Battle Rope Training


I've had loads of people asking me about Battle Rope training recently, having seen me training my clients using them and seeing my Rope and Tyre Bootcamp.

I was one of the first if not the first trainer on the Isle Of Wight to utilise this incredible training tool in virtually all of my client's programmes, and other trainers are beginning to recognise the incredible strength, conditioning and endurance gains that rope training stimulates.

Training with ropes is a totally unique form of training which offers the following advantages as well as many others;

  1. Increased Power & Strength
  2. Increased ability to sustain power and strength over longer periods
  3. An incredibly intense cardiovascular workout in minimal time
  4. Increased anaerobic and aerobic capacity                               
  5. Gives it own feedback - for example if power output in the underhand wave starts to drop the   waves along the rope no longer travels all the way to the anchor, thus providing feedback to the worker.
  6. Totally unique method of training that elevates motivation and adds variety to any programme; thus helping to develop 'complete' athletes.
  7. Superb method of retaining cardiovascular capacity during periods of lower limb rest or rehabilitation.
  8. Superb upper body and core conditioning stimulus.             
  9. A true functional exercise tool; encourages the body to work as one integral unit. 
  10. Can be used in the back yard - ideal for training at home.
  11. Improves grip strength; your body is only as strong as your grip!

So give them a go it is a lot of fun, come and try Rope and Tyre Bootcamp on Wednesdays 6:30pm, Northwood Park. Get in contact to book your place!
