VIBRATION TRAINING

Power Plate International introduced the new pro6. It is the first-ever combination of Power Plate exercise with upper body cable-resistance training and is designed to give users a total body workout in half an hour. The Power Plate pro6 features a new fitness system called proMOTION, which uses high-strength Vectran cables to transfer vibration to the upper body at high-speed frequency rates between 20 and 40 times per second, which expands the benefits of acceleration training. Extending to more than six feet, proMOTION's Vectran cables connect to ergonomically designed handles to facilitate a smooth, complete range of motion. They allow for a full range of dynamic exercises, both on and off the vibrating platform and at any speed, in any direction.

CLIMBING WALL RESTORATION

Eldorado Climbing Walls' MicroTex is a pliable climbing wall resurfacing system that can be applied over existing cementitious climbing wall surfaces to give climbing wall structures a facelift. MicroTex's thin-coat system applies a 1/16-inch layer of resurfacing to the existing climbing wall, improving appearance and durability. MicroTex restores the look of climbing walls, encapsulates the aging texture and preserves the integrity of the walls. MicroTex allows owners to update their walls at a fraction of the cost of tearing down and building a new one.
