The Academy has been meticulously designed to be a unique, state-of-the-art training facility offering the best equipment available today.  Visit us to see an unparalleled collection of extraordinary world-class equipment.

KEISER Pneumatic Training Equipment

The Keiser Power Rack allows users to train through the entire velocity spectrum for better power development. There is no excessive shock to joints or connective tissues, because air resistance results in a smooth variable- resistance curve regardless of the speed of movement (unlike free weights).  Keiser equipment was invented to provide high resistance with very little inertia (moving mass) and without the dependence upon gravity. The elimination of a weight stack reduces the mass; therefore the force due to acceleration is virtually eliminated, which leaves only pure variable resistant force.

WOODWAY - The World’s Finest Treadmills

   WOODWAY treadmills provide athletes with several advantages in their training and conditioning because they are unlike any other treadmill. Each treadmill is custom-design with a patented running surface and ball bearing system. The running surface is made from rubber T-slats giving athletes the ultimate cushion and softness, while maintaining the natural biomechanics of their stride. This cushion surface almost eliminates the force of impact with each foot strike, whereas conventional treadmills have a hard surface that creates strain on joints, muscles, and tendons. Unlike conventional treadmills, the WOODWAY also eliminates the belt slippage allowing you to project true speed accuracy that does not vary with the weight of the user.

VERSA CLIMBERS

  VersaClimber offers the most complete, versatile, total body work out available on a single, space efficient cardio machine.  VersaClimbing combines upper and lower body exercises into into a natural vertical climbing motion.

POWER PLATE Acceleration Training

   Power Plate® is the premium vibration device forging a new dimension in wellness solutions for all ages, lifestyles and physical abilities. It uses the principles of Acceleration Training™ to stimulate the body’s natural response to vibration. These vibrations transmit waves of energy throughout the body, activating muscle contractions between 25 and 50 times per second, enhancing overall performance. Acceleration Training™ on Power Plate® equipment offers a host of benefits, ranging from an immediate improvement in blood circulation, to a variety of other measurable outcomes: such as increased muscle strength and flexibility, improved range of motion, decreased cellulite, increased bone mineral density, faster recovery, and reduction of pain and soreness.

VERTIMAX Performance Training System

VertiMax provides “Light Load, High Speed” training which cannot be performed with weights or traditional plyometrics. It allows the athlete to simultaneously load and train the entire body while performing sports specific motions at real time speeds to ensure the overall development of the athlete.

TRX Suspension Training System

  TRX Suspension Training builds total body strength, balance, flexibility and core stability for people of all fitness levels.  It was developed and used by Navy Seals to maintain their fitness while on deployment. Unlike traditional weight training that tends to be linear and follow one plane of movement, Suspension Training encourages multiplanar training, which integrates all your motions and mimics real life movement. This results in a muscular balance of your body that increases performance while preventing injuries.

POWER BLOCKS - The World’s Best Dumbbells

  PowerBlocks are the heaviest, most compact, perfectly balanced and easiest to use quick-change dumbbell available. Power Block is the only dumbbell system that can adapt to meet your ever-changing strength needs.  

HEARTMATH Stress Management System

   Personalized, life-changing solutions to help you experience the physical, mental and emotional benefits of heart-based living.  Stress, anger, fear, compulsive behaviors and other negative states all are signs of incoherent heart-rhythm patterns and are represented on heart-rhythm monitors by jagged, irregular waves. Fatigue is common among people with such symptoms. In contrast, when you have a coherent heart you are at your best. Stress chemical pathways reverse, paving the way for increased synchronization between the heart and brain, and in this synchronized state, which athletes call being "in the zone," you can achieve optimal mental clarity, cognitive performance and perception. Energy levels, sleeping patterns, relationships, mental, physical, and emotional health, all improve.
