Media Release
Date: Thursday 8th October 2009

Bodywall, a New Zealand designed and manufactured health and fitness system is set to transform the way people look after themselves according to enthusiasts who have trialled the system. The first of a planned series of Bodywall centres has opened its doors in Mt Eden, Auckland, with plans to roll out an extensive network of franchise operated studios across both the North and South Islands. Bodywall franchises are only available to qualified personal trainers or physiotherapists.

‘Bodywall will redefine the health and fitness experience in New Zealand,’ says Bodywall founder and Managing Director, Chris Toal. ‘It is one of the most versatile and easy to use systems around meaning that it can cater to a wide variety of different fitness levels and needs. It has also proved its worth as a rehabilitative tool, helping everyone from burns victims to professional rugby players wanting to rebuild strength in an injured leg.

‘As well as being highly effective, Bodywall is also fun. It’s like a giant play gym for adults,’ adds Chris. ‘We recognise that most New Zealanders perceive exercise as a chore and would make more of an effort to do it if it was an enjoyable experience. An added bonus is that two people can use the wall at a time so you can share your workouts with a friend.’

Each Bodywall studio includes a large textured wall where all of the 30-60 minute sessions with either a personal trainer or physiotherapist take place. Whoever is working on the wall wears high-adhesion, rapid release gloves and shoes that were developed by Massey University’s Industrial Design Department and 3M New Zealand. Using the wall and force supplied by your own muscles Bodywall provides a low impact, high intensity workout, working on your limbs and core at the same time.

A variety of attachments have been designed specifically for the wall so that virtually any health or fitness need can be catered to by personal trainers or physiotherapists. This includes sports training with special adaptors for reproducing exact actions and loads for sports as diverse as rugby, cricket, tennis, golf, hockey, netball, skiing, boxing, kickboxing, weightlifting and many more.
All training sessions are with a qualified personal trainer or physiotherapist who works alongside clients to set and achieve their training goals.
