Craig Benham: “I got the Exer-Genie so I can work out of the blocks with resistance while sprinting. Today was the first time I got a chance to use it, and let me tell you, I love it. Great product! I highly recommend!”
Creus Hamilton: “I am a master athlete competing in the 40-44 yrs class. In 2016 I was ranked 4 in the world and 1 in the US masters 35-39 class @ 200mi was out for most of 2017 season. This year I am back and I am shooting for #1 this year. I have been looking for a product such as your so I am very excited to get my hands on it. I also a sprint coach and a fitness professional so I am loving the endless variety of exercises such a tool can provide.”
Bill Neville: “I’m going to purchase an Exer-Genie for my son who is a swimmer. I swam for Bama under Don Gambril. My mother bought one for us and I believe it helped me achieve a 15-18 national record in the 50 Free.”
Dave: “The Exer Genie is a fantastic device. I am in the UK and had never heard of the Exer-Genie until I stumbled across the website looking for Isokinetic training devices. I purchased the device in the summer (2015) and using a little differently as suggested, but that is the beauty of this device, it has so many uses it is literally only limited by the user’s imagination. I am training for strength [and size] and wanted to see how quickly I could increase strength, as opposed to weight lifting. I have used this item religiously six days per week for the last half year or so. In this time I have increased in strength at an incredible rate – and showing no signs of plateau as yet. I do however mix up the order and the exercise that I do per body part and the time under tension. I alternate days, one day I do upper body and the next day lower body. I do a 10-15 second isometric contraction and literally give it all that I have got, maximal effort. I then have the resistance dialled up as high as I am able to take it and do a long full effort single rep – which will take typically 30 seconds. This is unbelievably hard when set right and I do this 3 times for each exercise. A muscle at the end of this is finished: For example if doing a chest press or fly I am incapable of doing more than a couple of push ups afterwards. I do not hold the trailing line as the level of force that I am putting through is easier without doing so – for me personally. I take up to a 20 second break between sets in order to keep the heart rate escalated and this torches fat.
I have trained for years in the past, primarily in gyms, boxing club or military training (Navy). Nothing works like this device, and weights never can for the simple reason that even with a spotter you cannot train up to the level of muscle failure that you can with this device. Also, you can breakdown muscle tissue with just three sets and would take about 12 sets with weights. The muscles are sore the next day every single time, but after 48 hours with the right diet they are ready to be assaulted again, without fear of overtraining.
I am not young any more (not old either, but 39) and after 3 months of using this my wife pointed out to me that I am in the best shape of my life. To make comparable to somebody that is weight training [with iron] I have been eating carefully, very minimal alcohol and eating a very high protein diet. After using this device I will never go back to weight lifting as it just does not feel the same. I wish that I had have discovered many years ago!
As a footnote, I recommend people mix in exercises using single arms that force your body to work against rotation, such as one arm presses or rows – and flys, which are best done anchored under the door and lying on the floor. You will not need or want any sit ups after doing this as will develop a highly visible six pack in less time than any other method I have encountered.
Lee Taft: “I used the Exer-Genie with a 14 year old girl sprinter and the next morning with a 310 pound football players. It is amazing! They loved it as well. The smooth consistent resistant is so important for technical development of acceleration and sprint mechanics. I wish I had the Exer-Genie years ago. I have used parachutes, bands, sleds, and other harnessed resistant tools. None of them match the quality of run my athletes can get with the Exer-Genie. I can’t recommend it enough to every trainer, coach, and athlete. Thanks Jim for developing such a game changing product.”
ctgdevelopment@athlete.x : “I have been using them for several years now. I started with one…I now own three and may purchase some for my high school team as well. I think they are great tools, once you understand how to use them and what they can and cannot do. I like them because they maintain relatively constant tension versus with sleds you lose some as the speed gets higher. That isn’t a bad thing, but it is a different modality. Plus, this tool can be used from starting blocks. I like using the tool for “contrast” starts from blocks…one time in the harness, alternating with a “free” start. I feel there is a PAP effect. As with all concentric-oriented tools, the main benefit is in starts and early acceleration work. I give it a ????????.”
