Pulley
Pulley is a high/low strength exercise pulley machine that combines speed, power and functional mobility through any range of motion with accommodating inertial resistance at any speed, just like sports. The Pulley was designed to enhance sport movement and athletic performance.

One can perform a vast array of exercises across the force-velocity spectrum ranging from high force and low velocity to high velocity and low force. World-class athletes at Mark Verstegen's Athletes' Performance Training Centers in Tempe, AZ and Carson, CA. Verstegen is Director of Performance for the NFL Players' Association. He and his staff work with top athletes competing at the highest levels in football, basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey, and many other sports.

Noted speaker and regular NSCA columnist Juan Carlos Santana uses the VersaPulley with his athletes and clients at the Institute of Human Performance in Boca Raton, FL. Additionally, other top professionals such as Mark Roozen in Fort Worth, TX are using the Pulley.

Testimonials
"Pulley is the most versatile and most practical technology ever developed. It gives us the ability to provide our athletes with closed chain, multi-plane, multi-joint exercises with progressive force and range of motion......the Pulley allows coaches to prescribe a wide variety of training activities to meet performance goals by being able to manipulate all planes of motion, at various loads from 4 to 400 pounds and at speeds limited only by the athlete's power capability."
Mark Verstegen MS, C.S.C.S.

Explosive Power Movements Critical Deceleration Sport Specific Training Multi-Plane Power Movements Pulley provides smooth, non-traumic, "response" resistance. Lateral speed lunging targets hips and enhances cutting ability. The ultimate high-low pulley speed and strength machine; perform 100's of power driven strength routines."The Pulley offers whole new dimension to functional training. The ability to use its compliant speeds and forces, at any range of motion, makes it the ideal piece for my facility and more importantly--my athletes."

Who is studying the Pulley?
Dr. Mathew Rhea and colleagues at the Firefighter Research Organization based out of Phoenix, AZ which collaborates with top scientists at several universities will be examining the Pulley as an occupational modality for firefighters. This research is being done to help the International Fire Chief's and International Firefighters' Association determine which equipment companies make the most effective and economical modalities to aid the lifesaving occupational tasks performed by firefighters.

Dr. Julio Tous, a sport/exercise physiologist in Barcelona Spain, recently received two mini-Pulleys. Tous teaches at Ramon Llull University and is a performance specialist with the FC Barcelona soccer team. Soccer is the world's most popular sport. The FC Barcelona team competes in a stadium that seats 100,000 spectators and is equivalent to major professional sports franchises in the U.S. Dr. Tous will provide feedback on the mini-Pulley.
