BIS Instructor "The
Power Poles have been a great addition to the Bannockburn Clubs
group exercise program. The workout options are endless: Adding
various equipment options you can get a great total body workout.
The Power Poles can be integrated into all types of classes.
The
Power Poles are also a great option for participants who may
not have the muscular strength or stability to perform the lunge
correctly. The Power Poles have helped many students gain the
confidence and strength to do so.
Our
members have enjoyed the variety of the different versions and
the intensity of the workout that can be done with the Power
Poles. The Power Pole Program has brought in many new members
to group exercise who may not have taken classes before. The
instructors enjoy using this product because of the variety and
the ability to teach to all levels of fitness. A great product
that everyone needs to try."

"Renee
Wright's Power Pole program is a great addition to anyone's fitness regimen.
The Power Poles are the foundation of a very effective and safe workout.
Renee combines upper and lower body strength training with cardiovascular
exercise, resulting in a very productive total body workout. The Poles
give the students an opportunity to do a variety of squats and lunge
exercises in a safe environment. Regularly changing her routine
and her enthusiasm keeps the program fun and entertaining. Consistently
full classes are a testament to the success of her program."

"I
have found the Power Poles to be an extremely versatile addition
to all of my class formats. Of course in muscle conditioning
classes the poles incorporate beautifully. They provide challenge
for the advanced participant while providing support for
those who are less conditioned, have special needs or injury
concerns. What I have found to be the most creative and fun use
of the poles has been in my dance step class. I have been able
to blend my dance inspired step choreography with athletic lunge
pole sequences to create an exciting and challenging mix. Overall
the Power Poles are an excellent addition to any group exercise
program and valuable tool for personal trainers as well."

Spot Trainer for The Wright Workout™ Power Pole Program
"The
Power Poles give my clients the confidence, and support to
perform exercises requiring kinesthetic awareness that may
otherwise be beyond their confidence level and/or ability.
Not only are the Power Poles useful in-group training, but
also they are useful in personal training. Many personal trainers
use the poles to teach their clients functional exercises such
as lunging.
I use the Power Poles everyday with my clients.
The majority
of my clients need something to give them not only support
but also the confidence do many functional exercises, such
as lunging. The poles enable my clients to progress safely
and quickly, whereas without the poles they might not feel
comfortable enough to try an exercise as challenging as a lunge."

"The
Wright Workout™ Power Pole Program has been a new and exciting
program for my clients. My female clients love the results
they have seen in the butt, hip, and thigh areas. My male
clients love how it targets all the muscles in the lower body.
I have used the Power Poles in many different classes such
as Strength/Tone, Boot Camp, and Total Body Workouts. Renee’s
videos have been an excellent tool in learning and creating
unique routines for classes. I have also had the opportunity
to use the Power Poles with individual clients, one-on-one
personal training.
Overall
the results have been weight loss, loss of inches, increased
endurance, increased strength, toning and firming, and increased
balance. Personally, my results have been all of the above
and that is why I am so passionate about sharing the Wright
Workout™ Power Pole Program because it truly works! As a fitness
competitor and marathon runner it has helped me reach amazing
fitness levels. Renee Wright has created a very professional
and effective workout program."

at the Golden Door, California "I
personally love the Power Pole class so much that I hope to add
more in the near future. The hour flew right by and we got a
great response from the guests, not only in numbers, but what
a fantastic over-all workout the Power Poles were able to provide.
The lunge series was well received, as most in attendance have
never been able to do them before or appreciate their benefits.
We also used the Total Body Workout Bag to full advantage.
The upper and lower body got a complete workout and it was FUN!
The Power Pole classes continue to go over VERY big at the Door.
We started offering them only on Wedensday, but word of mouth
gets around and we end up doing it again on Friday.
Bottom
Line: FUN!
Thanks again for a Fantastic Power Pole Training Seminar."

"Renee
came into our fitness and wellness-based resort and introduced
her exciting product, The Wright Workout™ Power
Poles. Within one day of arriving, her classes were packed
and participants continued to talk about the great workout
they had received. What I personally enjoyed about Renee was
her energy and willingness to chat with every guest about their
exercise goals and concerns. She never stopped! One can tell
that she truly loves this business.
As
a result of the week she was here, we are now offering “Power
Pole” classes regularly on our schedule and are proud to
be the first Caribbean Island to do so. Our resort instructors
are thrilled to have a new exciting product that gives participants
of all levels and ages, a fantastic total body workout!"

