The Watt Bike
If the great British summer isn’t all we’d hoped for, there’s nothing quite as close to the real thing as a Watt Bike.
You can see your power output on the screen and measure yourself against previous bests and an international community of Watt Bike enthusiasts!
Kettlebells
Originally used by Russian athletes to improve their strength, mobility and power, swinging a kettlebell might look a little odd, but it engages large muscle groups – especially in your backside!
It will improve your posture as well as being a great workout for anyone with a fitness, strength, or weight loss goal.
TRX
This was developed by the Navy Seals looking for a way to train with a small piece of kit in such a way that body weight movements in all three planes could be easily executed.
It allows you to achieve a full body workout for strength, power and endurance.
ViPR
The ViPR (which stands for Vitality, Performance and Reconditioning) is essentially a rubber tube with handles at various positions and serves to lengthen and load your levers to add a new dimension to your training.
Known as loaded movement training, the ViPR will add some serious intensity to your tri-planar movement sessions.

MyFitnessPal app
This is an increasingly popular app that you can manage your food intake, calorie expenditure, and lifestyle on.
Just by recording the foods that you eat, (via a clever barcode reader) it will mean that you often think twice about buying that naughty slice of cake!
