FitterFirst Pro Fitter Physio Kit

The Fitterfirst Pro Fitter Physio Kit is a professional three-dimensional balance, rehabilitation and functional training system. It uses adjustable resistance, lateral movement, a rocking base and moving footpads to challenge strength, balance, coordination and controlled weight transfer.

The current PFK2 kit includes the Pro Fitter 3D Cross Trainer, Soft Ankle Board, Hard Ankle Board, a pair of 51-inch Balance Aids and a laminated exercise chart.

No. The current Fitterfirst product listing does not include an instructional DVD. It includes a laminated exercise chart. Older descriptions that mention a DVD refer to a previous version of the kit.

The Physio Kit adds the Hard Ankle Board and a pair of 51-inch Balance Aids to the Pro Fitter and Soft Ankle Board. These accessories provide additional support and progression options for clinical rehabilitation and users with limited balance confidence.

Yes. Physiotherapists and other qualified rehabilitation professionals can incorporate the Pro Fitter into individualized programs for balance, proprioception, controlled weight transfer, strength, coordination and functional movement. The exercises and resistance must match the patient’s condition, precautions and stage of recovery.

It may be incorporated into a professionally supervised ACL rehabilitation program when permitted by the surgeon or treating clinician. Fitterfirst provides a historical progressive ACL rehabilitation resource, but the exercises must be adapted to the individual patient and current post-operative protocol.

The Pro Fitter can challenge ankle control, knee stability, lower-extremity coordination and proprioception. The Hard Ankle Board, Soft Ankle Board and Balance Aids allow the clinician to modify the level of support. It should only be used when appropriate for the patient’s diagnosis and rehabilitation stage.

Beginners and older adults may use it when they have appropriate support and supervision. The Hard Ankle Board and 51-inch Balance Aids provide a more stable starting configuration. Users should begin with low resistance and short, controlled movements.

It has six adjustable resistance levels. Two light cords and two heavy cords can be combined in different configurations according to the user’s weight, ability and desired training challenge.

The Soft Ankle Board creates a padded single platform over the independent footpads. It can be used for selected standing exercises, seated core work and hand-supported upper-body or closed-chain shoulder exercises.

The Hard Ankle Board creates a firm and more stable single platform. It is useful when introducing the Pro Fitter to rehabilitation patients, beginners or users who are not yet ready for independently moving footpads.

Yes, selected exercises can be performed with the hands on an attached ankle board. This allows closed-chain shoulder, plank and core exercises. Resistance should remain low, and movement should be slow, controlled and pain-free.

No. It is commonly associated with ski conditioning because it trains lateral weight transfer and rhythm. However, it can also support rehabilitation, balance training, core exercise, lower-body strength and conditioning for activities that require lateral stability and reaction skills.

The manufacturer’s resistance-setting guide includes user-weight ranges up to 320 pounds or approximately 145 kilograms. Users must select the correct cord configuration and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Use it on a flat, clean and dry floor with adequate clear space around the machine. New users and anyone with impaired balance should use the Balance Aids, another stable support or direct professional supervision.

Inspect the resistance cords, tracks, wheels and mounting points regularly. Replace cords when rubber strands become exposed and replace worn or cracked tracks. Follow the user manual because the top and bottom tracks require different cleaning and maintenance methods.

Yes. Fitterfirst manufactures the Pro Fitter in Canada.

Fitterfirst currently provides a one-year manufacturer warranty against defects in workmanship and materials for the original purchaser. Normal replacement items such as resistance cords and tracks are excluded. Commercial-use warranty service is at the manufacturer’s discretion.