"What a great workout aid! I see such a difference in the posture
of the participants when using the poles to perform lower body
conditioning exercises. The Power Poles are great for those participants
with low-back problems it also makes you focus on keeping your
abs contracted and your ribcage lifted. The Power Pole workout
is not only for the intense fitness veteran who is looking for
a challenging lower body workout, but what a great aid for those
special populations who may not have the muscle stability to
safely perform most standing leg work.
As an instructor, I'm thrilled with the product. I can see many
ways to incorporate it into a class program. Now as a participant,
I thoroughly enjoyed the workout, never got bored. We went through
everything from ballet-type movements to Karate and boxing movements.
What I enjoyed the most was that I felt as though I was doing
Pilate's-type movements vertically, but having much more fun
with the added bonus of having music to move to and extra work
placed on stabilizing muscles for balancing."

”I attended the Power Pole workouts for the first time at
the Golden Door/California and loved the Power Pole classes. Not
only did I feel "it" working in the right places but
I never had so much fun while working out. Working out with the
poles helps with balance while lunging and reduces potential injury.
I now have a set of Power Poles along with the Total Body Workout
bag and all three videos. Its a great workout for the whole body.”

“What
a great workout for dancers and everyone who wants that long,
lean dancer look! Power Pole workouts compliment dance training
by developing core strength, maintaining flexibility, and improving
balance and coordination. All levels of dancers
can benefit from Power Pole workouts. As a professional
dancer and choreographer, I find the Power Poles extremely
helpful. Dancing
is stressful on the body, and many professional dancers experience
serious injuries during their career. The Power Poles
help minimize the stress caused by years of dancing because
they provide the support necessary to maintain ideal posture
while performing dance moves. The
Power Poles Power Pole workouts are a fun way to stay in shape
and maintain that long, lean dancer body!”

"My
days at the club are very special to me. For the past
three year's I have been part of a wonderful program called
the Wright Workout™. The main highlight of the program,
are the "Power
Poles". Thanks to this unbelievable invention, I
have been able to improve my workout and my endurance.
Due to bone
cancer as a child, I underwent many years of surgery leaving
my legs very weak. With great determination I now am working
out four to five days a week and my legs are much stronger
that I could ever have imagined. The "Power Poles" give
me the strength. The Wright Workout™ is fantastic and I look
forward to each and every one, of my classes."

"I have done step, slide, and strength training
but nothing gives me the total body workout as well as the "Power
Poles". The "Power Poles" is the one and only
workout I still feel the next day after class, it stretches
and tones my lower body like no other workout. I credit "Power
Poles" with tightening my abs, hips, thighs and butt.
It is a great total body-conditioning workout. The best workout
of all The Power Poles."

"I was 3 months pregnant when I began Renee
Wright's Power Pole Training classes. I had been working out regularly
for about a year and I wanted a workout that would help me maintain
my fitness level as long as possible. The "Power Poles" were
PERFECT! The Poles provided me with the stability I needed
as my baby weight increased and my center of gravity shifted.
The "Power Poles" allowed me to surpass my initial
fitness level even though my pregnancy was limiting my agility
and balance. I worked out with the "Power Poles" three
days before I delivered an 8 1/2-lb. baby girl -- two weeks
past my due date!
Jody

Highland Park, IL
"I am a woman in her mid 40's who for
many years has had a high pressure job sat behind a desk,
worked out very infrequently with an hour glass figure. Consciously
using the program has produced dramatic results; not only
to reshape my body image but also to increase my energy level
to better handle life's daily pressures.
Working with the "Power
Poles" has
helped me to improve my core balance as well as strengthen
my muscle tone through various lunging techniques, thus slimming
down my lower body and improving my overall body posture.
In fact, I am very proud that I have gone down from a clothing
size 12 to a size 8 and still can enjoy my hot fudge sundaes!
I don't think I could have been as successful if The Wright
Workout™ wasn't upbeat, high energy, hard work and a lot
of FUN! I'm glad it is, and thank you, Renee!"
Maureen P.
Highland Park, IL
"When I began the Wright Workout™ Power Pole program
it was just a lot of fun. I’d feel good about myself
and enjoy the company of the others in the group while having
great time. Then I became pregnant and unlike before with
my previous pregnancies, I was able to work out the entire
pregnancy because of the Power Poles. Renee was very careful
as to not let me do anything that would be harmful to my
baby or me. While being pregnant my balance became off with
the extra weight gain, the Power Poles were very helpful
in maintaining good posture and balance!
Thanks to the Power
Poles my delivery was a breeze! In fact one of the nurses
suggested that I be a Poster person for the hospital. It’s
just been six months since my baby was born and I’m
back in my jeans and I’ve lost 30 lbs.
Thanks to Renee
and the Power Pole Program."
