Trainers Reveal Favorite Fitness Equipment and Reap Savings

Carpinteria, CA – June 1, 2006 – For the last several months, YourCouponClub.com has been conducting online polls of fitness professionals as to their fitness equipment preferences. The latest in the series of biweekly surveys asked the following question: “What is your favorite tool to increase the functional aspect of training?” Although a holistic approach to fitness training is generally best, it is necessary to utilize functional or sport-specific training when focusing on the development of those attributes most needed by athletes in their respective fields. Nearly half (43%) of those fitness professionals sampled were inclined to utilize stability balls in their functional training – perhaps because there is almost no other training tool (besides free weights) that can be used for such a variety of functions. Most of the other trainers surveyed split their votes between medicine balls (29%) and rubber tubing (23%), with the remaining 1% opting for various pulley systems.

YourCouponClub provides their professional members with access to thousands of dollars worth of savings on fitness industry products, including fitness equipment. “Because we are dedicated to helping trainers get the best deals on the best equipment,” says Sam Hirschberg, Managing Director of YourCouponClub.com, “we are looking to trainers for their input on what they consider to be the best equipment.” This month, over $21,000 worth of value is available to fitness trainers for a small monthly fee. “We’ve also just added another five categories,” says Hirschberg, “which come to over fifteen thousand dollars in equipment coupons.” The new categories include cardio machines from Fitnex and such Bodymaster equipment as multi-stations, functional training and premier series equipment, and racks and stands.

In the future, YourCouponClub plans to poll personal trainers on their preferences in several different categories, including weight-training equipment, cardiovascular equipment, supplements, and fitness education.
