KEEP UP AND STEP TO THE RHYTHM

REEBOK STUDIO HERITAGEREEBOK ESTABLISHED ITS COMMITMENT TO FITNESS IN 1982 WITH THE CREATION OF THE WORLD’S FIRST ATHLETIC SHOE, DESIGNED ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN.

THE SHOE WAS CALLED THE REEBOK FREESTYLE AND IT REVOLUTIONISED EXERCISE TO MUSIC.

6

IN AUGUST 1989 STEP REEBOK WAS BORN. UP UNTIL THEN FITNESS STUDIOS WERE EMPTY SPACES WITH NOTHING MORE THAN A SOUND SYSTEM AND SOME MATS.

The Reebok Step changed this by being more than just a product. It was the world’s first equipment based, scientifically researched, studio fitness programme.

The Reebok Step established itself as an essential component of all studios. Its design has continuously evolved throughout the years, with the latest Professional version being both bold and functional.

As the industry and knowledge base continues to evolve, so does the Reebok equipment range. The Reebok EasyTone Step, launched globally in 2012, combines both moving air technology and the characteristics of the original Reebok Step. This blend offers a truly unique workout experience not least because the platform can be used both sides up, but also because the airflow can be adjusted to increase the demands on both cardio and strength workouts.

In addition to strength and balance, high intensity training continues to gain traction. This is where the Reebok TrainPod comes into its own. Designed to be used for short, high intensity aerobic and anaerobic bursts, the air pod and skate deck challenges speed, agility, balance and strength, all in the most compact of fitness platforms.

As part of a fitness industry that continues to grow and diversify, Reebok keeps challenging convention and embracing change, whilst developing innovative products to help you grow your business and increase retention.

INSPIRED BY ITS ROOTS IN FITNESS, REEBOK IS A GLOBAL SPORTS BRAND THAT IS COMMITTED TO EMPOWERING CONSUMERS TO BE FIT FOR LIFE.

“ The Reebok Step was the first and probably the most innovative dual product and programme to achieve global success. If a product is judged on its ability to stand the test of time then the Reebok Step cannot be beaten. Having taught in 40 countries around the world, for over 25 years, the Reebok Step has been an ever-present feature in my job as a trainer and presenter.”TRAINER FEEDBACK

Over the years we have constantly refreshed and improved the performance of the Reebok Step. The new ‘bubble’ surface gives the latest Step a textured feel and improves functionality.

The height of the Step can also be adjusted quickly and easily to three different levels to give the workout a significant change in intensity.

THE DECKStepping up and down on the Deck is the simplest way of achieving cardiovascular gains, but the seamless ability to adjust the platform through both parallel and acute angles means that you can step not only on the flat, but also in the incline and decline configuration.

With the Deck in its Bench mode, strength training can be performed with either resistance tubes or with barbells and dumbbells. If you are considering one item of fitness equipment to give you a focal point for your fitness regime then the Deck should be that item.

FOR BEST RESULTS...The beauty of the Deck is that it can quickly transform between being a cardio and strength product. For many years the best fitness outcomes have resulted from interval training, where you ‘confuse’ the body by frequently switching from cardio to strength activities.

The latest incarnation of this style of training is known as HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). This style of training often requires a large and varied range of equipment, but with the Reebok Deck you have all the equipment you need in one very clever package.

“ The Reebok Deck is a platform to fire up the imagination of every ETM instructor and PT. Frankly I love using the Deck because it makes my job not only easier but also more effective. On its own or in conjunction with resistance bands, barbells or dumbbells, I’ve created over four hundred exercises that make use of the incline, decline and backrest positions. Even to this day I’m still coming up with more variables I can use to challenge both men and women of all fitness levels.”

COMBINING OF REEBOK'S BEST KNOWN INNOVATIONS

THE REEBOK STEP AND MOVING AIR TECHNOLOGY.2

24

IT INCORPORATES TWO INTER-CONNECTED AIR PODS THAT ALLOW FOR AIR TO BE TRANSFERRED FROM POD TO POD. YOU CAN PERFORM BASIC AND FUN MOVES THAT CAN IMPROVE BALANCE, CO-ORDINATION, STRENGTH, AGILITY AND CARDIOVASCULAR PERFORMANCE.

The platform can be used both sides up. With the pods down it performs in a similar way to the classic Reebok Step but with a controlled amount of instability. With the pods up it becomes far more challenging (and productive) as your muscles have to fire to help you balance and work against the air pressure.

FOR BEST RESULTS...There are familiar exercises like step ups and lunges, however because the EasyTone Step is unique some of the moves in the exercise portfolio rely upon its fantastic airflow technology.

DIMENSIONS 650 x 410 x 165mm

The EasyTone Step has a built in air-valve switch, that means that you can instantly adjust the airflow and resistance of the air moving between the pods. As you improve, the step keeps on adding new challenges to keep you excited and motivated.

Some of the key features are subtle but really add to your experience on the EasyTone Step. First there is the step zone and tone zone which are highlighted by different textures on the top of the platform. The airflow valve makes the product future proof as it continuously lets you alternate between resistance and balanced based exercises.

DESIGNER NOTES

“ The EasyTone Step feels like more than one product as it blends the benefits of ‘Step’ with the fun and challenging fitness experience of working on the integrated balance pods.

“It works the core” is perhaps one of the most overused phrases to describe fitness equipment. However, the EasyTone Step, with it’s natural instability, logically encourages deep core stabilisers and dynamic skeletal muscle recruitment, enhancing both strength and toning activity, and making it the ideal tool for both group exercise and personal trainers.”

