I hate my gym. There I said it, or wrote it: I hate going to the gym, where I pay a monthly fee to wait to use equipment, deal with surly staff and fellow members who have little courtesy or respect for people who also want to exercise. Thankfully, I have found an alternative to this problem with Flextrain.net.

I love this product. Why? Because I have used weighted vests — and the results are amazing. Talk about burning calories and sweating! (If you want to see these products in action, watch some of the videos posted on the Flextrain.net website. These videos demonstrate the effectiveness of the brand and the many ways people can use these vests to intensify almost any workout.

Here’s what I like and plan to buy: the FlexWear Pro Vest, which combines resistance bands and attachments for a variety of cross training exercises. The Pro Vest is versatile, portable and intelligently priced. (The latter is a bonus worth celebrating, considering how overpriced some pieces of far inferior exercise equipment can be.)

As a runner and biker, the Pro Vest appeals to my natural love of “getting out there” and enjoying a day in the sun — free of the dreaded gym and other distractions. Another thing: Flextrain.net wants to empower individuals of all ages and interests - from teens to seniors - so good health can be a universal benefit. This principle also applies to people with physical disabilities who may not have access to a gym or personal trainer. The very fact that Flextrain.net recognizes this phenomenon - that every person is sacred and worth helping - is cause for celebration. My friend’s sister has a disability, so I know how difficult it can be to combine fitness and convenience. And yet, Flextrain.net does just that — the company makes products worth buying.

Go to Flextrain.net and take a look at the FlexWear Pro Vest. Good stuff!
