This is a great product that we are excited about at T8 Fitness. Read on for more information below about the Spinefitter as well as the workshop.
Your multi purpose tool for back pain, shoulder tension and neck discomfort. The application of the SPINEFITTER by SISSEL® is easy and intuitive. Whether to support your Pilates or Yoga workout or with exercises specifically tailored to the SPINEFITTER, this tool offers a variety of options for you.
The focus of this innovative product is the application close to the vertebral column. The massage effect helps to stimulate specifically muscle zones and free any blockages that may exist. It is also an extraordinary feedback tool for your alignment and technique, a reminder of your position in space. SPINEFITTER by SISSEL® offers an immense range of applications that is only limited by your imagination.
In this workshop you will get to know the SPINEFITTER by SISSEL® in depth. Training on the SPINEFITTER is not difficult, however, instructing others on the SPINEFITTER to ensure correct posture and exercise requires a little practice. Learn how to supervise others, to ensure correct posture and practice implementation.
Well known to us here in Asia, physiotherapist and osteopath Alexander Bohlander will lead a 3hr virtual workshop on the benefits of the exercises from the therapist's point of view.
"SpineFitter on the Spine Corrector. I’m honored to be the first person in Japan to introduce to you some moves on the Spine Corrector with the SpineFitter. A magical prop, born 4 month ago. Make sure to get one in the near future. You will not regret it." - Beat Eggiman, Polestar Pilates Educator, https://www.instagram.com/eggi...

It's a tough situation that we find ourselves in (again). But we need to make sure we keep moving and stay healthy (here in Hong Kong, we are luckier than most).
Gyms are closed, and a lot of us are trying to figure out how to keep fit from home. And although you can get a great workout just using gravity as your exercise buddy, there are a lot of simple yet effective accessories that will assist in making your workouts more fun and effective. For example, adding a resistance band enables you to make use of variable resistance training (hugely effective), which cannot be achieved with body weight exercises.
In previous shutdown periods (and I plan to during this one) I have been attending Iso Fit Virtual classes, which has really helped to keep me motivated and consistent.
The following products are what I currently have and use at home (I like to break this down into categories). It seems like a lot, but they all pretty much fit into a basket in my living room.
I tried to take the above list and squeeze and condense it into 5 simple and affordable products, but I just couldn't do it (even with a little bit of creative listing!). So I cheated and added a 6th item. I should probably change the title of the article......
So my final list (May 2020):
EDIT: After spending a lot more time in 2020 working out outside or at home, I have played around with different workouts, mobility work etc. It has meant that I have tweaked my list - some accessories which didn't make it before have become essential to my daily routine. It is not easy to curate this list!
I love pull-ups so personally I need my pull up bar as well, but I realized that was quite specific to me and I tried to make the list more relevant to a large population. With the above list you can pretty achieve all of your health and fitness goals from the comfort of your own home!
I know, I know, everybody is different......what makes your list? Stay safe and stay healthy!

We had a great time at the Sports Soho event this year - we met lots of great people and saw some fantastic presentations. We were particularly impressed by the Hong Kong Aerial Arts Academy.
With lots of runner in attendance, the massage and myofascial release products were in high demand - in particular, the T8 Spiked Roller massager was a big hit! For those of you that suffer from aches and pains in your legs or knees as a result of running, you might want to make sure you get yourself a foam roller or a roller massager - they are extremely versatile and superb for releasing tension in the muscles. You can find out downloadable user guide here.
For experienced runners looking for that extra edge, here is a great article from Iso Fit on Pilates for running with a specific focus on running uphill.
Looking forward to taking part next year!
