Essential
Your own body and its weight is the best piece exercise equipment that we utilize when it comes getting you fit… gravity is your friend. For the more advanced individuals we are able to enhance this aspect by incorporating a weighted vests and other complimentary products.

Kettlebells
Originally used in Russia and Europe as counter weights for agricultural scales the kettlebell or Girya (Russian) is a cast iron weight looking somewhat like a cannonball with a thick round handle. The kettlebell is fast becoming a popular exercise tool due largely to the efforts of strength and flexibility coach Pavel Tsatsouline and also by World Champion and world record holder in competitive  kettlebell events Valery Fedorenko. Unlike most dumbbell, exercises with the kettlebell muscles are forced to work as a synergistic unit across several planes of motion, while requiring the individual to maintain balance and control.
The kettlebell is an ideal piece of equipment to work the 5 main components of
fitness:

• Strength
• Flexibility
• Body composition
• Endurance
• Mobility

The Kettlebell utilized as the base piece of equipment coupled with a number of select items is by far one of THE best tool to achieve a complete and well round level of fitness.

Traditional
Weight training is a common type of Strength training for developing the strength and size of skeletal muscles. It uses the force of gravity (in the form of weighted bars, dumbbells or weight stacks) to oppose the force generated by muscle through concentric or eccentric movements. Weight training uses a variety of specialized equipment such as barbells, dumbbells, and the like to target specific muscle groups and types of movement.

Resistance Bands
When you use free weights, gravity decides where the weight comes from, so you get more resistance during one part of the movement (such as the upswing of a bicep curl) than the other (the downswing). With bands, the tension is constant, which makes it feel harder. Because there’s tension throughout the exercises, you have to stabilize your body. This helps with coordination, balance and it also helps you involve more muscle groups.

Depending on how you use them, bands can be great for beginners as well as more advanced exercisers. You can use them for basic moves or to add intensity to traditional movements.

Stability Balls
Stability balls have multiple applications, improving core stability, static and dynamic balance, strength, flexibility, and can enhance functional performance of activities of daily living or ADLs. The stability ball can also be used to improve athletic performance. They can used as an entire workout or be integrated as a part of well round program for greater variety and effective development of core stability.

Medicine balls
Medicine ball training is one of the oldest forms of strength and conditioning training – the first reference to wrestlers training with sand filled bladders appears in Persia nearly 3000 years ago. In ancient Greece the physician Hippocrates had them sewn out of animal skins and stuffed with sand. His patients threw them back and forth for injury prevention and rehabilitation.

In the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, the words “health” and “medicine” were synonymous. The so-called “Four Horseman of Fitness” was the dumbbell, the Indian club, the wand and the medicine ball. This is where the beginnings of the modern medicine ball originate.

The Ropes
Jump rope can avoid the knee damage which may occur during running, since the impact of each jump or step is absorbed by both legs. Jumping rope also helps strengthen the arms and shoulders. This combination of an aerobic workout and coordination-building footwork has made jumping rope a popular and efficient form of exercise for athletes, such as boxers, wrestlers, homemakers, teachers, children etc.

Individuals or groups can participate in the exercise, and learning proper jump rope technique is relatively simple compared to many other athletic activities. The exercise is also appropriate for a wide range of ages and fitness levels. Jumping rope is particularly effective in an aerobic routine combined with other activities, such as walking, biking, or running.

Climbing Rope
Rope climbing is a very simple exercise; in fact, it is probably the simplest exercise you will come across. Rope climbing has been one of the favorite exercises of combat athletes all over the world for centuries. Many historians agree that rope climbing is one of the earliest forms of gymnastic equipment ever practiced, and ancient ropes have been unearthed from several sites in Ancient Greece. It was (and is) an excellent method for developing strength and endurance in the entire body that would come in handy for a variety of military maneuvers. If you can’t pull yourself up when you need to in a tough situation, you just might be dead meat.

The Rings
Ring training is a form of body weight exercise using gymnastics rings. It’s a highly challenging form of training, but in return – the benefits are far in excess of any other traditional exercise routine. The benefits of training with rings are obvious to anyone who has seen a gymnasts at work on them, which speaks for itself. It takes strength, and focus to workout using rings, and so in-turn helps to develop your strength, your muscle definition and overall fitness. They are effective for developing all aspects of muscular strength and overall power and joint stability.

BOSU
Balance Trainer, or BOSU ball as it is often called, is an athletic training device consisting of an inflated rubber hemisphere attached to a rigid platform. It is also referred to as the “blue half-ball”, because it looks like a stability ball cut in half. The name is an acronym which stands for “Both Sides Utilized,” (although the BOSU official web site also says it means “Both Sides Up”) a reference to the myriad ways a BOSU ball can be used. The device is often used for balance training. When the dome side faces up, the BOSU ball provides an unstable surface while the device remains stable. This combination of stable/unstable allows a wide range of users, from the young, elderly, or injured to the elite level athlete. With the dome side up, the device can be used for athletic drills and aerobic activities.
