The Halo Trainer was born out of a need for affordable selective stability core training. From the depths of sports rehabilitation, the HALO core integrated bodyweight training found it’s voice over the past few years to be a leading brand in the small equipment category. And now, with our partners at MERRITHEW, we are launching[…]
If you study the fitness industry as much as I do you will find that it re-invents itself frequently–well, actually it re-cycles itself. Funny that a research study by Japanese researchers would create a wake over a decade later, although typically morphed into something it was never meant to be. I’m pretty sure that I[…]

Many people found there way over to the Halo booth where we introduced them[…]
Let’s start with a story. I grew up like most boys, aspiring to be on the cover of Muscle & Fitness magazine. I always read the magazine from cover to cover. I learned how to raise a dumbbell and push a leg press and probably not too much more than that. To much disappointment, my[…]
I recall not very long ago that it was common and customary to spend over an hour at the athletic club working out. The old mantra of 3 sets of 10 with 30-45 seconds rest still seems to resonate in my memory banks. The rest time was even longer for power lifting. According to recent[…]
