The FLEXVIT Story Fitness and athletic workouts have changed a lot over the past few years. New research has led to new workouts and new ways to exercise, which were introduced to the general public in part through the German soccer national team at the 2006 Soccer World Cup. Since then, those developments have been adapted for almost every sport. The new knowledge has also led to the principle of exercising groups of muscles and movements rather than focusing on isolated muscles exercises. The result is a trend to use more of your own body weight instead of machines and dead weights, and/or mobile tools that support stabilizing, functional and multidirectional exercises. Stretchable bands are a perfect example for such tools that can provide multiple benefits. They are light, their packing volume is small, which makes them easy to transport, and they are multifunctional. Everybody can use them for all aspects of fitness for the young or old, for rehab or for pro-athletes, for muscle strengthening or body fat reduction. As experienced coaches and trainers, we were not happy with the existing bands on the market, which are mostly made out of pure rubber. We experienced several deficits concerning the material, product properties and the pricing of those products. Our experiences were inline with the experiences of other colleagues and consumers. Our athletic and professional background has allowed us to develop a new approach, one that can be described as revolutionary in this field. FLEXVIT bands distinguish themselves through their practical design and material. The seal Designed, Developed and Made in Germany stands for a locally produced high quality product. The patented production technology makes this skin-friendly, attractive material also very robust and durable. Its creative design increases its applicability, and by being washable, it changes the standard for hygiene and allergy-risk. Depending on the type of band mini, multi, resist and on the selected workout, one can train every type of physiological aspect (strength, endurance, quickness, mobility and coordination). The options are limitless. One can compose a great variety of exercise programs for therapy, health, fitness, stress reduction, and competitive sports. After months of designing, testing, and evaluating feedback from various athletic trainers and physiotherapists that work in the fields of competitive sports, fitness and rehabilitation, we are proud to be able to present the FLEXVIT-Collection.

5 MINI The FLEXVIT Mini offers the whole range of common applications ( loops ) for exercising bands. What separate it from other brands are the newly developed qualities of the material, including the improved haptic, tear, outstanding robustness, and ability to wash it. With the help of the FLEXVIT Mini you can especially strengthen smaller muscle groups that are very important for the whole body structure. This is key to minimizing the risk of injury and supporting lasting performance development in any sport. More on page 8. MULTI The FLEXVIT Multi allows for the re-training of functional movements by strengthening muscle chains and by improving motor coordination. At the same time, the workouts are very easy on the joints. The bands hardly take any storage space, they are washable and can be used anywhere. The stretch-ability of the FLEXVIT allows for the full range of motion for all extremities. Several loops increase the workout options and make the exercises adjustable to any body length. The FLEXVIT Multi also distinguishes itself, like all our bands, through its feel and the great colors. More on page 10. RESIST The FLEXVIT Resist model offers high quality for a very low price. This makes it a great deal and is affordable even for a smaller budget. The material from a patented production technology is very stretchable, but also robust and tear-resistant at the same time. The softness is unique and makes it very comfortable even during hard workouts. Two flexible hook and loop fasteners make the handling very easy and allow a fixation around the hips without pinching the skin. The FLEXVIT Resist bands are often used to improve acceleration, quickness, and the ability to sprint. They live up to the highest demands of pro-athletes, but at the same time are suitable for the usage on any level. More on page 12.

14 15 STATEMENTS We specifically choose our business partners to be able to serve our own high standards in workshops. Therefore quality and practicability take on an important role for us. That is why we are happy to have found our great partner FLXFIT, who is able to enrich our workshops with premium products Made in Germany. These new bands also find our customer s great approval. Matthias Keller, head OS Institut Munich, Germany Motion for Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, Schmidtlein & Keller GbR Without any exception, we only receive positive feedback from the athletes. The bands stay where you want them and they do not roll up. At the moment, we have the goal to destroy one of them so far without any success. Jonathan Januschke, athletes trainer, P.A.R. Centrum Munich, Germany Almost every day we use any type of FLEXFIT bands. They are soft on the skin, more sweat resistant and they do not stick together like traditional latex bands. Our clients gain confidence by training with the FLEXFIT bands, because they are no longer afraid of getting hurt by a ripping band. On full tension the Resist-bands only narrow a little, without cutting into the skin. They can even be put together, if you need a longer band. Afterwards they are easily loosened without any knots. Otmar Rösch, rehab and athletic coach, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim (1st German Soccer League) During the last couple of days, we tested the band with several athletes and coaches. We think, it is an amazing tool with a wide and flexible range of possible applications. Dr. Axel Schürer, Institute for Applied Training Science (IAT) Leipzig, Germany / Department of Endurance Sports, Supervisor of the Cross-Country Skiing National Team Our player Ria, a member of the New Zealand national team, was injured for four weeks. She recovered through training with the FLEXFIT Mini bands. She liked them very much she even wanted to keep them right away. Oli Heck, athletic coach, Science City Jena, Germany (2. Basketball League)/Planet of Motion Jena, Germany In rehab therapy as well as in severe departments of the clinic, the FLEXFIT Mini and Multi bands are the right equipment. Since FLEXFIT offers six different tensions to choose from, our patients get the chance to train with the perfect band for their specific needs. In comparison to the traditional powdered latex bands, our patients like the great haptic feeling of the textile covered rubber. Another great advantage is that they can be washed up to 60 C. We can also disinfect the bands, so we can grant the high standards of hygiene in the medical sector. This makes the FLEXFIT bands a great tool for therapy with early rehabilitation and isolation patients.
