FitPro Spring Convention - Wow What a Great Show!

This was the first time we have been to FitPro and we were overwhelmed by the response from Personal Trainers (PT’s) and health clubs. We presented a technical presentation to a very enthusiastic audience, despite it being at 8am on the Sunday morning (and this was definitely the morning after the night before!). We also had an exhibition stand. This was very busy all weekend and was supposed to close at 3.30 on Sunday afternoon, and while other exhibitors were closing up at lunch time, we had guys queuing until 4pm to find out more about what we do.

The PT’s were fascinated by the concept of the biomechanical preparation they can provide for their clients and how it would improve not only their exercise prescription but also help manage the biomechanical causes of the many ailments that their clients often suffer from. As always we made it clear that the biomechanics programmes are not deigned in this context for treating people’s injuries, the whole idea is to help reduce the biomechanical causes, which can have a profound effect. We were providing free biomechanical screens (tests) to delegates to demonstrate how simple they were and quick to perform, despite being biomechanically valid.

It was also good to catch up with our friends from Flexi-bar and Power Plate and look at more ways that we can work together. In fact Flexi-bar very kindly donated a flexi-bar as one of our prizes which was won by a delighted PT!

Now we’re spending a lot of time working through the massive amount of interest and contacting people to provide them the info they’re after. If you’re one of them, you’ll be hearing from us soon!
