Several well known highly paid sprint coaches including Jonas Dodoo (UK, London), Nabie Fofanah (USA, Los Angeles), Michael Ray Garvin (USA, Katy), Lee Taft (USA, Greenwood) and Kerry Bennet (USA, Beaumont) are using the systems in their workouts to increase the running speed of their athletic clients. They present themselves on the Coach Blog and in the Exer-Genie Academy by offering training workshops and online coaching. Most of them use the little cylinder with the long line as sled or parachute replacement to generate horizontal resistance. A growing number of athletes among them Olympian champion Kikkan Randall are recognizing its roots and most efficient field of application: Being a little machine that is light and small enough to stay with you everywhere you go to give your body the safe high-intensity stimuli it needs to function reliable, smooth and free of pain.
The Exer-Genie (weighing about 14oz or about 400 gr) is the unit that gives variable resistance up to 600 lb (which is unbeatable for strongman using the system for truckpull-preparation and other exercises). It does this by wrapping a special woven rope around a high-quality chromed metal shaft with a “twist of the wrist” inside a heat resistant protective cylinder. Muscles need tension to learn and remember why they exist. They simply do not care if the source of this tension is gravity generated weight or friction.
Team America Health & Fitness, Inc. – a Thousand Oaks based company lead by Jim Warren – is responsible for the high quality of production and service. Basic Education and Training is provided in the Exer-Genie Academy though the usage options grow infinitely with the users understanding of his own anatomy and energy systems. Therefore the Academy only points in the direction to go. It’s not a step-by-step program to follow with the brain turned off. The Academy encourages its free and paid members to comprehend and appreciate themselves more each day and adapt the usage of the system accordingly to their own needs, may those be speed & sprint in track & field, football or maintaining health being free of pain.
The insider-secret has a rich history and countless options to be used. Sprint and speed enhancement using the system combined with a long line are a part of it. Jim Warren, personally coaching athletes on the Exer-Genie in the Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks, however sees its biggest advantages in the simple but regular integration in a daily health care routine: “The training with the Exer-Genie is independent of age (some users are in their late 80s for a reason), place and time (that is why it was used in some Apollo flights): You just need the classic system with the short line, very little space and 10-20 minutes (depending on your goals) every other day. My secret to speed & longevity: A simple efficient regular workout routine.”