TRAINER FEEDBACK

TRAINPOD

The TrainPod provides a challenging unstable platform for feet, hands or arms, resulting in

muscles being forced to work hard to keep the body stabilised.

The exercise possibilities are almost endless with this

versatile product.

TRAINPODUNLIKE ANY OTHER PIECE OF FITNESS EQUIPMENT, THE REEBOK TRAINPOD HARNESSES YOUR KINETIC ENERGY AS YOU JUMP, HOP AND PUMP THE INFLATABLE POD.

Muscles in the lower body are blitzed as you squeeze and jump on the pod, gripping it between your feet, then the excitement continues when you hold the handles of the platform for floor based strength and conditioning exercises.

+ Multi-purpose functional training platform provides a huge range of exercises.

+ Air pods create challenging instability forcing muscles to work hard.

+ Adjustable air pressure allows varied intensity.

You can never be sure how a product will perform when it is just on the drawing board. When our trainers got their hands on the first prototype it was not just a relief but also remarkable to see how many exercises they came up with on such a simple, compact product.

If you reach a point where it gets too easy we suggest adding a speed rope into the mix. If you are able to do ‘double unders’ then you are doing very well indeed!

DESIGNER NOTES “ Once you get past the expectation that the TrainPod ‘bounces’ you in the air and realise that you are actually performing ‘pod propelled jumps’ then this unique piece of equipment comes to life.

When standing on the TrainPod, the dynamic platform and pod seamlessly blend strength, balance, aerobic and anaerobic exercise together. Whilst, in the lying position, strength exercises take on a new level of challenge with increased muscle activity and energy expenditure simply by adding the TrainPod.”

EASYTONE STEP TRAININGTHE PRODUCTReebok has been a leading innovator within the fitness industry for over 20 years and continues to lead the field with the latest evolution of fitness equipment - the Reebok EasyTone Step.

This exciting piece of equipment combines two of Reebok’s best known innovations - the Reebok Step and EasyTone Moving Air Technology - into one piece of equipment. The EasyTone Step is a platform consisting of a flat surface supported by a balance pod filled with air under each end. The pods are connected by an air flow valve which permits, controls or prevents air flow between the pods. When the air flow valve is switched to the on position, air Is able to travel between the pods, thereby creating an unstable surface on which to exercise. This instability adds a new dimension to step training.

THE TRAINING Exercise professionals wishing to use the EasyTone Step in the group exercise or one-on-one setting are required to complete the instructor certification course which is designed to provide instructors with an introduction to the EasyTone Step and the skills necessary to deliver a safe and effective workout.

If you already hold an Exercise To Music (ETM), Gym or Personal Training qualification, the instructor certification course is offered as standalone Continuing Professional Development (CPO). If you are in the UK and on the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs), you’ll receive 16 REPs CPD points for successfully completing the course, which is great news when you consider you only need 12 CPD points to stay on the register. EREPS, the European Register of Exercise Professionals, does not operate a points system, however this course is fully recognised by it and complies with EREPS requirements for its lifelong learning programme.

The course is offered in two formats - online (online theory + DVD practical assessment submission) or blended learning (online theory + face-to-face training and practical assessment day). The format you choose to study will determine the practical training you receive and the way in which your practical assessment is performed and assessed.

38

THE WORKOUTThe workout created blends functional activity with cutting-edge, athletic exercise sequences designed to target core stability, balance and cardiovascular fitness. Performed to a hard-hitting sound track, the workout includes dynamic conditioning.

Stability training and cardio programming and is suitable for both group exercise instructors and personal trainers. Not only does the workout contain proven, results-based training techniques like Peripheral Heart Action and Interval Training. It also includes a fitness test for you and your class participants to perform in weeks 1, 6, 11 and 16. Record the number of repetitions performed of each activity during the fitness test and aim to better that number each time the test is taken.

THE PROGRAMMEThe programme is supported by an instructor certification course and four-monthly updates called “episodes”. Each new episode consists of a new sound track (CD), new programming/choreography (DVD) and written choreographic notes. We’ll send these straight to you.

Each episode should be looked upon as a body transformation challenge and the fitness test allows you and your participants to monitor improvements throughout the challenge period (the period of time between EasyTone Step episodes). The episodes can be amongst the most effective and enjoyable ways to improve your fitness level. But don’t take our word for it - perform them at regular intervals, record the result of you fitness test in weeks 1, 6, 11 and 16 and prove it to yourself.

METHODOLGYThe programme allows you to modify the choreography if you want to and, in doing so, you’re able to adapt the workout to suit the varying needs of your participants and utilise the teaching skills learnt during your Exercise to Music, Gym or Personal Training qualification.

This approach lies in stark contrast to traditional pre-choreography which insists you just follow the notes, video or “script”. The choice is yours: teach any EasyTone Step routine move-for-move as it appears in the video or change it to suit your own personal style or the level of your class. It’s up to you.

LICENCE FREEOnce you’ve successfully completed the instructor certification course, you’re free to teach the programme wherever and whenever you like.

Unlike other programmes, your income is not limited by the number of licenced clubs in your area. We don’t tie you in or your clubs into an expensive licence agreement.

40

CONTINUOUS MIXEach episode features a continuous mix workout - the music doesn’t stop and

neither do we. It’s designed to keep the class fluid and the energy high, and to target cardiovascular system to bring about maximum fitness gains.

By working hard in each track and reducing the rest period between them, the workout can move you into the higher realms of aerobic training.
