ViPR^TM ("viper") was created to allow exercise to be more purposeful and free. This piece of equipment may look like a humble rubber tube, but ViPR^TM is an extremely effective training tool. ViPR^TM weights will be carried, dragged, thrown, rolled, stepped on and flipped in this innovative Specialty Training class. ViPR^TM provides its participants with a whole-body workout that, with hard work and dedication, produces results. Participants will build muscle and burn calories through strength and movement training. ViPR^TM is suitable for all ages and abilities, with weights ranging from 4 kg to 10 kg.
