Unconventional training tools - Clubbells, K-Bell, Elevation Mask Training, STROOPS & Undulation Rope!

What's your favorite training tool or equipment? Treadmill? Stationary bicycle? Dumbells? MedBall? Elliptical machine? Got myself some 'fitness gadgets' to be used for personal training in my program, as well as being able to expose to more variety of training tools. Of course, some of the stuff I bought are not available in Malaysia, or it is very difficult to find in my own country, as I have yet to discover or find any shops or outlets that sell the less common fitness/workout tools.

Well, most commercial gyms do have dumbbells, cardio machines, barbells, etc. But, tools such as clubbells, kettlebells, combat ropes, elevation mask training,  stroops and TRX are some of the unconventional training gadgets you don't find in most commercial gyms. Although there are a few commercial gyms starting to install TRX and kettlebells in their outlets, but you will need a good trainer (certified) to assist and train the clients to avoid injuries and NOT giving these power tools a bad reputation! Always remember, it is not the training tool which is dangerous or bad, but it is due to poor or sloppy techniques or training which resulted in injuries.




Elevation Mask Training - A whole new intensity and training level


STROOPS - an awesome training tool!

Kettlebells - One of the best tools to hit all your energy systems.


Combat undulation rope - Your muscles will scream for mercy!


Clubbells - An ancient tool for definitive edge in strength and endurance training.



TRX RIP trainer - One of the best tool to train transverse plane and develop power.



Apart from Vibram Fivefingers, this would be another addition of 'barefoot'  apparel for fitness enthusiasts especially for people who loves strength training and sprints.
