Virgin Active S.A gets the Jordan experience
Jordan Fitness has reinforced its relationship with Cape Town based Fluidity Wellness by providing functional freeweight equipment and education to Virgin Active, the largest multi site operator in South Africa boasting some 92 clubs.
Virgin has already introduced hundreds of the Jordan Powerbags and other smaller studio items and this is being followed up shortly by well over 1000 Kettlebells. Furthermore, the Jordan Training Academy has just touched down after running a week of intensive education covering a number of courses including Bodyweight Suspension, BOSU, Kettlebell and Powerbag ensuring that Fluidity and Virgin get the most from the equipment.
Andrew Rothschild CEO at Fluidity commented “Working with Jordan has been great for us and our customers. Having a partner that holds good stock levels and is able to respond to our commercial needs at the right time and price is essential for us. We also loved the idea of the Training Academy” Rothschild continued “this completed the cycle for us, not only could we provide good quality equipment but we told our customers how to use it correctly and the feedback has been great.”
Zak Pitt, Jordan’s Sales Manager admitted “Fluidity and Virgin are excellent customers and great to work with, fulfilling large quantities in a short space of time can be tough but we have solid systems in place that allow us to ship in good time. We are certainly looking forward to working with Fluidity in the future.”

Bodyweight Suspension - Gadget or Secret Weapon?
This month the UK’s leading football publication FourFourTwo magazine (www.fourfourtwo.magazine.co.uk) features Jordan’s bodyweight suspension trainer FitKit Pro and brands it as Manchester United’s “Secret Weapon”!
Meanwhile last month, “single strap” bodyweight suspension achieved a new status by being voted as the best HOME FITNESS GADGET on Channel Five’s gadget show. Great news?
The FitKit Pro is huge in performance sport and as the Head of Sports Science at Manchester United, Tony Strudwick sums it up with “It’s not just about the product, it’s about the people behind the product and the people at Fitkitpro® are the best in their field.”
The success of the FitKit Pro is simply because it is the most practical piece of equipment of its kind, it’s been seriously designed to get results, it’s most definitely not a gadget and how can you disagree with one of the most successful sports clubs in history!
Jordan Fitness joins forces with the FitKit Pro®
Jordan Fitness are proud to announce that they are now the exclusive global distributor for the FitKitpro within the fitness industry. Jordan have forged this relationship due to their presence and reputation within the industry for commercial quality functional fitness equipment. This system is used extensively by fitness professionals within the sports fields of football, rugby and elite athletes at the highest professional levels.
"It's not just about the product, it's about the people behind the product and the people at Fitkitpro are the best in their field." - Tony Strudwick, Head of Sports Science at Manchester United FC.
The FITKIT Pro® Suspended Bodyweight Training System is a simple piece of equipment that delivers a broad range of exercises suitable for everybody. This training method links together components such as balance, flexibility and whole body stability in a time, space and cost effective way.
Suspended bodyweight training is becoming extremely popular but there are different variations on the market. The Fitkitpro is a two strap system with two fixed points, as opposed to one with other similar products, which ensures correct biomechanics in all exercises as well as ensuring maximum safety. There is also a much larger range of exercises available with the two strap system.
The FitKitpro featured on the Jordan Fitness stand at the recent LIW exhibition. The whole FitKitpro team was in attendance and the demonstrations drew a lot of interest.
We were also really pleased to welcome Jason Robinson (ex England Rugy Union and Great Britain Rugby League star) to our stand who was there to support the team and to offer demonstrations of this equipment.
Jordan Training Academy runs a CPD training course on Bodyweight Suspension training with our Fitkitpro Instructor course. Details can be found on www.jordanfitness.co.uk
Price of the Fitkitpro is £127.23 + vat (excluding delivery).

Aaron’s story is quite amazing. Having only recently taken up the sport competitively Aaron managed to finish last year ranked No 2 under 15 boy in the UK over 400m with a best time of 50.1. This in only his second race over this distance and his first year in this age group.
This achievement is all the more remarkable as Aaron was diagnosed with diabetes just a few months before he began the sport.

We at Jordan Fitness wish Aaron continued success and hope that we can assist him in any way we can.
