Inclusive Fitness & Training

Inclusive Fitness & TrainingAt Coopal, we really believe in sport and training for everyone – whatever capability.

Equal access to the best training experience should be a given whether the user has physical impairment, cognitive challenges, rehabilitation requirements or they just don't find things as easy as they used to.

We are interested in bringing the right equipment, designed and built to excellent standards to everyone. Equipment that can be used by everyone – whatever ability.

We believe all individuals with or without disability should be able to train side by side, use the same equipment and be part of the same experience.

Working with manufacturers who embrace this ideology, Coopal aims to help facilities attract a diverse client base of all abilities and needs, helping everyone to improve fitness, confidence and social interaction.

By taking this approach facilities can stand out, attract new members and be happy, positive places where amazing things happen!

Cybex VR3 Strength Anti – Gravity, sound too good to be true doesn't it? But that is exactly what this amazing machine does!

In basic terms it unweighs the user, allowing them to train on a treadmill at anywhere between 100% and 20% of their regular body weight.

This helps a broad spectrum of users with differing needs, from professional athletes to those who have experienced serious illness.

If the user is dealing with lower body trauma, pain, obesity or neurological conditions that inhibit mobility the underweighting effects of the Alter-G are truly life-changing!

What can it offer users?

  • Reduce the effect of gravity by selecting any weight between 20% and 100% of your  regular body weight in 1% increments
  • Rehabilitate lower limb trauma with less pain and less impact
  • Help create mobility and strength in complete safety for those with neurological conditions
  • Help users lose weight and exercise safely and more intensively through unweighting technology
  • Exercise without pain and reduce stress on joints and muscles
  • Recover quickly and effectively, with less pain after training or competition

This amazing technology has a wide application for clients and facilities, perfectly placed in the following situations:

  • Sports injury & rehabilitation for athletes
  • Rehabilitation in mobility for senior patients
  • Rehabilitation for patients suffering from neurological illness
  • Safe training for children who are experiencing a mobility disability
  • Assisting patients with weight control programs regain mobility and train to reduce weight
  • Help active and retired military personnel recover and rehabilitate

How does it work?

Basically the Alter-G Anti-Gravity treadmill is a standard, high quality treadmill placed inside a large, sealed, inflatable bag. The user wears shorts that zip into the bag and provide an airtight seal in use.

The machine uses blown air to provide pressure inside the bag that can be adjusted to unweigh the user and provide the effect of anti-gravity from between 20% and 100% of their body weight.

While experiencing the under-weighing effect the user can train on the enclosed treadmill, varying speed, incline and reverse direction.

The bag and shorts not only provide the means to unweigh the user, but also act to provide stability and inspire confidence for those with mobility issues.

This technology excites us at Coopal because it truly represents what the Inclusive Fitness ideology is all about.
