G-Trainer Pro - anti-gravity technology available in UK

After months of research Balance Performance Physiotherapy in London UK decided to get on board and bring the G-Trainer Pro unweighting treadmill to their London Sports Injury, Spinal Rehabilitation and Performance facility.

This blog has been started to follow the progress of the first G-Trainer available to the public in Europe as it is installed and put into service at one of the UK's most forward thinking facilities for the treatment, recovery, rehabilitation and performance training of elite and everyday athletes.

G-trainer in action

Thursday, 13 November 2008

Interest growing in our G-trainer.


The G-trainer has demanded the attention of everyone who has come to Balance over the last couple of weeks. The beast is impossible to ignore but once our clients have had a run on it they have seen the potential and the opportunity to do some serious training on the Alter-Gs unweighting treadmill. The team has worked out exactly where its strengths lay and cant wait to begin in earnest when we go completely live in the next 7-10 days.

Interval Training as it has never been possible before:


  • speed,
  • strength,
  • anaerobic conditioning
  • quality running drills
  • heightened volume at increasing speed or load was previously impossible.
  • body spared from the jarring and accumulative effects of impact.
  • EDT (escalating density training.) means increasing amount of work done in the same period of time.
Interval training is the most rapid method of achieving performance gains and the ability to tailor and optimize the interval profiles determines the ultimate limit of performance.



Interval Overload Training at Higher Running Speed

Control of body weight also provides a means for interval overload training (interval training) in which you achieve a fast speed while at reduced weight and then introduce body weight briefly to overload the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems.

Marathon training will be phenomenal on this treadmill. With your running performance improving week by week due to the increased effectiveness of interval training, quality pace and strength work and alternate long runs on the G-trainer to spare your joints from the trauma of long distance running the chances of overuse problems developing are greatly reduced. You do need some knowledge and support behind you to achieve your goals so Balance's highly experienced team is there with the skills in coaching, running analysis, injury prevention, strength and conditioning to make the G-trainer more than just a fancy toy. It is a highly effective training tool.
Sound confusing?
Difficult to believe?
