⚡👇Athletes and sports teams, this ones for you! ⚡👇

Athletes work really hard to stay fit, active and healthy and for many, their job depends on it! Many athletes spend hours in their weeks training to be the best they can be.

The Balkan offers individual athletes and teams a way to stay fit, strong and healthy without the need for hours and days spent away from family and in the gym.

DM us to arrange a free trial session to discuss how The Balkan Strength Machine can be a great asset to your team's fitness goals.

We can generally only lift 50%-60% of our maximal eccentric movement in a standard gym. Therefore in any gym based movement (unless tailored) we will always struggle to lift to our capacity. Eccentric training has been seen as one of the most efficient ways to build maximal strength and so The Balkan offers an easier way to achieve these gains.

With just 1 x 15-30 minute session a week, we are able to see huge improvements in strength and muscle mass. The Balkan offers a wide range of exercises including but not restricted to;

🏋️‍♀️Leg Press
🏋️‍♀️ Chest Press
🏋️‍♀️Front Row
🏋️‍♀️Hamstring Curl
🏋️‍♀️Pull Down
🏋️‍♀️Shoulder Press
🏋️‍♀️ Bicep Curl
🏋️‍♀️ Tricep Extension
🏋️‍♀️ Ab Crunch

🔗 What is Eccentric Training?
Eccentric training, also known as the 'negative' or lengthening phase, occurs when your muscle lengthens under tension. It's the controlled descent in a squat, the lowering of a bicep curl, or the gentle release in a push-up. This often-overlooked phase is where the real magic happens!

💪 Elevate Your Strength Game
By focusing on the eccentric phase, you activate more muscle fibers and create micro-tears in the tissue, triggering a powerful muscle-building response. It's not just about lifting the weight – it's about lowering it with precision and control.

🔄 The Science Behind Eccentric Training
🔹 Muscle Damage: Controlled 'negative' movements induce micro-tears in muscle fibres, stimulating growth during the recovery process.
🔹 Strength Gains: Eccentric training enhances neuromuscular adaptations, leading to increased strength and power.
🔹 Injury Prevention: Mastering the eccentric phase improves joint stability, reducing the risk of injuries.

Benefits of Eccentric Training:
1️⃣ Accelerated Muscle Growth
2️⃣ Enhanced Strength and Power
3️⃣ Improved Muscle Control and Coordination
4️⃣ Injury Prevention and Joint Stability

🔥 Ignite your metabolism with the Balkan Strength Machine! 💪 Unleash the power within your muscles to torch calories even after the workout is done.

Are you looking for a strength training programme that'll reduce the time needed to work out but maximise your strength gains? Then we have the answer! Read on 👇

Did you know that strength training isn't just about building muscles? It's a metabolic game-changer that keeps the calorie-burning party going long after you leave the gym!

Power Up Your Metabolism: When you engage in strength training, you're not only sculpting your physique but also revving up your metabolic engine. Muscles demand more energy, even at rest, helping you torch those stubborn calories and boost your overall metabolic rate.

⏳ The Afterburn Effect: Ever heard of the "afterburn" or excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC)? It's like your metabolism throwing an after-party! After a solid strength workout, your body continues to burn calories to repair and replenish, ensuring you enjoy the benefits long after the sweat session ends.

💡 Why ? Because strength training sparks a metabolic fire within you! It's not just a workout; it's a commitment to sculpting your body and turning it into a calorie-burning furnace. Let those muscles glow, and watch your metabolism soar! 🔥

"I don't have time to work out"

1 in 4 working professional adults don't meet the global recommended physical activity levels, according to the WHO. They noted the biggest reasoning behind this was 'lack of time'. The Balkan is here to change this.

The Balkan uses variable resistance training to reinvent resistance and strength training. It is a resistance exercise technology providing a safe, controlled and trackable training programme to its users. It replaces traditional weight lifting and allows a higher quality and more well rounded strength training not possible in a normal gym setting.

One 30 minute training session a week can help:

1. Increased muscle mass and bone density
2. Reduced chance of injury from lifting near maximal capacity
3. Decreased time required for strength training
4. Maximal resistance in all movements, eccentric, concentric, and isometric.
5. Can lead to an improved body composition and enhances weight loss.

The Balkan can be done along side other training and cardio activities to give you the best results and a longer life.
