MyEdge

Info & Training Tips

Smart Training

Lateral movement powers performance across every sport. Our machines build the strength, balance, and explosive power you need to cut faster, change direction on a dime, and stay injury-free. Lateral training strengthens the muscles, ligaments, and joints that standard gym equipment misses. The result? You move quicker, react faster, and outlast competitors stuck on treadmills.

That's why you'll find our machines in training rooms across the NHL, NFL, MLS, MLB, and NBA. These athletes depend on split-second decisions and explosive lateral movements to stay at the top. They use our equipment because it works, building the speed, stability, and durability that shows up when the game is on the line. Whether you're training for the pros or just want to perform like one, you're using the same technology trusted by the best.

Training Ideas

Build speed, strength and stamina with multiple ways to train.

Push hard for 20-30 seconds, then rest for 1-2 minutes. Repeat until your legs are screaming. This builds the explosive power you need when the game speeds up.

Sprint Intervals

Drop the machine into your HIIT circuit to spike your heart rate. It's a full-body burn that builds cardio endurance without the joint-pounding impact of running.

HIIT Circuit

Find a sustainable pace and hold it for 20+ minutes of continuous movement. You'll build the kind of stamina that keeps you strong.

Extended Cardio

Set the machine to its widest stance, crank the resistance, and push as hard as you can for 2-3 minutes. Multiple sets of this will build serious leg strength and mental toughness.

Max Resistance Power Sets

Hover your hands just above the Assistant Coach Bar without grabbing it. You'll force your core and stabilizer muscles to work overtime, building the balance that keeps you in control when everyone else is flailing.

Balance Challenge

Tighten your stance, bend your knees, and use the bar for leverage while keeping your upper body completely still. All the work goes straight to your legs. You'll feel exactly which muscles power your performance.

What's the best way to keep my machine in top shape?

Maintaining your machine is a breeze:

  • Wipe down metal surfaces with a damp cloth

That's it! Our machines are designed for peak performance with minimal fuss.

Do I need to oil or condition any parts? What about other maintenance?

Good news - our machines are as low-maintenance as they are high-performance.

No need for oiling, conditioning, or complex upkeep routines. Just give your Power Bands, wheels, and rollers a quick once-over periodically, and you're all set to train.
