Well, the holiday season is upon us. And this season is all about giving. That's one of the nice side-effects of being a relatively small team of local experts. We are here to take care of the fitness needs of our community, of our clients and trainers and builders and designers.
And we appreciate all of you.
In case you've got a fitness fanatic who is hard to buy for, or if you need a few extra gift ideas, I've taken a few minutes and bent my mind and expertise to this fitness gift guide. It's not 'Best Deals' or 'Sell, Sell, Sell"...it's supposed to be some new, fresh takes for our community. I hope that there is something for everyone in this Gift Guide. We do have trainer special Holiday deals, as well, at the bottom.
The first gift idea is based on science
We literally push 10 times the oxygen when we're working out in the gym room than at any other point in our day. Yes, studies show we literally push 10 times the amount of oxygen in and out of our lungs while working out compared to the rest of the day. And yet so many
workout spaces are in the basement, and in the winter we are all stuck with indoor air. The solution to this is a probiotic air system called
Better Air. Better Air is a system that pushes a probiotic mist into the air of the gym room where it changes the chemistry of the air and falls onto the surfaces and also destroys pathogens and
allergens there. This improves the quality of ANY workout. Talk about thoughtful!
Better Air MSRP $399, Special for $299
Vibration therapy is used heavily by nearly every professional sports team, and most national football teams have many of them. Your body responds to high levels of multidimensional vibration as instability, so your muscle fibers work a lot harder when you were on a power plate. It also is great for stretching and improves blood flow and lymphatic transport as well. There's a lot of research on how it increases bone density. One of the great hidden secrets of our industry.
Number three on the holiday gift guide
This bar is made by the finest manufacturer of free weights in the industry and this particular bar is a favorite with almost all of our personal trainers.
It 'kickstands' up to get out of the way and also to load plates on. It's perfectly balanced, and because it's open on one side it allows for lunges and carries and other exercises a traditional trap bar can't do.
And by the way, it's not Hyperbole, in terms of free weight quality, they are amazing.
If you are trying to get the "Big Gift" for the Holidays
Landice Treadmills are Made in New Jersey, so our stock of them is very current, and they have the best
chance of making it under the Holiday tree or with some Gelt this year. They have the longest warranty and the best acceleration in the industry. If you are trying to show off a bit or show you care about the best, Landice has been made in NJ since 1967.
One of the top 2 treadmill Brands ever.
These are what many people have been dreaming about for years, an actual space-effective full set of dumbbells that actually
feels like dumbbells, not blocks or long sticks with plates. Super high quality and convenient, and built like
Pro-style Dumbbells, not like cement blocks.
And the whole set, with the stand, fits in a 2'x2' area.
This is a fantastic app that takes connected fitness and allows you to use it with the better fitness brands.
So often, in the last few years, a client has to decide between getting good content or getting a good piece of equipment. While there are a few exceptions, most of the well-known content/equipment brands are very poorly made.
The regatta fitness app works with many of the top fitness brands, like True and Octane, and Spirit. So you can use great equipment with great content without sacrificing. This is also a great gift for somebody who's bought a piece of equipment recently and might be a little extra motivation.
It wouldn't be a Holiday gift guide without a great Bench suggestion
And one thing no one ever thinks about is how easily a bench can be moved...or not. The TKO FID bench is really well-built, is a light-commercial quality, has a super-small footprint (53″ L x 24″ W x 18″ H), and does flat, incline, and decline. It's also super-mobile. One of our absolutely best-selling pieces.
TKO FID Bench MSRP $649 December Sale Price $549
The Echelon EX-8 is the hottest new fitness bike in the industry
With a curved screen, it decreases
eye strain and increases the immersive feel. It has a special flex frame that takes stress off when you're off the saddle and it has resistance shifters up in the front of the handlebars like an outdoor bike. This is a perfect gift for your client who is bored of their old low quality connected bike or for somebody just getting into the market. An amazing look and ride.
Echelon EX-8s MSRP $3199, December Price $2299
