new “spring” beam

smallcrossection.jpgCoaches are raving about the new spring beam the same way they raved about spring floors when they were introduced.

It’s been approved for Jr. Olympic age group competition in the USA.

Gym Trix
A Completely Revolutionary Balance Beam!

Gym-Trix Inc. has recently received patent approval for our NEW spring loaded balance beam. The combination of internal steel springs and a completely movable top create a “Spring Floor” action for the entire working surface of the beam.

From talking to the creator of this product, I think he stressed to me that this beam won’t help elements go higher, but it lessens the stress girls receive from the landings.

My partner Wally and I did create this revolutionary Spring Beam with the springs right inside the beams core (not between the leg and the beam top like others who claim to have a spring beam) making this beam a patented and truly unique product.

You see, when an athlete lands on the beam the force and impact of the landings are felt in the athlete’s body parts, feet, ankles, knees and/or low back. Many many repetitions of elments slowly create stress on the body parts absorbing the impact. With our beam the impact is absorbed “mostly” by the beams unique engineering and not the athlete’s body! Thus we have ….

THE SAFEST BALANCE BEAM IN THE WORLD!!
