We profile two of the latest additions to the ViPR team; Danny Bartlett and Stephen Tongue.

On 9 and 10 September, the leading authority in the world of functional human movement, science and application – Gray Institute® – will be coming to town. Teaming up with FitPro, Gray Institute will bring its world-renowned Chain Reaction® seminar to the good folks of London.

Too often in our industry the fundamentals are pushed to the side. This is due to a focus on intensity for greater work capacity as we seek the most aggressive progressions for achieving quick results. Although intensity is needed and increases in work capacity lead to enhancing fitness levels, it can also lead to detrimental effects if not integrated into training programs as a component of overall enhancement. This approach creates depth within our training programs, leading to not only greater work capacities, but also fundamental ‘gains’ for the movement ability of the body, no matter what the fitness goal may be.

In May, our ViPR community came together when teams representing more than 65 nations descended upon Hong Kong and London to review brand new ViPR initiatives, innovative strategies and programming. The ViPR passion among the community was evident from the first hug in the hotel lobby through to the last ViPR drill, three days later. As distributors were led through the best business practices for delivering ViPR in 2017/18, our master trainers were immersed in learning the new education, which is now available.

ViPR™ has developed brand new functional training education to bring it in line with what PTs and health professionals are looking for in 2017. The education is shorter in duration to accommodate the need for condensed, impactful learning, it’s cost effective, and it’s also highly practical, allowing trainers to apply the knowledge immediately. The new education is based on the Loaded Movement Training (LMT) concept where ViPR sits as a global authority.
