I visited LIW 2012 (Leisure Industry Week) at Birmingham NEC last week. It's the who's who of product services for the leisure and recreational businesses in the UK.
Everything from fast food, coffee, theme park design and exercise were catered for. A variety and demonstration of interesting lectures were also available.
Functional training workouts were big on the agenda with an emphasis on climbing, tri-plane movement, multi-directional and traditional eastern European training, both children and adults were catered for. Reebok stole the day with in your face choreography, bright colours, great marketing, DJ spinning and a variety of great climbing equipment for the new era of freestyle functional training which is now the fashion.
Gone are the days of static gym equipment, old fashioned one dimensional gym machines. In are back to basics training using the great outdoors and the body as a whole. I tried everything from walking in an air vacuum on a treadmill, to palm tree climbing, to fancy foot spinning and whirling machines.
STOTTPILATES also held very strongly with their amazing products and contemporary approach to mind body exercise and rehabilitation.
