Virtual Reality isn’t the Future of exercise…yet..but until then…..

Virtual Reality isn't the Future Driven Fit

Working out at Driven Fit + SWS Tampa TrainingVirtual Reality isn’t the future of exercise…yet…but until then, there’s the Keiser Functional Trainer.

When we found our new space, renovated it, and then had the opportunity to fill it with equipment, we knew it had to include one of these.

While cable machines with movable arms are a gym staple, this one is different in one key way: it has no stacked weights.

Instead of cables attached to variable-weight plates, resisted by gravity, the cable is attached to a tower where resistance is moderated using pneumatic air pressure.

This is a noteworthy improvement over traditional weights governed by gravity because the movement is very smooth, resistance is constant, and the shock load on joints and connective tissue is significantly lower.

From the user’s perspective…it just feels better. It’s smoother, less “bouncy,” and can be instantly made harder or easier with plus/minus buttons to control the air pressure. OH! And it counts reps too!! That is a handy feature which frankly we wonder why hasn’t come sooner.

The Keiser Functional Trainer is the evolution of a piece of equipment trainers and clients use everyday, and we love its modern, thoughtful features.

I am writing this testimonial with immense gratitude and excitement about the incredible journey I've had with your Run coaching programs, particularly under the guidance of Luis, my run adaptive coach.

Before joining, I was a runner with aspirations of improvement but unsure of where to begin. Luis’s coaching not only provided a structured plan but also instilled confidence in me from day one. 

The personalized approach, tailored to my fitness level and goals, made all the difference.

One of the key benefits I've experienced is the significant improvement in my running technique. 

Luis’s attention to my run programming has not only prevented injuries but has also made my runs more efficient and enjoyable. 

The gradual progression in training ensured that I never felt overwhelmed, and each milestone achieved boosted my motivation.

The mental toughness training incorporated into the program has been transformative. Luis's guidance has not only helped me overcome mental barriers during runs but has also positively impacted various aspects of my life. 

I’m Looking forward to my next few blocks of run coaching leading up to my next marathon in Berlin where I will be looking to reach a sub 4hr marathon ????????

The approach of sending workouts directly to my watch and the personalized support provided has been a game-changer in achieving my personal best at the half marathon distance.

The convenience of having my workouts seamlessly integrated with my watch has transformed the way I approach training. It's not just about the ease of access; it's the strategic planning and adaptability that make your coaching methods stand out. Each run felt purposeful, and the progression was noticeable from week to week.

What truly sets your coaching apart is the unwavering support I received. The encouragement, insights, and personalized feedback have been instrumental in my success. It's more than just a training plan; it's a collaborative journey where my goals are embraced and pursued with dedication.

I recently achieved a personal best at the half marathon, and I credit this accomplishment to the meticulous coaching and guidance I received. The precision in pacing, strategic advice on race-day tactics, and the mental resilience training have elevated my performance beyond my expectations.

Thank you, luis and the entire run adaptive team, for the commitment, expertise, and continuous support. Your coaching methods have not only improved my running but have also enriched my overall perspective on fitness and well-being.
