Using the XPO Trainer 2 in Physical Therapy
The XPO Trainer® is the first of its kind in training devices to pair the traditional exercise sled with wheels allowing for a more versatile experience.
XPO Trainer® provides control and stability for Physical Therapy
The XPO Trainer® was originally designed by and for athletes chasing athletic performance. While it turned out to be a fantastic tool with application to both aerobic and anaerobic training, it was quickly discovered that it was uniquely useful for rehabilitation and physical therapy. The XPO Trainer® provides an exponentially higher resistance with changes in speed. So at the low speed of movement used during injury recovery or for those with disabilities, it provides an easy and safe way to add both stability and resistance.
If the user were to stumble or trip with a lightly loaded traditional sled, the chance for injury is increased due to the lack of response to speed. With the XPO Trainer® in the same situation, the resistance is immediately increased with speed and the user has a greater chance to recover balance safely. As rehabilitation progresses, the XPO Trainer® can be used at higher speeds and will continue to offer a training stimulus while still retaining the fantastic stability and safety due to the exponential resistance curve.
The newly designed XPO Trainer® features:
- Nearly silent operation.
- Removable handles for easy transport, portability, and storage.
- Safe for use on almost any surface, even indoors.
- Suitable for any level from rehab to training elite athletes.
- The first sled ever made that gets eXPOnentially harder to push the faster you go.
Hear what the doctors, physical therapy patients, and coaches who are using the XPO Trainer® have to say
"There is no coast on this sled. Every foot was a grind!" - James Free of Two-Seven Health and Wellness
“The XPO Trainer® is easy to use. You do not need to add weights to give more resistance. The harder you push, the harder it pushes back at you. So for people like me it is simple to use. But the best is that I can use it. The XPO Trainer® is very stable, so it gives me the support I need to be able to walk for exercise.” - John Myerson, Wellesley, MA
"I was excited to finally find a sled that had everything on my list - quiet, easy to transport and store, and versatile for anyone to use. I love that my younger daughter can push it, my parents can push it, and my college son and his friends can push it. And they all get an amazing workout without having to change a single thing." - Dr. Robert Strell
