Vitality, Performance, Reconditioning. The ViPR is a new piece of equipment you may have seen tucked away in the pages of Perform Better or, more recently, spotlighted on PTontheNet?s facebook page. But what does this pretty innocuous-looking equipment actually do? To put it simply, it?s not what the ViPR can do, but what you and your clients can do with the ViPR.

With a specific design for programming progression, training with the ViPR is efficiently streamlined into a process where any client can utilize any ViPR?be it 4kg or 20kg?and get a great workout. It?s a unique tool that can be used for one-on-one training, small group training, and group exercise. There is such a vast array of variables that can be manipulated in each of the six stages of programming (series, exercise, hold, footprint, handprint, and threshold), that the only limitation to the ViPR is the creativity of the trainer. Luckily, the certification course as well as the resources on the ViPR website provide more than enough groundwork for quickly building a strong foundation to your exercise library.

In the words of co-creater Michol Dalcourt, ?ViPR was created from a need to evolve training tools, foster purposeful motion and blend strength training with functional training and movement.? Within that context, basic ViPR movements can be easily progressed or regressed to encompass each of the 3 components for which ViPR draws its name.

Vitality exercises are purposeful and strong and feature complex movements, integrated timing of function, and can feature a reactive component. Performance exercises are dynamic, fast, reactive, highly complex, and can translate well for athletes looking to enhance game-day performance. Reconditioning exercises have a more controlled range of motion, and help clients regain the ability to move more effectively and efficiently.
