, Team Physiotherapist, Bristol Rugby Club

 

" We have found FitKit Pro to be a highly versatile piece of resistance equipment. It challenges the core strength of the athlete and provides an alternative option to dumbbells or barbells. The neck harness attachment is an excellent addition, especially for the rugby player. However, what stands our from the other similar types of product I have used, is the sheer quality and durability of the product. All players and staff fully appreciate the effectiveness and craftsmanship of the FitKit Pro! "

The RFUW have been training with the FITKIT Pro® for a number of months. whilst it appears similar in nature too many other suspension kits on the market, the independent straps has made the variance in exercise selection far greater for us. We regularly use the Fitkits within the gym for functional exercises that are multifaceted in nature as a supplement to our traditional lifting methods for developing strength and power qualities. The FITKITs have provided us with an opportunity to focus on specific trunk, neck, hamstring and pulling strength development. The most beneficial use for us however has been during our travels abroad, where gym access and facilities are often limited for resistance training. Within camp based trips, the FITKITs have enabled us to provide resistance based sessions for players by attachment to a fixed piece of apparatus. The players responded well to their use and could see the major benefits in using them to prevent potential detraining throughout a period of competition.

Roy Steudle: (English Slalom Champion) - 'Those straps are tough! I can't believe how much they make you work with some of the exercises'

Edward Stephens: (Ex British Super-G Champion) - 'It's really hard to keep your body stable while doing the exercises on these. I can really feel it in the core the next day'

Marc Telling: (Head Coach Ambition Racing) - 'The FitKitPro straps provide a great alternative for all body training, they can be adjusted to suit all abilities and the range of exercises you can do with them is infinite. A real bonus to any physical training program.

I have been involved in international sport and health and fitness for the last 21 years. I have been to the highest level in my sport of athletics as a 400m and 400m hurdler, having won the Welsh title on 5 occasions and represented my country on 47 occasions. I feel that for my own conditioning and strength the FITKIT Pro® has improved my range of mobility, flexibility and core strength in a way that no other training has ever achieved.

I used to be the typical sprinter, hitting big weights throughout the winter through into the spring; this would enable me to get very strong and powerful however I was always suffering from a painful back, knees and hips. Having used the FITKIT Pro® now for 2 years I know longer have issues with a bad back from the heavy squats and dead lifts and yet I still feel just as strong with the added benefit of having a stronger core to improve my running and hurdles technique. I also have much better conditioning and core strength than I have had in the previous 20 years of my running career and this i turn has made me more explosive and am know less likely to pick up injuries.

I really wish that when I was close to breaking onto the biggest stage in athletics that the FITKIT Pro® had been around as it would have made a major improvement to my performance and I feel that I would have gone a lot further and achieved a great deal more.  Since finding this fantastic training device I have now targeted an extension to my career in athletics and aim to win the World Masters 400m Hurdles title in 2009, which is something that with my old training methods was not looking possible.

Further to this I have been a Level 3 Advanced Personal Trainer for 12 years and built up a client bass of 56 clients. Again the FITKIT Pro® for me is the greatest training tool that I have seen while in this industry, this is something that everyone of any ability could use, it’s none threatening to the complete beginner and also to people who do not like weights, through to the most advanced trainer or sportsmen.  It has the ability work with rehab clients after injury or surgery as well as with children.

The FITKIT Pro® could change the way that fitness is look at and will ensure improvements to all that use it and the improvements will be evident in a shorter time than traditional methods. The most impressive thing about the FITKIT Pro® is that you use more than the single muscle group you are using all supporting muscles around each joint, your core is locked in at all time and so you will see the results fast.

Lastly the best thing is that it gives you a massive range of exercises and you can perform them in a fun and enjoyable way, rather than the normal slightly boring exercises that we see every day in every gym anywhere in the world.

It’s new and it works, and I mean from both using it with clients and also to improvements in my own conditioning and sporting performance.

The FITKIT Pro® is an extremely important part of our athlete performance program when we are on the road. Whether it’s working with our surfers off the coast of Sumatra, or following the snowboard program in the mountains of New Zealand, Its functionality, durability and portability has proved invaluable. By allowing us to maintain key elements of our performance program while travelling, it has contributed considerably to the achievement of our in-season training goals.

The FITKIT Pro® has been of great use to the Bristol Academy of Sport physiotherapy department in terms of enabling us to utilise what we call ”controlled -instability".
 
Certainly with ankle and knee rehabilitation we have been able to introduce sport-specific functional loading exercises at an earlier stage than we have been in the past. We are able to challenge the athlete in a functional way, with a level of instability that is appropriate for their stage of healing.
 
The use of the harness is particularly useful for knee rehabilitation, enabling the athlete to carry out a functional squat, but with reduced loading through the injured tissues.
 
Additionally, the use of the two straps rather than one has enabled us to use modified single leg squats to great effect. The FITKIT Pro® has certainly been a useful addition to our rehabilitation tool box!

Dan, Gee and Rachel Atherton Mountain Bike World Champions Training

Gee dislocated his shoulder and Dan tore his rotator cuff, this obviously had an impact in the training we could do in the off season. As soon as the guys were able to be a lot more dynamic with their shoulders, rather than embark on a upper body strength training programme using weights we used the milokit. With time of the essence, the FITKIT Pro® was absolutely perfect to develop the guys’ upper body strength whilst challenging the upper body proprioception, balance and control at the same time. A FITKIT Pro® will be travelling with them on the World Cup circuit to maintain all over body strength, control and is part of the pre-race warm up.

Rachel also unfortunately dislocated her shoulder in a road riding accident in training in California - again the FITKIT Pro® is going to play a crucial role in the rehabilitation of her shoulder to get her back to full fitness as soon as possible.

As defending UCI World Champions - we're committed to only using the best possible methods and rationales in the physical preparation and re-habilitation of the riders. The FITKIT Pro® certainly fits into that functional, challenging role and is a key part of our athletic development plan.

As a trainer and conditioning coach to professional Boxers the FITKIT Pro® provides me with everything I need for the complete training session.  The range of exercises is limitless and with the system of training against your own body weight and movement, the 'fear' of gaining weight that many Boxers have with conventional conditioning training simply doesn’t exist.  I thoroughly recommend it to you.

FITKIT Pro® is by far the most versatile, useful, functional simple piece of kit I’ve ever used! The results I have achieved with my clients & in my own training are phenomenal. This is by far the most cost efficient way to train people in sports conditioning and general fitness. FITKIT Pro® is simple....yet effective

In 23 years of shooting this is the best physical training aid I have ever used to assist me in my Archery. It allows me to put in a heavy session and still shoot the next day with no fatigue problems. In my sport it’s all about the fine control of the shot. Using standard gym equipment meant that it took me 2 days to recover to get the fine feel back. Using the FITKIT Pro® allows rapid recovery. This is so important for my shooting.

Using the FITKIT Pro® has really helped me increase my physical strength and stamina whilst shooting my bow. In just after 2 months of using the FITKIT Pro® I have already shot 2 personal best scores internationally. I am very pleased with using the FITKIT Pro® and what I especially like about it is that I can take it away all around the world on international competitions. Thank you FITKIT Pro® for your support.
