Introducing the FKPro
 FKPro was created as a fully inclusive exercise apparatus, to meet the needs of everyone whatever gender, age or athletic ability.
Although the initial route to market was focussed on securing credibility and professional endorsement which required attaining the support of various governing bodies and high profile athletes and teams our ethos has always been to reach JOE and JOSEPHINE public.
We have been very fortunate (and also put in a lot of effort) to develop good working relationships with the likes of England Rugby - we work with mens womens under 20's and 7's squads. We also work closely with Tony Strudwick head of fitness at Manchester United, Jamie Ramsden at Glasgow Rangers, Bob Stewart at GLOUCESTER Rugby (head of medical services) England Athletics, GB rowing and the England Squash team to name a few.
Rather than just off loading kits we keep regular communication between these key individuals so that there is constant updating and feedback.
"There are so many fads and gimmicks that come and go in the fitness industry that we were determined to set out our stall from the outset, one based on integrity and functionality."
We make constant references to results and research because as a company we are made up of individuals who are sports based. The company is made up of professional coaches Denis Betts (Rugby league legend and current head coach of Widnes Vikings) Rob Harris elite sports physiotherapist who also works for Wigan Warriors, Jeff Ross who has worked for Sale Sharks and Manchester City as a physio.
Also myself and Peter Faulkner have provided fitness consultancy to a range of sporting disciplines / teams ie Bristol City FC, Bristol Rovers FC, Bristol Rugby, professional boxers etc.
Our vision
Is one of reaching the grassroots sportsperson and the home trainer first and foremost.
There are so many ways of getting fit and staying in shape to chose from that it can get very confusing and very expensive.
What FKPro encapsulates is an easy to use, functional and affordable training option that will benefit everyone from elite athlete to the complete exercise novice.
"You do not have to be an athlete or a sportsperson to use the FKPro."
It will compliment traditional training methods and fitness regimes by adding it to what you already do ie regular gym or road running sessions. Most running enthusiasts are intelligent enough to recognise the value of including some strength work to all the endurance work they do.
They understand the theory but in practise may find the added time commitments and financial costs involved in joining a gym both impractical and too expensive. The fact that FKPro offers a whole body workout - strengthening and stabilising the ankle, knee and hip joints and adding tone and power to the core and upper body makes it the ideal complimentary tool for runners and triathletes alike.
For the female trainer that hasn't got the time or inclination to go to a gym the home training option offered by FKPro is invaluable.
The fear of developing manly muscles that many women say is an obstacle for them in performing traditional resistance training ie weight training is eliminated when using FKPro because the loads used are bodyweight and the forces of gravity.
This is not to say that the user doesn't get stronger, more flexible more toned and less prone to injury because they will but to develop muscular bulk requires heavy external loads to be used.
The FKPro could be the perfect solution to the female keep fit enthusiast who wants to look and feel better without losing her feminine curves.
"The hips bums and tums can now all be toned safely and effectively in the comfort of your own home."
Modern lifestyles play havoc with our body shapes and postures. Driving, using laptops and most modern day gadgetry develops bad posture.
The FKPro represents the perfect corrective tool for resetting the body to sit, stand and function in the right way.
It works on the muscles of the rear shoulder, lower neck, upper and mid back to encourage a more erect and upright posture. (One that looks better but actually makes you function better!)
Many traditional exercise routines ignore the muscles at the back of the body but the FKPro has been designed to balance out our functional needs by targeting these undertrained areas.
At under £150 there are few exercise training options that offer such comprehensive and effective fitness benefits as those of the FKPro - your own portable personal gym.
