Introduction

In 2001, Physical Therapist of over 30 years and movement pioneer Anthony Cardenas created the first Yoga Swing™ out of the simple materials he had in his own home and accessories from the hardware store. Soon, that swing would develop into one of the most popular and unique fitness, therapy and relaxation tools on the planet – used by thousands of individuals and companies worldwide. We like to sum this up with the phrase “Total Body-Mind Fitness anywhere, anytime.”

After years of testing, experimentation and 6 prototypes later, the latest & most innovative in our suspension YogaSwing™ technology was at last born – the Omni-Gym – and since day one we have endeavored to bring you only the best in suspension swing technology for home, office, studio and travel use.

We have never believed that conforming to the norm is what makes our body, minds and souls happy, hence our company mission to always stay ahead of the curve and to never settle for just the standards with all of our products and techniques. We are very excited to share our love of flying fitness and suspension therapy with you and we hope our products turn your world upside-down just as much as they did ours!

HISTORY

Ancient Inversion

As is common knowledge, yoga and inversion have been practiced for centuries (with some of the first drawings of yoga and inversion dating back to 3000 B.C.) so what the Omni-Gym™ offers is not by any means a new practice, what IS new is the technique.

As inventor Anthony explains to us, the initial incentive was to create a comfortable and safe product that one could use in their own home for spinal decompression and inversion therapy, but it has evolved into so much more:

“As a Physical Therapist specializing in Pain & Stress Management for 20 years, I have been seriously exploring self-treatment of neck & back pain for a long time. Many years of research & self-experimentation have led to various self-healing techniques & devices such as Intuitive Yoga, Muscle-Brain Integration, Rhythm Therapy and Therapeutic Exstacise – all of which I consider part of the term I coined “Movement Medicine.”

I utilize these techniques on myself daily to keep pain and symptom free. When I invented the Yoga Swing in 2001, it was initially designed for inversion and decompression therapy but I quickly saw its manifold applications. Not only was it the best home device for self-care, self-rehab, and prevention of neck & back pain, but it also turned out to be the best inversion therapy device on the planet – bar none!

This extremely multi-functional swing turned out to be the most novel approach ever invented for total body stretching and strengthening, anti-gravity yoga‚ sports/dance/gymnastics training, suspension fitness and training and lumbar-pelvic traction & spinal adjustments. Not to mention, by many reports, that it just happens to make an incredible and versatile Tantra swing.“

It took a while for the public to get used to “hanging upside down for fitness” but as more people began to use the swing in the comfort of their own home, the more popular it became. Soon, yoga studios, gyms and personal trainers were using these devices as the next big thing and newest fitness trend on the market.

A TOTAL HOME GYM FOR TOTAL MIND-BODY FITNESS

Splits on the Omni-Swing™ (using just the straps)

The Omni-Gym™ will take your exercise routine to a whole new level, and for those of you who currently do not have a routine, the swing will create one! The overall effect of striving to maintain one’s balance, equilibrium & awareness while performing yoga, weightless fitness or aerial dance on the swing forces the complete integration and use of our total neuro-muscular-skeletal system. In other words you will not only get more physically fit and dexterous but cerebral functions will benefit as well.

It actively recruits far more brain neurons, motor cells, and muscle fibers than any ground or water exercise can possibly do thus creating increased neuronal pathway movement. As well as benefiting cerebral functions, regular exercise and play on the swing tones and balances the smaller stabilizer and secondary muscle groups for even greater neuro-muscular re-education and re-patterning.

MULTIPLE BENEFITS

Inversion on the Omni-Gym™

Not only is the Omni-Gym™ the most unique complete fitness device around, but it is entirely fun and therapeutic. Special bunji-like springs add an exhilarating zero-gravity bounce to the exercise that feels simply exquisite. Besides the sheer pleasure of hanging out or “swing-dancing” through movements, there are numerous practical and therapeutic benefits as well such as safely achieving inversion therapy and spinal traction.

The sole act of hanging upside down on the swing unloads the spine: thus relieving pressure on nerve roots due to poor postural habits, lack of proper stretching & exercise and the effects of gravity and our own body weight. Inversion alleviates muscle tension, neck & back pain, promotes increased joint mobility, flexibility, relaxation and increased circulation of blood, lymph & energy. It is an incredible anti-stress and anti-aging practice – we like to call it a “natural botox.” Inversion is one of the key tools Chiropractors and Physical Therapists use to treat neck and back pain. Think of the Omni-Gym as your own personal physician.

PORTABILITY & VERSATILITY

The swing itself is very lightweight (5 lbs) and comes with its own stylish shoulder bag, or can fit into any backpack. It suspends from any sturdy ceiling beam, rafter, tree branch, or from our beautiful NEW portable Rock-It Stand (it rocks and looks like the tip of a rocket).

THE BEST HEALTH & FITNESS DEVICE YOU WILL EVER OWN

Light years ahead of anything else (including our own prior models as well as all other inferior versions on the market), the Omni-Gym has a new soft fabric with a cushioned saddle, padded foot/thigh stirrups, 10 extra Hand-Loops, an Invert-Ease Cincher Strap and an ingenious integrated height-adjustment system for both sling & handles. Yep, no more slick nylon fabric, external height-adjusting cord, nor hard plastic sliders like the old version. Not to mention the 3-Spring Trapeze system and portable Rock-It Stand will make your Omni-Gym the best health and fitness device you will ever own!

*To clarify names, Omni-Swing refers to Swing without the Rock-It Stand, whereas the Omni-Gym pertains to the complete package of both the Swing & Stand. Yoga Swing refers to our older models (still for sale and just as exceptional!)
