New research shows Vortex PRO-TRAINER offers the opportunity for trainers to reduce knee injuries in athletes by a “predictable” 48.7%

A 30-minute program performed on the Vortex PRO-TRAINER using the patented Xcellerator Power Band system with the weight stack and our Power Belts reduces the probability of knee injuries in athletes by 48.7%.

A dozen members of the nationally ranked the Carroll College football team (who took either 1st or 2nd in the Div 3 Championships in their league the last 6 years running) used this unique and easy to implement program for 2 years and NONE of them got injured in 28 games or more. With these research findings we have proof as to why…not to mention their lateral explosion, durability in the game, especially in the 4th quarter and reaction speed were greatly improved as well. Executive summary follows below:

EFFECTIVENESS OF 6 WEEK

VORTEX BASED EXERCISE PROTOCOL

ON THE PREDICATABILITY ON KNEE AND SHOULDER INJURIY

Executive Summary of Research Project

Carroll College – Helena, Montana Fall 2009

Supervised by Mike Chaet Ph.D.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this research project was to establish a baseline reading of injury risk factors in both the knee and shoulder joints, as tested by muscular strength and balance surrounding these joints. The process was to establish a baseline reading by testing the subjects prior to starting a 6 week – 3 times per week program using the Vortex protocol as established by Garret Garrels, a certified personal trainer specializing in athletic performance. After the six week program all subjects were tested out to evaluate changes in test performance. A second control group was tested in and out as well and were not placed on any program at all. This independent study was done at Carroll College in Helena, Montana. Vortex had no influence, input, or funding of the study.

THE TEST

The ability of an athlete to control his or here body and perform movements of all kinds is essential for every sport. These movements are many times outside of the standard movements a person is called on in performing simple everyday tasks. Excess stresses, movements, and angles are called upon. Weakness and muscle imbalance can lead to various injuries that can cause diminished performance and in many cases pain and debilitation.

The tests adopted for this study is a series of standardized movement screens as described in the full study. It consists of 6 knee and 6 shoulder tests, each designed to test, strength, muscle balance, tracking, and flexibility.

THE EXERCISE PROGRAM

Each subject worked out 3 times per week for six weeks. This was done in conjunction with any other program that they were already doing. The exercise protocols were designed to target the muscle groups (knee and shoulder) featured in the injury prediction tests. All subjects followed the program completely and logged their results for the entire 6 weeks. Each subject was trained to do the exercises properly and were supervised along the way.

THE RESULTS

Upon determining the baseline results, all subjects baseline readings fell within a level considered to have good body control and no major strength deficits. In other words that were not significantly weak in any areas. Thus the subjects were not subject to any restrictions in training routines. Make note that all of the subjects were either varsity athletes, football players, or individuals who were in serious training already.

With this said these subjects tested in at a high level. An interesting observation though was that all of the subjects after taking part in the 6 week training program showed significant improvement in the knee tests. The results indicate that the predictibilility of knee injury was reduced significantly (48.7%).

On the other hand there was no significant change in shoulder injury predictability. Future studies may be undertaken to change the exercise protocol to see if this will change the results.

The control group showed no variance either positive or negative in either knee or shoulder tests.

A member of the military has broken a world records in the name of charity.

PACIFIC GROVE, Calif. –
Seaman Jason Armstrong, from the U.S. Navy, broke three pull-up world records Monday in honor of Memorial Day.

All his sweat and hard work was for a good cause. He did it to raise money for the Wounded Warrior project, which helps seriously wounded service members.

“The guys I’m raising money for have done more than me already, and I’m just doing what I can,” Armstrong said.

Armstrong set a new six hour record with 2,465 pull-ups, averaging 865 pull-ups an hour Sunday night.

He would go on to simultaneously break the 12 and 24 hour pull-up records with 3,186 pull ups in 11 hours and 58 minutes. Armstrong finished with a total of 3,376 total pull-ups after 15 hours and 48 minutes.

But Armstrong said his contribution is nothing compared to what the men and women in uniform have done for our country, and he kept going in honor of Memorial Day.

In all, Armstrong raised nearly $5,000, but for those who still wish to donate, the Wounded Warrior Project will continue to accept donations on his behalf through the end of June.

At Vortex, we take our customer promise of “Innovation for a Better Life” to heart. Founded in January 2000, Vortex has grown from a one person operation to a family of visionaries. Today, we are poised to begin the next phase of our worldwide mission of helping people lead better lives via innovation in the fitness industry. Already, Vortex products from the DaVinci line are enjoyed in facilities spanning the globe ranging from small to large fitness clubs, personal training studios, Olympic Training Centers, Sports training centers, Universities, The US military, MMA, judo, karate and boxing studios, physical therapy & rehab centers, specialized facilities designed for those bound to wheelchairs and those dedicated to helping senior citizens improve their independence and a host of new franchise concepts.

Already, the winds of innovation are blowing. Like a gathering storm that clears out the old and brings in the new, Vortex is preparing to pour some new advancements into the fitness industry. With a series of patent pending products swirling around the Vortex R & D centers, Bob Piane and his team are at it again. So batten down the hatches and keep an eye on the horizon!

Our goal in developing innovative fitness equipment is only to do away with one thing: the conventional wisdom of what fitness equipment should be, how it is designed and how it is used. We examine how both the owner and the user can benefit from its designs as it applies to improving people’s lives using the newest training techniques and methodologies backed by today’s best research and science. By eliminating outdated perceptions, we intend to make way for the novel and exciting direction fitness equipment and programs are heading… training movement and not just focusing on muscles alone.

This traditional exercise performed better. Vince is using the Vortex Pro-Trainer I which combines weight stack loading with resistance bands for enhanced stimulus throughout ROM.

In this way, we strive to blend the best of the old and the new. Our innovative approach hinges on offering equipment that is unlimited in creativity and leaves room for the imagination to go to work. At Vortex, we are non-conformists not only in training style but also in machine and facility design. We strive to deliver products that our customers can actually help design to fit their own specific needs.

Innovation, awesome design, powerful ability to harness the imagination, determined to change the fitness landscape and the status quo in fitness equipment—that is the power of Vortex.

THE PERFECT STORM^® STUDIO (Patent Pending)

Vortex’s Newest Innovation & Business System for
Today’s Studio Operator

Small, Economical & Versatile = The New Formula For Success

Profits are optimized by incorporating paid educational sessions, one-on-one training and group instruction all within a controlled environment providing expert attention at an affordable price.

By maximizing the value of the owner/head trainer’s time, an investment of approximately $5,000 can bring a return exceeding the complete training revenues of most large-scale health clubs.

There are three primary models for personal training studios in the 21st Century. The two conventional operations are plagued by competition, the economy, and a significant cash outlay to start up and to operate. The PERFECT STORM Studio breaks the mold and allows for a studio capable of recovering the total investment in the first 30 days.

The standard cost to open a conventional franchise studio is over $120,000 with high over head and operating costs, plus franchise fees. To open a conventional independent studio with a circuit of machines you need a fairly large sq. ft. facility with high over head and about $60,000 in start-up costs.

The PERFECT STORM STUDIO and business system integrates empowerment and instruction and offers anticipated returns of $15K – $25K per month with a 45% profit margin.
