News: Stationary Wheelchair Patients Can Now Strength Train Multiple Muscles
Many physical therapy patients are confined to a wheelchair, which previously impaired their ability to strength train their body so that they may develop more independence. However, there has been a recent breakthrough in wheelchair strength training, introduced by Vortex Fitness Equipment, the makers of a one-station, total-body functional training system. The wheelchair patient can now stay at one station, and with the multiple angles provided by Vortex, exercise multiple body parts. One cerebral palsy patient enjoys newfound freedom for both himself and his caregiver.

What's Coming: The Vortex Super Cells®
Supercell: n. A powerful thunderstorm, usually separated from other storms, that exhibits persistent rotation. Supercells commonly produce large hail, high winds and, sometimes, tornadoes.

The Super Cell project was initiated a few years ago and now is fully underway, with patents pending in the US and abroad. Once complete, it may even be considered an entirely new category of equipment.

What is this new concept? It is the world’s first and only expandable, customizable, interchangeable, functional, core, band, free-weight, body-weight, cable-based & selectorized, multi-station that grows and changes with you. No more bolting into the walls… it's free standing. No more confined spaces… it fits almost anywhere. No more budget concerns… buy what you can now, expand as you grow. No need to go elsewhere. Now we have it all. Welcome to the future of Fitness Training!

Create your own customized circuit system in minutes. Change it all around in a snap. Want band training? Want free weights? You’ve got it. Want body weight training? Rehab and therapy? High speed power training? Fuctional and core? MMA training? Youth training? Group or circuit training? It’s all there!

You can mix it up in minutes. Add something new by simply clipping it on. Adjust it by unclipping and simply re-clipping. It even comes with built-in storage areas for all attachments, bands and balls to save precious floor space.
What's Coming: The "Dream Team"
Bob Piane has assembled a research and design team that includes some of today's biggest names and most forward thinkers in their respective fields: Juan Carlos Santana (functional, core and band training guru, owner of The Institute of Human Performance), Phil Kaplan (personal training author, speaker, business owner, radio personality), and Brian Grasso (youth training specialist and director of the IYCA). This accomplished team has been collaborating with Bob and a slew of Doctoral level top trainers, therapists, sports trainers and researchers on his Super Cell fitness concept. Like super cells in nature it is designed to blow you away. The first in the SUPER CELL SERIES have arrived. Check out the new Patent Pending PERFECT STORM exclusively for personal trainers. Now group and one-on-one -training studios can be set up anywhere. And the Patent Pending Vortex NIMBUS, a unique movement-based youth fitness training circuit for kid fitness, ages 6-18, that accommodates up to 16 children, and takes up just 20'x30' of floor space...and doubles as an indoor boot camp fitness center for adults and kids!
What's Coming: ARCUS™ Multi-Station
Arcus: n. A low, horizontal cloud formation associated with the leading edge of thunderstorm outflow.

Later this year we plan to introduce the Arcus Multi-Station, a 360-degree cable-based functional movement training system that borrows its design from the current Vortex Training Circle's curved environment. This "Clip-n-Train"® system attaches to a SUPER CELL frame, creating another unique multi-station with endless possibilities. This new innovation has US and foreign patents pending.
What's Coming: X-ROLLER™
A band powered resistance system you just have to see, try, and change over to. More on that later in 2007.
More to Come
In addition, there are even more patent pending products in the works at Vortex, including new resistance systems, new attachments, even new types of cardio units along with computer interfaces that can track, record and analyze results. Projected roll-out for these innovations is 2007.
