GENUINE FLEXI-BAR?

HOW TO FIND GENUINE FLEXI-BAR RETAILERS ON THE NET

Have you bought a GENUINE FLEXI-BAR®?
Considering buying a bar but not sure if it is an original FLEXI-BAR?

Training with the FLEXI-BAR® has become VERY popular over recent months.

So popular in fact that there are many cheaper variations of the FLEXI-BAR being produced. These bars go under the name of ENERGYM FLEXX, VIBRABLADE, FLEX BAR, FLEX MAXX, PRO FLEX BAR and many more.

Please read through our comprehensive guide on how to distinguish between original FLEXI-BARS and the others:

  • Quality of Design
  • Design Warranty
  • Expertise of Instruction
  • Support Network
  • Price

Quality of Design

FLEXI-BAR® is the gold star in design and function for all handheld vibrating products. All others try to replicate what FLEXI-BAR has achieved, but to varying degrees of success.

If you intend to buy a bar that vibrates, make no mistake, FLEXI-BAR® is your number 1 choice. FLEXI-BAR® has superior design specifications and comes with a 2 year design warranty. Instructions provided are extensive and the support network is more than you could ever need.

This is a German product, designed and manufactured in Germany. Germans are renowned for their ability to produce technologically superior products. They are leaders in precision engineering & design.

Specifically, the FLEXI-BAR®'s handle & end weights are made from pure foam; a high quality, long wearing hypoallergenic foam. You see this type of foam being used inside most good quality cars. Through a top secret heat process, the handle and end weights have been "embedded" into the shaft.

This means that even with excessive use, the end weights will never fly off and the handle will never come lose. This technique also ensures a smooth and specific vibrating frequency - which is essential to target the muscles of the core. Vibrating Frequency: 4.6..hertz.

Non-Genuine Products: If you are unsure about the quality of your product, check your manufacturer's website.

Can they provide information about where the product was manufactured? Are there any design specifications? ( what is the bar made from ?) At what frequency does your product vibrate ? How is it put together Screws ? Glue ?

You can imagine with anything that is constantly moving or vibrating, a very special technique has to be used to hold its pieces together, otherwise its parts could become easily dislodged - end weights could fly off, the handle could come unstuck and if screws are involved, they could potentially split the shaft.

Design Warranty

FLEXI-BAR®: all products in our range come with a 2 year quality and design warranty. This design warranty is unique to FLEXI-BAR®.

Expertise of Instruction

FLEXI-BAR®: DVD Presenter's Steve Schiemer and Rebecca Small bring a wealth of knowledge to each DVD Presentation. They are both leaders in their fields with over 20 years experience educating Fitness Instructors worldwide. Steve and Rebecca clearly know their profession and expertly guide you through each and every workout. All workouts are safe and come complete with a warm-up and cooldown. You can even buy downloadable workouts from the FLEXI-BAR® website.

FLEXI-SPORTS is the only company who educates Fitness Trainers and Personal Trainers to use FLEXI-BAR® on their clients. Introduction Training Plan DVD 1 is 43 mins long and is FREE with every purchase.

Non-genuine Products: When you are buying something new, regardless of what it is, the product is only as good as the quality of the instructions included. This is especially relevant with fitness products. How can you get fit, lose weight and tone up if you don't really know how to use the product you bought ? Ask yourself whether the instructions provided with your product provide adequate information on how to use it.

If it comes with a DVD, it needs to be at least 40 mins in length. This will allow for a balanced workout including technique explanation, warm-up, workout section and a cooldown. The DVD's instructor should be a qualified Fitness Trainer. Normally trainer's qualifications will be listed on the DVD credits or cover. Lookout for these.

Your instructor should give you clear concise instruction about each exercise, exactly what muscles its working and technique specific to that exercise. A good instructor will also motivate you and lead you seamlessly through each exercise, creating a flow that you can't get from poor quality instruction. An excellent instructor will also provide options for exercises ensuring the workout is suitable for a variety of abilities.

Support Network

The FLEXI-BAR®: support network is second to none. FLEXI-BAR® has had a significant market presence for 6 years now.

We have a resident phyiso on hand to answer any questions about injuries & training with the FLEXI-BAR®. Our website is extensive and covers everything you want to know about the product including research studies, courses, DVD's, accessories and downloadable material.

There is also a FLEXI-BAR® Forum which enables you to ask questions or give a review about the products.

Non-genuine Products: Other non-genuine vibrating bars do not have dedicated websites and cannot give you the same support. FLEXI-BAR® is unable to support purchasers of non-genuine products.

Price

FLEXI-BAR®: A considerable amount of effort has gone into developing the FLEXI-BAR®, ensuring it maintains a fine balance between its flexibility & its weight bearing capacity. This is no easy task, considering that it must consistently vibrate at 4.6.... htz, 270 times per minute.

Only the German's have precision engineering techniques that enable the end weights and handle to be embedded into each and every shaft.

This is a high end, top of the range, technologically advanced fitness tool that is backed by physiotherapists and product specific research.

Non Genuine product's price tags reflect their manufacturing process. As a general rule, if you find a FLEXI-BAR® on sale for less than 40.00 - it is not genuine! If you are in doubt, just give us a call at the office and we can tell you if the product you are considering is genuine or not.

The only retailer authorised to sell ORIGINAL FLEXI-BARS® at reduced prices is Ideal World TV.
