Equipment Analysis: Why does it matter anyway...? PersonalTrainingdotcom 2020-05-26 | Most trainers and therapists dismiss equipment as either "nonfunctional", "bad", or "there's nothing to know about it... just sit down and shove". Others think they know everything about it. All of these individuals are severely mistaken! A wise person doesn't dismiss something until he/she knows virtually everything about it... realities, not biased sound bites! And the marketing literature and exercise myths aren't informative to the true expert! Understanding the variables and objective realities can give you a new vision of equipment... as well as how it should or shouldn't be used for a given individual.
