Gymstick Testimonials

The Gymstick is a great fitness tool because it allows you to try endless number of an movements. I have tried many different fitness tools during the 20 years that i have worked as a group exercise instructor, but the Gymstick tops them all. The response from people was extremely positive when i started using the Gym stick in my group workouts. People liked the large variety of movements and the quick changes betweeen them. They also thought that it was easy to increase and decrease the resistance. In addition, people felt that their balance, co-ordination, and muscular strength improved during the exercises.
