Podium 4 Sport now exclusive distributor of Jacobs Ladder products in UK and Ireland

Podium 4 Sport is delighted to announce that it is now the exclusive distributor for the full range of Jacobs Ladder products within the UK and Ireland.

Jacobs Ladder is installed in minutes, self-powered and simple to use. It is considered by those who use it to be one of, if not, the best aerobic/anaerobic machines available on the market today. It is also self-paced, which means that the faster you go, the faster it goes. Similarly, the slower you go, the slower it goes. It is used in a wide variety of market sectors, such as the army and police forces, universities, CrossFit gyms, personal training studios and commercial leisure facilities. Jacobs Ladder was designed with physiological benefits in mind, such as increasing heart rate quickly. It also offers a natural climbing position which reduces stress on the back and hips, it has a very low impact on the joints, and the long and dynamic climbing stroke ensures a full range of motion.

The commercial product range includes Jacobs Ladder and the Stairway, which is a stair climbing machine designed for full commercial use.

Jacobs Ladder 2 is designed for home or light commercial use.

Register your interest in a trial of the Jacobs Ladder at www.podium4sport.com or call 02890 701444.
