Stroops has agreed a deal with Physical Company for the rights to distribute its patented Slastix resistance band products in the UK.

Slastix are multi-purpose elastic exercise bands that add resistance to natural, athletic movements in the full range of motion. The system is built around the demanding training regimes of professional sports, and is used by top athletes and sports teams. Stroops programming teaches elite coaches and trainers how to use the resistance bands and attachments to identify weaknesses or imbalances in an athlete’s movements. By adding the right forces while performing sport-specific exercises, a trainer can find areas that need to be strengthened to prevent injury and improve performance.  

But it’s not just for elite athletes; the portability of the resistance band system means it can be used for bootcamps as well as gym-based PT and group training, adding bodyweight resistance into circuit class exercises and providing a wide range of options for partner work.
