WHAT IS SPRINGWORKS®?
SPRINGWORKS® is exercise utilizing the essence of the spring, namely swinging and bouncing, to perform movements at once challenging, fun and highly effective.
In SPRINGWORKS®, the body’s weight is supported by the springs, providing an unprecedented freedom of movement, where muscles and joints are simultaneously strengthened and stretched, from gently to vigorously, accommodating all levels of fitness.
The dangers usually associated with ‘bouncing’ do not occur, since the springs cushion the movements. (Consider the difference between jumping on concrete to bouncing on a trampoline, which incidentally was a major influence in the discovery of SPRINGWORKS®).
Where Pilates uses the springs for resistance, not unlike weight training machines, with SPRINGWORKS® the body works in tandem with the springs. The feel and effect of SPRINGWORKS® is entirely different from other exercising. The tension of pushing and pulling against resistance is replaced by a feeling of buoyancy and power. It puts spring into the body’s core.
